Title: I want to get a laptop Post by: InsaneTrout on January 30, 2009, 09:05:44 PM ok soo selling my computer hasn't gone so well as some woman (or man) tried to scam me but it didn't work ha ha soo when I do sell it I want to buy this laptop http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4374296&CatId=2618
I want to get everyone's opinion here to see if it's a good deal or not for this price... I can't find any computers at this price or cheaper that are as good as this your opinions are greatly appreciated thanks =] Title: Re: I want to get a laptop Post by: Coburn on January 30, 2009, 09:39:10 PM I would have to say for $600, that's a pretty sharp laptop. And with a $300 savings, you can't beat it!
LOL, my laptop cost me about $800, and it is only single core with 2GB RAM and 140GB HDD. This was like 2 years ago though :P Go ahead and buy it. It's most likely worth it. Title: Re: I want to get a laptop Post by: Kyla666 (zzk2001) on January 31, 2009, 01:48:27 AM hate to put it down or anything but it only has a Pentium D 2.00ghz CPU Hell my Super Old Pc has a Pentium D 3.0ghz CPU and 2Gigs of 667MHz ram is like only 50$ now a days and the GPU is only some crappy Intel® Graphics =/ I would maybe pay 300$ for that.
Title: Re: I want to get a laptop Post by: Coburn on January 31, 2009, 02:06:19 AM It's a dual core and it's a laptop. You can't buy a laptop with anything better for under $1500.

I am still for desktops. for $1k, you can get a $15k laptop in a desktop form. It's much cheaper.

I am still for desktops. for $1k, you can get a $15k laptop in a desktop form. It's much cheaper. Lol i can config a laptop that is 4k and can destroy a 2k desktop in benchmarks and versatility. Sorry but if you want a laptop and dont want it for gaming go to bestbuy or circuit city or something and pick up one of their cheap ones it'll run just fine. EDIT: i cant build a laptop that competes with something with quad graphics cards and 8 gbs of ram and thats skimping on a lot of stuff to config a desktop for 2k.

EDIT: i cant build a laptop that competes with something with quad graphics cards and 8 gbs of ram and thats skimping on a lot of stuff to config a desktop for 2k. yeah but I'm not looking just for any cheap laptop is the thing. I'm looking for something that'll play full 1080P HD movies and has a lot of space to put all my movies,music,pics etc etc I mean a 1080P movie is like 10gb and up each and I have like 2 gb of pics and like 40gb of music already and there would still be more to come and that's not including the OS size and apps like photoshop is like a couple gb and I'm looking for something I can hook up to my Sony Bravia Downstairs and watch in full screen 1080P with no glitches or anything and it's got to be very portable.....like with my desktop I have to unhook everything and lug it up and down stairs and it's just too tedious to take places I want what I have in my pc right now....just in a very simple portable version for cheap |
