Buying a notebook

[FTA]c0m4ndo45 · Post by **[FTA]c0m4ndo45** » Sat Oct 10, 2009 12:10 pm

Guys, me and my mom are needing a notebook. I'm gonna use it for classes in general and some gaming in between classes while i'm waiting, etc.

I found this one. Gonna cost additional $200 to bring it to brazil. Im noob with notebooks... is that a fairly good one for, like, source games, UT3, cryengine 2...

Also, don't suggest alienware or stuff from other uber stores in US. The costs to bring them here from these places would probably double the price...

I can only choose from this listwith +30% cost/taxes to ship...

It should run all source games well on high settings, that graphics card can be compared to a desktop geforce 9500GT or GT 120, crysis you wont be able to run on high i guess, middle should work fine and UT3 isnt so demanding, you should be able to run it on fairly good settings.

I browsed a little more and found this one too.

Main difference is this one is on a ATI Radeon HD 4650. I don't know if thats stronger or not compared to the geforce 130M.

Well i'm picking either this or the one mentioned before. Gotta decide till tomorrow.

Thanks for the help by the way!

Where ever you go to build a computer, make sure to get at LEAST a 2 year warranty/service agreement. The way it is with new technology for computer hardware, there is usually a 10-20% defect rate. It has nothing to do with the company that builds your PC. It's all about the companies that make the individual hardware going into it. But if you have a warranty or service agreement, you can send your pc back or have them ship you a new part instead of having to individually RMA each part.

I wish I would have paid the extra cash for the agreement with iBuyPower when I bought my PC. After one and a half years, one of my video cards failed, my dvdrom doesn't work, my monitor has a giant white line through it, and my power supply blew. If I had went with the warranty I could have had all of this fixed for free, months ago. But I was cheap and I'm paying for it in the long run.

Besides, do you really need a 15 lb. overpriced laptop for "classes in general and some gaming in between classes"?

oh and lol at the rich kids at my school who have AlienWares and all they ever do is go on FaceBook.

Farmville can be very cpu and gfx intensive...

Yes, but Farmville is also extremely addictive.

Your topics keep disappearing because you keep making RETARDED posts and threads, same reason why you're at warning stage one.

Also no make the avatar on your own. Who the frak do you think i am to make one for you?
