I do my school online and my desktop is really horrible. I'm choosing a laptop over desktop because I can move around and do my work. I've heard about the fingerprint problem with this laptop but its good for entertainment, but how about gaming, like Cabal, heres a link to the game, requirements are at bottom http://cabal.ogplanet.com/download.og?op=game

Anyway, i'd appreciate some opinions on if i should get this laptop or not. It's $779.99
