Well mine's a pretty shitty laptop that I don't use for very much gaming apart from titles such as the older fallout games, FFVIII and Beyond Good and Evil, but it does what I need it too good. And ten years ago I would have thought it a total beast.
It's a cheaper Compaq 6715b with a Turion 64 X2 processor, a gig of ram, 120gb hard drive, a ton of useless security features such as finger swiping, built-in bluetooth and wireless LAN module, media card reader and it's saving graces, a nice ATI Radeon X1250 and a great looking 15.4 inch screen.
EDIT: Grand Total: $450 (Via a deal through a business).
