Which laptop to buy?

<p>Far Cry 1?</p>

<p>I’m sorta confused…</p>

<p>I play Far cry on my desktop with low settings, but only cuz I never bothered to switch to high…
and my desktop is old</p>

<p>If you mean Far Cry 2, then, yeah, uber awesomeness</p>

<p>that game is sick</p>

<p>Just purchased a Sony FW 490 w P8800 Processor; 4 gb memory; 1 gb dedicated video memory (could be very important); blueray; 1080 HD 16.4" screen; and just under $1,000.</p>

<p>A very nice package.</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>lol </p>

<p>I talked to my parents about using financial aid money for the laptop, but apparently they don’t want me to get a good one, they’re afraid I’ll spend too much time gaming in college…</p>

<p>haha thats what my parents were at first but I won them over by saying that cheap laptop will last 1-2 years. While the high end ones will last me throughout undergrad. I didn’t lie and they are letting me get some expensive laptop now.</p>

<p>And Im only planning to game after i finish my homework! maybe :D</p>

<p>I really don’t get how laptops die…</p>

<p>Usually the battery dies, but that can be replaced</p>

<p>I’m guessing the processor gets screwed over because of heat, but as far as I can tell it needs to get really really hot</p>

<p>is it usually abrupt, or some sort of slow decay</p>

<p>Out of all parts processor has the longest lifetime :wink:
What i meant by 1-2 years is that I wouldn’t be able to run new games and I would be looking to upgrade in like 2 years. </p>

<p>Laptop going dead is sudden. It can work fine yesterday and 1 part fail the next morning. Especially if you have a high end laptop, you need to watch the temperature so it doesn’t go over the safe zone.</p>

<p>lol yeah, I’ve had that happen to me before.</p>

<p>I’m buying a cooler so I’ll be ok</p>

<p>seeing what computer I’ve used for the last several years, I’m not concerned about its ability to keep up with games</p>

<p>I just like the option of being able to play new games after i pirate them lol</p>

<p>Lol</p>

<p>I’m really picky when it comes to games so there aren’t many out there that interest me</p>

<p>get a life ppl</p>

<p>screw off, seriously</p>

<p>hahaha wow</p>

<p>how come no one is getting a mac?</p>

<p>overpriced and not compatible with bunch of application. Also dual booting with windows is bit iffy as well.</p>

<p>dude, macs are very good, i wouldnt say superior because every brand has its pros and cons. but macs are very reliable and durable- thats a fact.</p>

<p>its just the price If a Mac is 1200 and windows is 800 and has the same feature its still going to do the same thing why waste the 400 dollars to join the Mac Cult</p>

<p>exactly, All Mac has is that clean look, longer battery life and a bit more portability. About being reliable and durable, it depends on how the owner is taking care of the laptop. </p>

<p>I rather take a Windows to save money, run more intensive programs, and to know that what I have is universal.</p>

<p>I heard that Mac owns like 91 percent of the market for computers over 1000 dollars…</p>

<p>I’m guessing when people have a good budget they want something different than a PC…</p>

<p>yeah but people dont know that when you buy a Mac you are Buying from Bill Gates. The reason Microsoft owns 20% or so of Mac</p>
