Yes i have been away from perb all week .My acer good a white screen last sunday and would not re boot ..
So I had to get a new one .. I could not even access the old threads on buying a computer My smart phone just was not ideal for doing that ..even though I could access perd this time .
So I did my rounds of the store . looked at what they had and prices .. most was all greek to me at first .. kind of got used to seeing the specks .. Like intel i3 or i5 or i7 and what the different mgz were .. and turbo boost .. and screens 15.3 and 17.3 .. Als about the other stuff like Wifi and blue tooth..,,, some had AMD processors and other other intel.. and then the graphics cards .
Price was where \i started to see what \i got for 500 \there was lots of makes .. but all very similar in what they had . \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\It was a bit of a chore . I liked my Acer so I started there.. and then \i had heard that Asus was good... then there was Toshiba ,Samsung, Hp,Sony,Dell , Lannova and a few others ... Apple was not on my list
It turns out that most brands of computers are made by the same source out companies .. the cases may be different and some components better quality but still coming from the same factories .. :doh:
\but like all way after buying \i still should of looked a little more and check what i was getting for the price .. could of saved another 200 or just got a better computer.. I got an Acer 17.3.. with a 2 gen intel i3.. 2.4 mhz 3mb L3 cash.. 6mb DDR; intel, graphics \DVD drives and screen types ..was same as most and a 750 HD .. I did consider a hybrid with a one SSD
All i got windows 7 over windows 8 |I still may up grade but then I should of got a computer with Intel i5 or i7... ahhhhhhhh
So $494 plus $ 100 to in stall program and optimizing (think I was ripped there) 100 for 2 more yrs on warranty from Staples and tax $777....
Any one got some thing better \i alway can take mine back in 14 days ...lol
