| 316273 | 2005-01-21 01:46:00 | My partner is looking for a laptop that will do all the things that she wants, you know word,e-mail,internet and spider solitaire. I've put my foot down and said NO. We need something with some grunt as I like to play games on my desktop pc(solitaire doesn't cut it for me). We are going over to Europe in March and want something before then peferably with a international warranty. Asus has a two year international warranty,but I think I get more for my buck from Dell.But I have been told that you can only use Dell parts to expand or replace. I know I need a separate graphics card, but what is better? and Dse told me that a card with shared memory will perform as well a a card with dedicated memory as long as the system has enough ram. I'm looking to spend about $3000, and a centrino as the battery life is longer for any flights we are on. |

The salesperson was doing what he's trained to --- sell. I would imagine that asus is propriatry parts orientated in laptops as well (the nature of the beasts) so that shouldn't be an issue in your choice |

| 316276 | 2005-01-21 02:55:00 | Where has it gone? Well....Its right where i left it, In the identical thread that was made in the off topic forum. pressf1.pcworld.co.nz For those that missed it... What you need to do is go out into the backyard,select a nice strong stick,return to Dick Smith,Poke the salesman in the eye with it,Then use it to crack him over the head. I would burst a vein if a salesman gave me such bad advice in relation to a $3000 purchase. |
