Re: New laptop

I would recommend Acer.
What is your price range?
Here is a good AMD one, but TBH, AMD will give you better gaming performance, Intel for more multi tasking.

Re: New laptop

I was considering the new Sony VAIO L as its specs were suitable for me. But I am still quite concerned about the S$3099 price-tag. Is the price reasonable?

If you want to go that high, you'll get a lot more.
I'm not too sure on Sony laptops, appartly they can be a pain.
I know, however, Acer are superb.

Here are some top laptops:

Re: New laptop

Those price-tags are too high for me. Haha... In what sense will Sony give me "pain"?

Re: New laptop

I bought an Acer with about the same specs for under $1000.
It is running Vista no problem.

Hi,

The reason I like ABS is because they use quality third party parts rather than cheap generic ones. Systemax is also pretty good, they use some third party parts as well.

If you post a price range, then it will help us provide better suggestions.

This is a great gamming laptop if you can afford it:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834224070

Intel Core 2 Duo T7200
2 GB DDR2 667 MHz RAM
120 GB 5400 RPM SATA HD
CD/DVD±R/RW/RAM DL Burner
Mobility Radeon X1600 256 MB
Gigabit LAN, 802.11a/b/g wireless
4 x USB 2.0, 1 x IEEE 1394 ports
