HELP! Buying new laptop

Are you running a USB key with the SpeedBooster? I'm told that it's actually a notable improvement in performance.

I had an 8GB flashdrive running but i took it out. I might put my 4gb in

Only notable performance increases are seen when using 512MB-1GB of ram, other wise, it's negligible.

Good pick, but video card coulda been better.

Si. So BB gave you this laptop since they couldn't fix the other? What was the price on that one? (current one)

the old one was 1,100 3 years ago...they would only give me a "comparable laptop" and what they offered were 400 dollar laptops (which i said no on and picked this one since they said i would have to pay 800 for a mac). This laptop was on sale 150 off. so usually 900 but on sale for 649.99. They gave it to us free still (we were there for almost 2 hours because of them anywase so we were not going to leave without not paying for this and only paying the warrenty) and they just said whatever. I know they scammed me in a way but ill live since its not that bad a pc. It does need a fresh install of Vista for sure...the junkware is annoying. But for the next 2 years it will be fine. Put ubuntu and ill live. Hopefully... I am still kinda P.O'd at BB for scamming me but ill live

That sounds like an awesome computer.

Your old computer sounds like mine. I've got a Compaq with 1.5ghz and 650 mb of RAM (upgraded from 250). 40gb hard drive.

But I got mine for $500 I got it from CompUSA right before they declared bankruptcy. Cheapest I could find. Incredibly reliable.

Good luck with your new laptop Speed.

lol Old thread is OLD!

I have had it for 3 months now...and except for the touch pad being jumpy at times its great. It does need a reinstall at this point because the hard drive is full >_>.

Also...OLD THREAD IS OLD!
