Am lazy to look / hoping for different opinions. xd
What is your current budget?:
Max $800 for a new laptop. This is including tax (and S&H if ordering online is the choice).
What part are you looking for? Why do you need it?:
Quad-core CPU (Dual-core would do nicely if this isn't possible) - Because six cores are too expensive.
At least 4 GB RAM - The more RAM the better
A Nvidia video card with dedi memory - Essential if I'm gonna use the laptop to game or watch movies anywhere. Size of the dedicated memory doesn't matter to me too much, but it'd be nice if I can get like 1 GB.
At least +6 hours of battery life - There'll be times I won't be able to plug this in, so I'll need all the battery life I can get.
Windows 7 32-bit! - Probably not important, but it'd be better for me in terms of compatibility with many games. I wouldn't mind 64-bit if no options show up.
What parts are in your current computer? Be as specific as possible. Links to Newegg/Tigerdirect are best. If you have a pre-built, include the make and model.
I used to have an IBM Thinkpad R60... and it's a sucky dual core with 2 GB RAM. And it was from university. And it's busted now, so now I just need something that blows away my old broken laptop.
How do you intend to use this new part or new computer? What's the heaviest load it's likely to encounter?
Mostly gaming. And I mean something more graphic intensive than MapleStory... say like Starcraft 2 at the highest settings.
If you live anywhere other than the United States, please indicate your country.
I'm in the you ess of a.
