Ebay.com, or if you can get like 300 you could get one from dell i saw on tv my laptop cost 800 after rebate.

Desktops are more powerful for a cheaper price, however you can't tote that around quite as easy lol. So if you don't intend on going anywhere to often then I suggest getting a desktop.

how much could you get a desktop for that is atleast decent like being able to run halo, and a decent graphics card, etc?

On ebay or custom building one id say that you can get a decent one for about $500 or a bit lower.

www.tigerdirect.com has decent quality PC barebones kits for $99.

Genrally, labtops are more expensive than desktops because they are harder to make, there parts are more expensive, and making the batteries, geeze. Don't pick alienware labtops even though they are really good (the best to be precice.)

F-f-f-funny! But serously, do you care what kind of laptop you get? Do you want it to be good and cheap? Or cheap cheap? EDIT: I don't think even the bare-bones laptops are under $145.

Alienware doesnt make there own laptops , they are made by Clevo and rebranded.

I can hook you up with an old ass Inspiron with windows 2000.

750$ for a very decent desktop

You could probably make your own for cheap, but I don't think any labtop is $145......

my pc was originally 350...but i put like 300 into it so...yea...check out tigerdirect.com...they have some good deals sometimes

My desktop was 2k

, and I'm possitive that unless you just want the keyboard, you wont get a laptop for less than 500 if you want lowest everything almost.
