Database Develop

Advice Needed on a laptop

Hi Everyone,
Ive been follwoing the development on the HD2 you guys are producing some good stuff.
I have been looking for a laptop now for some time which I could use for gaming, but my budget is 500quid
this has really taken my fancy;
Toshiba Satellite Pro L670-14L
Intel® Core™ i3-330M Dual Core Processor,
17.3" HD+ Screen,
Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64-bit,
4GB DDR3 RAM,
320GB HDD,
DVD Rewriter,
Dedicated ATI 5650 Graphics,
Bluetooth, HDMI, PSK3FE-00V00REN
for £500
What do you think?

Sounds great for the money
Otherwise maybe look at this Samsung, Which I personally will probably buy when I get the cash
Samsung R580 and the Amazon page.
although it is a smidge over £500
Specs;
15.4" LED HD screen (1366 x 768)
Intel i3 330m (2.13Ghz)
nVIDIA GeForce 310M (With 512MB dedicated memory)
It's red
HD Audio
Webcam
Bluetooth
Wifi (etc..)
Num Pad
HDMI
and some more stuuf

I´ll prefer Toshiba

What was your first laptop

As the title suggests post away
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

macbook was my first and only lappy

HP Dv8350us.. until the hard drive died and I didn't bother to order another one because it used IDE connectors.. Too ancient.

I don't recall the model #, but it was a Dell with a 15" screen and only a 40GB HD. Every Dell that I've ever had, came with defective/finicky DVD drives. HP, Lenovo, and Toshiba didn't have this problem (at least as has been my own personal experience).

Siemens-Nixdorf (something) 485sx 33MHz, 120MB HDD, no sound card
Got it as my first PC for studies in 1994, It was on sale, as newer and better laptops was...
The Nix-sie replaced my beloved Amiga 500, (Yes I kept using a comp that had been presented ten years earlier).
Back to the Nix-sie. It had a Dual-scan 11.6 screen and after a few year the line was clearly visible+several dead pixels. The 120MB HDD seemed like something that a normal user never could fill up.
Got myself CD-ROM connected to the printerport?. Upgraded the RAM from 4MB to enormous 12MB. Had a 9-pin printer with it. running the DOS6.22 and Win3.11(for workgroups?)
In 1999 the Nix-sie died, the screen was a joke and the Ni-Cad battery dead since years back.
Replaced Nix-sie with a Cyrix Desktop, win95 with a soundcard and obsolete...

Why not post your first laptop.
My first is the one I'm one a Compaq (CQ50).

I dont remember the model number but it was some cheap Toshiba from walmart. Since then it has been a compaq,hp (crashed in less than 6 hours after it ran windows update), dell inspiron 15r(hard drive crashed after 4 months), now Im back to a toashiba satellite.

It was Acer Aspire 3985 with 30GB HDD, 512MB RAM and 1.6GHz processor. It was built-in with 14.1" screen. Now I have higher clocks on my phone..

It was a HP 15". About 5 years ago. The only thing I remember about it is it's weight and the pretty decent altec lansing speakers. On the latest Mac Air 13" now

Alienware? What kind of gpu?
AOKP 4 LYF

Do you have a budget or are you rich? Laptops are so expensive!
Sent from my telephone

I always recommend to my friends, Dell.
Good quality and prices (No, i don't work for Dell )

I just ordered an HP with an i7 quad core processor (2.4Ghz)
an HD screen
2GB Radeon Graphics card
A dual drive (160GB SSD/500GB HDD)
8GB RAM
9 cell battery
and a 17.3 screen
It cost a crap load though
I'll post pics when it gets here
But it isn't under 6lbs.
Maybe a Dell XPS? They are lighter

I heard that for durability macbooks are the way to go and for max performance (what I need) PC's are better. Im also a big DIY person so I need a laptop that when the warranty ends, I can take it apart without much hassle. At one time i wanted a macbook but I just dont feel like its for me.

Samsung nowadays has cheap/budget laptops with great specs. But sad that when it comes to laptops, everyone only thinks about Dell, Sony Vaio, HP, etc..

I found 2 laptops that im interested in: Samsung series 7 chronos and ASUS N55SF I liked the Samsung cause it was portable and powerful and same for the ASUS.
I don't see whats wrong with dell, Im using a dell that I've had for almost 4 years even though at one point it broke but it wasn't my fault. Dells in my opinion seem like they can take a beating and keep on running my processor gets average ratings in the windows score index and overall there weren't any major problems that I've had with Dell

Any Samgsung series 7 or 9 are REALLY nice. i'd definietly recommend em.

Without any doubt Dells are good. But due to their Brand name, the offer price is high and when compared to Samsung, not only the price is less, but also you'll get major increment in the hardware specs.
An example should be a Dell Inspiron comes with :-
Intel core i3 2nd gen/3GB RAM/320GB HDD/14" screen/1.3MP cam/No OS/Glossy screen
whereas a Samsung (no idea about model) comes with :-
Intel core i3 2nd gen/4GB RAM/750GB HDD/15" screen(with numpad keys)/1.3MP cam/No OS/Matt-finish non reflective screen
And the price is, Samsung still is under for some penny's than Dell Inspiron.
Not sure whether its true, but heard Samsung provides "their own" produced hardwares to their Laptops except processor. But in case of Dell/HP/Vaio the HDD should be Seagate/Samsung or RAM should be of Transcend's.

Just don't buy any Toshiba...

I would avoid Alienware like the plague, they're just a pretty looking Dell with a different sticker on it.
Personally I use:

ASUS ROG. I have the next step up from this model. They run cold, quiet, and are just straight up beast for the money.

MW3 only on low settings if. I got a Intel HD 3000 and a nvidia gt540m.
But if I was you I would look for something better if you plan play some games. I think nvidia gt540m works good with MW3 because I play it on my notebook and the graphics look good.
When i played MW3 on the Intel HD 3000 I had idea it was not running so smooth.
But Intel HD 3000 can handle 1080p just fine and you can also play some games but I think games like bf3 will not run good on this notebook.
I myself got an Asus K53SV-SX838V and it has Nvdia optimus.

My notebook has an i7 2670QM and 8GB Ram, and a decent GPU Nvidia GT540 and it came with a 640GB harddrive which I replaced with a 128GB SSD.
My notebook was € 587 and I even have an USB 3.0 port and the build quality is good. My notebook is an Asus K53SV-SX838V, but I got it with a really good promotion.
So I don't think my notebook was expensive at all.

I don't know, you look look further? I have no idea what the price off computers is in your country.
Maybe you can better buy an notebook with AMD, because AMD Fusion processor. As these notebooks are really cheap and they seems to have a good GPU part with it.
I'm not fan off AMD, but you can look into it, read online and compare.

The 3D performance of the HD 6320 should be only minimally faster than a 6310 and therefore only low demanding or older games should run fluently (e.g. Call of Duty 4, Sims 3, Left 4 Dead 2, Fifa 11).
Based on the chip in the link bellow it's only a few Mhz faster.
