no new video card for me

Amd gt player · 05-11-2008, 04:50 PM

well ive decided on waiting a litle bit longer for my video card, maybe atleast until this summer, this hole fire thing has put me off the idea of getting a new gpu. some may say teh fire was a sign lol. anyway ive decided on purchasing this instead. http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/prodde...74&catid=20356 but 4gb of ram. i think il have more fun with this then i would the 9800gtx for now. also ive been wanting a laptop for a long time, no more arguing to use my desktop when i wana use msn since i own the only pc in the house, il just do so when i wana game.

nice laptop.....it has a rather small screen though.

Also when buying a laptop they get you on the battery...that is a 6 cell. That is not very good. The laptop i bought a year ago has a 12 cell. So before you buy that one look around.

Also i don't know how you could possibly have the same viewing area of a 15.4 screen with a 12.1.

i want a tablet laptop so i dont have to bu ya tablet for either the laptop i buy or for my dektop, also 12 inch doesnt matter to me, i want small.

ok but it still has a not so good battery... are you going to be using the battery a lot or are you going to have it using the AC.

If you are using the AC a lot then id say the laptop would be great for your needs

also im getting it crazy cheap i forgot to mention, my old boss lent one to his sister for a bussines trip for two weeks she doesnt want it, so hes selling it to me at a lower price because its used, and he knows hel have a hard time selling it in the town we live in. sincei m getting it a ta cheap price il look into getting a new batery for it, il be mainly using it on the charger, but for school the batery would be handy, also i cant wait to play star craft on a touch lol

Yeah since your getting it cheap a new battery would be a good decision...even on top of it only being a 6 cell she might not have charge it corectly and made the battery last not very long.

How cheap are you getting it?

If any laptop battery lost a significant amount of capacity over a period of 2 weeks that manufacturer would be for a nice little class action...

all it takes is about 5 times of not charging it correctly....or using the laptop while it has the battery and ac in it really hurts the battery.

but how about u need to recharge the battery while using the laptop?

Doesn't that hurt the Laptop Battery? Eventually it weakens the power of the Charge it holds
