#1 Selling Current PC for laptop.. but what one? on December 02 2008 01:38
Well, I need a laptop. I'm selling my current one to "trade in" for something more portable.

Here are the three laptops that I'm looking at.

and this one..

then this one..

So, I need some feedback. What one would you get? I'm looking to spend 500 max. So if you find a better deal then let me know!

My opinion : third.

Why?Because the microprocessor is the better than other two,and have also 3GB or RAM,and I think that have better Video Card than others.

Nothing.

my opininon. get parts. keep your old case and order new parts. will end up being cheaper. :P

some of the most expensive things on a lappy are the screen and keyboard/case.

if you can find a better motherboard thats compatible and upgrade your cpu and ram and keep your hdd you got yourself a new lappy :D

of course you will be breaking any warranty but homebrewed is best :)

I agree with SirGod, that HP DV is better than all the other ones. The only thing about it is that newegg doesn't specify the ram speed. I assume its PC2-5300 like the others, but you never know.

I'm also for the DV series because my friends have them and never had a problem with them. I'd recommend getting rid of Vista.

Don't go with Acer they are exactly like eMachines, they have some sort of self-destructive timer. Seriously.

That's not a bug, that's an unexpected feature

yeah-- I don't want to upgrade my motherboard or anything for a laptop. I mean, it's a great idea and I know I can do it.. but; I want something that's going to work. Yeah-- now I just need to sell my current pc.. get a laptop.. and continue to build my next pc.

Thanks everyone.
