It's not Cactuar lol.

Anyway, I really suggest checking out your local PC stores and finding something in that price range. If you want, go there and jot down the models of the PCs that they have and post them here. That way we have a better idea and can help you narrow it down.

Just make sure none of those used ones are stolen if you catch my drift.
And you should ask if they have new hard drives. You don't want to use the old hard drive, you don't know what the other owner could have left on it. Bank account numbers perhaps. *cops breaking your windows to get in*

yea I just want a decent laptop to play counter strike that wont lag Im gonna buy the counter strike complete pack.Thanks for the help guys!Keep on postin good priced laptops and links if ya could.THANKS!

Here is a Compaq notebook for $395 and has some good specs to it:
Intel Mobile Pentium 4
Processor: 2.0 ghz
Bus Speed 400 mhz
1024 MB of RAM
60 gb Hard Drive
Link: Laptop Advantage

Ah that seems perfect!It wont lag though will it? :biggrin:THANKS!

I think that one will do rather well. Anything could run counterstrike.

Oh I hope so.Thanks man!Thanks for all the help guys!Feel free to keep postin!

That laptop Deadpool posted will probably allow you to run Counter-Strike 1.6 and Condition Zero smoothly, but not CS:Source.

The video card it brings is rather old and only has 32 VRAM. I suggest you get try to find a laptop with at least 128+ VRAM and the brand of the video card should be ATI/NVIDIA. Stay away from Intel graphics cards for gaming.

Cant I get a new vide card and graphics level 9 card?

You can't upgrade laptop video cards..Well maybe you can but you'd have to be skilled. Plus it'd be expensive and it's not worth doing IMO.

Is there a Best Buy around your area? They have this $500 laptop on sale that has pretty good specs for the price: http://tinyurl.com/5jrwyu
