766284 2009-04-19 06:42:00 Probably looking at $2200+.

Look for ASUS and Toshiba ones. Dell is also good.

766285 2009-04-19 06:46:00 I've found this
qmb.co.nz

and

www.trademe.co.nz

there less than 2200 and better than what Im looking for.

766286 2009-04-19 06:47:00 Don't buy computers from TradeMe. ever. Or buy Acers, ever.

The warranties aren't likely to be good - the HP's is 6 months, jack all - and it's been demoed. :)

The processor in the trade me link isn't very good at all, Go for Intel. Also, for for a 2 year warranty if you can.

I'm sure that GFX card is weaker than my 8600gt so it is a no no.

766288 2009-04-19 09:21:00 Although the HP warranty might not be great for the price it seems worth it... hueybot3000 (3646)
766289 2009-04-19 10:50:00 what do yous think about the qmb link i posted? I probably could afford that, is it worth it? Darryl (5097)
766290 2009-04-19 11:19:00 I guess the helpfull people here are wondering if you want a cheap laptop or a decent one .. so I take it that your budget is $1800 and you'd like to know what sort of decent laptop you can get for that money ..? Ofthesea (14129)
766291 2009-04-19 11:25:00 Yeah basically, nothing over 1800, I don't want a media laptop tho, I want one for software such as Borland Delphi, FruitLoops, Traktor. Also gaming and I mean online gaming so has to be a fast comp. Don't want one that has unnessary things either. Darryl (5097)
