Since my laptop is a piece of shit, I just want to go and buy a new computer. Here are the specs on the one I am looking at buying: ProcessorIntel® Pentium® Processor Speed2.1GHz System Bus800MHz Cache Memory1MB on die Level 2 System Memory (RAM)4GB System Memory (RAM) Expandable ToNonexpandable Type of Memory (RAM)DDR2 Hard Drive TypeSATA (5400 rpm) Hard Drive Size750GB GraphicsIntel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD Video MemoryUp to 128MB I know the hard drive size and the RAM are good, but the graphics card is what I'm some what concerned about. I do a lot of video editing and it would be nice if it could render the HD fairly good. I currently have a AMD Turion, with Windows 7 and it looks like crap and HD lags a lot. My graphics card is NVIDIA GoForce 7150 Basically my question is, is the graphics card a fairly decent one? |

That looks pretty decent. What's wrong with a 7200 RPM HD? Or DDR3 RAM? If it's just an all purpose laptop for bucking around the specs are alright. I still haven't decided what craptop I want to get yet. Prolly an HP. I just want a mobile unit for communications and music. Nothing special. Worst part about it is I already foresee many problems. A friend of mine went and got an Acer Timeline and 2 weeks later he was ripping the hair out of his head because the thing would take 45 minutes to shut down and incorrectly uninstall programs & apps. took it in and some days later they said it was fixed and the same thing was happening after he booted up. they just put it on a shelf and called him to pick it up later that week and never even looked at it. When he protested(because we came up with the conclusion they shucked it off) they told him there was nothing else they could do because it works fine and if he didn't like the way laptops operate he should've got a desktop. How's that for customer service at Geek Squad USA (BEST BUY ..err..RIP-OFF)

Its not bad, but its not good either. Seems to me that it would only be sufficient if you're only doing everyday stuff like browsing the internetz or something like that, but if you want something good and fast thats not gonna cut it at all. Even for a laptop those specs are pretty low. It will certainly not be good enough for what you wanna do, my laptop is a little better than the one you want to get and its a piece of shit when it comes to video editing and that sort of things. I would recommend getting something better even if its more money, it'll be worth it.

Type of Memory (RAM)DDR2 Hard Drive TypeSATA (5400 rpm) DD2? maybe a ddr3 might be better. more uptodate. also 5400rpm isnt rlly good. my laptop has a 7200RPM. GraphicsIntel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD imo is only good for browsing internet. System Memory (RAM)4GB ram is good. fbs is good. ProcessorIntel® Pentium® Processor Speed2.1GHz call me an amd fanboy but. intel especially at 2.1GHz isnt rlly good. |

Nowt wrong with that, brand loyalty is all well and good but a phenom better than a i7 that kind of talks going to get you locked up.

It's not a laptop by the way, I don't think I'll ever use all 750GB's, my current laptop has 250 and I never came close to it.

Well your not trying hard enough, my philosophy is download everything, worry about if you really want it later.
