Synister Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 So I'm lookin to buy a laptop or notebook, and was wondering if anyone had any tips for which are reliable. Mostly for work, I already got a gaming comp. Im not lookin to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a laptop so yea.. If anyone knows which laptop/notebooks are the best for your dollar atm please share XD Quote
Drake7707 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 I was allowed to purchase a laptop up to € 1500 at work from Dell and I chose a Dell Latitude E6500 with 4gb ram, 2.53ghz core2duo and a whopping 128gb SSD (which costs like 1/3 of the laptop oO, not that I'm paying for it but still). It *should* make Visual studio go superspeedy, I'll let something know once I receive it (my current laptop at work has a high 'Compiling' xkcd value) Quote
»jabjabjab Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 I just got a cheap acer notebook for 400 dollars (after tax) and it's 3x as powerful as the pc i have now xD Quote
»Blocks Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) This Asus is pretty badass as a working laptop. It's $750 and claims 12 hours battery life. I'm tech-lusting for it and I might buy it ... I already have a Asus netbook though. The netbook claims 9.5 hours battery life and I get about 8.5 using the WiFi, so it's not bad at all.

It has a 15.6" screen, among other features. Quote
»LtNirvana Posted October 4, 2009 Report Posted October 4, 2009 If you're looking for brand I personally trust ASUS and Toshiba. HP is good too but more mainstream. The others load the laptops up with a bunch of shit software and fill em with lowgrade hardware. Quote
Dav Posted October 4, 2009 Report Posted October 4, 2009 HP are expensive but quality bits of kit. Acer seem to offer good value for money for the home user, not sure about their reliability though as I have not has experience with them. Quote
