| 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. |
| Prostar/Sager laptops are in the lower price ranges for a laptop (come
up first at Pricewatch) but I dont know anything about them. Still,
Id not be inclined to purchase those low-end brands. This may be
unfair to Prostar/Sager but I dont think theres a lot of customer
reviews/feedback on the Prostar itself or the tech-support/customer
service Prostar gives its customers--or doesnt give. So its an
unknown. |
| 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. |

Can anyone help me please, things look remarkably stupid as far as prices
between companies producing laptops vary so much. I have noticed in the
past
month of my price searching of laptops, that a laptop can be more
expensive
than one of the same or less quility, is it the Brand Name or what.
Please shed light on this issue anyone if you can.
Thanx. |
