In need of a new laptop...whats the latest goodness

[Mitch]

Yer 256GB isn't enough storage when working with large amounts of music files and FL projects.

However an SSD for the OS and another HDD for all your data works a treat. Thats how i run my desktop

[Bonz]

cheers Raptor is the one wit the 640gb SSD as well ?

[Bonz]

actually just realised u cant get an SSD that big.

do u know what speed that 640gb is?

[GREMM1S]

Not sure you will really need an ssd for production?

Hi Bonz,

its not an SSD (but you can get SSD's that large if needed).

Its a 7200rpm drive.

[Bonz]

Gremmy I don't need an ssd for production but also production isn't all about ur DAW use at the end of the day.

But yeh its not necessary but wouldn't mind having it!

Raptor 7200 next best thing..

Thanks dood!

I think the Asus and the Toshiba are on top.

Plus the Asus has 16gb ram which is overkill but nothin' wrong with th

[Bonz]

Who reckons the Asus

And

Who thinks the Toshiba.

?????

[Kodiak]

Asus - 1080p screen, bluray, ram, backlit keyboard and apparently higher quality built in speakers. Doesn't cost much more than the toshiba and has those positives.

[DJ_Raptor]

I've never had much luck with the Asus in regards to warranty issues so thats one reason why I personally like the Toshibas

[GREMM1S]

Have had asus laptops and pc components without a failure over the years, they are my favourite vendor.

[Bonz]

Raptor, that's unfortunate dood..i have an Asus at the moment and its been a winner.

But I think so far I've gotta agree with DRC1 and GREMMIS.

and DRC1 I thought the Asus was cheaper anyway.

under 1400 wasn't it?? (on my phone)

[SolDios]

Apart from it being a samsung and you saying they don't have good warranty, this is has quite a good price for the features.

hehe ysm im goin all the way to the top! hehe jks.

[SolDios]

There warranty is rubbish though apparently, and they sell alot of lemons too apparently.

Went in and saw the physical thing today, the build quality doesn't seem bad though.

right on.

to be honest i didnt even know samsung were in the game until last start of this year.

but yeah havent heard the best things about them.

[GREMM1S]

No to samsung laptops kids, rubbish.

I will do a search for some models tonight for ya bonze.

Are you planning on take it out alot or more at home?

[Bonz]

ahh thanks gremmy

wont be moved alot but it will be moved.

but majority of the time at home.

thats why i was lookin more at a 15"

[lloydc]

i'm in the same boat as you bonz.... so much stuff out there, and it's confusing

mind = full of fuck

[Bonz]

Hehe yeh, its like ur right into it when ur buying one and then once u got it, u know nothing of all the new shit that's come out.

What are u after lloyd?

[lloydc]

i was initially after something that was better than what i have (anything is better).... but then i figured I may aswell get something decent.

i'd like a gaming ultrabook essentially.... they don't really exist.

i'd prefer to fork out for something with a decent screen

[SolDios]

The dell XPS 13 are powerful loydc and quite light compact! Have a look!

What about the Asus one I found for Bonz? Full HD screen. Not sure on video card cause for Bonz's purpose was irrelevant. But gaming laptops cost a fortune (compared to equivalent desktop).

[Bonz]

yeah lloyd the asus one that drc1 found is solid dood.

but yeah the alienware gaming ones are ridiculously priced.

so i take it u want something like a 17" screen?

[SolDios]

Talked to my local friend who works in jb IT today, said Samsung where fine, he has only ever had 2 problems with the hundreds he has sold. Also he said if something goes wrong, best option is to take em straight to your local authorized service center.
