Hardware Hangout

Linkhero · 02-19-2008, 09:06 PM

I want a decent Notebook Computer, but my budget is $700. I've tried looking for decent ones with 2GB Memory and at least 120 GB HDD. I don't want anything below Intel Duo Core either. I remember seeing Notebooks for cheap but now I can't seem to find any. Help me cheatingnetwork! :heresyoursign:

My problem with those are most of them that are around $700 use Centrino or AMD Turion. I'm looking for something better than that.

Frowns · 02-19-2008, 09:33 PM

are you looking for intel or amd processors?

edit. sorry posted at the same as your recent post.
but amd has good processors too depending on what your gonna use your computer for?
and they will bring down the price point

That one looks good, but it has AMD; other than that it's a great laptop

Frowns · 02-19-2008, 09:40 PM

amd is better is your gonna be doing gaming or something like that the system has a shorter...im not sure what its called but...output tunnel thing making it faster. while intel's is longer intel keeps the things more organized but cant pump it out as fast as the amd with similar GHz.

that and i belive but not to sure that amd is easier to over clock altho my intel core solo is overclocked from 1.87Ghz to 2.6Ghz. not anymore tho just wanted to test it

I'm actually tempted to get it but the tax for it kills me

If you can add $50 my Costsco had an hp one much like that. With AMD dual core 64 bit if your ok with that. I dont see it online so check if the store has it.

krackhead · 02-19-2008, 11:36 PM

Linkhero · 02-20-2008, 12:12 AM

The thing about Dell is that I have two DELL PC's already. I'd rather try something new. Thanks anyways guys.

krackhead · 02-20-2008, 12:18 AM

Go for HP they look good and are pretty cheap. If not custom built is cheap too.
