| I was looking over at Best Buy, and saw a 330 $ Windows 8 laptop with a 14-15.5 screen computer with I think 12.5 GB. Or so it says. |

I got Windows 8. The only con is when you accidentally hit the touchscreen.

"Trust me, you do NOT want Windows 8, it's a terribad OS."
its windows 7 except faster and no original start menu how is it "terribad"
also, in general nothing below 400-500 dollars will be of use in gaming for laptops if you are light gaming any pentium laptop would be fine, as long as it doesn't use Intel GMA.

@jhonny
Win 8 is pure crap. I've used it and got back to Win 7 after using it for 20 hours (not idle time, actual usage time). The Win 8.1 update didn't help at all.
And so what if Win 8 starts up faster? Ooh, real upgrade! Win 8 starts up about 10 seconds faster than Win 7!
Also, Win 8 doesn't support as many games or softwares as Win 7. Win 7 is more professional when Win 8 is more of a media computer, not for people who actually know something about computers. |

"What games DON'T work on Windows 8?" I can vouch for Windows 8. I've played well over 100 games using the OS, some on Steam and some emulated.
Only one didn't work (The Ultimate DOOM), however I got it to run using a simple fix in the code.
Windows 8 is very flexible. |

Laptops that are under the $1000 range are garb at running games (especially modern games).
Get a desktop, if you want cheaper gaming ($400-600), or get a laptop ($1000-1600) for the approx the same performance on the go
get rekt |

| It lags on MC, but I play most games fine. If you're a serious gamer, I'd go for a windows 8 desktop. |
