laptop buying questions
 

can anyone tell me about laptop computers? A friend would like to buy one, and is not too picky about new / used, but I don't know much about them. She will use it for surfing, games and just monkeying around to pass time at work.

any tips or suggestions woill be a help.

Thanks. :)

Bronxie, do you still have that laptop for sale?
:BP:

I just realized, this belongs in the new swap section! Sorry, please move this thread when you can. :o

3 choices.

Dell

Dell

other than that you can't go wrong.

What about a Dell? I hear they are pretty good.

btw you prick, I just bought that damn camera you were talking about!:BL:

(it was just too good to pass up, I like it when other people do the legwork for me. :) )

BASTARD

that cam is backoordered at work.. no telling when i will get it. and i canno lay out the $$ for one locally. so send me yours lol.

lol, I will send you a pic of it.... mine is backordered too, be shipping on the 21st.

Watch out for Sony laptops. They have extra security measures which can be a pain in the ass. I have stayed clear of laptops as I have never found them to be economical in time on reloads or money on purchase or upgrades.

Plus I never go anywhere.. :BL:


Ð :S:

Dooood!

She's gettin a Dell!

Sorry, I forgot what the specs were.:o

One thing to remember if this will be a gaming machine. Laptops use a compressed version of the 104 keyboard. I have found it necessary to plug in a regular keyboard when playing some games. Also, I recommend getting(if avaliable on Dell's machines) a radeon 7500 mobility with at least 32 MB DDR Vram or better. Otherwise, your graphics will just plain suck!:D
