What kind of laptop should I get?
    #19276741 - 12/14/13 09:54 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Just found out my current laptops hard drive is fried, so I'm shopping for a new one. I have a grand to spend give or take a hundred, maybe two. My Dad is really pushing Samsung for some reason, how are their laptops? All suggestions and advice welcome!


Thanks guys

Windows 8? I have an IPad and I really don't like it. I'm a Microsoft guy.

You can get a nice alienware for hair over $1000

The os really dont matter it's the guts that do  Just go down to your local "Big box store" and buy what ever suits your fancy . E.G Dells have pretty much the same components as HP , Samsung . acer ,etc

Yeah they are bit pricey but I did spend $1500 on a mac book pro.
best decision I made. I'm not computer savvy and all my prior computers acquired
viruses and so far my Mac has not. I know there's a lot of debate but Idc.

Aren't those gaming machines? Are they very practical for a college student? I want a pretty slim one in size, but I'll check them out online thanks. I didn't know you could get one for that cheap. I had figured Alienwares closer to $2000.

make sure to get one that is well suited for pornography and text documents as well as microsoft paint and calculator is also a major plus if you can swing it.

I took it to geek squad and they ran tests on it, said the hard drive broken. It won't even start up..

Which is weird because it was working fine the day before and I didn't drop it

I could have bought a nice laptop, but instead I bought a smart phone.  My old Athalon 64 1 core is still making it after 4 years, once it dies I will get a new slave laptop.

Er If it won't post it is in all likely the mobo or the memory cards and in a rare instance the power supply.

Yeah hard drives just die on their own sometimes. You could always just replace it if you weren't set on a whole new computer. SSD is a good choice over a conventional hard drive unless you really need lots of storage.

i was under the impression SSD dies faster than regular HDD's.  If your going to get an HDD, just make sure its at least 7200 RPM, not 5200 like some laptops.

I've only dealt with one Samsung laptop, I kind of hated it honestly.

I'd go for a convertible honestly(laptop/tablet), IMO they're the best, great battery life, pretty good specs, touchscreen, you can use it as a tablet as well as a laptop, etc... Very good for a college student.

Other than that I reccomend a higher end Dell, they're pretty good machines, and their customer service is great IMO, if anything breaks on it they send a technician out to your house to fix it.

I have heard that too, but speed wise SSD definitely wins. The choice depends a lot on your priorities of course.
