thinking about getting a laptop

[Rampage.]

something with a 15 inch screen or more , AMD, and with 512 ram, so someone find me something nice, i found some, but i want to see what you guys recommend

[Erik]

I don't recommend at all actually lol. I bought one with my graduation money and very limited on things you can do after you buy it.

Once I figure out a system to manage and save moeny. I'm going to buy a desktop again

Keep away from Dell, Compaq, etc they are sh*t. They have more repairs needed than any other laptop around.

If you want my advice, get an evesham 17inch with a 3.0ghz processer, they are pretty reliable and we only get around 1-2 back per week for repairs whereas Dell, etc we get 60-80 per week.

I work at a company called Mitac (Europe)

They do all the repairs etc, Thats just my 2cents.

im thinking of getting one..

[Scott]

Laptops with amd are hard to find.. I got an Acer and I love it, all except the graphics is intergrated so games do not run well. If you want graphics I would get at least an ati x300, x700 or radeon 9600/700 if you can find it..

But I can do almost everything with my laptop except games..

Sam's Club has some cheap and powerful Lappies. Check out their site.

Hmm, I have a Dell laptop, never once have ever had a problem with it, and it's a P3 600mhz, so that's about 5 years now.

I think it's the dumb asses owning the laptops that are the reason you get them back. Statistically, Dell will be more known than evesham, so more stupid (as in pc ignorant) people buy them, therefore more returns from Dell laptops.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1000 and I bought for school..never had problems but the damn thing is like outdated brand new compared to others lol. Never going dell again...I'll stick to HP
