What is the best affordable fast HP laptop of 2011. A good laptop that is fast with multiple windows and can support gaming, i love to game on my computers, i heard about the fingerprint scanner. maybe that would be nice, and im looking for 15.6 inch or more screen. good battery, other good features. Put all suggestions and reason why you suggest it in answers please. thanks!

Answer
This HP Envy 14 has a larger HDD and a slightly faster processor, the HDD is a lot slower (at 5400rpm instead of 7200rpm). This difference in HDD speed is worth going with the other laptop with a slightly smaller (640GB) but faster HDD and slightly slower processor.
But it has good Battery Life and performance is really Good

I have these games loaded onto my laptop and my game has been lagging horribly and I know that's do to lack of space on my computer, sometimes the game acts as if it wants to crash! Its highly annoying, and I was wondering if there was anything I could buy or do for my laptop to make it run faster or smoother OR just buy a desktop??? Your replies are greatly appreciated!

Answer
Well, game lagging has many causes, it could be your laptop is too weak, or space issues; posting your specs is vital when asking questions like this (particularly ram, cpu and gpu).

There are very few programs that will speed up your computer; I would really only recommend ccleaner, and avg/malwarebytes to check for viruses (Norton can be a big cause for slowdowns, its a resource hog) while the rest are usually viruses.

If you really want your computer to run at its ABSOLUTE BEST, reinstall windows (google it). If the performance is still horrible, then you should buy a desktop computer. If you are willing to learn how to build a desktop, which is really easy, a $400 dollar build would be more than enough for Sims 2. If not, you can look for one that is within your budget, but keep in mind prebuilt systems will be more expensive.

Buying advice

Apple makes a good quality laptop. The problem comes when it requires service or minor upgrades. It is near impossible to do anything with them. They even glue the battery and hard drive down so you can not change it. They solder the ram to the logic board so you can not increase it. They lock up most of the software so your stuck with what they approve.

Lenovo has serious stand behind their product problems. They bought IBM PC division and proceeded to drive the quality of the system into the ground. Their customer service is well below par. They even makes Dell customer service look good. The last and final thing to remember about them is they are a Chinese Government own company. It is up to you if you want to trust them.

Toshiba, Panasonic, Sony should be avoided because of their heavy modification of Windows and the drivers. If you remove some of the bloat they install, you can cripple the system.

Acer, Gateway, and eMachines should be avoided period. Low end system that are driving the race to the bottom.

Dell once made a good system and fell from grace. They are now struggling to regain their place in the market. Customer service is one of many problems with this company.

Alienware are glorified Dells and are more name then product. Priced extremely high for what you get. They do perform but you can get the same for less by looking around, just not packaged to be eye candy to the gamers.

Samsung has a history of using cheap parts in critical areas. Capacitors has been one area Samsung has a known history of going cheap, causing units to fail early. For that reason I would avoid them.

ASUS and HP do not modify Windows as bad as the other manufacturers. They have excellent build quality. They might add a lot of bloat but they also makes it easy to get rid of it.

Ultrabooks are the higher end of Wintel laptops but they have some of the same concerns as Apple. They make it next to impossible to change any hardware in them. Service of them will have to be done by the manufacturers. With most of them, you can not change your own battery or hard drive. They are designed to catch your eye but they are not any more special then other laptops except for the fact that they are slim or thin. Your paying for it being thin and slim. For the money your going to spend on it you can buy a much better laptop with more power.

Tablets are just toys to me. They can not handle the work load like Laptops and Desktops and do not have the storage capacity you will end up needing.

Hybrids are the worse of the worse. The flip or detachable touch screens are just a disaster waiting to happen.

Never buy an All In One. They are far worst then laptops of any kind to service and they have a higher failure rate. My experience with them are limited because the few I worked on made me think they were designed in such a way as it would take a blow torch and a jack hammer just to disassemble them.

Choose wisely.
