bford21 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Well I've think its about time I purchased a laptop but I want to make sure I get something that suits my needs. Hardware wise I am clueless so I need your help. I'm looking for something under $700 and brand doesn't mean much. I'll be dual-booting Linux and most likely what ever shitty version of windows comes pre-installed. I'll be using it for programming, Photoshop, web surfing, screen recording, actually gaming and all the other little things you associate with general everyday computer use. I also would like something with good battery life and isn't ridiculously loud. So far I like the following two. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834157533 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115984&cm_re=acer_laptop_i5-_-34-115-984-_-Product Links and advise would be much appreciated. I need your expertise! Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/229666-laptop-that-best-fits-me/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cssfreakie Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 well for 700 dollars, you are not going to be able to play awesome new games. since a video card is pretty expensive. Certainly for a laptop. Depending on your grafical needs the laptops you showed looked pretty okay. btw, why do you want a laptop. I hope you do know laptops are for more expensive than a desktops. If you want an awesome laptop (and won the lottery) alien-ware has some nice ones Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/229666-laptop-that-best-fits-me/#findComment-1184574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
