SRTurbo04

Recommended Posts

Go used find something with a discrete graphics card and profit.

 

 

Go out buy a nice SSD or a Hybrid Drive (I just bought one they kick ass)

Max our the ram

replace the battery.

win764bit

 

you will have a bad ass refurbished laptop for 300-500$

If you need help doing this let me know. Moores law is making new less appealing over refurbing a higher end used business laptop.

If you want to go new then move up to the 1000$ level of laptop, Your getting a way better machine that will last longer and be way sturdier.

MY new tuning laptop > both of my old tuning laptops

i just bought a lenovo V570 at best buy upgraded it with 8GB of RAM from 6GB and took out the 5400 RPM drive and replaced it with a 7200 RPM drive and added a MSATA SSD drive. Computer kicks ass now and its an i5 Sandy bridge processor, does everything possible and still runs cool.

Paul what do you want in a laptop?

Do you plan to take it places ? Allot ? (Weight/screensize considerations)

Do you need long battery life?

Screen size?

Gaming (FPS/FlightSim/Racing/RPG)?

OS?

 

because if all you want is a device to surf the web and do basic tasks the EEE Transformer 10.1 is bad ass. Purchase the keyboard for it and you have ~16hrs of battery life. Very vivid screen and android 3.2 (4.0 soon)

Don't you work at Chase?

google for coupons. I got a new Dell Inspiron 17R for around $400 delivered.

 

If you want something cheaper, I have a Lenovo Thinkpad SL500 I have been debating on putting up for sale.

We've always rocked T-series at work, we are VERY hard on laptops and the new and old ones have always been rock solid.

 

I've got a Dell at home. I would have got a Lenovo in a heartbeat, but Dell's are a better bang-for-your-buck and at our price point we couldn't get a Lenovo.
