Hello everyone
My PC is about to die, still on AMD dual core with DDR1, they didn't have DDR 2 then, hard drive is about topped and power supply is um... I don't know but it takes 7-8 attempts to turn the thing on now.
So I'm looking at a new system but actually leaning towards a laptop this time as there were too many times in the last year where I needed a computer but one wasn't handy.
I've got about 1500 Canadian (~1100 or so American). Biggest and most memory use will be gaming, but still need all office application software for work and school. So what would you suggest for a PC that I would build and a laptop.
Thank you much,
Venge Sunsoar
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it is bad.

So for $1,100.00 you want both a laptop and desktop? You aren't going to get much for either with that budget.

Haha no either one but leaning to the laptop
I am quite fond of the new ASUS laptops. I am not really sure how the 9700M would run though. The 9800M in the new G50VT-A1 is pretty fast.

think he is refering to seperate answers, one being for desktop and other if you recommend laptops what would that answer before it.... but not 1,100 USD for both (total)
psh, you can suggest a PC and a laptop for under $1500 Canadian. Get an MSI Wind for $396, then get an HP desktop for $1000 bam you have it. Infact here is a suggested pair.
MSI Wind U-100, $396.49 Canadian
CyberPowerPC Gamer Infinity 9515, $937.49 Canadian
Total: $1333.98 Canadian
And you can build your own better desktop for even less. Also newegg.com does not ship to Canada. You want to use newegg.ca
I cant say much about laptops and with that budget, but did u try to look into the new nvidia laptop video chipset..their like GeForce GTX 280M and 260 something..I need to get those, im saving..i'll give you some info if i find more
nvm as I just started researching the gtx280 is only good as the desktop 9800gtx..
I'd say try waiting until the ati mobility 4000 series..it will be the same power as the desktop..the highest coming out will be probalbly be a 4870
Did netbooks go up in price?
Some did. Thats in Canadian. The model in the US costs $329.
Goddamn Canada. Oh wait, are US dollars still valid currency?
