best gaming laptop japan image
Joseph
When anyone gets on any of the computers to do anything such as watch videos it causes the games I play to lag. I was wondering if there was anyway to get around this. I figured there should be, because my ps3 has a wireless connection and never lags (even when all the computers are being used to watch videos and such) but the 360 lags constantly and has a wired connection.
Answer
That's because your PS3 online games often play in only 720p whilst most 360 games play in 1080p... that's results in a huge difference in data transfer. Even though the PS3 is the more powerful machine PSN don't have the income from subscriptions to offer the same levels of service as Xbox Live.
But that does mean you need a better connection to run multiplayer games on the 360 if you want to continue using other pieces of equipment online simultaneously. If you are not willing to invest in faster connection, you'll just have to turn off a computer or two when you play.
I live in Japan and I have a relatively slow service by Japanese standards (Hey! It's free!!) but I rarely have any problems with lag despite having lots of torrents running on my laptops (downloading and uploading at crazy speeds) and 2 360s on Live at the same time playing across servers (with UK and US hosts).

getting a new laptop what kind and where?
Ashley
I want to get a new laptop. I don't make that much so it cant be a really expensive one. I would like one that's extremely durable, has at least 2 USB ports and 2 SD slots, Microsoft word already downloaded, a good anti-virus software, a camera, and spell check on everything. If there is a laptop out there that meets or comes close to the things I want for a cheap price (under $900) please tell me.
Answer
Assuming you are for real (So many general questions are spam IDs to match up with a different mating spam ID), to do well you need to learn the basics to know what you are getting. Will try to be simple.
Here is laptop quality:

MacBooks are outrageous in price for the CPU+graphics you get. Average is alphabetical in the table. You also note Compaq is now HP, and Gateway is an Acer. Asus and MSI are designer-manufacturers, and Lenovo Thinkpad has a Japan design team.
For cpu+graphics power look here on the two tabs:
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php
For gaming if interested, here:

Check size, weight, ethernet (hardwire port download+streaming) as gigabit 10/100/1000 or fast 10/100. Fast is slow and gigabit is fast. USB 3.0 is nice for the future use. web cam megapixels. bluetooth for cell phone links. hard drive speed and size. Amount of ram for stability in running more things at once and a separate graphics with its own ram is a premium.
That is your education.
Microsoft includes a Word starter now excel starter in almost every Windows system, and you can get Openoffice for free as a Microsoft office compatible freeware or buy Microsoft Office for a full version. Antivirus will have a starter subscription and you decide later about freeware or paid versions. Spell check is normal in most text software. Apple Macs run OSX and have less compatible software and missing key things like USB 3.0, Bluray, HDMI, and need special versions of software.
Where to shop:
Newegg.com, Lenovo.com (on sale models only), tigerdirect.com
Bestbuy occassionally has a special, as does Bhphoto.com, and ncix
Amazon sometimes is OK, but is a slow process to shop because the specifications are hidden until you read the whole data set. They are a pain in the rump.
Will suggest one to start, and then you compare around to do better.

Lenovo Ideapad Y570 and Y580
Y570 08626FU gets you 15.6" screen standard 720p, 2nd generation Intel Core i7-2670QM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M 1GB GDDR5 (but reduced GT 555M version a little), 8GB of 1333MHz RAM, 2.0mp cam, USB 3.0, Bluetooth, 500GB 7200 rpm storage, DVDRW and after the 10% off, $630 plus tax and windows 8 upgrade for $15 when released. Has veriface and 1 key rescue, multitouch pad, numeric keypad. There are a few GT 640M laptops now coming in reach around the same price point at a similar performance, but usually step down to the i5 to do it.
Y580 - 209945U is $900 plus tax after 10% off and there is a Y580 within your budget, but I'll show the good one.
Takes the Y570 and raises the CPU to 3rd generation Intel Core i7-3610QM, raises the graphics to NVIDIA GeForce GTX660M 2GB, raises the DRAM to 1600 MHz speed, raises the display to 1080p
15.6" FHD LED Glare Wedge 1920x1080, makes it a bluray combo drive from the DVDRW, raises the wireless to Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200BGN, does cut the camera to 1mp, adds a bit to the weight 2.8 kgs (6.15 lb), now at 2 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0, changes the top shell to aluminum and the battery to polymer type. It is an impressive system for the price, but is a little over budget when adding tax. Not sure you can get all the bells and whistles anywhere else at this price.
With these two, and the tools I provided to compare systems, shop to your heart's content to do better. [add: compared to the HP at the same $900+tax, they downgrade graphics a lot, hard drive is the 640 at standard speed instead of 500 7200 so you need $10 to raise it to 750 7200, battery is the standard lithium ion (phony hours shown from HP), display is the standard 720p, webcam is a 0.3mp, no bluetooth, inferior wireless, inferior shell, not sure of the RAM frequency. The only thing they do is add 2 speakers and boost the bass. This system is a Y570 equivalent with faster CPU but lower graphics so should be $630; not $900.]
