Title: Thinking about buying a laptop
Post by: _Ichimaru_Gin_ on November 26, 2007, 06:27:56 PM
I've been thinking about buying a laptop soon, and wanted the opinion of some more computer savvy people about one that I've been looking at.

If you plan on using it for gaming, the processor is rather "meh".

Otherwise, it's fairly decent.

It's pretty good, I'm using it and it is decent if you don't load it with too many huge games. ;D

Thanks, I don't plan on using it for gaming so that's not really an issue.

Pretty good- I wouldn't use it as a gaming computer. Actually, I wouldn't use most laptops for gaming computers, too hard and too slow, plus gaming computers are desktop computers. If you do want to game, go with any mac. Just buy more memory for the mac, 512 (the standard) is too little.

Sometimes it freezes up. That's it.

I didn't know laptops were that pricey. Although the processor isn't up to the standards, the other specs are pretty decent. I'm not too sure about the graphics card, though. It's probably not much of a problem. I always thought it was best to buy a cheap laptop and an expensive desktop.  :P
