I'm in Atlanta. Now I have to buy a new laptop computer, any sugestions.

08-17-2005, 02:05 PM

First of all, I'd like to say I didn't have much online time since wednesday, so if you wanted/tried to talk to me on this period and couldn't it's just because I'm so full of stuff to do with the moving and all. I'm sorry for that.

Ok, I have to buy a new laptop computer. And I'd like to hear some suggestions.

I liked the Sony Vaios a lot, but they are a little more expensive then the other brands so I guess I'll stick with either HP or Toshiba.

This is the exact model I had my eyes on, what do you guys think?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1115365992798

Any input about Toshiba laptops would be great.

I noticed Gateways computers are MUCH cheaper than everybody else. Are they not reliable? Are they worse than the other brands?

I'm just a newbie.

I used to sell laptops many years ago, back before Dell went direct only. At the time the best you could get were Dell and Toshiba, and I don't think things have changed much since. Toshiba support was always excellent too...

Is this the place you're talking about?

BTW: Best buy has an offer online right now that if you buy a Toshiba laptop you get a free 512 Mb flash drive, worth $80. That's why I had chosen Best buy.

Hi Jace!

As soon as I get my laptop (I think I'll do it today), I'm going to hit all your atlanta folks up!

I'll try to make to one of the parties you'll be djing, I won't promise only because I'm still a little lost and I'm sure that if I go alone to a party I'll end up getting drunk. And than I wouldn't be able to drive back to my cheap ass little hotel down in Riverdale.

I'm just a newbie.

Welcome to Atlanta, where the Playas play...

As for laptops, I can tell you I bought my Vaio at CompUSA and I absolutely love this laptop, its by far the best I have ever had! My resume includes Dell (3), Compaq and Toshiba.

That Toshiba looks pretty good.

I bought my laptop with my Visa and it automatically doubled my warranty.. when it broke 1 month after my 12 month warranty was up Visa paid the $1000 repair bill.

Amex has the same program.

Always consider the quality that might be compromised when trying to buy much cheaper stuff.

I was at a pawn shop a couple weeks ago and I asked the head guy there where their laptops were. He said that he keeps them in the back. I asked him why he didn't have them displayed for people to see. He replied that he just puts them up on eBay. He was more than willing to show me a few of the good ones. This one he showed me was easily a $2500 laptop. It was sweet. It had a widescreen display and looked brand new. I almost bought it for $800 right then and there, but didn't.

Moral of the story: If you want a real deal on a laptop, go to a pawn shop. If they don't have any on display, ask.
