Laptop

Im after a new laptop computer and was woundering if anyone on here can get cheap deals?

Of course im after the cheaps most powerfull with the bigest screen!

Pm me if you can help

Thanks

JB hifi do some good deals, just bought an ACER for $600

i would recomend PB technologies, they seem to be the cheapest and have good stuff

Could of got yay one for cost if was in NZ... like aqua said go to JB and just offer them a stupidly low price and negotiate from there. www.pricespy.co.nz would give you a good indication for pricing. go for some thing with an I3,5,7 CPU they will get the job done nicely. BTW stay away from dell, there build quality has gone down over the last couple of years. HP are making very solid laptops ATM

Thanks guys...Looks like im going for an hp compaq from pbtech site.

Thanks for your input

I wasn't going to say much as most stuff you get these days is pretty good so its hard to go wrong, BUT HP stuff is shit. Just last year we had about a 50% failure rate in the HP range. Avoid HP/Compaq.
In my experience the Dell stuff is good and cheap, and if it does fuck out they will send someone onsite to fix it. You will have to talk to someone in Bangladesh, but it will get sorted.
As for ACER, if it dies...and it probably will then getting it fixed is a right pain in the arse.
PB tech are a good place to go though.
I'd recommend Lenovo (which are IBM), Dell and Toshiba. There are other less known brands like ASUS which are good bang for buck too.

Bring on summer, gotta be rough when the talk here turns to geek.

Yep, stay away from HP/Compaq....

they are cheap Compaqs with HP stickers on them...

At my lat job we went from HP -> Toshiba -> Dell and found in the end that Dell was lasting the best of them all.

Yeah our hp just shat itself beyond repair, hey why dont you get a transonic tv from the warehouse while your there Tofa :lol:

Thanks guys for confusing the shit out of me lol...But got it sorted now so thanks for all you advice.

And as for JBhifi i rang them and asked about the acer $600 deal and the guy said No way dude stay away from that one...He reconds he only sells them to retarded sales reps that think they are getting a good deal lol.

Im off to the warehouse to hook me up some transonic!

Mate, if you want cheap and reliable then go this - its basic, but will do what you want sweet as. Its about as cheap a deal you will get for a half decent PC: http://pbtech.co.nz/index.php?item=NBKLEN5835

Otherwise, get an entry level dell from the dell web site.

Buying an Acer is a gamble, a good chance it will bite you.

Your all homos. Bring back the Russian.

The Acer was paid for by my employer so i dont give a fukin rats ass if it lasts a week, i hate fukin piece of shit computers anyway, hence the reason i cant use them but i can ride a ski better than anyone else on here except for Tayne, losers :evil:

Sorry aquahomo,aren't you forgetting about a certain race at lake rotoma lol

hp/sony/acer had them all and have all fuckd out.acer was a fucker around to get fixed.hp after pissing me off and doing funny things is now unfixable and sony had to be fixd and loaded up with windows 7 after having vista .im yet to try dell as iv herd they ant to bad for your money.try get one with window7 on it i think its way better and faster then vista.

Dell sounds like a good deal...order on line and they dell-iver it to you.Hard drive packed up after about a year,rang them up..no worries..they sent a new one free of charge.Been good ever since.

if ur worried bout havin problems dont cheep out its like any thing... buy a macbook pro (apple) way differant opperating system and weird at first but once ur use to them there the shit, theres online help (videos) to show u how to work it after that there simple as to use. who wudda thought so many replys on a jetski wedsite for laptops

Yeah Knoxie get rid of this shite
