Which notebook should I buy? - Page 3

With the 1330, you're paying more for style than anything. Many more practical choices (the best being Rich's Asus).

I couldn't afford Rich's laptop right now anyways.

I've gotta save my money for this baby...and that means I'm looking at least 6-8 months down the road here. Who knows? I may just change my mind again!:evil:

You could almost buy two tricked out dv6700t's for the price of one XPS 1330. Ah well, what's the point. It would seem as though your mind is made up on a laptop that is nearly inferior in every way compared to an ASUS G1 or dv6700t.

saaaaaaaaaager
btw if its down the road, we're all speculating anyway, i bet prices'll keep dropping.
I just wish HP'll start offering better GPUs than GS models -_-;;

If I go HP, I can get a 30% discount cause I work for McDonalds.

WhiteEagle · May 14th, 2008

I'm going HP now, cause Dell is dumping it's XPS line.

Oh well, at least I know I'll be able to afford more laptop for the same dollars after my 30% discount.

WhiteEagle, GET THE HDX!!! it comes with the 8800GTS!!! lol
Nah honestly the DV6xxx series from HP'll be the best of both worlds thing. Portable, and still strong enough for 90% of games out there. Just don't try playin crysis.
DV9x00 series is really the same thing as the 6x00 series but a 17inch screen and optional 8600GS. Which tbh, both the 8400 and 8600 prob perform the same with HP's downclock of both @_@

*Edit*
not getting involved in what happens above this @@

Crysis!?! Are you nuts? I don't even play games that powerful on my media center PC!

The most powerful game I'm gonna play on my laptop is C&C3: Tiberium Wars. (I rock at single-player matches with a record of 10-2

!)

azianai · May 15th, 2008

lol i ran crysis on my notebook, wasn't pretty @_@
here's my 3dMark06 score from my notebook lol

now my dv9500t aint a weak notebook, but it doesn't compare as you can see.

Well, I went and bought myself a 4GB Asus Eee Notebook PC. It runs so sweet, and I love it.
