Recommend laptop please!

[Martoch]

Sup everyone!


Ok, in all honesty I don't know much about laptops...what's available, which brands are best, where to buy, etc...but one of my best buds asked me to recommend one for him, so of course I came to you guys to help me out.

He's going to use the laptops for all the essentials...e-mail, word, internet, blah blah blah...but he also wants to be able to game as well.

So whaddya think? Can you steer me in the right direction here? I'm clueless when it comes to the lappies...

Thanks!

proboly a dell or toshiba just dont get a centrino unless you really care about battery life and try to get 512 megs of ram

Dell Inspiron 8600........check it out on the dell website, www.dell.com. Havn't had any trouble with my laptop i purchased there, its running greast. I checked out Cnet when i was buying my laptop, they have up to date reviews and specs on most major laptops...would be a good idea to check them out.

good luck.

I've heard some good things about alienware, but they are kind of expensive....check them out @ www.alienware.com

If anybody has any comments about alienware, especially their 51m laptop, please let me know.....=) I just placed an order, but if that was a bad idea, just let me know b/c I can still cancel my order.....=)

whats your price range....cause if uve got a big budget then the Aleinware 51m laptop is excellent - especially for gaming if ur into that type of thing

[Whitehawk]

u made a good choice... the alienware 51m laptop is excellent and really fast - especially for gaming if thats what you are into

Honestly, I've been saving up for this laptop, so my price range is anywhere from $3500 - $5000. I really can't wait to get my laptop, but if you look up alienware on resellerratings.com, some people have been complaining about them, but I guess no company is perfect (that's why they have tech support and warranties, etc....=)

If I were you, I would check out an apple laptop. I have yet to find a better laptop...

[Dru419]

I've heard some good stuff about apple too, but i'm really not a big fan, but I'm definitely gonna take a peep at it....ThanX

Thanks guys, he's going with the Dell 8600...
