New Laptop

[adc90]

A while ago I bought a laptop on sale for about 600$ and ever since then I've had nothing but trouble with it, having to send it back 2 times for repairs.  Anyways this time the repairs are going to run me about 400$+ for parts and labor (motherboard) so I thought that I might as well get a new one and I wanted you guys opinion.  I'm not willing to spend over 500$ (well a little over...) but if you have any other recommendations feel free to post them.

The ones I was really thinking about getting are

The acer looked the best to me and the reviews were pretty good but I wanted you guys opinion.

The Lenovo G530 is NOT for gaming. Seriously, you can only do basic tasks with this laptop, seeing as how it's part of Lenovo's "value line" of laptops.

The Acer Aspire at TigerDirect has a better processor and a video card that has dedicated memory, for $499.

The Compaq one has pretty low RAM.

2 gigs of RAM is low?

Well, seeing as how a lot of laptops come with 3 GB of RAM and more now. Plus, I've had bad experience with HP/Compaq.

Wow that looks pretty good I'm glad you found that, I'm going to look around different places but so far that seems like a good choice, thanks

Yes. For myself anything below 4gb and I start seeing my memory fill up %100.

32 bit is starting to be phased out so they are bumping up the ram for 64 bit

Looks pretty good. All the same specs as my laptop except the Video card. Not sure on the comparison between ati and nvidia.

USE IT

Its position is 127 so its not a good graphics card, depending on what you wish to use this laptop for.
