2talltim Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I agree not nearly enough ram. I run 8gigs with Win7 on my desktop, slightly overboard I know but I love it. Although its not that hard to upgrade the ram just a bit more pricy. yea we have 4G in our HP desk top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjachic Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 HP YUCK!!!! Not my biggest fan. haha That last one I like better because of the graphics card. NOt a huge fan of the radeons but its better than having the graphics card built into the motherboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had, dell, gateway, hp, acer, Compaq, lenovo and they all have the same stuff on the inside and Ive had issues with all of them, and have gotten a few good apples out of a few but no one brand stands out. One is as good as the next in my honest opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 microcenter is my go-to... they usually treat me right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjachic Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 yeah do some other research and check other website in case you can get either one of those cheaper and print it out before you go to microcenter and they will price match it.

jporter12 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'm a HUGE fan of Toshiba laptops. I've had fewer problems from them than any of the others mentioned.You might check out dell's outlet section on their website. Toshiba has moved all of their outlet stuff to ebay.

2talltim Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Told my wife to go check out that HP on her lunch break and she bought one:lol:. I guess the guy said they only had a few left and when they are gone they are gone(and she fell for it:rolleyes:) But he did tell her that we can bring it back in 30 day if we find a better deal on something else, and if we did find a better deal else where bring in the ad and they would match it where they could. So kinda like a little test run and im still going to keep my eyes peeled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Messing around with this HP today its pretty bad ass, I think it out performs my desk top. Plays you tube, and netflix in HD through wifi loading very fast and plays seamlessly. The sound is great, and putting the 8gb ram in it made it lightning fast. Ill keep I look out some somthing better but I really don't see it happening for $300 out the door its a kick ass deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
