In need of buying a laptop

[barfownz]

It has a NVIDIA GeForce® 8600M

The bets of its kind is a NVIDIA GeForce® 8800M. Thats just for the 3D and quiality of the game.

8600 can play all games made from Today and below with the highest quality.

I think it has 2G RAM, but my friend has this exact laptop with the same features and he plays games perfectly!

If that's the case, then I'd just see if he'd let you spend some time on it for a bit, just to see how it runs. My laptop needs more memory, but I don't go around complaining to my friends (only my closest of friends). Ask him "what do you like least about your laptop?" and see if that seems like something that's going to bug you down the road.

Sometimes stuff that doesn't seem like a big deal in the excitement of buying a new computer becomes a bigger deal down the road, when the "newness" wears off, or so my experience has gone.

I'm sorry, I can't let this post go by without comment. Erica needs to post this in every relationship, music and fashion thread.

Seriously.

All the discussion on this machine about upgrading RAM is moot: the max on the machine is 2 GB according the HP site.

First, a HUGE difference: the first machine you were looking (Best Buy) at is CANADIAN SPEC and priced in CANADIAN DOLLARS. The second machine (Office Depot) is US SPEC and US DOLLARS! Decide which country you are in, and then work from there

That issue aside, the Office Depot machine is upgradable to 4 GB. I doubt that Office Depot has an upgrade to 4 GB option, but yes, you can upgrade it yourself at a later time.
