Author Topic: Which Laptop should I get?  (Read 1386 times)

I'm in the market for a new Laptop. My budget is around $1000. I'll mainly be using it for gaming.
I want to be able to play Guild Wars 2 and Battlefield 2 when they come out.

I want an HP, and I've decided on two models.

So which should I get?

The HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition series:

or

The HP ENVY 14 series:

For the dv6t, I'd go with the second GPU option they have.

Do you need a laptop? A desktop would be better.

Also, can you tinyurl those links?

None, get a MacBook Air 11".

He wants to play games and doesn't want to pay out the ass... Hmm. Macs dont fit either of those.

Alienware M11X, I might get flamed, but I have one and love it. Google for more info.

Core i5 2.3 GHz
GeForce GT 540M w/ Optimus (automatically kicks into low-powered Intel video chip when not playing games to save battery when you're not charging or plugged in)
500GB HDD
4GB RAM
and for some reason I guess a Blu Ray drive for stuffs and giggles.

I read the topic title as "Which lolipop should I get?"

well if you must get a laptop, get the hp pavillion entertainment laptop.

although i do not suggest getting a laptop, because building a $700 computer would be a stuff ton better than a $700 laptop. plus you can upgrade the parts in the desktop rather than in a laptop where the components are set in place and cant be tampered with.

This.

I made the mistake of getting a laptop. It has great gaming capabilities, but when it overheats (which is often), it runs like an 80's rig.

I've got an idea.
Build a gaming PC with 700 bucks, and use the other 300 for a laptop.
:D

Neither, HP laptops are stuff. Get a Toshiba, they're much better.

This is the one I have, I got it at Best Buy for $740.
