Today I got an email from Acer. First one I remember ever getting, which lead me to looking at laptops that which I really, really would love to be able to buy. The top of the line, no way in hell can I afford these machines start at $1500 is the Predator 15 G9-591-70VM Gaming Laptop, way too rich for my blood at the moment. Then there's the Aspire VN7-572G-53E7 Gaming Notebook, which comes with a $700 price tag, which is $100 off the regular price.

This, of course lead me to look to see what my local Microcenter had to offer. The ASUS ROG GL551JW-DS71 15.6" Gaming Laptop looks awesome, but at $950 no way am I buy that soon. Even the "open box" available at the moment is $900. But, more in my potential budget, if my arm ever got twisted by one of my current machines dying is the Acer Aspire E5-491G-70PX 14" Laptop. It doesn't have the back lit keyboard of the gaming rigs, but otherwise looks to hold it's own against the other two machines. The $650 price is more than I have to spend,though. Lastly they have the Toshiba Satellite C75D-C7232 17.3" Laptop, with a $500 price tag. If I was actually in the market for a new machine this is probably what I'd end up with at this point.

To put things in perspective, while I'm making significantly more than you're average McDonalds burger slinger, I'm still making less than the $15 an hour that they're asking for.
Anyone got a million dollar lottery ticket they don't need?
