Which laptop to buy ?

Hi guys. im planning to buy a laptop. just wondering whats a good brand and model i should get? budget is around AUD$1500 ~ $1800

Im kinda looking at toshiba and HP mainly.

Im looking at the HP Pavilion DV6755TX, core 2 duo 2.4GHz 3GB ram 250GB HDD around (AUD$1700) http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/au/en/ho/WF06b/1090709-1116637-1116665-1116665-1116665-81136544-81672899.html.

what you guys think?

 

ps if u wanna get a laptop remember to check how long the laptop can last from
b4 charging it up again...

 

I don't really like HP... but yeah, thats a personal beef. xD;

I think for a cheap laptop that's pretty durable just go for a Dell laptop like Dell Inspiron if you aren't looking to spend more than 1200CAD. and XPS M1530 isn't bad either just a tad more expensive. =)

 

l have a toshiba laptop. when l first bought it was all good and stuff but now the batter life is like dying to just 1h(from 3) which is kinda gya

 

Well, battery life isn't constant. It will die eventually and you will have to get it replaced. =|

Dell has a lot better battery power, I find. It can get up to 6 - 9 hours of battery life depending on which one you buy... and you can always buy a back-up battery if you're constantly using it without an outlet.

 

if you are going to use the laptop as a desktop you might as well take out the battery and plug it into netpower. that way youll save up recharges on the battery. more blife

 

i have an announcement.

i hate vaois and macs.

my announcement is done.

 

Ehh, never heard of NetPower, how do you work it exactly.. looks like a big silicon chip. xD;

Lol. Macs and Vaios are ultraportable though. xD; And they look nice. I don't get the hype with Macs though. =| They're overpriced for what they can do.

have a look into the ASUS range

 

i love vaio's and macs, but im more of a form over function type of guy

 

lol on the z series and the air are "ultraportables" in their lines dude and they are in the $2,000+ range....i'm sure other manufacturers have their own version of the ultraportable...like lenovo and such.

 

I know there are other ultraportables other than MacBook Air and Vaio, I was just focusing on those two based on that guy's comments.

 

he only said he hated vaio and mac...nothing about ultraportables or anything else hahaha.....alright i'll stop fucking with ya.:laugh2:

 

bang for the buck lenovo/ibm hp and dell's...if your more for form and WOW factor macs are for you

toshiba's in the past years have lost market and their laptops have began to lose quality also i'd stay away from them

 

two ranges which i wont touch actually .... They look fugly in my opinion, i wouldnt personally want to carry a Dell or Acer around. They seem great for value and function wise though i must agree

 

dell and acer are pretty bad. The plastic is like all flimsy -_-2

 

only for the home division the latitude's are built very well a lot better than some of the other brands of laptops and they constantly have deals going for them.

on the other hand sony released their CR series which not too bad and easy on the pocketbook also
