    haha, good luck finding a sub 1500$ laptop that will run halo well. try finding one with ATi's radeon mobility chip.
    edit: heres a no name one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=42201, it doesn't come with an OS and the speed sounds a little misleading "up to 3.06GHz". it has the radeon mobility 9000 though, just keep in mind that a laptop like this and most others have cheap screens so when playing games you will get a lot of ghosting.

          beefstew "needs" a laptop for school.... not college, high school.... it "has to be" a laptop. Good luck on your search, Fruity.

            dell graphics blow...

            its hard to get a laptop to get good graphics and all that cause of almost no airflow or room for decent size fans.

                if it was 1400$ from dell then i doubt the screen is that great. it might have a good max resolution, but i doubt the contrast ratio or responce time is very good. to get an lcd screen that is good for gaming you have to spend like 700+ alone.
