Darn good.

ASUS N53 Series 15.6" Intel Core i5-2410M 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Pros: Anti-Fingerprint cover Large hard drive Full keyboard Nice webcam 1950x1080 display It runs super cool

Cons: The speakers are pretty bad when the volume is loud The screen plate is made of shiny plastic that shows finger prints The keyboard is a bit odd to type on, but it'll be easy to get used to To scroll you need to enable the feature and use two fingers instead of one Lots of bloatware

Overall Review: So far I've tried to play Minecraft and Skyrim. Skyrim plays on high settings very well and Minecraft generates worlds quickly.

Well worth it

MSI 17.0" AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM-82 4GB Memory Windows Vista Home Premium 9S7-172134-024

Pros: 1. Brushed finished. I really hate finger print magnets. If any finger prints do manage to get on the laptop they gave you a nice screen-wipe. 2. I can play all my games on "High" CS:S, Battlefield 2, Battlefield Heroes... Haven't had time to install other games yet but it eats everything. 3. The sound it wonderful. 4. 17" screen with HDMI out. 5. Number pad 6. Webcam and mic.

Cons: 1. The right shift key it a bit too small for my liking. 2. The Fn and Ctrl keys on the left should be switched around I feel. 3. Windows Vista 32x Home Premium 4. Only three USB ports.

Overall Review: The DVD drive has a very large button and I always seem to hit it causing the tray to open. The touch buttons are neat, but you can mistakenly turn off/on something that you didn't want in the first place. Others have said something about the Power button being too close to the Esc button... It's not. The heat vent is on the right where your hand would be if you were using a mouse and also right handed. It's warm but not hot. Overall, I LOVE this laptop. It beats my old Dell E1505 out of the water.

Great upgrade for an old computer

Pros: -Runs BF2, CS:S and HL2 all on high. Runs CoD4 on low with 16-26fps. -It can be easily overclocked, but you'll need a good fan to cool it off.

Cons: It would of been five eggs only if the install hadn't of taken so long. You have to remember to uninstall your motherboard's integrated graphic drivers if there are any.

Well worth it.

EVGA GeForce 6200 256MB GDDR2 PCI Graphics Card 256-P1-N399-LX

Pros: I bought this card a little over two year ago and it's still working just fine, very quiet. It can run Battlefield 2 on medium, Portal, Half Life 2 and Counter Strike: Source on medium to high. If you have 30+ bots, games start to lag if they aren't on low. Great card for old motherboards.

Cons: It's a PCI card.

Overall Review: You really can't beat this price, I bought it back when it was 90 some bucks.
