New Laptop


Jeff L

Recommended Posts

My wife has taken over my laptop because hers took a dump so I'm in the market for a new one. Don't need anything fancy as I would just be using it to surf the web and do homework. Has anyone bought one recently in the $500 range that they have been happy with?

Thanks! :)

If you want faster surfing/processing and don't need hundreds upon hundreds of HDD storage or a standalone GPU to watch 1080p coded video, then I suggest this

I've always disliked Dell, but that's just for desktops. They're pretty good when it comes to laptops, plus it has a pretty powerful Intel dualcore for the price. The 3 gigs of RAM is fine if you aren't gaming with the latest games on High Quality.

If you want a lot of storage space and an integrated GPU that isn't Intel while skimping on the processor, then get '

Honestly though, I suggest the first one, the Dell. Intel absolutely destroys AMD when it comes to making processors these days, and having a shitty processor can bottleneck your GPU, no matter how nice it is.

Why would you buy an insanely marked up laptop with an inferior OS?

Overpriced? Maybe, depends on what you are using it for. Inferior os? Lol.

I just bought an i5 lenovo ideapad with 6 gigs of memory and a decent video card for 6ish... I think it ended up being in $620. Seems like a pretty nice machine but ive only had it for 1 day.

I'm getting ready to trash my entire desktop set up in favor of a Lenovo w/docking station and dual monitors. I have this set up at work and life is easy with 2 gigantic widescreen monitors and I can take the laptop anywhere, leaving keyboard and mouse behind...

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
