Title: Good New Laptop?
Post by: Enigm@ on March 17, 2011, 10:45:10 AM: I was wondering if the Alienware M11x was a good gaming laptop... I've been saving up money for awhile, and my current laptop sucks and isn't much of a gaming one... so is it a good choice?
yes/no?

Get an Asus, Toshiba or Lenovo.

Do they not have laptop parts?
Bah, that's OK I guess. I can just buy one that's in a $600ish price range...

I'm sorry if I sound like a total n00b. :P
I guess buying a new laptop's the only way then, eh?
I was looking at Asus laptops, and they're pretty nice a must say.

Never buy a Toshiba laptop WITHOUT LOADS OF MEMORY
Mines fine apart from THE STUPID MEMORY
Battery life messes up a bit but oh well

Post by: Serge on March 20, 2011, 04:31:11 AM: The new Toshibas are quite good, I don't know why you say that... Plus, I've had an old Satellite for about 7 years now, never had any problem with it hardware-wise.

Thats because mines old now that i look at it

Post by: CPA23 on March 20, 2011, 08:50:48 PM: I say that because I had a Toshiba a few years ago and it broke roughly every 3 months, had terrible battery life and next to no memory.

But I don't know anything about the new ones.

Currently on an Acer Aspire 5542G: that meets all my requirements, reliable too! :bigsmile:
