Just bought a new laptop

[motoman]

Let me tell you, this bitch flys! I really like the touch screen option. My other business CPU is a POS touch screen and I really like this feature. The backlit keyboard rocks, no more lights on at night.

Shit, I didn't realize it had a touch screen option.

They call it a Multi-touch, I had to sacrifice 1080p, but 900p is enough and I can finger fuck the screen...

Fry's also has this Alienware for $499, if you're into that sort of thing, similar specs to the second link I posted above:

http://www.frys.com/product/6272990?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

That hasn't been available for months. It's twice the computer that you posted before, because the video card has dedicated memory, not VRAM. They've just been lazy and haven taken it off the website.

Sum it up basically to say you can get a HELL of a lot more laptop for $500 bucks than what you picked up at Wal-Mart. Restore the drive with the built in recovery partition and take it back. Wal-Mart is the absolute LAST place on earth I would go to buy a GOOD laptop. My FIRST place (locally) would be Microcenter, followed by Frys, then on to the only remaining big box retailer Best Buy. I would look on the internet for specials from TigerDirect/CompUSA.
Hell I'd buy a used laptop on Craigslist before I'd go to Walmart. Don't mean to offend....but Walmart carries the absolute most bottom of the line, most cheaply made electronics that can be sourced from the cheapest vendors they can find...so they can mark it up and make HUGE profits.

HAha, alrighty. I just might take it back. But if i take it back i wont have the money for another one till i get paid again. Gotta drop the coin on a new motor this weekend.

That's a tough call in IMO, one you get more RAM that comes installed, the other you have a bigger hard drive. One has an Nvidia graphics card, the other has Radeon. And one is a 15 inch, the other is a 17inch.

Just depends on what interests you more. You can't go wrong with either of those.

If I were you I'd go with the 15" laptop, the 17" laptops are huge, not very mobile, and weigh a ton. On top of that it's difficult to find laptop cases or backpacks that can fit one.

I really dont care for a huge screen. Just more to lug around. I was posting for all 5 links i posted up. lol. Which outta the 5 do you think is the best bang for buck?

Also, backlight keyboards laptops are really expensive arent they?

I second this.

The best thing about the ASUS laptops is they use pretty much all their own components where it's possible and ASUS makes quality components.

[BttleFedC10]

Alright, gotta save up some cash for that one. lol. I really doubt ill play any games on it. Not much of a pc gamer at all. But if it plays 1080p video and is fast. Im all for it. BUt i doubt ill push the limits of the thing. lol

Also, even though i paid for the warranty on my current one ill get the money from that back to right?

This is another good deal, if you prefer an AMD processor over the Intel one:
