AndyB Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 It rather depends on which part of the planet you live on. My crystal ball's broken. http://www.walmartstores.com/GlobalWMStoresWeb/navigate.do?catg=371 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roopurt18 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I have a Dell laptop that my work provided for me which runs fine. For my home desktops I always custom build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcdarkmage Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 www.alienware.com one of MY favorites for custom building laptops and computers. It also depends on what you want the laptop to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roopurt18 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I've never owned or used an alienware, but the consensus from others I know who custom build is "overpriced garbage." Usually this is made in reference to desktop systems. I don't know a single person that's ever built their own laptop, it just doesn't seem to be worth the effort. If you wanted a gaming laptop, and I'm really not sure why anyone would, I guess alienware may be a viable option. where do you guys recommend me to buy computers good ones with good technology? All computers use the same technology; what separates them is the quality of the parts that manufacturers put into them. That $300 desktop system in Best Buy or Frys is an intel chip and a Windows License packaged into the cost, so you know the rest of the parts are pure crap. Since your target is a laptop, I'd go with well-known manufacturer. I have a Dell provided by my work and it works very well. Granted all I do is program, use instant messaging, check e-mail, and occasionally visit you-tube. I've also heard good things about Toshiba laptops and to some extent gateway. I don't know if either of these companies make laptops, but you want to avoid compaq and lexmark at all costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcdarkmage Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 As they say, it's all about personal taste. I custom made my laptop from Alienware for performance, not gaming. But it doesn't hurt being able to play Half-Life or other games like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherBear Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 thanks everyone for the replies well I need a powerful, fast and good performance PC I want it for music recording and fast software download, I bought a few months ago an acer aspire and it worked great, bought it on wal mart but I returned it because I made a mistake anyhow, I'm willing to spend up to 2,000 dollars but for that price I want a good one ya know I live in the U.S. in Arizona the problem is that I live on a small town where there aren't many options to choose from, so I prefer to buy online and my question is where? there are loads of places that sell PC's but some of 'em sell pure crap or low budget desktops and laptops that won't work for me thanks again I'll try the ones u guys suggested BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I always recommend Sager Notebooks for big budgets like that. I've had the pleasure of working with a few dozen of them, and they're top-notch machines all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherBear Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 thanks for the link neylitalo & hcdarkmage I must say both alienware and sager are very good, though I liked sager 'cause I customize one I liked u know for fun and I got all I wanted for 1,600 dollars and on alienware for almost 2,000 I got the same anyhow they are fantastic , what I liked most is that u can customize the laptop, but I have one more question are sager and alienware trustable brands to buy from? u know 'cause everyone buys acer and hp , toshiba, and all o' that BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I have one more question are sager and alienware trustable brands to buy from? I've personally overseen the purchase of a few dozen (25, to be exact) Sager machines, and they've all gone off without a hitch. We did a trial run of five machines, just to see what they were like, and then ordered the rest after they surpassed our expectations. They ran cool, had awesome displays, and the users had no trouble with the keyboards and touchpads. (The primary trouble areas in notebook machines.) I would buy from Sager without a second's hesitation. And while I don't have any experience with Alienware computers, they're very well known and reputable, so I figure they must be doing something right. And since they are now a subsidiary of Dell, I would think that they could be trusted completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
