Well i'm pretty sure i will get an pc as my almost 6 year old desktop needs retirement :tongue:

My choices are (all laptops btw):

Pavilon dv6-1240SP HP-700 euros
TFT Wide 15,6 " 1366 x 768
AMD Ultra Dual-Core Turion™ X2 ZM-85 - 2,3 Ghz
2mb level 2 cache
4 GB - DDR2 (2 x 2048MB)
500 GB SATA, 5400rpm
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 - 1GB

Pavilion dv6-1360ep HP-900 euros
LED 15,6" 1366 x 768
Intel® Core™2 Duo P8700 - 2,53GHz
3mb level 2 cache
4 GB - DDR2 (2048 + 2048MB)
500 GB SATA, 5400 rpm
ATI™ Radeon™ HD 4650 - 1GB

N61VN-JX076V ASUS-1100 euros
TFT Wide 16" 1366 x 768
Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q9000 - 2,00 GHz
4 GB - DDR3 a 1066 MHz (2 x 2048MB)
500 GB, Serial ATA 5400rpm
NVIDIA GeForce GT240 - 1GB

I probably won't buy the Asus as i don't need that much, the 700€ HP seems a good deal for the money and most likely will fit my needs but the problem is that it's pretty much out of stock on stores. What do you think?
 
an alternate suggestion =]

but out of those i suggest Pavilion dv6-1360ep
 
Damnit.

If you're going to pay €1100 for such crap non-future-proof computer like the "N61VN-JX076V ASUS" then you're going to step into a big bucket of huge money loss and no gain from the switch.

What you need is a quadcore futureproof (like Intel Core i5/i7 or AMD Phenom II X4 9xx) CPU and also a good GPU card (1gb graphics) to stay cool with it for years. That and everything else your computer needs can be get from €1100.

We have many experts at Cyber Arena who will help you build the best computer package available for your money. And what you have listed here would be just literally ripping of hundreds of €s from you. So go to http://forum.cyber-arena.eu and post in the appropriate Technology section.
 
Don't tell people to go to CyberArena, I mean... he posted it here because he wants the opinion of the TMS community.

If he wants really professional advice, I'm sure theres a big ass forum out there with many real PRO's.
 
Oh, I'm really sorry then. I just saw that the "advice" that the TMS community gives isn't the best.
 
If you have to chose from those three only, then I would deff. go with Pavilion dv6-1360ep HP-900 euros
 
First you guys must understand that not all pc's are available around here, for example i never saw the Acer Aspire 8942G that Nitronic suggested. But please suggest other pc's you think it's better than those i posted.

The 3 pc's that i posted are the best ones (i think) within my budget from the store i'm gonna buy.

Andre the cheapest pc with Intel i7 here is 1500 euros, there is no way i will spend that much money. And i remind you that i'm gonna buy a laptop not a desktop.

Btw i don't get why you guys don't like the Asus, the processor beats any processor from others within the same price. It clocks around 3.0GHz and it's quadcore which is the only one available, at the moment, at the store.

I don't know much about pc stuff so i'm asking your opinion before i buy a new pc.

Anyway mayeb its better to check for yourselfs: http://www.worten.pt/ProductList.aspx?oid=30|31|131&c=1191529
It's in portuguese but i'm sure you can understand the specs. My budget is up to 1000, i will go to 1100 if its worth to spend more.

Mave: the only thing i'm not sure about that pc is the LED screen, from what i've heard it's inferior to TFT screens.
 
I just hope this pc holds up until there lol, today it didn't want to turn on the monitor and already had two blue screens this week xD
