I need a new laptop and I have no idea which brand to get
    #18872573 - 09/21/13 02:52 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

I need a computer guy to help me.

I want:

- Largescreen (17inch if possible, the bigger the better)
- Something that will run small games very well and that will run bigger game with average graphics
- I don't give a shit about size and weight
- If it can become a tablet it would be cool but I don't really care
- The brand itself.. does it matter anymore?
- Average sound/video system (enough to watch online TV and movies)
- Under 1500$ after tax and all the necessary upgrades. So 1000$
- Not Apple
- Needs to last minimum 5 years.
- Don't care about battery life, I'll fuck it up anyway, I'll never unplug it
- 200 gigs minimum
- The rest is up for you competent guys to determine

There are so many fucking brand and types and categories and shit... I have no idea what I'm doing guys...

I really need help, my laptop gave me a scare this morning telling me it could locate a hard drive... Very bad sign. Also, I take any tips on how to save cash getting said laptop.

You can GET all of that for under $500

This.  Unless you really need the portability a desktop is waaay better.

They're also cheaper relative to the shit you get. You'll have well over 200 gigs, multiple screen size options, run games better (or the same for less), etc.

You (Patial) said you'll keep it plugged in the whole time. If that's the case you really should get a desktop unless you need to bring it places with you. Every now and then I wish I had a laptop, but on the whole I'm much happier that I opted to get a desktop this go 'round instead of getting another laptop.

I have both myself.  A high end desktop, and a MacBook Air for when I'm on the road. It's the perfect combination IMO.

Yeah, if I'm ever in a position financially that I can afford to have both I will probably go the same route. Given the option though it's desktop hands down for me. I realized I never NEEDED to take my laptop anywhere. Most of the time I was just moving it from my bedroom to my living room anyway (and iMac portability is fucking perfect for that anyway).

Get an Alienware M17x R3 or later.

It will be the best $900-$1000 you spend in the next 5 years, and it will realistically last you that long too (trust me, if you aim low, you may enjoy your small games and other games with average graphics, but it won't be long before you can't run most games period; meanwhile, I have a friend whose Alienware is 6 years old and still runs Anything... he just upgraded it to so now it runs ANYTHING and on high settings :awesomenod:).


I've had over 20 laptops in my life, including Dells, Lenovos, a Hitachi, Alienwares, Toshiba, Acer, Asus...

They're good shit.


And since screens are virtually never worth upgrading, MAKE SURE YOU GET A DECENT RESOLUTION SCREEN or you'll miss the screen real estate.

For 17 inches, don't settle for less than 1600x900 and 1920x1200 would afford you even more real estate, but you could game at 1600x900 at higher settings and at the native resolution for (potentially a LOT) longer.


Alienware might not sounds like a good option, but they're fucking stellar. For everything.

You're 23 and have owned over 20 laptops?


Anyway,

Yeah I have :shrug:. It's probably in excess of 30 laptops, honestly. Definitely over 20 laptops and I have 4 right now in my room (if we count laptops my family owns, we've got at least 7 not counting dinosaurs we stored away).

My current stash is two Lenovo x120e's, a Dell M5030, and an Alienware M17x R3. I guess technically I have an EEEPC too. Beowulf Cluster, anyone? :datass:  (One of the x120e's has a cracked LCD though).

Some of my favorites were the Macbook Airs I owned (never an 11 incher though :sad:), my Asus G73 (thing had a 5870 in it and looked like a jet engine), my Alienware M11x (enjoy it, section 8 black community who thought they needed it more than me... :feelsbadman:, it's not like I paid $600 for it), and frankly both x120e's I've owned are rivaled only by my current Alienware.

I've also had, Mac-wise (beyond the 2 MacBook airs I've had and used, albeit briefly because they're weak-ish), 2 15 inch macbook pros, a 13 inch macbook pro, and a 17 inch macbook pro. The lattermost of these was a fucking champ and I loved it, but ultimately I think I prefer PC.


Also, ever heard of something called "flipping"? :douchewink: This is the same reason I've owned over a dozen projectors. There are currently 4 projectors in my house, 3 of them mine but one doesn't work (and the one that's not mine was a gift I bought for my dad).

Now were getting somewhere. All the other guys couldn't get their heads around the fact that I want laptop and not a desktop.

I saw some alienware stuff. The reviews were mostly positive (4.5/5). But they start at 1499$ which is way too high for me. Is the Alienware 14 good too or is it too weak to last? They start a 1199, which is more in my range

Screen size really matter to me, I hate small screens.

I'm sure we can get our head around it. I asked a question, and now you have answered. Just pointing out another option.

Next time I won't try and help though. My bad.

Don't get an Alienware, they're overpriced as fuck.

Yeah, they seem to be a lot more expensive. Sorry If I seemed disrespectful.

Do you have another laptop in mind though?
