Build Your Own Gaming Notebook
Which new laptop should I buy on Boxing Day?
It's difficult to see all my options, so I'm asking the community! Which laptop should I buy on Boxing Day? The "MSI M6275-419US Notebook" is roughly what I am looking for in a PC. Here's the link : http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5536346&csid=ITD&body=MAIN I found the following checklist on a notebookreview forum, General Questions: 1) What is your budget? Maximum of $1000 with taxes included. Less is always better, and on Boxing Day it should be reasonably less. 2) What size notebook would you prefer? 15" - 16" is fine. I'm not really too particular. 3) Please select your country's flag as a post icon and tell us what country are you buying this in. Canada 4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like? I'm not picky. As long as it generally has good reviews. 5) What tasks will you be performing with the notebook? Gaming (so a dedicated video card is nice. It would be cool to be able to play games like Left For Dead 2, but that's hard to find for under $1000 I think), MS Word, Streaming 6) Will you be taking the notebook with you to different places or leaving it on your desk? Occasionally, but that's not a big deal. 7) Will you be playing games on it; if so, which games? Left For Dead 2, Warcraft 3, newer games if possible 8) How many hours of battery life do you need? Minimal; this is not that important to me. 9) Do you mind buying online without seeing the notebook in person? I buy online often. 10) What OS do you prefer? Windows (XP or Vista), Mac OS, Linux, etc. Windows 7 preferred ! Screen Specifics: 11) Would you prefer standard or widescreen? Widescreen 12) From the choices below, what screen resolutions would you prefer? Higher resolution is better, right? Widescreen preferred 13) Do you want a glossy/reflective screen or a matte/non-glossy screen? Matte/non-glossy preferred, but it doesn't really matter. Build Quality and Design: 14) Are the notebook's looks and stylishness important to you? No 15) When are you buying this laptop and how long do you want this laptop to last? During boxing day sales, and it should last for 3 years minimum Notebook Components 16) How much hard drive space do you want; 40GB to 200GB? More is better 17) Do you need an optical drive? If yes, a DVD, Blu-Ray or HD-DVD drive? DVD burner Please state any additional features you need. It's also helpful if you can indicate how experienced you are with computers. If you're a novice and don't know how to answer some questions just say so! 2 gb would be nice, but I can upgrade later if itcosts too much to include it. RAM is often cheaper when you pout it in yourself ! I know more than most of my friends about computers, and know most of the lingo, but can't be considered a guru. I have built a few desktop pcs in the past. Thanks again! I am looking forward to the recommendations! Happy Holidays, eh!
