What Should I Get?

[Geazergimli2]

Ive been wondering for the past few days now on what computer should i get for this summer, the answer may seem like common sense to others, but for me, obviously not.


The first one is this incredible : ASUS G Series G73JH-A3

The 2nd one is the infamous alienware : M15x

Here are the problems with the Asus:
1 hour battery life
Laptop cards != Desktop cards, that mHD5870 = HD5750, which retails for only $130 >.>
8gb of RAM, unless you love Photoshop or AutoCAD, those 8gb won't help at all, 4gb is fine.
Do you realize how heavy an 8 pound laptop is? And to carry that around?

Just get a decent Desktop and buy a netbook, you'll have better gaming and still have a good portable computer.



And to the Alienware, they always suck, and we can't see your cart even

lol... 8 pounds isnt too bad, because mine is 8 pounds right now hehe but 1 battery hour i don't mind because i never use my laptop unplugged, but the 8 gig memory, the resolution and blueray player, all get me hyped up... but as for alienware... idk they look amazing, but its technology is out of date... =/

 

[BlargHonk]

Excuse me, but are you going to actually move it around?

Blu-ray sucks ass, and like I said before, you won't use 8gb of RAM, games take around 2gb, max.

Really now... Blu-ray sucks??? hah what a joke, but about the 8gb of ram... i like to run a lot of program at once... i like to make high quality videos... trust me, i had a desktop with 4 gigs of ram.. sure 4 gigs may be good for games... but what i do with it is a whole other level

 

[BlargHonk]

Blu-ray does suck, the drives are overpriced, the disks have a slow data transfer rate, and it's unreliable as hell.

It's cheaper to just get a 1tb external HDD and you'll have more performance and capacity than a Blu-Ray


Don't buy into the marketing BS, because thats what it is

 

[Geazergimli2]

hah, ill just let you know i have 3 blueray players in my home... all 3 are very fast, and having a home theatre really lets u know how well a movie can look... so sayin blue-rays suck will not change my thought about them... cause i already made my decision... and lol everyone i know who has an ASUS all given me good reasons to get one... but i guess ill just wait till later this summer to see if something better comes out... but if not, ill just stick with this one hehe

 

[BlargHonk]

Of course those Blu-Ray players are faster, think of how much larger they are, now, fit all that tech into a tiny box measuring about .5x5x5 inches.

That, is why computer Blu-Ray players are over-hyped, and the pre-burned movies are faster always, self burned discs are slow as hell.

 

[Geazergimli2]

Meh... blu-ray player or not i would still get that laptop lol.. and i dont really burn stuff much and even if it is slow... i dont mind waiting, i can always listen to some music or go do something to wait... so time is no problem for me

 

[BlargHonk]

Yet still, better to just get a really good desktop, and a decent notebook.

Now, look here. An ASUS motherboard has no match is it id mounted with a Nvidia GE Force and an Intel i7/AMD Phenom II X6. That's my own configuration. It works like Hell. But IF YOU CAN EXTEND YOUR BUDGET, I'll recommend an Alienware.

 

[Geazergimli2]

I compared alienware.... i get everyone i could with alienware (which is all out of date) and the price adds up to $2500... for an out of date computer.... hmm... not gonna happen

Besides your obvious violations of the English language, you are really not very intelligent in your recommending of a desktop processor for a laptop, and it's Geforce, not GE Force.


And just as a btw, Geforce's aren't as good as you think, they have the most powerful single GPU card (Geforce GTX480), but it uses a hell of alot more power and has less performance than the dual-GPU card from ATI (Radeon HD5970)


Also, Alienwares are just Dell's in a nice case.

8 pounds i'sent that bad.

Video games a some point may be using blue-ray s
