Can anyone tell me what are the things to look out for when buying a laptop? And whether this one is worth the money? Thanks!

go alienware..you'll own the coolest laptop in campus..
-
i think it's a good buy based on specs.... but personally i dun like acer...

The specs itself are good enough already, if you don't mind it being heavy. However, if you are going to rely heavily on that laptop, get a lighter one. Other things to look out for include RAM, if you are doing designing courses. Some designing softwares use a lot of RAM, so sufficient RAM is an important thing to note. If it is going to be used for normal word processing, get a Centrino instead. Saves money.

I cna buy 2 with teh same specs, but not laptop. -

-
Yeah... I'm getting it for gaming purposes as well actually... And my course is accountancy...

Why not?Originally posted by ^tamago^:i think it's a good buy based on specs.... but personally i dun like acer... -
I'm using that.
Got it $100 cheaper than what you stated and that includes a 'free' upgrade to 2 gb of RAM. -
And if you have the money, go for quality brands like Fujitsu/Sony. Else, Acer is good value for money.
-
bad experience with acer, like more problems generally. every acer pc i see have some kind of problems like does not boot when i install a new pci card, cannot read cd burner at all no matter wat u do with its drivers etc.
-
Wah, where did you get that for? Actually mine is $2520 if I get it in school... And also a 3 year warranty...Originally posted by ne0matrix:I'm using that.

Not bad what the deal. Still got 3 years warranty. I got it for 2598 but it doesn't include additional warranty... but 'free' RAM upgrade is good enough.Originally posted by technoboy:Wah, where did you get that for? Actually mine is $2520 if I get it in school... And also a 3 year warranty... -
You mean you add 'new' stuffs into their PC?Originally posted by ^tamago^:bad experience with acer, like more problems generally. every acer pc i see have some kind of problems like does not boot when i install a new pci card, cannot read cd burner at all no matter wat u do with its drivers etc.
It's different from DIY PC what. I think their motherboard may be designed for specific hardwares to work only... -
one thing, the pre installed OS, what is the OS they are giving you? if xp home edition, then its better to upgrade it to xp professional.
and also any other preinstalled productivity softwares like MS office..etc
-
I heard from my friend that they give microsoft office plus windows Xp pro.
But what's the diff actually? -
seems like they specifically prevent u from adding new components by modding the bios. dunno if it still exists today.Originally posted by ne0matrix:You mean you add 'new' stuffs into their PC?

I recommend you the acer 3282 which is a 14.1inch and lighter too.
Weight plays a big part unless your looking for a desktop replacement. -
Few questions:
1)What is a dedicated graphics card?
2)16ms reponse time. Is that good or bad? What difference does it make? -
btw techno boy, you going NP? If you are i have some 2nd hand books you could use in your first year of study, can save you abit of money since new books costs around $10+ more than a 2nd hand one.

1) It means that its not a integrated graphics card.Originally posted by technoboy:Few questions:

Dedicated graphics card sort of have its own RAM(memory) and does not leech RAM from your computer's available RAM. Whereas integrated graphics cards leech RAM from your computer's available RAM. In short, dedicated graphics card is better. -
I think 16ms is good enough for gaming. I play Doom 3, don't have what blurry trails one leh.Originally posted by technoboy:Few questions:
