    I wanted to get a new laptop for gaming. I'm not a real hardcore gamer or anything, but I still enjoy sleek graphics without much lag. I customized a dv6zse series laptop, but I'm not sure whether it would be worth the cost, which is 854$. I'd like to keep the cost between 600-900$, so this fits the requirements HP Official Store — Buy and Customize your dv6 and dv6zse series PC direct from HP

    Does anyone have any recommendations? Any problems? Is the price tag worth the value?

    Also, I'm sorry if this is the wrong section to post in. Mods, please delete/move as you please

    The quads have the new second gen core processors that are worth the extra $100 or 2 it will cost for the system.

    There will be more coupon codes, there always are.
