<p>So after hours of researching, i narrowed down my laptop choices down to 2.</p>
<p>About me:
Im going off to college in the Fall, i’d like a laptop that will last me all 4 years at least and maybe beyond. I’ll use the computer mainly to browse the internet, emails, and some gaming (MW2, CSS). </p>
<p>Under the laptop Choices i’ll list the differences.
So the contenders are:</p>
