Title: Which laptop to get?
Post by: kramertheman on November 29, 2008, 03:54:02 PM

I have two laptops in mind that I want to get that are both from best buy.One is a Dell and one is an Asus.Here is the Dell:http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8989124&st=Tday_Computers_20081127&lp=3&type=product&cp=1&id=1218006773367 and the Asus:http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9050279&type=product&id=1218012519873.I am leaning towards the Dell because it has a Blue Ray/DVD/Cd reader and writer in it but not as good of a graphics card I think.But is 2.1 and 2.26 GHz that much of a difference?Well give me your opinions,as they are greatly appreciated.

eh.. The dell doesn't have bluray?

Both aren't worth the price.

Instead, build your own. The dv5t looks better as well, in my opinion.

That's a coupon code for an extra 30$ off.. You should wait until christmas for better deals, though.

"build your own"?
This isnt a desktop.  People could get lost inside a laptop and break stuff.

if you had actually clicked the link you would have seen that he was just configuring a laptop @ the hp store. l2 read b4 posting.

also for the OP:

http://www.sagernotebook.com (http://\"http://www.sagernotebook.com\")

if you want a high performance "gaming" laptop this is the place to buy from.
