New Computer ?

[Jack Daniels]

do you repair computers?

I work on the computers that I have at home.  But, at work, I manage inventory/shipping/receiving.  I work for a worldwide electronics retailer that sells and services computers.

For a laptop ?

Oops, disregard my post, then.

BUMP

So ? Gateway is my best bet ?

(I'm going to buy something real soon since my comp fails even moar)

I seek something with a decent graphics card, not less than 2Ghz processor, 1 or 2 MB RAM and that's pretty much everything. Don't need a beast, but don't want less than i have already.

this is what you need for your computer

Stop being childish, i'm not going to spend hundreds of additional euros for just a game.

[JoeBlo]

SC2 is hardly a very demanding game for Hardware,

If you're still wondering about Acers, I've had my Aspire 2920 Laptop for almost three years or so now, and aside from the hard drive losing magnetism a few months ago (they told me it was just being overused a little bit, and it was a good excuse to get Windows 7), everything still seems to be working fine. 2 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM, graphics card seems fine to me, but if you want to upgrade it, then you probably could. Plastic skin seems slightly loose on one corner, but that's more or less just aesthetics, and the specs are pretty much good enough for what I tend to use it for. I can get around three or four applications going at once (IE8, Paint.NET, GP5, WMP, mostly) without any significant lag. And it should hold together provided that you look after it properly, carrying it around, storage and such.

Acers are pretty good laptops.

The best, in my opinion, are Toshibas.  They're a bit on the expensive side, though.

[Naryar]

Ok, so i searched a few and Gateway NS50 is looking good.

It has good specs for a rather low price (well, "low" compared to how much i bought my macbook :P)

[Naryar]

I might take a toshiba finally. They seem to have a good reputation in quality.

[Thyrus]

reputation +3?

[Naryar]

reputation +3?

Not THIS reputation, you fool ! Reputation as in fame, as in... GAH ! It's the same word in french ! STOP TRYING TO CONFUSE ME !

[Thyrus]

TROLL'D

my friend ;D

[Naryar]

TROLL'D

my friend ;D

Sigh. Why cannot I have an on-topic (GODDAMNIT THYRUS YOU CONFUSED ME SO MUCH I WAS GOING TO WRITE OFF-TOPIC RATHER THAN ON-TOPIC) clear, simple, INTELLIGENT answer when I ask a simple question ?

[Thyrus]

you should ask in a thread that you can moderate. Then you could bann me from that :D
and NEVER EVER expect an intelligent answer from me! NEVER! (CAPSLOCK DAY!)
ok... sometimes maybe...
Buy that Toshiba if you like or wait til someone gives you a better advise :P

MANY thanks, i WILL be SURE to REMEMBER this most WISE PIECE OF information.

]Buy that Toshiba if you like or wait til someone gives you a better advise :P[/size]

I have LURKED enough ON THE internet, I will BUY A toshiba.

[Naryar]

OK, i've bought on the internets a Toshiba Satellite L630-10r. Four years guaranteed at roughly 900 euros.

Should come soon (tomorrow or in 2 days) by mail :P

[JoeBlo]

those Toshiba Satellite's are good from what I know... my sister has had one for 4 years no problems mechanically (I say that because it has vista :P)

[Naryar]

Yes, from what i see on the web Toshiba has a good reputation for quality computers.

4 GB of RAM is gonna help :P And i'm probably never going to fill the 500 GB's of HD XD

And i have something less sh**ty than an Intel GMA.

That was a riddle... you failed :O :P

Hope the new one works as you want it to :)
