getting a new laptop. know jack crap about buying one as i normally just goes to the sony website and order one. things I want:
not a mac
14-16 inch screen
decent for games but doesn't have to be great (would prefer one of those switching GPU things or whatever for battery life)
looks cool
sandy bridge processor
costs less than $1,500
GO!
-
also, given cord trip debacle 2010 if there is one that has one of those cords that don't break the computer when someone trips on it that would be great.

Here you go. HP Pavillion DV6T Quad edition series.
http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks&a1=Category&v1=High+performance&a2=Screen+size&v2=15.0+-+16.9&series_name=dv6tqe_series&jumpid=in_R329_prodexp/hhoslp/psg/notebooks/High_performance/dv6tqe_series
With the latest Intel Core processors and optional Radeon HD graphics, our 15.6" (diagonal) premium dv6t Quad Edition, wrapped in new metal finish, is geared for an exceptional experience. 2nd generation power
Get a major power boost with this series' Intel 2nd generation core i7 processor, which features:
Extra performance when you need it; increased energy efficiency when you don't
Intel Turbo Boost Technology1, which automatically speeds up the system when the PC needs extra performance
Intel HT Technology, which lets each processor core simultaneously work on two tasks 2
High frequency and large cache size for even more responsiveness
Configure with -
8GB RAM
2630QM Processor
6770M Radeon Graphics http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6770M.43955.0.html
640GB 7400 RPM Drive
higher capacity battery
That's $1074.
-
The 160BGB Solid State drive would be awesome, but they are charging $410 for it, which is kinda pricy. Think of it like a giant USB flash drive for your hard drive, so instead of a slower hard drive with moving parts, this is much faster, quieter and won't break (probably)
-
Get the 3 year warranty w/ accidental damage

listen to Saul.

I bought this for $800 last year, and it's great. The battery lasts about 8 hours if you use the energy-saving GPU. Saul's computer would be better for gaming, though.

What kinda games are you looking to play, Steve Dave?
I'd suggest getting a Steam account if you don't have one. Don't have to mess with having CD/DVD's for games to lug around. Digital distribution, social features, and tons of good sales on games.

Yeah, the 14" also uses the older graphics card.
IMO - it's not a bad laptop at all, and it will be fast enough for what you will be doing (presumably nothing taxing). If you answered my gaming question (YOU COULD PM TO SAVE NERDFACE), I could better evaluate your situation.
But, it's not a good value. For that price, you shouldn't have to pay for the older technology.

I don't play any games right now but would like to. probably whatever is talked about in the video game thread. I have abandoned my 360 (OT, anyone want to buy a 360 with two wireless controllers and whatever sized hard drive they used to come with?)

Woot has been selling some refurbished HP's for real cheap. I got a 15" for $179. Has something like 3meg mem, 60 gig hd, dvdrw/cdrw, 2.2mhz processor. It isn't by far the best you can buy, but if you are just doing spreadsheets and such, it is fantastic.
Bought mine 3 weeks ago, but have seen it for $199 three times since.

HP's high end workstation laptops. From HP, they're out of your price range. You may be able to find one close though. The "dreamcolor" option has an IPS screen. It's gorgeous. The machine itself is probably too expensive and powerful for what you need though.

HP's high end workstation laptops. From HP, they're out of your price range. You may be able to find one close though. The "dreamcolor" option has an IPS screen. It's gorgeous. The machine itself is probably too expensive and powerful for what you need though.
just googled. can you imagine some huge dorkstore sitting down in the AA Admirals club with one of those? :lol:

Do you have a good pair of headphones to pair with the new laptop? That is a must.

I was thinking, make sure this new laptop can play blu-rays. You'd look stupid with a DVD case next to your laptop. Blu-ray, though? :cool:

why not a mac?
I don't know how to use them and am worried none of the stuff I have purchased (pirated) for my pc will work on it. macs look elite though. I think that's why I like the ENVY so much.
-
$500 Bucks off . . . still over $1000 though.

They are easy to use, none of the software you have will work (most of it anyways) but that's not a big deal, can always re-pirate.
But they are overpriced and can't do anything a PC can do, so why bother

People will mock you for not having a blu ray player in your laptop. If you can handle that I think you'd be ok without it. I don't see software being produced on blu-ray in the next 3 years.

Does your laptop have an HDMI out? That's the easiest way to connect it to your tv. Then you can just shove in your tv storage, or where ever. Get something like http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Multimedia-Remote-with-Keyboard/dp/B0036VO67I or http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0011FOOI2/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=1278548962&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0036VO67I&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0JWY8Q0ZF6PP2MRBRTHG to control it.
Done. Some cool software is available for HTPC use. Check out Boxee, Hulu desktop, BeyondTV, and even windows media center is pretty good.

My laptop has a 14" screen and only displays at 1366x768, and it hasn't bothered me a bit. I have a nice monitor for my desktop, and my laptop usually just gets used for web surfing. Really though, it plays games just fine, at a higher resolution than an Xbox 360 or PS3 does. I guess if I didn't have a nice desktop, the screen resolution on my laptop would be more important, but to me, a laptop that is thinner than a quarter, plays modern games, and costs less than $1,000 seems like a good deal.
I will agree that buying a blu ray drive with a screen that displays less than 1080p is just Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!), though.
-
You are not going to see every pixel on a 15" 1366x768 screen, that is just beyond Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) to say. If that was the case, you could see pixels on a 32" 720p TV from about 30 feet.

No, you are beyond Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). Comparing a 15" screen that is a foot in front of your face to a 32" tv that is 30' away? Are you rough ridin' serious? You're gonna get a eff ton of jaggies on a shitty screen like a 1366x768. People arguing against this have very obviously not used a good screen. There is no going back to a phone resolution on a laptop.

What makes it really fun for me is that this specific line I mentioned above can be used with a usb converter, but only one usb converter that I or the manufacturer has tested will work reliably. mumped up.
Hate anyone still supporting this bull crap.
Seriously, does Timberline STILL require a serial dongle?
Not Timberline. I have actually never used Timberline.
I am talking about a specific line of hardware we use a lot in our work. Product in the field type thing. Something that is part of the finish product we specialize in. It is actually the main interface for the customer/user to utilize what we build.
interesting...don't you work for a GC? Guessing it's an ATM?
Left the GC gig recently and went the specialty route. Less stress, same money, more time at home. Best decision I have made professionally. That said, I do miss building really cool crap.

Hope you don't get a stuck pixel, or it's gonna be huge. I can't even see one on my old 17" 1920x1200 laptop.
I have a 16 inch of that resolution now. am I going to see a difference?

16" with 1920x1200? Yeah that will be a big difference going down to any other resolution. IMO the sweet spot is 1600x900 for smaller/portable laptops, because my work lappy is 1920x1200 15" and everything is so damn small on it.

You're going to hate every minute of it. 1600x900 is the lowest I'd go on a 15-16". Unfortunately, almost all the ones that include a higher resolution are business or professional laptops (ie, not that attractive). I think some Sonys have higher res screens, but isn't that what you have now?

Quit being such a little bitch.

this thing kinda looks medium non ugly and has a high res screen but is more than the HP and has less RAM. Also, I think the video card may be crappier than the HP but I don't understand how to read video cards very well.

Didn't know that's how it is pronounced. Learn something new every day. My mother just picked up an Asus, seems pretty decent. kinda big though, quite a bit bigger than my Dell. It does have a 10 key though, which mine doesn't have and I miss.

ASUS did not used to make laptops and monitors and whatnot. I bought their motherboards back in the day. The P4PE was rock solid.

Hey Saul, it took HP 28 years before they made their first computer and 30 before they made their first PC.
Crazy huh?

HP elitebooks
what is
People will think you are a government employee if you buy one of these. Stay away.
lol. so true. And they always insist on buying the jumbo models. I have an effing enormous HP Elitebook 8730w. Not airplane friendly.
just googled. can you imagine some huge dorkstore sitting down in the AA Admirals club with one of those? :lol:

ASUS has made laptops for sometime. They just sold them to other companies for rebranding. Hell, macbooks used to be made by ASUS. I have had about 4 ASUS motherboards. K8N-DL was my favorite.
