Laptop suggestion!?

Re: Labtop suggestion!?

get a VAIO
;]
or a Toshiba.
:O!

Is that wink because VAIO's are complete garbage? If I was anyone getting a computer, this is my advice to you - STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM VAIO'S. There. I feel better. I say that because getting one of those bad boys fixed when they break is IMPOSSIBLE. Sony likes to make their parts exclusively, so you have to send your computer directly to a Sony manufacturer - which can take weeks if you're not close to a manufacturer.

Lastly, I have a Toshiba, and I love it. I think I have one of the Satellite models (don't remember which), and I haven't had any problems with it except that one time I tried to play with my MSConfig. All in all, I'd recommend a Toshiba to you.

P.S. Get on Amazon or some other place that reviews electronics and see what people say. It'll help you a ton.

EDIT: Get a machine with XP - they're more reliable, and cheaper.

Re: Laptop suggestion!?

If you buy a computer off the Alienware website you can custom select the programs you want. I selected XP for my laptop becauase I didn't want to deal with Vista. The graphics are great, and it's an all around good comp for gamers. The only downside is the cost. But I think it's worth it. I've never had a problem in over a year, and my other laptops didn't last more than a year at most before they completely died.

Re: Laptop suggestion!?

I have to ask (because I'm still a newbie) after looking over the thread in general and noting about three posts in particular, are there people who are just total ass****s that I should stay away from them? Anyone in my thread in particular?

You might as well stay away from the forums altogether if you're perturbed by a few posts/posters. It's going to happen all of the time in any thread you make - some people are exactly as you say - assholes.

Try not to focus your attention on them - they usually make a post or two to quickly boost their self-esteem and then are gone.

Re: Laptop suggestion!?

The brands really don't matter. If you are going to buy a laptop and want to be happy with it. SPEND THE CASH. I am running Vista on a dell E1705. I got CPU and memory upgrades. I have never been happier Vista runs great if you have the machine to run it on. If you are trying to save money, check newegg. Search by Windows XP look for a Gig of ram and a dual core. Plenty under 800 that run XP great. If you have trouble finding it let me know I can link you a few.

Re: Laptop suggestion!?

if you're working in some form of media, get a mac book, especially since you have to buy a ridiculously expensive gaming laptop just to have the oppurtunity to get xp instead of vista.

Re: Laptop suggestion!?

MacBooks are alright, i just prefer PC for gaming reasons :/
