Sick Budget low-mid tier gaming/casual Laptop

SAMSUNG Series 3 15.6" AMD A6-3420M 4GB Memory DDR3 1333 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit NP305E5A-A07US
SAMSUNG Series 3 15.6" AMD A6-3420M 4GB Memory DDR3 1333 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit NP305E5A-A07US

Pros: - CPUz shows the Quad Core doesn't even max out for doing normal applications. - Smooth and runs 7 like a boss. - Runs quick even before removing some bloatware (not alot preinstalled) - Has the expanded num pad and directional pad like a full fledged keyboard - Has its own dedicated GPU for gaming instead of the generic one. It score okay on benchmarks for games and 3d marks - Runs League of Legends (Max Settings w/minimum shadows) Max FPS: 60-70 / Min FPS: 25-28 - Runs Call of Duty MW 1 (High settings minimum shadows) Max FPS: 44-51 / Min 17

Cons: The solid independent RADEON HD 6520G only kicks in on really demanding programs such as games. It runs idle for casual use, thus, the potential for smoother Win 7 usage such as maintaining Win7 Aero and streaming vids could've been better.

Overall Review: You pay for what you get. This was a excellent deal for a laptop that can do it all and light/casual gaming smoothly.

Most Critical Review

Heavy/Tiresome clicks

Rosewill RM-2400L 6 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser Mouse
Rosewill RM-2400L 6 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser Mouse

Pros: Still works decently after 5 months.

Cons: My biggest beef is the the two main mouse buttons (left & right click) are really clunky, and stiff. In relation to mouse usage, it is tiresome to actually click this mouse when used on a daily basis. I say this cause I have other 10$, 30$, 50$, and 100$ mice. As soon as you get the box you can tell it is cheaply made. I am not complaining cause you do get what you pay for sometimes.

Overall Review: If you can get this mouse for 4.99$ like some people, its arguably worth it. Its honestly worse than the free ones when you by over priced premade computer packages like HPs, and Compaqs.

FAST, RESPONSIVE, SMOOTH

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 for Business
Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 for Business

Pros: 1. It fast and easy install - Plug & Play 2. 1000 dpi tracks just fine so far - no skips or hiccups 3. Glides Well - tried it on 3 types of surface (paper, cloth mouse pad, wooden table) 4. Buttons feel fine - nothing fancy or exceptional though 5. The USB receiver can be hidden in the mouse for convenience (Not all mice implement this convenience) 6. Range - works fine for me 7. Response - fast, I sense no real delay. 8. Solid feel - w/ battery in weight and texture of the mouse feels like good quality, not cheap like Rosewill products 9. Good size for a portable mouse - not too small

Cons: The USB receiver is a pain to pull out w/ just your hands! For about 23$, its a tiny bit pricey when a few more $ can get you a solid gaming mouse. However, personally I don't think investing that much in a portable mouse is worth it. For me any lower end wired/wireless 10$ mouse would suffice.

Overall Review: The most common portable mouse I have seen is the Logitech M305 Wireless Mouse for 10$ at any given store. While this one is easily superior I can't recommend paying more than double for a solid increase in quality overall, especially since the majority of laptops and traveling mice are not used for competitive/extreme gaming. If you're rolling in $$$ this mouse is worth it.
