-- Posted by Cunning Stunt at 8:50 am on July 19, 2008 Can I get some suggestions for good lap tops in that price range? And by good, I don't mean someone who doesn't know anything about computers and assumes that good means that it works. I mean it's above average and can handle gaming. -- Posted by MXfreak at 8:51 am on July 19, 2008 go to best buy and ask one of the nerd workers -- Posted by daz101 at 8:52 am on July 19, 2008 get a acer laptop it rocks GO ON OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- Posted by circa at 8:54 am on July 19, 2008 If you want a customized laptop that you don't have to build yourself, Dell's your best bet. People are usually wary about their customer service, but honestly, it's pretty fucking good now. A few months ago, I overwrote Windows with a faulty version of Linux and didn't have my CDs - they sent me the CDs, free of charge, in about a day. They then followed that up with e-mailing me and asking if I needed any help or if there were any difficulties, etc. It was impressive. tigerdirect has a lot of offers, but for every gaming computer you look at on there, you're going to probably want dual processing power and, at the very least, a gig of RAM. After that, go to CNET and read the reviews from other saps that've already bought the product that interests you. -- Posted by shadowfreak at 8:55 am on July 19, 2008 EBAY!!!! -- Posted by violaghost at 8:58 am on July 19, 2008 DO NOT get an Acer or a Dell. Those are the two worst brands on the market right now. HP offers good quality and features, although it's not the coolest design in the world. Toshiba and Gateway also have some very good models in that price range. I just conducted a half a year laptop search, so if you sent me the names of some stores you shop in, I'd be glad to help you out. (points appreciated ) -- Posted by Reefer at 8:59 am on July 19, 2008 Amazon or Ebay. OR WAL MART!? -- Posted by circa at 9:01 am on July 19, 2008 Quote: from violaghost at 11:58 am on July 19, 2008 DO NOT get an Acer or a Dell. Those are the two worst brands on the market right now. Back that up, please? -- Posted by factboy01 at 9:02 am on July 19, 2008 You should consider going to Best Buy or Circuit City, and purchase an HP Pavilion dv6700 series. They easily beat Dell's inspiron series, and even some of their mid-ranged PC's at around $600. DELL SUCKS! Sorry. -- Posted by Cunning Stunt at 9:03 am on July 19, 2008 Quote: from MXfreak at 11:51 am on July 19, 2008 go to best buy and ask one of the nerd workers Worst. Advice. Ever.
