Getting laptop

Re: Getting laptop

I have 60 gigs... and it isn't enough. 30 gigs of mp3s (had to stop DLing a year ago) + plenty of porn & tv shows / movies... not enough.

PS - go with an HP. Amazing customer support, but good enough laptops that you don't need the support. Well... my backlight died when it was under warranty; free shipping to them with pickup, and it was back within a week. Fixed and free.

I have an HP as well. Works perfectly fine, and haven't had any problems in the past. Personally, I think HP's look much better than Dell Laptops.

As Jursey said, Dell Laptops are good too. My brother got a Dell, and he hasn't had any problems either.

Re: Getting laptop

I just got a 100GB, 2gHz Duo Core Processor, 2GB RAM, 17inch, 256MB Radeon Card laptop delivered to me today. It ran $1500 after all the rebates were applied.

And, yes, it's freaking huge.

Re: Getting laptop

Well, what is your budget on this.

First off, upgrade that HDD to 100gb, 7200RPM.

Re: Getting laptop

I think the new dell laptops are pretty sweet. I'd convince my dad to get me one, but i'd rather have a horse.

Re: Getting laptop

Well, I suppose it depends on what the laptop will be used for.

Wait for the core duo 2 to come out in a month or two.

Re: Getting laptop

Yeah.. 17 inches is insane for a laptop. This thing is widescreen...

Anyways, from what I remember, I've got 80 GB HD, 2.16 GHz, and 1 GB RAM on this laptop.

Re: Getting laptop

Speaking of Laptops, I just got one yesterday. Asus A8jm. Intel Core Duo T2400, 100GB drive, 1024DDR, Nvidia GeForce Go7600, and It can't even run SM. I put all the settings on minimum and I still get a constant 30FPS. Did I get a bad version or what? Please help.

Edit: Nevermind, realized that when running on battery theres an automatic FPS reduction. Just plugged in and getting 500 now.

Re: Getting laptop

My XPS notebook came in yesterday. It's got 1 GB RAM and the nVidia 256MB GeForce video card. 60GB of hard disk. It's pretty sweet so far. It's also got a 12 inch widescreen and it weighs 4 lbs. Cost me like 1,500.

Re: Getting laptop

Drop the 17'' and go with something smaller. Upgrade the proc to a 2.2, and kick the HDD to a 100gb 7200RPM at least.

Wow that sucks. If you're going to get an XPS you should get a good XPS

aka you should have gotten the better video card, 180GB HD, and the 17 inch widescreen.
