| 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. |

Im looking to purchase a laptop but I first
wished to check out 2nd hand possibilities.
Is there a NewsGroup forsale on computers and
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. |
| The same goes for laptop gamers. Making a blanket judgment that all
laptop gamers are stupid is wrong. There may be individual
circumstances that would warrant the user buying a desktop gaming
system to augment his laptop use, but most laptop gamers make a
conscious choice that they will live with the limitations inherent
in their systems. And in many cases, it is a perfectly sound
decision because the laptop user is already familiar with his system
and many games will play just fine on his machine. In addition,
even though high-end games dont play on most laptops, they dont
play on most desktop systems, either. Most laptop gamers can get
plenty of gaming enjoyment even with a mid-level machine. However,
that doesnt mean that they wont go overboard in finding ways to
stretch those limitations and it doesnt mean that they wont spend
a lot of time window shopping for something with even more
capabilities. |

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. |
