V8 Beast Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 My compaq was a victim of gravity. What should I be looking for in price and features for a new or slightly used laptop? My current one is a compaq presario nq50 (or something like that).. dual core, 15inch screeen, worked great for what I needed it for. I wouldnt mind a bigger screen, but thats about it. Help a bruva out so I dont get raped trying to buy a new laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmwohio Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 What do you mainly use it for? Surfing? Gaming? Any software that you run on it alot? Do you need alot of storage for pics or vids? Do you need speed? Or do you have an external hard drive to store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She loves it. pretty durable, decent specs and a good price. Would recommend. The specs are similar to the one I just broke. Thanks! P.S. I was going to replace the cracked display but its 150-200 for me to install. For that price I can get a used one and transfer the hard drive.

I use my computer to troll CR, set up events, and watch low quality porn when my wife has a headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
