This laptop practically died (screen is hanging, battery is totally dead and won't run without AC power, and headphone jack is wonky), but it's still a capable gaming machine. So I'm going to hook it up to a monitor and use it until I can build a gaming desktop sometime in the future. But now here are my new laptop specs. I aimed for more of a budget laptop this time for school and work. It was very reasonable (under $500) and actually it kicks ass running L4D2 (even though I didn't buy it for gaming), so I think I got a really good deal: Lenovo IdeaPad Z575 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit AMD A6-3420M 1.5GHz (boosts to 2.4GHz) Quad Core Processor 6GB RAM AMD Radeon 6650M dedicated + 6520G integrated 500GB 5400rpm HDD 15.6" 1366x768 screen
