Recommend me a Laptop!
 

Looking for a new laptop after my old one died.
I have a budget under $700.
Dont play any intense games, only dota once in awhile and mostly use it for Pr0n + websurfing.

I've asked people for suggestions they told me not to get HP/compaq and acer.
I have no take on this, so i need some suggestions. =P

Suggest me something. Looking for a 15inch or so, not interested in those net books.

Maybe an older/used IBM Thinkpad. They're built top notch.

im all about Sony, my Vaio is the best computer i've ever owned

^
Pron x 5hrs a day x 2yrs and still no break down?

Get a Thinkpad for that stuff. Thinkpads are tanks... the Toyota of computers.

Both in that it's reliable and quite boring.

acer seems fine for me. Used me pretty much 6+hours a day for 6 months and so far everyting still looks good.

mine is used almost 10 hrs a day, the only thing died is the battery

^ me too, mine is on all day long, getting use, on wireless connection, and nothing has changed since day one, it's about 1.5 years old at this point

my SZ is actually close to 3 yrs old now...
but its getting quite ugly due to wear and tear, keyboard wearing out, scratches everywhere...

i suggest a thinkpad too. they are built with better quality, and feels better to the touch too.

Just wait... Acers suck. Even their high-end "Ferrari" models - I've had many friends with Acer laptops with issues. Dead fans, dead mobos, bad drivers... *shudder*

Usually slightly after 1 year, then it fails.

go for a thinkpad or a dell

dell+complete care warranty.

end story.

Fixed. The Inspirons are iffy. Go with a Latitude/Vostro/XPS.

are you guys serious about the thinkpads? IBM is terrible...

thinkpads are actually really good...but with your budget of 700$ you don't have much choice xcept for the laptops available at bestbuy/futureshop. They usually carry acer, HP...etc.....they're O kAY for your usage...just reformat to win XP and it'll b good to go. Another option is if you are willing to buy used then you have a wider availability. I believe my gf is selling a white hp laptop thats 15" for about 500$...dual core..3gb ram...and is for sure capable of dota and such.

500hmm whats the model?

=P
