| 704402 | 2008-09-11 06:27:00 | I found this (pbtech.co.nz) one to be the best value-it is a bit more expensive at $1350 but it was the cheapest one I could find with a reasonable good graphics card, and the CPU is bloody fast, and don't forget the useful sideshow feature too. The next one I would recommend is this (pbtech.co.nz) one with a pretty fast cpu and being toshiba it should be pretty reliable. It does have a very bad graphics card thought. This (pbtech.co.nz) final one is the cheapest at $1125 but once again has a slow graphics card. It has a C2D CPU and a 250gb HDD so its not bad value. Hope this helps!:) Blam |

| 704403 | 2008-09-11 22:09:00 | girlfriend has put it upon me to choose what laptop to get her Basically, 1k budget. give or take a hundy What is important is: -Warranty, if this thing craps out then we don't want to be stuck with a boat anchor -CPU, really after a C2D -GPU, 8600m GT would be delicious, but something decent eh. All ASUS laptops have a 2 yr standard warranty and at least you know they have mostly ASUS parts in them. Which with the others may vary enormously. And thats what makes a PC reliable - what brand the PARTS are, not its label on the outside. Toshiba have 2 types, the 1 yr warranty ones I'm less keen on and the 3yr warranty ones which rarely have a problem. The downside of that is the 3 yr models are genarlly way more than $1000. So I'd go with the ASUS. And use Techmaster for warranty and non-warranty support, not ASUS repair centre. Much better. |
