What Laptop do you own or want?

Post by AznKhmerBoi »

This 2012 HP Envy is the newest laptop im considering of purchasing. As you can tell it looks like a MacBook Pro, reason is its a direct competitor to the MB Pro.

Interesting features
-Cover is made of glass.
-Touchpad & Armpad also made of glass.

Im choosing this because i prefer windows over mac os. Also im looking for the smallest size one because they are just so so cute! :)

I have a pretty standard laptop: Dell Inspiron. I use it for everyday things, schoolwork, some emulation/DOS gaming, etc. I use my homemade gaming desktop for current-gen PC gaming and other more "intense" stuff.

My dream laptop would be one from the Asus Republic of Gamers series. I love the look & feel of those. I play around on one whenever I shop at Best Buy. 8)

I've got an HP Pavilion g7.

It's pretty standard issue, but suits me well enough for all my video editing needs. The monitor is 17.5" which certainly is a bonus. I don't really know how well it'd handle games, PC gaming is pretty foreign to me.

I use a Lenovo Y570 for all my PC gaming.

It's a great deal and one of the better laptops you can get for under $1000. I bought mine for just $880. It can handle most any game on high settings, but its max resolution is 1366x768, which is the bottleneck for the graphics. Things still look quite good though, and the keyboard keys have a great feel that is perfect for gaming.

If you care about system specs:
2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM Processor ( 2.2GHz 1333MHz 6MB )
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64
NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M 1GB
8 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz
15.6" HD Glare with integrated camera 1366x768
Integrated 2.0MP Camera
Industry Standard Touchpad
750GB 5400
Blu-ray /DVD Combo
6 Cell Lithium-Ion
Intel 1000 BGN Wireless
Bluetooth Version 2.1 + EDR
HDMI (Out)

I have this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00713KF5E which I bought a month ago. Previously I had a Dell Latitude 610 & 810.

I like the fact that I get 4-6 hours of battery life and can double it by getting a sheet battery. It has 1920x1080 graphics, nice backlit keyboard, 15.5" screen. Down the road, I will swap out the HDD for an SSD once prices come down more.

My opinion:

Toshiba or Asus.

Sony's are way overpriced for what you get, but at least its not a Mac :lol:

I use a 5-year old MacBook for pretty much everything these days. It originally had a 160 GB hard drive and 2 GB of RAM but I've since upgraded it to 500 GB and 3 GB respectively. It is getting a bit long in the tooth though and I'm actually looking to get a PC laptop as I'm getting tired of Apple's crappy power supplies. However, I'm thinking of turning whatever laptop I get into a Hackintosh, as I never could get used to Windows 7 and XP is too vulnerable to use these days IMO.

I have many, but hte main three I use are:
Asus EEE 900a - linux mint - general use
Asus EEE 900 - super portable gaming/sykpe machine
Dell Vostro 1000 - (soon to be) primary portable windows gaming/field work pc

I would love to upgrade to something that can run Witcher 1 and l4d2 decently, but honestly I do not want to pay over $400 for a laptop. Something like a Lenovo B570 with the geforce 410m and a better battery would be perfect for me.

Not enough TP love in here.

I have an old 385CD for DOS and early Wintel gaming. A T61 (last 4:3 laptop they made) for just general use.

I'd really like to have a new T420s
