Ditto! You can get a gaming computer for around $750 instead of $2k if you buy refurbished. They're great for viewing videos and movies, plus they always have enough processing power and memory so that you don't have to upgrade so often. I usually look for Asus, but I've also purchased Toshiba's. Laptops rarely have the processor speed or memory available on desktops, but many of the gaming computers do.
