I need a new laptop, can anyone suggest me one ?

Priority 1
I need a fast disc, pref 7200 rpm sata
1 gig ram
17" 1920x1600

I dont care about speakers and other gaming shit.

I looked at the HP located here: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping...=computer_store

but that one has a 4200 RPM disc.

I need a good machine, as you might know i'm fucking them up fast ...
Any suggestions ?

Thanks

B.

Im not sure they make 7200rpm SATA 2.5" disks...

Custom build it...Hope this helps!

I love mine...so far, so good...knock on wood!

Dell customer support has been good. :)

nick for us mortals any laptop will do fine but boldy is a different issue. you are talking to a guy that makes ide harddrives last 90 days. he needs speed he is constantly programming on that shit (go figure programs from a laptop) i keep telling him to get a kick ass desktop and use laptop for what it was built for an extension of your office with basics.


but no one listens LOL

jokin boldy don´t kick my ass

Just one of my lowkicks willdo :nyanya:

I just got an Acer Travelmate 4501i that I'm very happy with, but I don't know if it would be up to your specs.

My brother writes programs on servers I think...lol

I really only use my laptop for making money. ;-)))

I can't program the VCR let alone a computer ;-)))

Just one of my lowkicks willdo :nyanya: [/b][/quote]

look for the ones that have the brightest screen

Wish I had thought of that..

My new HP is great , but it being nice here in Canada today and working on my deck I can hardly see the screen in the sunshine

Thanks !

OMFG boldy just busted a nut

i have the same problem an ibm top of the line centrino i bought exactly a year ago. the screen is a piece of shit.

one thing i didnt bother to check is the screen and now i realise thats the most important factor in laptops

I believe Toshiba laptops have xbrite as well
Tosshiba makes ome of the best laptops too

2 things to look for are batery life and the screen. well i got 5.5 hour battery life but horrible screen.

centrino is a must as well


maybe i need some drivers that i'm not aware of to improve the screen quality that i'm not aware of, anyone got any suggestions ?

ohh shit i did too damn thats a nice one

I don't know about their laptops but I absolutlely LOVE my Dell desktop as it's been light years ahead of my old computer in reliability so I would happily buy a Dell laptop if I needed one.

I only buy Dells. There customer support has always been on the ball. We had a laptop that was out of warranty by 4 months - the monitor got cracked ( our fault) and after a little harassing they sent someone out to replace it for free.

Their prices are hard to beat as well.

anyone have an experience with one of these babies ? http://www.alienware.com/

Those are the bomb ..

From my understanding those are primarily bought by hardcore computer gamers rather than for work.

yes, but 17" 1920 is prio 1 and the 7200 rpm disc

And they look awesome

I currently have an Area 51m and love it. No problems so far (just over a year) and had another Alienware before that also worked without any problems for a couple of years. I use mine constantly and they get turned off rarely. The few times I have called Alienware with questions they have been quickly answered by people that actually knew the computer and were obviously familiar with my model.

I have friends who have Clevos and Liebermanns and they are happy with them also.

I like my Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop. 1.7 Ghz Pentium M processor and a 7200 rpm h.d.d., it is fast enough for video editing too.
