Is there any way to get a decent/above average laptop with a $1OOO budget? I cant make my own, sorry :|. It has to be from a brand.

Alienware Laptop for 700-900.

I'd say get a Dell laptop. They're cheap but most of them have good graphic cards which will allow it to be "above average" for the "Below average" cost.

I heard Dell laptops are ripoffs. Or it may be some other brand. I forgot. I remember my cousin showed me this article where they compare these laptops which are all the same expect for the brand name and Dell (or some other brand but I'm pretty sure it was Dell) was almost twice the price of the rest.

They had a thousand dollar laptop for like 2,500 dollars. Yeah, thats a ripoff.

Best bang for your buck right here. xD http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9366651&type=product&id=1218092150636 Edit: what are you going to do with it anyways? o.O Edit2: Above: An Alienware at any set price is just a ripoff regardless, especially at a higher price.

Get a Macbook Pro 13", with educational pricing, I'm sure its around $1000.

Alienwares are rip offs. Period. Any laptop you find there, I can find for a better price that will perform faster. The laptop that Chickenz posted is good for general tasks and lower to mid range gaming.
