I got a new Laptop, too

[Blaze-Senpai]

Same one I planned on getting, minus the upgraded shit since I deemed it useless.

HP HDX 18 ( http://www.shopping.hp.com/series/category/notebooks/HDX18t_series/3/computer_store )

2.53GHz Core 2 Duo P8700
4GB DDR2 Ram @ 1066Mhz
Nvidia GeForce 9600m
18.4 inch screen @ 1920x1080


The shit's huge, but still fits in my bookbag (barely).

Only $1145 with tax

WHY DOES EVERYONE BUY HP.

Every damn HP product I've owned has had problems with failing power systems.

I've never really had any problems with HP products unless you count Compaq since HP owns them and my sisters have a Compaq laptop that's virtually useless because it's seriously that slow and bogged down with extra shit I can't get rid of for some reason.

My dad's Compaq laptop is utter garbage and my HP printer/scanner/copier will not scan unless I reinstall it every single time I want to do so.

That is how my hp printer/scanner/copier/fax is  basically I have to reinstall it on a monthly basis when I need it or its just gonna be useless. Also it has a scan button on it that get this  does NOTHING. You have to go into the software and click scan for it to scan so the button serves no purpose.

If I were to get a PC, what brand would you recommend then? 
I don't really care for Dell, HP doesn't have a good track record, and Sony is too expensive.

Asus

Asus

Sounds good.

Sounds good.

Also, that's if you're buying a laptop since I really haven't heard of anyone building their own.


If you're talking about a desktop, building it would be best but if you are going to buy prebuilt, go with Asus.

Lol thread takeover.

So my sister was bitching to my folks about a new laptop, and they caved. Guess who gets the old one! I mean I'd prefer to wipe the thing and reinstall xp but that would cost money.  Does anyone have ideas for wiping a windows computer while keeping the partition and registered os?

Asus

Almost got an Asus, but it ran like shit at the store and got dirty easily.

I have a Gateway laptop and it's pretty amazing. Also it was only $300.
