  1. If you do not like to upgrade things I'd go for the samsung, I just did some research and it seems samsungs have good reviews and low failure rates. I was a technician for a year and never seen a samsung come through, although that could be because of them not being so popular.

    That being said both laptops have their draw backs.

    Pro's for the HP: Faster processor, e-sata ports (something that MAY be more useful in the future), windows 7 professional, backlit keyboard

    Cons for hp: integrated graphics which means you'll be sharing your ram with graphics processing, not too bad if you dont ever play games, shorter battery life

    Pro's for the Samsung: Dedicated graphics card, longer estimated battery life with the lithium polymer battery

    Cons for Samsung: Windows home premium (still not bad), Lower line slower processor but it may still be quicker due to it having its own graphics processor

    All in all its really what you plan to use it for, I think either of the laptops would be a great investment.

    The HP you were referring to was the HP # 7 and the Samsung SF510 on the list correct? I will be mostly using the laptop for internet browsing, youtube, e-mailing, school (MS Office software). Thats about it. Out of the Samsung and the HP what would you buy for the daily use I am going to use. One question both can burn DVD and CD right?

  2. Brands to go with ordered from greatest to least imo: Toshiba, HP (depending the line), Asus, Acer

    Brands to stay away from IMO: Dell, Alienware

    Between the ones you posted, Id buy the acer since its cheaper. Then I'd buy two 4 gig sticks of ram off newegg for under $60 and sell the stock sticks and recoup a couple dollars. It also has the numeric keypad which none of the HP's seem to have. You'd have a badass computer for very little money.

    I also like those samsungs because of their specs and keypads. They also look nice and remind me of a toshiba. But I have no personal experience with samsung computers so hopefully someone else can chime in on those.

    Well my budget is $850 and I plan on buying the laptop and not doing anything to do. Keep it bone stock as I do not know too much of what to upgrade. If I do not get the Acer and do not upgrade it what other choice would you choose? The Samsung SF510 looks nice and the HP Pavilion (#7 on the list) would you recommended either of those?

  3. Sorry to bring back this old topic but I finally saved enough money to buy my laptop this weekend and some have seen some good laptops around on the stores website. I do not know much about laptops and all the tech specs so I was wondering if I can post the link to the laptop and you guys could guide me on what is the best one.

    So what do you guys personally is the best laptop out of those seven?

  4. I was browsing around Fi website and was looking through there woofers. The Fi BTL N1 caught my attention and wanted to know the specs (like RMS and max RMS). After I start working I am going to take my old system out and put in a REAL system. Would you guys recommend the BTL N1 or the Fi Q? I aming wanting a woofer that can handle 1000 but I am sure Fi woofers can handle a bit more. Tell me if I am wrong because I am wanting to get two of these bad boys and maybe get a amp that does 2500watts. So it will be around 1250 a woofer. Is that ok for daily setup. If you have any other recommendations please let me know. I am also looking at DC Audio Lv4.

  5. i just asked nate the same question yesterday. im looking for one in the same price range. he says this one is the best in it's price range.

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115977&Tpk=Acer%20Aspire%20TimelineX%20AS3820T

    you can get it with i3, i5, or i7 processors. 11", 13", and 17" screens. im probably going to buy one today.

    This is the same one you posted correct?

    I'm looking to but it from the store not online so if you see any other good laptops from that site ors bestbuy.ca or any other Canadian site please feel free to share with me.

  6. I am wanting to buy a laptop (this will be my 1st one) and really don't know too much about computers. So I decided to come here and ask you guys what would you recommended? I have been looking at samsung sf510 and 900x3a and some Dell ones. If you guys could tell me what is a good one that will last a while that would be great. My budget is between $600-$800. Thanks

  7. Well guys I've been stressing out about this since yesterday since I found out/ saw it. I have a little bald spot near my hairline on the left side right above my eye. Its right where the hairline is and the left side part of my head as it starts to curve. I am really stressing and want to know if hair will ever grow there or is there anything to put on it to make it grow. I am only 21 and about to turn 22 in about 2 weeks and this stuff shouldn't happen this young. My mother and father have thick full of hair. Grandma and grandpa also have thick hair and so do my dads brother and my moms brothers. I have one cousin from my dads side where he started losing his hair at about 24-25 and he just shaved it and now is bald. I DONT WANT TO BE BALD !! HELP

  8. thats the job market man. I have friends who majored in business and aren't working jobs anywhere near there major. For now, you take what you can get. if your making over 14 an hour where you are, then stay there until something better comes along. you look, and if you can't find anything, you look some more.

    Yes I was thinking about either going full-time at my current job and keep trying or just going back to school and getting my BBA. Would getting a BBA make much of a difference. Since I have a diploma I can finish getting my BBA in two ears instead of four.

    since you've been at the store so long, and now have a degree, you should ask about management opportunities...there's no shame in working for a grocery store...a very good friend of mine is the GM at one, and started just like you did. he makes $185k a year now.

    I have a Business Management Diploma at the moment not a degree. I am thinking about going back to college or university and getting my degree. As for working for Save On Foods (duno if you have them in USA) they do not have anything in an office environment right now. Applying to jobs in today's world is very hard. Everyone here now wants online applications and once you did it it's like you never hear back from them again. I remember when I got my high school job I went to the store got an application and filled it out and attached my resume and some certificates I had got. Now everything has changed and is way different than before.

  10. Hey guys. Well let me start of by saying I have been really depressed for the last nine months. It all started when I finished college and got my diploma in Business Management. After I finishing I decided why not go on a 3 week vacation to visit my family after all that hard studying. Well after I returned I immediately started job searching hardcore and sending about 5-10 resumes a day to companies I was really interested in. Nine months have passed since I graduated and have only been called in for about 10 interviews. Most of the jobs wanted me as a office administrator. A few of them were really nice jobs earning about 30k-40k a year. Most of them were really low balling me and staring off $10-$14 hourly. I have been working part-time since grade 11 at a grocery store and I make more hourly then those low ball offers. So last couple of days I feel really depressed because I can't find a decent job and really don't feel like doing anything at this moment. I am considering going back to college and getting my BBA(Bachelors Business Administration) and major in Financial Services and Administration and minor in Accounting. Would you guys think this would help me out. What kind of jobs can I get with my current Diploma and what can I get with that Degree. I don't know maybe it's my resume or something but the teachers have looked at it and said it's fine. If someone is a master and could take a look at it that would be great. I really appreciate all the support I get from you guys,
