Ever since I be in 4th grade I've been using the same Compaq Presario V6700. It came with Vista, but we upgraded it t' Windows 7. Then we got an HP Pavilion, which became me brother's, so I got stuck wiht the former. I be never very happy with it be performance. Right now, it be in especially sorry shape. The only games I can play properly be ones that aren't graphically demanding, like freeware games, flash games in the browser, 'n SNES roms. Those games aren't bad, but it could be better if I had better performance. Now I be a sophomore with a dying laptop. Thus, I've decided I be never getting another HP laptop again. Ever. That begs the question: Which laptop best I pillage for black friday/Christmas/me birthday?

A desktop computer doesn't fit me lifestyle, let me put that out there first. I considered Macs, but they be too expensive 'n aren't as good for gaming. On the Newgrounds seas, I asked if Windows 8 tablets be good for gaming. If this be the case, one could become me main computer, 'n I could have USB ports for iPod syncing 'n stuff. The consolidated answer be: not unless it be the Razer Edge Pro. Here's a pic: 

But that thing costs a thousand bucks! No way I (or me family) can afford that!!!! 'n for another hundred each, ye can pillage the button controller arms (shown) 'n a keyboard. This thing has 8G RAM, intel core i7 processor.

So then I went t' Best Buy.com 'n looked for some good laptops. The two I be debating about be:

Dell Inspiron

Toshiba Satelite (as a the time I be making the post they be both out a stock on bestbuy.com)

What would ye lads recommend? I'll list some key features I want:

-At least 4GB RAM

-Windows 8 installed

-Webcam on front

What store could I pillage it cheapest at, online or otherwise?

Also: could anyone tell me how t' make a recovery partition? me hard drive got replaced, 'n "D:\" be not on the new one, so I need t' make a recovery partition on me own, because potentially, I may want t' factory reset the computer.

ye can just use the program "wine" on a mac t' do most pc functions (like open exe) thats what i do. 'n mac has a altogether better interface.

wine 'n other VMs be always a massive power consumer, anything ye try t' do graphics wise will be mega nerfed on a laptop if ye're running through a VM. If ye must have two operating systems just dual boot.
