| Personally, Ill probably get a Panasonic Toughbook for its
ruggedness but second choice would be a Toshiba for other resons. I
have not looked at the Acer line in laptops yet. |
| Aha! I said. Why is Toshiba is willing to blow off that
one-third of the market that prefers touchpads? The ideal
product mix would contain some models with the eraser-like
pointer, and some models with touchpads. That way, Toshiba
would sell more laptops. |

From what i hear Acer makes horrid desktop PCs. I also heard
though that their laptops are pretty good. I have been looking at
some
acer models and the price does seem considerably lower than that of
comparable laptops from other companies. Is it a good idea to get an
acer that is better and cheaper, or do they make bad laptops also?
Has
anyone had experience with Acer laptops specifically?
I also have come accross a HP laptop that i like. I have heard
though that HP is going to stop making computers and just make
computer
peripherals. Firstly, is this true? Secondly, if this is true how
would it affect me if i did buy a laptop from them? Would it mean
that
i wouldnt be able to get customer support, or get something fixed if
something went wrong?
My final question is this. Is it risky to buy computers from
small
companies like prostar and kopak? Should i stick with more well
known
companies? thank you for everythin. |
| So, if you think that its stupid for laptop gamers to drool in this
forum about the latest and greatest video cards and other specs,
then maybe you are in the wrong forum. Ive been reading this group
on and off since 1994 and one thing that is consistent is the
drooling over new components. Look at the threads about the latest
PIII chips that dont have anything to do with games. Playing with
laptops and making them perform at their peak is one of the things
that people in this forum do, whether its to allow gaming or to run
a fancy new program or to do something else that is new and
different. |
| * Name brand laptops consist of IBM, Dell, Apple, Toshiba, Compaq, Acer,
Gateway, Sony, and
* Laptops from these manufacturers with comparable features also have
approximately comparable prices, except for
* IBM, but this is due to their high build quality and exemplary after-sale
support, and
* Also Apple, but they also have extraordinarily high build quality, and by
the way,
* Dell also has superb support, then all the other name-brand manufacturers
have about the same level of after-sale support (i.e. pretty darn good),
with the notable exception of
* Sony, which has legendarily poor after-sale support (particularly in terms
of web-based support), but
* Dont forget that 3rd tier laptops manufacturers such as Sager or
Prostar usually have cheaper laptops, but
* Thats because 3rd tier manufacturers are also about a generation behind
name brand laptops, but of course
* You can get name brand laptops at discounted prices from retailers such
as Tigerdirect.com, but
* The reason these la. |
