Help me buy a laptop!

Ok if i had enough money i wouldnt even ask cuz i know what i like :smiley: Sony! But since i am not wanting to spend more than 35k on it, i have gathered few options. Please help me select the best from the lot as i have no knowledge about whats good in laptops. All i know is i am gonna use it with a pen tablet to design (adobe photoshop) n ofcourse surf the net.

Please help :slight_smile:

It’s me again :slight_smile:

since I recently bought a laptop so I’m tempted to respond.

I would advise u to raise ur budget a little and you can get a decent machine like this one:

or if the above is not available, then go for this one:

I would advise not to go for laptops with Intel atom processors as those processors are very basic and I doubt they will let you run Photoshop.

I bought a laptop with dual core processor and it runs everything perfectly, so I would go for the one in the first link.

BYW, your blog is still public :slight_smile:

Re: Help me buy a laptop!

They are selling VERY costly. Same model same thing I am getting here ALMOST around the half price. LIKE COMPAQ CQ61-300 for 215 Euros and there its like 40K :confused:

Although I would have selected DELL but for the price range you gave they are all minis and I dont want you to select mini if you really want to buy a good thing

Although ACER ASPIRE 5517-5136 seems fine.
or you can also try DELL MINI 10-M11B/P/R/BLU

Re: Help me buy a laptop!

H.P …

Thank you all for confusing me more. Lol, i should have stressed on the fact that i have no idea about the processors n all those fancy stuff. So yah, just tell me what to pick within the budget.

Where wl i find/get better prices? What do you mean by minis and why would u pick DELL?

Re: Help me buy a laptop!

Dont BUY CELERON

actually I really have no idea about Pakistani market! So I cant say where you can buy at better price.

About MINI mean those that mostly act like Netbook and not like a notebook. Less powerful Processor.

Why dell because I may have mentioned it before I do repair laptops too as my hobby. I rarely get dell that may have any major problem from stability till hardware functionality. So I would prefer dell from the selections you gave.

Aah, now all that makes sense. Thanks :). I think i have heard good things about DELL before too but somehow i always like Sony, i guess cuz it luks the best?!.

Thanks again.

Re: Help me buy a laptop!

^^ My personal best is IBM. Although that one is too serious looking machine :smiley:

I prefer the performance than the looks.

Some dell models also had problems although we are talking about majority so I will say dell as if your budget and the listing you provided.

Re: Help me buy a laptop!

waisay to stay away from ATOM or CELERON processors, however Maham if you are buying a system for graphics then might i suggest you look in to MACs they are undeniably the best when it comes to usage for graphics :k:

Re: Help me buy a laptop!

Let me describe in simpler words, you may bit be able to run Photoshop in any of the minis.

Re: Help me buy a laptop!

Compaq still exists?

i thought they only make Business laptops as part of HP…hmm..

Maham S. instead of laptop i would recommend netbook for you.

Re: Help me buy a laptop!

thank u all… its too much info for me, let me go thru it again n i wl ask more question if there be a need for it.

Re: Help me buy a laptop!

If you may can add around 9-10K more you can get a really good stuff like this:

http://www.beliscity.com/laptops_browse_laptops_by_brand_view_all_laptops/c15_129_1533/p24317/lenovo_g550_59026095/product_info.pakistan.html

although it has DOS as OS (the price of the windows oem not added). You can get pirated windows on it :stuck_out_tongue:

running photoshop on a netbook - :smack:

Re: Help me buy a laptop!

DNT confuse me more :frowning: U guyz!!! Think like a girl. Lol.

Re: Help me buy a laptop!

^^

Dont go for Netbooks, Dont buy Celeron, Atom.

Actually you can run photoshop on Dell M6400 i7 duel core 2.66 GHz.

I got my cintiq and I am planning to buy that along with other junky stuff like Photoshop CS5 and so on.

EDIT: Make the following.

-Photoshop CS 5
-Paint Tool SAI
-Zbrush
-Sculptris
-SoftimageXSI
-VisualStudio.NET

and so on with no lag issues or crash issues.

Re: Help me buy a laptop!

^ kewl… that machine may be able to handle it like you said, but generally speaking, most netbooks are limited in their hardware resources to offer a smooth end-user experience for graphics manipulation purposes, and also, people who use programs like photoshop typically appreciate larger screen sizes and all.

Noted that down. Thanks again.

Yah that does make sense. Thnx.

I am having my bil help me with my laptop search. I hope we can find something good and i will raise my budget a little bit.
