Daddy_ Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 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.

BJD3 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Is it for just browsing the web etc..etc.. or do you plan on gaming with it at all? Just for clarification, gaming != most browser games. Or the Solitare/Minesweeper/Freecell games that come with your computer. I've had people tell me they were going to game and upon askingwhat they played, is was one of those. This has happened a few times. *sigh* Quote Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.

Daddy_ Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I might game on we'll see but I have a xbox 360 for doing that. For the most part it will be usual stuff like internet, watching movies(blueray play must), youtube, school stuff.
