<p>Okay, what are some software(s) that are essential for the laptop? I'm using OpenOffice until I can find a killer deal for Microsoft Office...</p>
<p>Games, accessories, etc?</p>
<p>microsoft office, definitely.</p>
<p>if you have any interest in design, photoshop would be a good investment. </p>
<p>i think a lot of it depends on whether you're running a mac or PC, especially game-wise.</p>
<p>PC. Laptop.</p>
<p>some form of adobe acrobat (most get reader)</p>
<p>Some good FPS games. :)
Half-Life 2, Call of Duty, Halo, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament 2004...</p>
<p>Those games need some good specs to play smoothly, make sure you have a good laptop.</p>
<p>Quake 3 is ancient. :)</p>
