I am starting to look for a new laptop and am not interested in building it. I was wondering which company do you think is the best to buy from, since it seems some of them just throw some parts together, download a bunch of useless behind the scenes junk, and then ship to your house. Thanks a lot.
My friend has a Toshiba Sattelite. He didn't buy it for gaming and it runs well. I would reccomend one of those. If you have the extra cash, dell makes some decent laptops. I'm not quite sure, but I think Asus makes pretty good laptops for the money.
my old HP Pavillion zd8000 was like a portable space heater, but damn was it a great machine when it came out. ran HL2 with the best of them. mine only died when it was knocked off a rather high coffee table onto hardwood floor cracking the once gorgeous 17in wide LCD. /mourn
Anyone but Toshiba, i think they got an F from the BBB. We have an Acer and it has been working fine.X360PS3AMD05
Actually according to the ratings I saw on the BBB they had an AA. I saw one complaint on the page and the guy didn't exactly explain. For all we know it could be some Dell supporter. ~grin~
I have been quite pleased with my Toshiba's and I would not hesitate to buy from them again. I have also been thrilled with my Toshiba 32" REGZA.
Actually, you can build laptops. The problem is find the whitebox versions of MSI, ASUS, and ABits laptops. Still, from what I have read, its a PITA. Plus, its sometimes better to get the extra warranty on the laptop. Unless you buy a Gateway, they are fine up to the 2 year, but the 3rd year that just seemed to ignore me. Thats why I went to Toshiba in the first place.
And definitely not Acer...unless you have no money.jfkunrendered
I actually found Acer to be a reasonable value for the cash-strapped; their customer support was pretty good. There is a lot of preloaded junk, but the hardware is typically fine for non-gamers.
