    I have come to the point in my life that I need a laptop. It will not be used for gaming, more for school type shit and work. I am looking to spend around 600 bucks. Are there any brands that I should look at or stay away from?

    Just going by what my brother bought... I'd recommend an HP... very decent hardware (can handle any use other than gaming) for about $450 on HP.com

    No problems as of yet, no overheating, nothin...
