Well since the HP computer has shit its self enough we were able to get a replacement laptop. I can play again :D . This computer is another Asus, its basically the same as mine but different design and about 40 gigs of more memory. Ill temporarily be using this until mine comes back from repairs.

You should look into building your own - it's not really that hard, and very satisfying once you get everything working right. The hardest part (for me, anyway) was getting the OS installed, updated and running properly. It's also nice not getting all the pre-bundled crap that manufacturers throw in.

BTW, good to see you're back up and running ;)

You could have one for the house at least, I have a laptop, but I don't use it for gaming.

Yeah, next thing to do would be to make one. The thing is this is a replacement computer for a previous crappy HP laptop. My brother would be the one to make the computer though, I'm not very computer smart.

I have no experience with HP laptops, but I own an HP desktop that gave me absolutely no hardware issues - ever. I still have it, which is about 6 years old and will run SC4 decently. My current PC is a home-built with drives from another HP desktop :D I didn't do the original build, but I helped the guy do it. A few years later, I acquired it and about a year after that, something totally messed up the hard drive so I had to reinstall the OS. The HD itself is sound, so I think it was the underpowered PSU that may have caused the failure (upgraded it, no problems).

BTW, if you ever have a non-booting HD and have info on it that you ABSOLUTELY NEED TO RETRIEVE BEFORE FORMATTING, look into a Linux-based boot CD - I was able to save ALL of my pictures, videos, etc with a Puppy Linux boot CD (and a couple of flash-drives) before I re-formatted the HD. Probably won't work for mechanical failures, though.

The HP laptop my brother used to own after it screwed up 4 times under the warranty, it maybe because that HP was a special edition, the out of the 4 times it screwed up was twice for the motherboard, once for the back light screen not turning on, and the last mess up was the wifi switch that didn't work.
