How does his Gaming laptop still compare to modern day Gaming Laptops?

best gaming laptops compare image

Isaac

Well, I am looking at a used DELL XPS 1710 which I know several years ago was top of the line for gaming laptops. This particular one is decked out with the Intel core 2 Extreme and 8800m GTX's in SLi. How well will this still perform in modern day? Does this still run DX10 or 11? Thanks!
I am sorry I meant DELL XPS 1730

Answer
Now-a-days Core 2 Extreme is outdated, however it will perform fine for regular use,you know, for watching movies,etc. As far as Gaming is concerned, it will play some old games fine. With new games, it can do well with some lower settings.

Is the Sager 2096 a good laptop compared to others?

Chris

Compared to a sony vaio it is better and a bit more expensive but compared to an alienware it is much cheaper but does what I want. Is the Sager a good reliable laptop compared to others if I wanted to use it for some minimal gaming and microsoft word?

Answer
You can't go wrong and I personally recommend Dell! There are hidden long-run costs that one does not initially see when you purchase a Notebook PC other than Dell, HP or IBM and later encounter difficulties or attempt buying replacement parts like a battery, or say a keyboard etc.

Also if you're buying for college then I do NOT recommend a Notebook PC bigger than 15.4" bec we have 3 DELLs incl a larger 17" Notebook PC and the larger ones are nice but much too heavy to lug around campus as well as too big for lecture hall desks in college...

I mentioned we own 3 Dell Notebook PCs and why I recommend DELL, HP or IBM for those living in the United States is that those 3 particular PC Notebook manufacturers literally supply all the business Notebook PCs to the major corporations and Government so replacement parts are readily available esp on EBAY at even a more reasonable price than the manufacturer website. Thus in the long run, being able to get the exact replacement part extends the life on your investment.

FYI my 1st Notebook PC was Gateway bec I couldn't afford Dell at the time and what a mistake is was when I needed to purchase a new Notebook battery <= costly bec not readily available like Dells... and FYI I also ran into a similar problem when attempting to upgrade the memory.

Note if you are looking for DELL bargains, then visit their DELL OUTLET site...

What are some good and cheap gaming laptops?

best gaming laptops under 500 image

12motor

Any good gaming laptop that is under 500$? Please, if you can, list as many as you want/can with links. Thank you.

Answer
Hi there, like almost everyone else you start at the wrong end of things. You want a gaming machine, but I bet you have no idea what is the minimum power you need to run the games you want to run. So first get the info on the games you want, that will tell you the minimum configuration you can use to run that game.
Then you start looking for machines that have that minimum power or more. So, to get any help at all you are going to have to do a little work. Find the configuration you need to have. Then simply either go to the web sites of the computers and look or do a little shopping, see what is out there. Sure you can come here and ask, but so far I don't see that you received much of any help other than 500 is probably not enough.
Good luck and do your home work.

Im looking to get laptop but need help with specifications?

Sega

I want windows 7/XP/Vista and although not a gaming laptop (because of price) I want it to be fast enough to play flash games and unity player and play cpu games such as the tycoon series (nothing too intense with graphics though) I wont have too many programs installed on it mabye just the basics like acrobat and a few other miscellaneous programs. I tend to have more than one program open and hope speed wont be affected as much. as usual i want cpu and internet to run smoothly.

Price range for me is at most 500 although if there are gaming laptops under 500 then that would be better.

Under these conditions. what cpu specifications should I follow?

Answer
Try the HP DV7 series they have Intel Core I5 or I7 some of them have Blu-Ray and they have large memory capacities.

Should I buy an Alienware or MSI for a good gaming laptop?

Edward

My nephew has always wanted a gaming laptop since age 7(now he's 12) and I think he is old enough to responsibly own one. He knows about all the technical parts like the processor,motherboard, and a lot of other stuff I don't know! He has been good all year so for his birthday I am going to surprise him with a brand new top notch gaming laptop! I have no price limit as long as it's reasonable ($7000 at the most). Best answer gets 5 stars. Thanks.

Answer
Alienware has recently been bought by dell and is still a top notch company but not the best really.

In my personal opinon of researching for a gaming laptop i would go with a Razer Blade.

http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems

They are a great company and still way under your budget, only thing i know better is building your own but for a laptop it is challanging and complicated.

Razer also will make do for a dramatic unvail due to design. Many unboxing videos and reviews on the product. The laptop has a very cool feature with the touch pad.

All in all any true gaming laptop will have phenomenal performance.

PC configuration for Animation!?

best gaming laptops under 50k image

AK

Hey pplz, I'm planning to get a new comp for my animation studies that I'm undergoing! Ll be much happy , if I get able to know your choice of configuration and along with the brand(if possible, jus add up). My first preference in HP n budget is approx btwn 35 - 50k! So pls tell me the configuration! DESKTOP computer, not Laptop!

Thanks in advance cuties! ;)
35- 50K in Rupees n, help me na! Pls

Answer
I would assume Animations is much like CAD. If so, your needing a setup with alot of CPU and a ton of memory. But your also gonna need a nVidia QUADRO.

QUADRO is their professional 3D cards designed for things like CAD. Unlike the simple line of cards we generally purchase for 3D Gaming.

You may want to look at a 2 CPU server type board. Know what Operating systems your Animation software can run under.

Now, this is pure specualtion on my part, since I am a PC man, but I heard these newer MACs can do this better. So more research may be needed. Problem with a MAC is your limited on parts and service, and you pay a chunch for the unit and then another chunk for parts and service and it is not generally locally.

If you do build a computer using the QUADRO card, do not expect it to be a gaming rig. It has more power than a gaming rig, but is setup differently due to it functional use.

Whats the cheapest gaming laptop i can buy for eve online?

SVC

I'm looking for a cheap gaming laptop. I know there's probably not one cause I've searched for them. But what's the cheapest one I can buy for eve online. It only needs to last for about a year. Thanks =]

Answer
Actually, you are in luck. Up until 3 weeks ago a half way decent laptop for gaming would set you back at least $800, but AMD just released their new processor line based on the Llano platform. They are called the A series processor. Like the Intel Sandy Bridge core i series, they have the ability to change their clock speed to match whatever task you are performing and they have integrated graphics built right into the cpu, but unlike the core i series, the A series has much superior graphics capabilities. It can run most of even the highest demanding games to at least their medium graphic settings all without a graphics card. You can't do that with the Intel chips. Here are a few models to take a look at:

What is a good laptop to buy right now that would be able to play most pc games?

best gaming laptops under 300 image

Juriah's R

I am just now looking into pc gaming and I wanted to know what laptop specs I should look for so that I can play most pc games. I would be looking to play popular console games, nothing too complicated.

I would also like to know if pc gaming would deliver the same quality of gaming as consoles. Do pc games lag or have any notable limitations or setbacks? Would any laptops under $600 or $500 suffice for good & reliable pc gaming?

Answer
A REALLY good laptop could be a Sony VPCEG27FM Notebook PC! it's really good and it's about 300 or 200 dollars.It can support over 300 games

What is an at least acceptable laptop under 100$?

Ashley

It does not need to be insane or anything i just want a laptop that I can write documents and work stuff. I will also settle for a used laptop but just give me a name of a laptop at least under 300$ and I will check on amazon, eBay, Craig's list, etc for a used one of the laptops that you named.

Most reliable laptop brands: the results

Apple tops the list, as might be expected from such a premium PC builder. Apple products are far from cheap, but they do offer a quality experience. Runner up Dell has a very different business model. It, like other high-ranking brands HP and Asus, operates as a volume laptop maker, selling many thousands of laptops every week. We would expect to see them, and Lenovo, high up in our list because they sell so many PCs: but their higher ranking suggests a lot of satisfied customers.

Apple: 19%
Dell: 12%
Asus: 11%
HP: 11%
Acer: 9%
Lenovo: 9%
Toshiba: 9%
Samsung: 7%
Sony: 6%
Alienware: 3%
Fujitsu: 1%
MSI: 1%
Panasonic: 1%
I do not agree with this. But this was the results of a large survey...

How do I increase battery life in Linux?

CamTheSaxM

I have an Acer Aspire 5920 laptop with Linux Mint 15 Xfce 64-bit. And my battery life sucks. When it ran Windows Vista, I remember getting a good 3-4 hours of battery life, even when watching movies or playing games. Vista died, so I installed Linux Mint. Now, my battery life is only 2-2.5 hours. And that's when it's just sitting idle. My fan runs at high speed all the time and it sounds like an aircraft taking off when I boot up the computer. The cpu temperature hovers somewhere around 37 degrees Celcius, which I believe is typical for a laptop. I don't know if these problems are a driver issue or what, but it's pretty pathetic. The laptop's hardware specs can be found here: http://www.cnet.com/laptops/acer-aspire-5920/4507-3121_7-32461074.html

Is the Inspiron 15r by Dell a good laptop?

best gaming laptop deals 2012 image

Michael

Now my high school recommends that students should have laptops. So what i'm looking for is a laptop good for academics, social networking, and media. I've been doing research and it seems that this laptop meets those basic needs. If your a computer wiz or have owned this before, PLEASE tell me what you think :)

Answer
I have to agree with both points from the previous answers, Dell has a very bad track record with everything customer support realated (including failing to uphold their warranty)

Their laptops are also slightly not up to date, as in, you can get superior performance and durability from a cheaper laptop, mainly from Acer, HP samsung ASUS and Toshiba.

I highly advise you look for the A-Type AMD laptops, their basically like a CPU combined with 2 powerful GPU's, dirt cheep quad core dual GPU laptops, I think less then 1 month fresh technology hitting the markets right now.
the prices are skyrocketing up, but im sure you can find an A6 out there NEW for under 450 if you shop around

there are also Really nice new things out there, like a little netbook that turns into a pad from ASUS, I believe this is the unit where the first of the Tegra 3 chips where introduced to the public in 2012, tegra is a very big deal by the way.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230218&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-NA-_-NA
and its out of stock as we speak, need I say more?

another posible example you might be interested in, is an ultra light ultra low voltage laptop, its not the most powerful, but the battery will be more then ample, IBM is super professional durability and quality, also its powerful enough for everyday schoolwork and moderate graphics design/gaming due to an extremely efficient, very desirable ATi graphics chip built inside.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834246115
this laptop series is also, quite legendary amongst people who travel, this is something im considering as a replacement for my LENOVO U350 which is about to turn 3 years old, I do my research well, I suggest you look at the IBM X120 as a serious option.

I would probably avoid Intel graphics, if you are planning on doing any kind of graphics design or gaming.

Relatively inexpensive gaming laptop?

Xquardoff

I'm going to college in the fall, but I'll need a computer. I want to be able to game really well, but won't be able to lug a desktop all over the place. I'm looking for something decently priced, but I don't care about size or weight, so long as it is smaller than a desktop tower. What amazing gaming laptops would you recommend?

Answer
innexpensive/amazing gaming laptop + 2012 USA economy = nearly impossible

innexpensive/decent gaming laptop = 2012 USA economy = doable

Try looking at your local stores, best buy has some really great deals sometimes, if you catch it at the right time, it might even be under 500-600 bucks.

Dell/Toshiba (if you have the money, alienware) but one of the main things with gaming computers are RAM and Graghics card. If you want a good laptop look for one with atleast 2-4 GB of RAM and a RADEON 6000 series or up or a GFORCE 400 series and up. Find a computer with those specs for the right price and youll be set for college, beer, books, and call of duty is the life if you think about it. (dont forget the hot chicks)

What gaming laptop should I get to play any game maxed out at 1080p @40+fps? Price don't matter?

best gaming laptops for 1500 image

Golden

Hi, I am planning to get a decent gaming laptop which will play all the latest games maxed out above 30 or 40 fps but I don't know which one to get. Pls suggest

Answer
If price does not matter than go for ASUS G75VX-TS72 which has the price of $1500. It has good features and also designed specially for gaming as well. So you can go for it if you want to play every type of game.

It has really good features which include:

Intel CoreTM i7-3630QM Quad Core Processor (6M Cache, 2.40GHz - 3.40 GHz) 45W which is really powerful and efficient. It has Operating System of Windows 8 x64. It has Optical Drive of Blu-Ray Player SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-R/RW Dual Layer. It has RAM of 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz and Hard Drive of 750GB 7200rpm which is really huge storage. So overall it is really good and efficient laptop which is perfect for gaming.

For further details I would like you to see the comment from an actual user which will explain that how it actually performs:

What is the best gaming laptop for around $1500? Also what is the best screen size?

rstijerina

I am looking for a good gaming laptop and I was also wondering what would be the best screen size. Also, i was wondering what external/portable hard drive i should get (if any).

Answer
Depends on what kind of games you're going to play. Most laptops come with the newest series of GPUs from Nvidia or ATi and with 2GB of RAM, you should be able to play most games. For $1500, you're not gonna get too much gaming power, try to see what you can get from AlienWare if you're a serious gamer. PCs deliver more performance though, because the GPUs on laptops are designed to be smaller and consume less power, so it has lower quality than a full blown PCI-E card.

Whats my best choice in laptop?

best gaming laptops january 2011 image

Alucard

I have a budget of £800 Im looking for a new laptop. I want it solely for gaming, skyping and for the internet. Unfortunately I know nothing of hardware so I don't know what Im looking for. I currently have an Acer with about a 17inch screen and a large keyboard to match. I would prefer large for both and I would also prefer a webcam and mic built in but if not then I can buy them elsewhere. If any more information is needed then I will do all I can to provide. Im just tired of my old laptop struggling to run minecraft and being unable to run pretty much any new game and overheating with youtube if I don't hold it the right way.
The problem is that I have to buy a UK version otherwise it wont have coverage and there will be problems with repairs and compatibility. I cant find a HP Envy but I can find HP Pavilion. The only Envy I could find was http://www.amazon.co.uk/dv7-7201sa-17-3-inch-Notebook-Processor-Integrated/dp/B009YY80P0/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356006906&sr=8-1-fkmr0

Other than that I found a couple of things close to your recommendation:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-NP355V5C-SuperMulti-Graphics-Premioum/dp/B008EJGJHC/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1356007095&sr=8-13

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pavilion-dv7-6c01ea-Quad-Core-A6-3430MX-Processor/dp/B006W7B2WA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1356007095&sr=8-3

Am I getting close? I think Im willing to go up to £1000ish but Id prefer to stick to £800

The annual PCWORLD Survey last result was December 2011, and Dell and HP did not fare well.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/244419/laptop_reliability_and_satisfaction_macbooks_rule.html
And, Specials seem to end today at Dell unless extended, but, the best specifications I could find for you is with Dell Inspiron 17R SE at Dell.com
http://www.dell.com/uk/p/configuration-compare.aspx?ocs=n0017s51,n0017s15,n0017s08,n0017s46&returnURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dell.com%2Fuk%2Fp%2Flaptops%23!facets%3D93410~0~1450395%26p%3D1%26results%3D30

The lowest at .£699 is a core i5 ivy bridge, and the other 3 are core i7 3630QM
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php
Passmark 3836 vs 7616 CPU power performance
In base specifications, the 749 priced one showing an extra 50 off seems to be the same or better than the two more expensive.
http://www.dell.com/uk/p/inspiron-17r-se-7720/pd?oc=n0017s15&model_id=inspiron-17r-se-7720#TechSpec
There are a few options available.
Pricing may be different tomorrow, but this appears to be the best today and is in budget.
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html
GT 650M gaming can be looked up. The 1080p screen may slow the frame rate for low-medium-high, but I cannot find a better GPU/CPU combo at under £800

The HPs in the price range are not even close. Lenovo Y series is 15.6" not full HD
This Samsung is a better brand and costs a bit more:
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/samsung-series-5-550p-17-3-laptop-silver-17563638-pdt.html
It is x900 resolution instead of x1080.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M on first you show is garbage compared with GT 650M
cheaper Samsung NP355V5C 7670M is similar to GT 630M, has a weaker A10-4600M CPU at 3158 score, is not full high def, is 15.6" where I thought you want a 17.3"
HP Pavilion dv7-6c01ea has a dismally slow CPU compared to everything else presented so far, and is still only HD 7670M.
At your price point, you want GT 650M, and only Dell and Lenovo show that so far, and dell is 17.3" full High def at under 800.

USA prices are irrelevent. There is no VAT here and instead prices without local sales tax of up to 8%. The competition is also higher here, so pricing is lower. Totally a waste to look at USA prices.
The 739 pound Dell ordered today is the way to go (prices go up or down later) or pay more for a Samsung of lower specs. Unless you find another GT 650M or higher graphics.
Samsung at Amazon UK is available:
15.6" Core i5 with the GT 650M in x768 lower def screen:
£705 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-15-6-inch-Graphics-Windows-Premium/dp/B008S7LCIQ/

Beautiful Gigabyte system is out of stock at about £900 due late january
http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Gigabyte_P2742G-CF1_Core_i7_Windows_8_Gaming_Laptop__9WP2742G2-GB-A-001/version.asp#maindesc
Specifications are here:
http://www.excaliberpc.com/622840/gigabyte-p2742g-cf1-17.3-gaming-laptop.html#TabSpecification
GTX 660M is even better than GT 650M. Also at Amazon UK out of stock.
FINAL:
Others at www.laptopsdirect.co.uk
You need to open details of each laptop with dedicated graphics from £500 - £1000
GTX 660M is better than GT 650M
17.3" appears to be more desireable to you than 15.6"
Higher definition screen better than lower.
Core i7's better than core i5's.
i7-3xxx and i5-3xxx better than i7-2xxx and i5-2xxx
Samsungs are there in stock with GT 650M

What computer technologies should I expect in 2012?

best gaming laptops of 2011 image

Borce

I want to buy a new gaming laptop for collage.I have this year an 1+ from high school and I am going to go in 2011-2012 in collage. I want a top gaming laptop of 3500-5500$
Will there be a new CPU, Graphic card, Ram that will be much faster then ?

Answer
This is sort of a pointless question.

Of course there will be new CPU's, new GPU's, faster and higher capacity RAM and hard drives. They are in a constant state of change, and new additions to each of those categories come out at least once a year, so you're looking at at least 2 generations better than what we have now.

But you might want to rethink your strategy, as a super powerful gaming laptop is not very portable and it's battery life will suck. And as a college student myself, you are going to want a laptop that you can take where ever you need, easily (both weight and size) and something that wont die in an hour. Come back to Yahoo Answers when you are ready to buy a gaming laptop, as any advice as to parts is pure speculation and will lead you astray.

Can you modify a gaming laptop the same way you can a desktop?

It's true

I know nothing about PC's, and I'm thinking about getting a gaming laptop as opposed to a desktop. Mainly because I can take it with me. That being said, can I modify it just as easily as I could a desktop? And are the parts more expensive?

Answer
It's no where near as easy to modify a laptop as compared to a desktop. But it is possible, albeit extremely limited. However, seeing as you know nothing about PCs I wouldn't recommend it anyway. RAM and Hard Drives are still very easy to upgrade in a laptop, somethings more-so than a desktop, but aside from that, it's a tricky business. If you're thinking about getting a laptop for gaming you'll need to get something that will stay current for a few years. I always recommend ASUS, simply because they make strong, reliable, and affordable machines. In fact, consider taking a look at ASUS's G75 series of gaming notebooks.

Whats the difference between an alienware laptop and an alienware pc?

best gaming laptops in the world image

kegman18

I'm thinking of buying a Alienware Aurora(PC) or an Alienware Mx15 (laptop). I have an Acer aspire but, its not enough. I'm a gamer and I need higher gaming performance. I play varies of PC games on my laptop but, its not a gaming laptop. I play World of Warcraft (Yeah its a little minty) and my laptop just doesnt do it.

Answer
Well, one's a laptop and the other's a desktop. For future reference, a laptop also qualifies as a "PC" (Personal Computer)... what you mean was a "desktop" vs a "laptop".

Anyway, a laptop's only advantage is that it's portable. For all other things (performance, upgradability, cost, customizability, etc) a desktop is better.

What is the best gaming laptop I can get for my price range?

Garrett

I want a new gaming laptop because mine is dying out. Currently it plays 45 average fps on low settings on world of Warcraft. I will be using this laptop mostly for WoW and would like it specced for gaming. I've looked at Asus and Sager but idk what to get. My price range is anywhere from 750-1200 dollars, please help me I would like to run 60+ fps on At least good or high settings for wow

Answer
$1200? Dude, you can cusomize an insane gaming laptop with HP for that kinda cash. I recommend at least an intel i5-i7 or at least 2ish GHz. If it's for gaming, you don't need too much memory, so id do 16 GB minimum. And don't really pay attention to sound system or if it's touchscreen, for gamers, that's just an extra feature that makes games weirder than normal.

What is the best gaming laptop available?

Zach B

I want an alienware, but I've recently heard that the latest alienwares are getting bad reviews. So what is the best gaming laptop on the market?

Answer
There is also Sager (Clevo) and OCZ, both manufacturers offer laptops among the fastest in the world (Google: Sager NP9262, Sager NP5796 (17", Single Video Card, Single Hard Drive, Dual Core), Sager M860TU (15", Single Video Card, Single Hard Drive, Dual (and maybe Mobile Quad soon) Core), Arima W840 DI / OCZ Whitebook (17", dual video cards, dual hard drives, dual and mobile quad core, Backlit Keyboard, upgrade to an old chassis that Alienware used once, can take ATi Crossfire).

Also, both of those manufacturers are cheaper by thousands of dollars against Alienware, Dell, Voodoo PC, etc... with a better build-quality and experience (Sager has been in the market since the middle 80's).

The fastest gaming laptop in the world is the Sager NP9262, the only Quad Core Laptop in the world (for now, but the only that can take Desktop Quad Cores, for a long time), it can take Dual 9800m GTX's on SLi Configuration (1 GB GDDR3, 112 Shader Processors), which is around 15 - 20% more powerful (single card) than the 8800m GTX (9800m GT) and faster than the 8800m GTX SLi too, it can take up to an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 at 3.0 GHz processor (it can take desktop processors with a TDP under 96W, such as the E6600 / E6670 / E8200 / E8400 Dual Core, and the Q6600 / Q6700 / Q9550 / Q9650 Quad Cores), up to triple 500 GB Hard Drives (5,400 RPM) or 320 GB Hard Drives (7,200 RPM) in RAID configuration (RAID 0, 1 and 5), it can go up to 4 GB at 800 MHz (PC2-6400) at RAM, or 8 GB (around 6 GB are available) at 667 MHz, not even the Alienware m17x is close to touching this beast.

The best Sager Resellers around are Xotic PC and PowerNotebooks, so you might want to drop by their websites to check the many options they have on Gaming Notebooks (Xotic PC carries the Arima W840 DI too, even though it is not a Sager Notebook), also, their customer service is awesome, and Xotic PC offers an extra 2 years on parts warranty with the Sager NP9262 and the NP5796.

You might also want to register at www.notebookreview.com and create a new thread (following the sticky thread guide) in the "What laptop should I buy?" topic, lots of people would be happy to help you choose what is the perfect laptop for you, within your budget also.

I am thinking of buying myself an Alienware laptop,but!!!?

best gaming laptops south africa image

OK, well I am wanting to buy the "alienware xm920", but you see I live in South Africa, if it gets delivered to South Africa, from the U.S.A will it be able to work in South Africa (we use EU adapters, and our systems runs on PAL & games) Will the alienware laptop still work in South Africa? If not, how do i change it?

Regards

Answer
I would assume that all your have to do is possibly get a "universal power adapter" set so that the plug will match the socket. Most laptops can use 100-240 volts, and 50/60hz. As far as the pal thing you will probably need to just set region that you are in using the region/language settings in control panel. But just to be sure I would get the 1-800 (toll free) number for Dell (they sell the alienware line) and ask before you spend that much money. I was in the US Navy and a lot of us used to take our laptops overseas with us. NOTE: I do know that in windows there was a "limited" number of times that you could change the region before it became a permanent thing and we bought our movies on base so that we didn't have to worry about the PAL format. However, with a "travel valet" power adapter so that we could plug them into the wall they ran fine. Anyway it is probably best to call dell and ask if the cd/dvd drives are different on their overseas models so that they can support PAL if they are then I am sure that they sell European versions of the computer they are an international seller so they must get this question often.

(laptop knowledgable people only) In your experience, are dell laptops made of good hardware?

best gaming laptop linux image

Sado

I plan to wipe the laptop and install Linux and Vista without all the dell software, so would dell hardware do well for light gaming, 3D graphics and word processing?

I mean, is there an advantage getting a Sony Vaio or a Toshiba over a Dell? From what i see they're including the same processors and graphic cards, and the RAM shouldn't really matter, right? Is there any clear reason why I should put a couple extra hundred dollars into a same speced laptop other than fashion?

Answer
If the system specs are equal, then don't spend the extra money. I like the Acer products and am impressed with the new Gateway we just got. Not at all happy with Toshiba. Dell is the most asked about system on this forum with problems. Even if processor, ram, etc are the same, the motherboard may be a different brand as well as the screen drivers. You will need the companies drivers from the component maker or system maker for the drivers in the MS operating system. There is no need to wipe Vista if on there because you can use it to make partitions and it comes with a dual boot loader. Will just need to load linux.

What is the recommended laptop for a soon to be freshman Civil engineering student?

Austin

Something around $1000 dollars would be preferable, and also I have ran into the dilemma on if I should get a laptop that's compatible with civil engineering programs, or just a basic laptop that most college students get because usually the college has computers with the programs on them.

Answer
It depends what school you are going to as far as providing computers, but I would look at delloutlet.com and pick up a mid-range gaming laptop with a decent screen, processor etc. The XPS models are pretty good. If you want to carry it around a lot you might look at the solid state drives since the hard drive will be the first thing to go if it is knocked around.

this will run any of the programs you might need, and you can wipe it or just run linux parrallel if that is something you want, plus civil engineers like to game so you can be a bit social and pwn newbs all night too. Save up for a key board, mouse, speakers and external harddrive as well for in your dorm/bedroom. Also I reccomend an HDMI out port so you can watch videos you download illegally on the TV in your room.
