Let's see if you guys can help me out on this one.
Recently, I've been looking for a laptop that would suit me well, but still not come out ridiculously expensive. I've been with Dell for quite a while now, but it seems now that they will fail me. (I probably shouldn't even have been with Dell.) I would love an Macbook, but those simply come out too expensive for me. I'm probably going to try not purchasing a laptop from a brand place (such as Dell or Apple). I've heard from my friend that he was able to configure a decent computer with Core 2 Duo processing, ATI Radeon video card for about $800.00 from some website. So I was wondering if any of you knew where I could get a deal like this. In short, I need help purchasing a new laptop. Details as help comes. |

You can configure stuff at ibuypower or cyberpowerpc but their build quality is hit or miss.
I'd recommend a cheap Acer, ASUS or Lenovo, though you'd be hard pressed to find a decent laptop with a good dedicated graphics for under $1000 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16834220122 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16834115365 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16834146269 |

QUOTE(kryogenix @ Apr 5 2007, 10:48 AM)  cyberpowerpc Hm, I believe that's what website my friend was configuring his laptop on.Oh yeah, I'm looking for a pretty efficient computer for photography and multi-tasking and running those heavy Adobe suite programs. I'm looking around or less than $2,000, so that should probably give a little bit more breathing room. In addition, I'm not taking any of that hit or miss stuff. It's a hit or forget about it. |
