| 1202718 | 2011-05-17 06:43:00 | My computer is great for school work, but the most recently released games are just too much for it to handle :annoyed:. I was hoping to sell it and get a little cash to go towards a new computer. I doubt I'll scrape up enough money though. You can't get anything worth while for under $1200 :( Well, here's my specs from what I can tell (I don't know where to find detailed specs. If you need more, please tell me how to find them and I'll be glad to get them for you.) 2007 Hp Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-72 2.10 GHz Processor 4 GB RAM I know this is practically nothing, but (as you can probably tell) I'm a complete beginner at this stuff :confused:. ANY help is appreciated greatly. P.S.- If someone has and extra few thousand dollars that they don't have any use for, you would make me extremely happy :] |

Best to compare similar models on Trademe - NOT the ones for sale, the already sold ones - that gives you an idea of it's actual current market value. Not to mention, with a desktop - not only will it have what you need, you don't ever have to toss it - just upgrade parts of it every now and then. Works out cheaper and it just evolves. Something you can't do with laptops. |

| 1202720 | 2011-05-18 03:59:00 | About the laptop vs. desktop issue, a desktop is out of the question. I'm constantly traveling between different houses (about every 4 days). I've given up on selling my current laptop. From what I'v read here and on other sites, it's not worth anything amazing and it would be better just to have a spare if I ever need one. However, I still need a new laptop for gaming. I have about $1000 to $1100. I know it's not much, but it's what I have. The only things I know to get are an intel i5 processor and and some sort of good nivida graphics card. The best computer I've found so far is the Satellite A665-S6100X. Do you think this computer is worth it? |

Do you think this computer is worth it? The Satellite A665-S6100X is appropriate for gaming, it only has the Sandy Bridge integrated graphic . . . . . Have a look at this review, it shows current modem laptops with integrated and dedicated gpus . . . the SB integrated is listed as HD3000 . . . anandtech . com/show/4339/cyberpower-x6-9300-msi-gt680r-mobile-gaming/6" target="_blank">www . anandtech . com |
