QUOTE(Kivaa @ Mar 4 2014, 08:18 PM) Nowadays all new laptop comes preloaded with win8. Got 8.1 ? If u want 7 u have to install urself but make sure got driver for the laptop first if not gg haha  Among those two picks depends on what u want to do with it. Gaming go for asus (nvidia graphics win amd in the long run). Work intensive dell 15r (better proc)  nVidia better than AMD ?  or just that particular GPU? IIRC some games better on AMD some on the green team This post has been edited by 5p3ak: Mar 4 2014, 08:28 PM |

I'm back, but this time is with a twist. My budget is not fixed anymore, it's the lower the price the better.
1. Preferred Brand: Any brand that is reliable and have good customer service/after sales support/warranty. This is very important! 2. Budget: Lower the better. 3. Usage: Student usage, word processing, presentation, watching videos, skype, internet browsing 4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" 5. Other requirements: Again, I need it to be reliable and lasting. Need to test before using mainly the keyboard and touchpad to see if it feels right. Also I need a Windows based laptop. Are laptops with i3-3217U any good ? IGP will do since not gaming, I've a desktop for that anyway  This post has been edited by 5p3ak: Mar 17 2014, 09:18 PM |
