wnaplay1647545503 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Looking for quick answer if this laptop is good for the money or not. Tapped at at the high end of the budget, just dont want to buy junk.

Not Brian Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Upgrade to 8 gigs of ram and it's a nice little laptop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airwg2189 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Don't buy from Best Buy, you could get that same/comparable/better laptop cheaper from Newegg or Tiger Direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I looked online a little and couldnt find a better deal. It will be used for browsing and light gaming editing using something called hauppage I believe. I certainly found cheaper ones but the guy at bestbuy said the amd processor was going to be better than than i5 intel version of the similar laptop. He also stated this quad core was better for my uses than the dual or else I would have stuck with the cheaper one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaSSon Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 That's a 1.5GHz quad core cpu. It'll speed to 2.4 for short bursts if need be. It's an alright processor. Far from a speed demon tho. And 4 gigs of RAM is plenty. There is absolutely no need for you to upgrade to 8gb. Edit: the Best buy guy is full of shit. An i5 will blow this out of the water.

Browning Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 i5 is better but nothing really wrong with that laptop. It should suit you just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 might be a decent idea to go ahead and get one of the extended warranties too since it'll most likely be packed around a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
