The Blackangel Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Either way, the best you can get is an HP. Unless you’re going specifically for a gaming laptop. Anything else and HP is the best you can get. Also stay as far away from anything Dell as you can get. Dell is the most pathetic excuse for any form of computer in existence. They never work, and only cost you money that you’re never going to see again. I was constantly having to fix the damn things at the technical school when I was in HS before I dropped out. I kept telling them to get HP systems, but the district had some kind of contracts with Dell. But I heard that after the contracts expired they threw the worthless things in the trash and signed on with a worthwhile brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of people have been using tablets and gotten away from PC and laptops This depends on the main purpose of the PC and what your budget is. If you can kindly provide this information, I can give you personal recommendations for specifications, brands and Laptops that best suit your needs. I use a PC, an acer Laptop to be more specific.

killamch89 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I do have a gaming laptop but it depends on what you do with it. For instance, in addition to gaming, I do edit videos and some graphic design and whiteboard animation work. Laptops are very portable but the downside is that they're expensive to fix and you typically can't do it yourself unless you're a pro at it.

Since then I had no more gaming laptops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen how shipping companies handle "fragile" items - Sometimes, I wonder if I was begging them to ship it or did I pay out of my own pocket because of how they treat very fragile items.

It was the weather or climate to also to blame, just think about it being on a shipping container going from point a to b over the seas and how old and wet it can be, and that can me or made the chip failed. Then again no idea it was failing before. Shocking part that I did not able to get a replacement or insurance claim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking part that I did not able to get a replacement or insurance claim Yeah - it's best to pay for the coverage package when buying a gaming laptop at that price because it'll save you in the long run. I know most companies don't offer a replacement package with your gaming laptop - it's usually optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnot even have that option, I mean it's already almost two years old and would you think that insurance that I had, insurance that covers all should coved it. In fact we had many items that got brokern 😞 and the insurance was like, Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh sorry... we can't. Turns out we sent information t them, waiting weeks and months then they said that our insurance expired. They all in it to make money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
