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

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?

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?

microcenter is a good place better than best buy , I have a gateway laptop and love it .Nev er had a problem

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.

hey tranza, don't forget to hit all us atlanta folk up

and hey, if you are free friday or saturday....i am djing both those nights if you feel like getting out

the friday house party is at a HUGE mansion up above the 285, should be 200-300 people there

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.

One time BUMP!

haha, you are in riverdale? haha...funny, that was our first place we had when we lived here

if youy end up hitting up one of the parties I am djing and DO get too drunk, i will always drag you to my house and you can sleep it off in the guest room ;) we have more than enough room

get a dell

they are so cheap now a days i dont give a fuck what happens to them. i get the 600 buck jammie, when they break down i call and complaine, they send a new dell, i put the old one in the box and hand it back to the ups guy

i keep all my important shit on an external hd.

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.

Matt

That Toshiba looks pretty good.

I like Microcenter too.. you may want to check out Fry's

(shitty site but big store)

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.

Wait a week or so and ARS are giving them away free... its true.

Welcome to the USA Tranza, I hope you like Atlanta, there are a lot of good people down that way

don't get gateway. go with the toshiba

Ok, I just bought the Toshiba. I just hope I get a confirmation soon from Best Buy so that I can pick it up at the downtown store tonight!

Fucking Best Buy. I was supposed to get the confirmation e-mail over 1 hour ago. I'm still waiting for it here at GT and it never arrives!!

I want to go eat!

Always consider the quality that might be compromised when trying to buy much cheaper stuff.
-I am using Dell but I've heard Toshiba is also great.

I found Frys price werent that good but real fun to walk around. THe ultimate nerd store lol

hell yeah, it is like a geeks playground

Dell Laptops are the best.

I just bought a new laptop with a widescreen, HATE IT

I highly recomend not getting a widescreen aspect ratio,

hey tranza, what is the update with you being here?

you been out having fun yet? let us know man, and don't forget to hit me up

go with an Alienware

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.

:winkwink:
