If I were going cheap on laptops I would probably go for a lenovo Roland00 Send a noteboard - 29/09/2010 03:21:19 AM
I owned a Compaq laptop that was very good and am definitely considering buying another one in the future. *shrugs*


Something like this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834146765
Or (even better) this
http://chron.travidia.com/ROP/ads.aspx?advid=39089&adid=9905501&subid=31293718&type=

Compaqs in laptops are almost all single cores with 2 or 3gb of memory.

your average dell is a piece of crap. LadyLorraine - 28/09/2010 11:10:16 PM 356 Views
I restart my shitty-shit Dell four to five times a day at work. everynametaken - 29/09/2010 02:51:56 AM 346 Views
Do not buy dell *NM* Roland00 - 28/09/2010 11:18:11 PM 139 Views

I've worked at multiple companies using all Dell. They are shit. everynametaken - 29/09/2010 02:48:13 AM 329 Views

What do you do with your computer? Desktop or Laptop? *NM* Roland00 - 28/09/2010 11:18:57 PM 149 Views
Desktop. I have network access storage for work files so I don't ever use laptops. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:25:15 AM 330 Views
Okay, now what will you use the desktop for? Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:49:15 AM 334 Views
HP Pavilion Elite. ≥8GB RAM. 1TB Memory. 1GB video card. They offer about 3-4 models like that. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/09/2010 11:35:32 PM 146 Views
I just looked at an HP computer... Tom - 29/09/2010 01:21:25 AM 473 Views

Doesn't the US have companies that let you pick the parts and then they assemble for a small fee? *NM* Helene - 29/09/2010 06:05:09 AM 135 Views
Most of those options were only $20 - $40 more than the base options Tom - 29/09/2010 01:50:20 PM 331 Views
Here is what I would recommend Roland00 - 30/09/2010 05:36:08 PM 369 Views
It gives me an error if I try to set up that configuration. Tom - 30/09/2010 06:19:34 PM 350 Views
Don't worry about that then Roland00 - 30/09/2010 07:09:30 PM 318 Views

You might like a Sony BlackAdder - 28/09/2010 11:43:56 PM 355 Views
Sony machines, especially their laptops, are vastly overpriced in my opinion. Morgawse - 28/09/2010 11:55:13 PM 325 Views
If you're looking purely at specs, yes that's true BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 04:36:52 AM 321 Views
I'm fairly sure that Sony no longer makes normal "desktops" Brian - 29/09/2010 12:58:00 AM 349 Views
Correct Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:52:17 AM 333 Views
That's what I thought. Brian - 29/09/2010 02:54:20 AM 374 Views
hmm, alright then BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:37:59 AM 332 Views
Yeah it bummed me out too. Brian - 29/09/2010 02:52:28 AM 341 Views
Re: Yeah it bummed me out too. BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 03:39:52 AM 404 Views
I've found Sony to be frustrating to deal with. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:26:33 AM 332 Views
Yeah they've been going downhill BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:42:33 AM 331 Views
HP used to be good, but I've been hearing bad things recently. Ghavrel - 29/09/2010 12:58:44 AM 342 Views
What bad things have you heard? Tom - 29/09/2010 01:27:23 AM 342 Views

I am curious what is your model? *NM* Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:15:09 PM 146 Views
It was a C500 I believe. everynametaken - 02/10/2010 01:30:29 AM 328 Views
I like my HP better than my dell. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:14:39 AM 338 Views
Did the bad computer lick your apples? *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:23:00 AM 141 Views
No, that would be a bad thing. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:34:59 AM 322 Views
But that Dell was the bad computer. *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:37:09 AM 122 Views
Hmm. I've just made an amazingly stupid post. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:40:02 AM 321 Views
Crack is wack, yo. Stick to grass. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:41:21 AM 304 Views
Dell sucks more dick than a gay boy at his first Pride event. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:21:06 AM 327 Views
I liked your "like a gay for pay frat boy" euphemism better. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:28:13 AM 331 Views
Well, they can't all be hits and I try not to recycle material too often. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:31:37 AM 316 Views
Re: Dell dick gay boy event. Gaps - 29/09/2010 02:59:38 AM 333 Views
I didn't say he'd do it well. But yes, I believe a significant quantity of pole smoking would occur. *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 03:02:38 AM 127 Views

Good advice *NM* BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:43:38 AM 128 Views
Anything designed by Cyberdyne Systems is the future. *NM* jiggy - 29/09/2010 09:51:56 AM 170 Views
I've heard they have problems with their customer service. *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 11:52:25 AM 135 Views
I heard the opposite. They respond quickly and effectively. *NM* Gher - 29/09/2010 03:36:03 PM 137 Views
No customer ever complains twice, eh? *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 03:36:52 PM 131 Views
Nope. Gher - 30/09/2010 03:24:23 AM 305 Views
