Soo I really suck with computers and tech stuff. But I need a laptop. Any recommendations?
2x now I went into the store and asked t see the 4 cheapest models.

Then I picked from those. Don't waste money on something that will be obsolete in 6 mos.

As long as you aren't playing the online games even the cheap ones come with more crap than you'll use.

Yeah, its brutal. But I am trying to do all my studying over the course of 3.5 days a week so I can enjoy my weekends. I have/had 3 ball tourney's in 3 weeks beginning just this past weekend, so I am still enjoying my summer that way.

Missing Calgary at all? :P

So you say to buy the cheap ones but then say don't waste your money on something that will be obsolete soon. I'm guessing you don't mean the cheap ones will be obsolete soon, but then what are you referring to?

IMO, one of the best thing to do is to look up the various models online and read the reviews and ratings on them. Sometimes the employees at stores write reviews, but they are usually pretty obvious because they are super positive and give 5 stars.

The sales people in the store can help you out sometimes but a lot of the time they will just feed you b.s. to try to get you to buy it so it's definitely wise to do your own research before you buy 1.

Yeah I've been doing that for a bit and will keep doing my research. I never buy anything expensive without doing my research.


Touch screen laptop? Stay far away.

Oh seriously? But it was so cool :laugh:

It's cool, but not practical. I wouldn't purchase something like that yet, especially not if it's your first laptop

Its to bad it didn't work out that you and your woman couldn't go back to Ontario at the same time. She was over here fairly recently, no?

Yeah she was here a few weeks ago .. It does suck, but at the same time it's nice to be just spending time with my dad and family

Don't get a touch screen laptop, just don't :laugh:

What's your price range? You looking to be able to buy it from a store near you or would online be an option for you?
