Well, to be fair I tried very hard to not say that directly. It tends to cause flame wars. I just wanted to explain that it wouldn't be the most 'efficient' use of a laptop. Obviously a throttled back i5 quad is going to out-perform an overclocked core-2 duo.
Yeah, I probably should've worded that better, sorry.

If you'd like, my fiance has worked for Microsoft and Dell, and he's incredible at building rigs. He could probably put you a shopping list together if you were willing to build your own.
Hmm, well, I suppose I could try building my own. It might not be a good idea, considering I have absolutely zero experience with such things, but if it yields the best results, I could give it a try. If someone is willing to help me out, I'd appreciate it. Of course, they'd probably be walking me through the whole thing, so.
Now that I think about it, it really comes down to whether or not my mom will actually agree to letting me get new...computer-stuffs. I'm only 16 and jobless, so getting something this expensive is gonna be hard. I guess if she says no this whole thread is basically pointless haha...actually, it would've been a good idea to talk to her before I made this thread...oops.
Well, it was enlightening nonetheless. I'll talk to her and see what she says.
