Waffnuffly, she/you/you both are in an OK position. She knows what she wants but isn't close minded about things. Sonys are basically one of only 2 or 3 brands I'd trust for consumer grade laptops, from what I've read anyway way. Be aware there's a lot of preinstalled crap on Sonys she or probably you would prefer to uninstall. I really did browse what Newegg had... only to discover practically every ones were glossy. Well, not the Lenovos and strangely a couple Asus gamer laptops... I'm sorry! Cheapest warranties through manufacturers are Thinkpads (last I heard 3 years went for $80), followed by Dell. Those laptop warrenties on via Newegg probably are cheaper though. The Thinkpad might be too much bland looks for her and that Lattitude would be easy to cobble down with coupons and the upcomming "need to get rid of the old models." Actually, T500 Thinkpads are pretty cheap right now given new models will be out in the next 1-2 months. Comedy Option: can she wait 1-2 months? New Intel CPUs means everyone will try to nuke their supplies of older generation laptops. Perhaps you two can score a Sony NW on the cheap. Not good advice, I know... Good luck Edit, on a lark I went to the Sony website. Let's just say the asking price there for a NW was not good. LaptopGun fucked around with this message at Dec 28, 2009 around 02:33 |

Thanks for that. Yeah I doubt she wants to wait 2 months, but I'll make a note of that and tell her. And I will definitely be cleaning the hell out of the machine for her when it shows up so she doesn't have all the bloat to mess with. I didn't realize Thinkpads had 3-year warranties, and for less than the Sony's 2-year as well. That might be a good bargaining chip. I'll keep looking at Latitudes and Lenovos/Thinkpads. Anyone know of any good, reputable sites that carry the dell Latitudes? We have some at work and they are very sturdy, but oddly enough Newegg doesn't have any.

So the Vostro V13 was released with pretty limited fanfare, but it looks like a spectacular unit for its price point. It's super thin and super super light which is rather tempting. For $770 you get: Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, with Media, 32-bit, English 2.0GB, DDR3-1066MHz SDRAM, 1 DIMM 320GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive 3 Year Basic Limited Warranty and 3 Year NBD On-Site Service Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor ULV SU7300 (3M Cache, 1.30 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD 1.3MP Webcam with Digital Microphone Intel Pro/Wireless 5100 802.11b/g/n 6-cell 30WHr internal battery For an extra $169 you get 3yrs of accidental coverage too. The only flaw I can see is that it doesn't have a user-serviceable battery which could become a problem down the line. Has anyone seen any real world feedback on this notebook?

Does anybody have any other reccomendations for a gaming laptop, besides this and this? Recap: I'm in the Army, and going to Korea so I'm not going to be lugging around a desktop. I sold my custom built before I shipped to Basic and am looking to buy a comparable laptop before I go to Korea for around $800-$1500...

I'm looking to get a budget laptop, ideally in the sub $500 range (will go up to sub $600 if it's a spectacular deal). I've been eyeing slickdeals and newegg for good deal, and lenovo has some good ones going right now. Anyhow here are the criteria I'm looking at: #1 Durability. I want a laptop that has a good track record, and that's one of the main reasons I'm willing to go above $500; if I can get a laptop that I can expect to last a couple extra years, there's no problem in shelling out a little extra up front. #2 Portability / battery life. Definitely looking almost exclusively in the 14-15.6" range. #3 Extra frills. Coming with Windows 7-64 pre-loaded is a definite plus. Having a discreet video card would also be nice, although I guess this is one of the least pressing concerns. So here's what I'm looking at so far, available through lenovo's contractor site: Lenovo Y550: 15.6" T6600 4GB DDR3 Windows 7-64 320GB HDD ~$600 This is an excellent deal compared to other things on the market. The Y series has a good reputation, and outside of the fact that it comes with just the intel video (and the HDMI out), it's pretty much packed to the gills with quality components. It is outside of my price range but close enough to make the purchase worth it. Lenove G450: 14" T4300 4GB DDR3 Windows 7-64 320GB HDD ~$480 Within my price range, small footprint / slower CPU than the Y550. This would be my ideal choice, but I'm not sure how the overall build quality compares between the G and Y series. Which is the better deal? Are there better offers out there that I've missed? Will it be very much worth it just to wait a couple months? Any input would be much appreciated since I'm not too familiar with laptops.

Wow, this is pretty drat good and for that price? That seems better than the two laptops I linked and for a much cheaper price... It seems pretty drat good... So, now that I'm narrowing down my choices... this is my first laptop. I was pretty good at maintaining my desktop on both the hardware and software side. Is there anything else I need to know to keep my laptop in the best shape it can be?

Anybody get their hands on the Adamo XPS? My boss is asking me to price one out for him and I was curious if anyone had any pro/con stories. It looks insane sizewise, and apparently the keyboard actually disappears into the display. I know already that it's: Pros: - Incredibly small - Stylin - Really really small - Nice display Cons: - Anemic processor - Not much battery life gain for size reduction - Super expensive for what you get Anyone have any experience?

So apparently the criteria I had for a business laptop are going to change now that I have a better idea of what they're installing for me: - Good battery life (3.5+ hours) - CD/DVD drive (netbooks and "thin" laptops are oot) - Decent performance for running terribly bulky, poorly programmed insurance quoting software - Budget $500-700 I really hate reading laptop reviews online because user reviews will be 80-90% while magazines poo poo all over them, or vice versa.

Augh, there are too many drat laptops out there, I need some help. Here's an outline of what I'm looking for: -Small and portable (~13") -Reasonably rugged build, I won't be able to afford to replace it for awhile -Sub-$1000 definitely, even lower than that would be good -Fairly good performance--I don't need it to be super fast but I'd like it to still be usable for a few years I was thinking about a Macbook but apparently their hard drive hookup is proprietary so I couldn't pop in my own SSD down the road if I wanted. Also it's only capable of holding 4GB, so if 64-bit becomes more prevalent down the road it'll get obsolete fast. And it's still $900 even with a student discount. Anyone have any ideas? Is a Macbook worth it or could I get something comparable or better for less? HondaCivet fucked around with this message at Dec 30, 2009 around 03:06 |

Torn between two laptops and need advice. One of these will replace an old Dell Inspiron. I want it to be able to surf the net and to play Eve, not run Crysis at max settings. Other than that I'd really like it to last for 3-5 years without looking to replace it. I know you can't future proof any pc/laptop but my inspiron was 7 years old and still running things decently for me before the hard drive died.

Also in the price with both of these laptops is their 3year protection plans which is supposed to cover spills, drops etc. Don't know if that helps or not but ANY advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

I'd suggest trying to get a laptop with a reasonable amount of ram already in it, unless you have spare ram or patience lying around. 3+ gigs of ddr2 is just fine Also, OCZ makes some "mac" solid state drives link to newegg listing. That'll be 200 bux. But, your ssd price is going to be around 200-300 bux for that size non-crappy ssd anyway. 700-800 bux left As far as macbook prices go (i'm assuming you're not interested in a macbook pro?) you could've got a new one for 728.00 earlier if you were from the university of maryland. But at the moment, they're 849.00 as refurbs. IMO a mac refurb is just as good as a new mac - same warranty. If it's a mac you're after, godspeed. But, since you're going for good build quality in your PC or your MAC you might find yourself slightly .. sliiightly over your budget (200 bux or so after taxes?) with that SSD, unless you find some great deals. I can't tell you if the SSD is worth it right now, but I've heard nothing but awesomeness when they're ever mentioned - I just picked one up from amazon yesterday and haven't gotten it yet though. As far as pc laptops go in the 13.3 range. I know there's the dell studio xps 13 which is pretty "rugged" I guess. edit: I wasn't sure if your 1000 dollar range was for just the laptop or for the laptop with upgrades.

Alright I was researching laptops for a month or so straight because I was basically ignored by the previous iteration of this thread for 2 months straight. I'll try to help you guys out as much as I can with my limited knowledge and tremendous stupidity. I finally chose a 14 in. Sony Vaio VPC-CW18FX/B. Looks to be pretty good, my friend has one and I basically got a better version of his for 899. P7450 at 2.1ghz, and a Geforce 230M. Hopefully it is nice. It's coming in the mail today sometime, so I'll post something up about it later. Problem is the version with the 230M for some strange reason is discontinued or something, and they only come with 210M now. Was between this and a Lenovo y450, a 14 in. with a semi-glossy screen, a P8700 at 2.53ghz, and a 240M, battery at 2.5-3 hrs, at closer to 1000, but couldn't get this at express shipping.

If you want a SSD in your laptop, just go with the base drive that's configurable and get an aftermarket OCZ or Intel SSD.

spydermn You can get lucky with HP. The problem is they seem physically incapable of designing a reliable cooling system so their laptops run hotter than average. In my opinion that leads to a lot of issues like fans dying, parts busting, plastic casing warping (note the rash of screen hinge failures they had two years ago), etc. Hell, is it any wonder that the first laptops anyone knew about to have the incredible melting Nvidia graphics cards fail were HPs? I got a friend who swears by HP over Dell. He's had 2 fail on him and I'm wondering when he'll figure it out. Graphics wise, Notebookcheck ranks the ATI 4670 ahead of the Nvidia GT230. I guess it's a small but noticeable difference. Random notes: as already stated, buy your own SSD if you want one. As far as the Studio wireless cards go, make sure it's the Intel branded one. The Dell ones aren't as good. Upgrade the Studio's CPU to the P8400, 8600, or 8700. Trust me, if you were seriously considering a quad core, you'll appreciate the better performance and battery life of those C2D's

I got 7 years out of it and just want to make sure the next one I get lasts close to that long. I did look at an ASUS that bestbuy had last fall. Several people in the old laptop thread said there were problems with the vid card overheating though so that turned me off. edit - This is funny. Since typing this reply, I've gone back to both websites to see if anything was different and found that HP is now offering the 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 4650.

I'd rather get a 7200 RPM hard drive at the moment because I think that SSDs are still maturing. But if you want one, here's the advice from SH/SC's own SSD megathread. SH/SC SSD megathread OP posted:Which is the best consumer SSD? : Intel SSDs give the best overall performance while OCZ comes in close. I think the OCZ drives are cheaper. Also, don't buy a SSD from Newegg. Their prices are terrible for SSDs.

I'm in the market for a high-end laptop and thought I might draw on the collective knowledge here. Basically, I'm in grad school for architecture and therefore do a ton of 3D rendering/graphical production that really demands a lot of computing power. The benchmark for these types of machines seems to be Boxx, but their mobile workstation starts at $3500, and that's a bit steep for me. At school, I also have access to a render farm, so I can offload some of the heavier jobs. However, I think I'm going to need at least the following: -Quad core (I7 is the new thing I guess?) -At least 6gb of ddr3 ram. Ability to upgrade this would be a plus. -1gb graphics card -64-bit system architecture Does anyone here work in a similar field and have any particular insights? I've been looking at HP computers, which seem to meet these requirements. The Envy 15 seems like it'd be able to handle the demands. Anyway, any input would be much appreciated.

What I've gone through and have worked out so far is that you're pretty right on with specs there, there's an ASUS M60J which ticks most of those boxes as well as the Dell Studio XPS 16 which also has similar specs. The HP Envy's seem to be of similar spec but are significantly more expensive and they're made by HP so the quality is a bit dubious.

Many people have done this in the SSD megathread with the Intel SSDs. For the MBP, look at the Apple refurb store. Get a 13'' refurb MBP, and add your own RAM and hard drive. For about the cost of a stock 13'' brand new MBP, you can get a 13'' MBP with 4 GB of RAM and a 500 GB 7200 RPM hard drive. It's pretty easy to upgrade RAM and the hard drive in the MBP from what I've seen.

Get the Intel G2 either 80 or 160GB. Hope you got the budget. The Vertex and other Barefoot drives are great too. Minor caveat: those drives just need to set SATA hard drive to compatibility mode in your BIOS to install Windows. After that, you can set it back to AHIC or however you spell it. On second thought, don't listen to me about installing a drive I don't own and just go read the SSD megathread.  I hate to keep bashing HP. Yet I have to. All non-business class laptops tend to be crapshoots. I' just give Dell better odds to not have stupid stuff go wrong (I say this knowing full well I've had a friend get screwed over on a Dell warranty)

Regicide posted:My mind is zeroing in on this laptop. It seems really loving good for the price. How's the battery life? And what do you not like about the laptop? Battery life? It drops my truck batteries pretty quick, but that's a mix of loving cheap rear end Volvo batteries and diesel fired heater... Oh wait, you mean the laptop? I just use the battery as a built in UPS. Problem areas, uh keyboard is a little bit different, and has a huge loving trackpad. Also I use a nano wireless mouse and the usb covers won't close on that side now. It also has a monster sized power brick. Still, it rocks.
