Rally Pat Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I have a similar model, and I hate it. I dont think I will ever be buying a mobile AMD machine ever again. The one you picked out has slightly better specs than mine, but the same processor, memory, and HD. I am almost to the point of selling this laptop, and buying an Intel one of some kind.

Rally Pat Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Its an HP thats enough reason not to get it. Thats a stupid reason. My first laptop was an HP, and the laptop I used in High School was an HP, although I will admit that I loved my Lenovo a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 It's going to suck for any good 3D game. A mobile 7150 is as low-end as you can get for the last generation of GPUs. But if you don't plan on doing any 3D applications, then it won't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I picked up a very similar HP Laptop. I have a HP DV6646. I love it so far. the only difference is that it has the Turion X2 TL-58. I have had nothing but good luck with HP laptops. I strongly recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHaze Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Its an HP thats enough reason not to get it. LOL, my thoughts exactly. I switched from AMD to Intel a year ago and probably won't go back unless some serious cpus come out from AMD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 what is amd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 advanced micro devices. AMD is a chip manufacturer. They've been kind of sluggish in releasing new chips recently. The laptop you posted (and mine) feature AMD processors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Fuck a AMD Core 2 Duo. Dell Vostro 1500 For the money you can't touch it. for 1100$ you can have a Full out gaming laptop with a 8600GT in it. Or you can go mild and do much less and still have a core2 powered machine. check slickdeals.net / techdeals.net / fatwallet.com Find ac oupon and don't get butt raped by store prices.
