ohaider guys. I'm going to get a new laptop for Christmas around the £900-£1000 mark (with me chipping in ~£200 for it). I've currently been eyeing up the Asus N53, because I trust Asus as a company as I am a happy previous customer etc. etc.
Any thoughts?
-
obviously, you build your own.
-
I'm, 13 and I cba.
-
Wow, so expensive for what you get. (Well, I'm a desktop guy so I wouldn't really know)
-
I (or my dad) honestly don't have enough time these days to do that AT ALL.
Can we move away from self-builds, please?

Yeah, I made this thread so I get suggestions for what to get
-
The question is: Do you NEED a laptop?(i.e. Something portable) If not, get a desktop.

Yes. Definitely YES.
I move my compy around the house often do do stuff and always bring it on holiday overseas so I can check emails, weather etc. while I'm in the hotel room.
I know you can get better specs for money if you go desktop but something portable is a must.

idk what is good for laptops aslong as you don't get my laptop :P

Aha, thanks Jake. Are Alienware highly rated? Anyone have them? Would it be best to get the bog-standard M14x or kit out an M11x?
-
Alienwares are expensive as heck for what they are, but if you have the money then by all means get it.
-
Alienwares are totally the best unless you're a really casual businessman who doesn't play games. They're really fast and stable, and they look awesome as heck too
-
Ok, thanks. I've been saving my monies up for a few years to get something special, so why not get something like an Alienware? =D
Also, is the fact that Dell is an only-internet company matter too much? Is customer service still there?
I play a few games on mine so I think Alienwares fit me well
-
Customer service is average at Dell, though you might want to ask someone else as I've only had to speak with them once. It's really up to you though.
-
Right. I may see the guy at the local computery service shop thingy. He's been a friend of ours for a while =D
-
DP. Medion. High specs but I can only think that they have low quality. Plus the m14x is a no no. The amount of seller refurbs you get raises my eyebrow a bit.
-
Gotta back you up on the ASUS. Nice machines. I really like the build quality of them. Sold a few at our store over the past couple of years and have not had any customer complaints or problems at all. I always felt they were a bit pricey in comparison to some of the other brands, but it seems to be well worth it.
-
Point = taken. Thanks JD =D
-
Do you just want to play games on it?
What computer store do you go to?
-
1. I do everything on it. Schoolwork, games, you name it.
2. I have a life and don't go to computer stores regularly :trollface

Hey guys. This should be able to play Skyrim ok, shouldn't it?
-
Believe it or not, Skyrim does not need really high requirements, my laptop, that only have inboard graphics, could still play skyrim.
*c*
Yeah that should be fine
