If would go for the desktop if you don't travel much. But out of those choices I would go with this one: -

Dell Studio 17 Laptop
specs:
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T8100 (2.1GHz/800Mhz FSB/3MB cache)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition SP1
4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2
256MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 3650 (video card)
320GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)

Just because of the extra hard drive. The other features are pretty much the same.

Extra HD is useless tbh. If you really want extra/secure stuff, Split your HD's space. Can be used on any HD, most of the time it does 50-50, but I know theres programs that give more options. Either way, I agree with the people who said Dell Sucks. Dell over-prices pieces of crap.

I agree with Most. I prefer HP. But judging from the choices he gave us his mind looks like it's already made up....he's going for Dell.

Just go for something that has at least 2GB of RAM and 2.2 Ghz processor.

2.2 GHZ processor? Damn Talk about low-key...
Most Laptops have 2.5+ and Most computers have 2.7+
If you want to do real things with your computer, go with an at least 2.5 processor.

well both the laptops were about 1300 and the desktop was 1270 or something like that

if dell sucks that badly than what other computers would any of you reccomend that is about 1300 or lower and is a good computer for gaming(desktop or laptops)

For gaming purposes i would suggest getting a custom built PC, They are more reliable then factory made PC's due to the fact you won't void any warrantee's if you were to upgrade your PC. Also custom PC's are cheaper then store bought one (this does depend on the component's you have installed) i bought mine for $1200 AUS (About 800-900 USD i think).

He's right. If you plan to play games and stuff get a higher one if you can. The ones I mentioned are good enough just for your everyday basic applications on Vista. If you get a higher processor than that the RAM space will also increase which is a good thing.

Go for an HP.

HP For gaming? May as well go dell at that point, lol
Custom built is the way to go. I would recommend buying the parts yourself and self-building if you know how to, you will easily save cash on it and have a better understanding of the computer as a whole. If you can't build it yourself, then go buy a custom built on as possed said. The prices for the other dells weren't that bad, but overall dell is a no for gaming. As well as Laptops, its much, much better to go for a custom-built pc.

Yeah, that would be great. I have no idea how to custom build a PC lol. And my major at College is Computer Networking. X_X Maybe I will learn a few things later.

Anyway, I just trust the HP brand. Their products are reliable, even Compaq (which I have now). Sony is good too.

narutoXtsunade, are you going to play PC games on it?

narutoXtsunade · 10-21-2008, 01:47 PM

yeah i plan on using it for gaming

what do you mean by custom built, like add on what you would like on the site where the computer is at?
