This one has the slightely higher end 8700 slower clock speed but has 2 GB of ram and can support 4, with laptop cpus being how they are not sure if I'll notice.
Deja vu here but I think if I recall has a better native resolution.
basically what I'ld like is a Toshiba or an Asus in the 900-1300 range with 2GB of ram and something leaning towards the "hi end" of video cards and preferably 2 to 3 Ghz range of CPU power. So far this is being extraordinarily hard to find.

Perhaps expanding your search beyond tigerdirect and not limiting yourself to those two brands would help.

What price range do you consider fair for what you want?

I dont think Newegg ships to Canada.

Also that video card has a 9500, thats more or less a low end card supped up to be a midranged, I'ld consider a 9600 to be a minimum, preferably a 9700/9800 hundred.

I just checked it out, and they don't.
Sorry.

Why are you buying a new laptop?
Posted by Lanfear (Member # 7776) on :
Didn't you just get a new Gaming PC that everyone ragged on you for buying? when you had no reason to purchase it other than video games.

I'm in trianing to be shopping savvy.
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
So you're not really buying a laptop, then? That's a relief.
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
well, I might if my current one breaks, I have dropped it some 4-5 times and has trouble starting up at times. It's good enough to do miscellanius fetching in EVE but when I get my inheritence I think thats when I'll get a new laptop.

Prioritize, Blayne. You do not need a laptop for mobile gaming, especially when you're trying to move away from home.

I would like to go on record and predict that Blayne never moves out of his parents house.

How much you wanna bet?
Posted by El JT de Spang (Member # 7742) on :
Nothing. You don't have any money.
Er, and neither do I.

I'll put down $20 Canadian that you're not out within a year.I'll require a copy of a utility bill in your name as proof in order to pay up.
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
Seriously Blayne. With a desktop beast for gaming, which certainly stalled you as far as moving out of your parent's home, why would gaming be anything remotely important in a laptop?
But as you said you're just looking around so I suppose there's not much point saying the above.
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
I'm moving out on the 27th ElJay I'll take you on for that bet.

Looking is going to eventually lead to your buying. It's like giving in to cravings. Eventually you'll cave.
