nCOMP1337 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 that depends on your needs laptops change in price weekly just like most other things, there are sales, a lot of it depends on your price range and what you plan to do with it if you plan to do any sort of graphics or gaming, then do not go to a store like walmart or best buy to get your laptop do research, find the specs you need to accomplish what you want, then go to manufacturer sites and online companies that let you "configure" your own laptop and see which offers what you want for the best price most of the time if a laptop or even desktop is "pre-configured" your getting screwed out of a good graphics card or processor (those are the most expensive parts to a computer and about most important) or if its all good equipment, then your gonna pay extra for not configuring it yourself (most of the time) i personally got my laptop at toshiba direct (after a week of research finding the best deal, i get a discount from dell through school and toshiba still had more power for less) i do graphic design, so i needed a computer with power to run the graphics programs in the manner i use them, as well as be able to do some gaming, i play crysis and crysis 2 with no trouble where as many of my friends desktops cant even play it very well, if you can play crysis on highest settings, you got yourself a powerful machine also when helping others find laptops, toshiba has more than not had a better deal for the price the majority of brands are just that brands, most of them carry the same equipment inside or very similar, however some brands such as sony, you will pay a bit extra just for the name, kind of like alienware, but i personally think alienware has gone downhill in quality since dell bought it hopefully that helps a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xStatezOfMindZx Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 You can't go wrong with anything with an i7 cpu with 4 GB ram 250+GB HDD and 17" screen with a nice video card.

Maxim Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 The best for you would be custom, because it suits your needs without wasting $$ on unnecessary upgrades. Not always true. Most companies that build custom computers let you choose parts but jack the price WAY up for the service. And it's almost too hard to get your hands on cheap, quality laptop parts to bother doing it yourself. To the OP: What are you doing on it? That's what's really gonna determine what you need and what will be the "best". Are you going to school? Traveling lots with it? Doing graphics work or playing games? Also, what size screen do you like? Quote wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot that not everyone knows how to do it. NewEgg has competitive prices for good hardware.
