,,,,,,comma,,,,,, Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I have been really into getting a macbook pro lately but I have been realizing that $1000 can be pretty steep for a computer today. Show the best laptop you can get right now for the money. I am hoping to stay in the 6 to 700 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturg1647545502 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Dell and hp are shit. I picked up a gateway( a 1st for me) with some really good stats for mid 5s. Its pretty good, but I can't play high quality games.....it gets crazy laggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I've heard good things about business dell, but even their open box stuff is expensive and lacking selection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 i use a toshiba satellite a505 at home and its okay. i7, 4gb so the speed is good, but it over heats, and the keys are tempermental. I would recommend steering clear of the satellites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend steering clear of the satellites. I have a satellite as well. I have never had any over heating issues. But I'm glad i'm not the only one with key issues. I have the L675 with 4gb of RAM and the the i3 and 17.3" screen. Out side of the key board I love it. Both my parents have satellites with the 15" screen and neither have issues with the key board. I on the other hand would highly recommend any of the Satellites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I forgot to mention battery life is huge! Dell business class (Vostro) w/ a larger battery. Adds more weight obviously, but if that's not of concern it's worth it. They are built strong and are spill resistant. I can tell you from personal experience that computers do not like to drink Killian's. I haven't tried it with this one though. Just be careful how you option it out. You can spend alot of money on basic upgrades that aren't really worth it. I have a Vostro 1500 with a 9-cell battery. It's 4-5 years old now but still easily does anything I need to work remotely. I typically get about 5-6 hours of mixed usage on a full charge. I used to get around 7 when it was new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 http://www.products-design.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/turbo-button.jpg A button that overclocks the computer on command. Cool feature. I have it on my MSI. I also flashed mine to OC higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
