Laptops...

[Doron]

Yes, I know, two threads on one day is spamming, but actually, I need help (I know, right?)

So, for coming up school year, I want to have a laptop instead of walking around with a bag full of books. As it is easyer to take with you instead of all those damn books, loose papers, notebooks, and all that shizz you always take with you.

But then I came to a little problem:
I have no idea what sort of laptop I should take, what brand, how big the screen should be, what a normal memory on one is, and all that suff..

So yes... I'm asking for help, SRF. Especially to dutch people who are going through MBO, HBO or University, to see what's more popular here.

HALP PL0X!

[Saberdude]

how can you not like carrying books?!?
laptops are for loosers

[Hellraider]

For studying you're gonna look for a fair amount of RAM memory, since you're sometimes gonna use a lot of programs at the same time, take 15' / 15.4' screens since 17' is waaaaaaaaay too big, everyone takes 15' / 15.4' in my class

A mid-range dual core processor is good enough, graphics card doesn't matter unless you plan on playing games during school

[Sylar]

15' is perfect, and i like the dell laptops with a high RAM, perfect for making school tasks.

[XMoshe]

I use a Asus with a T7250 core 2 duo processor, 3 gig of DDR2 ram and some onbaord 128mb vid card which can be boosted to 896mb with the ram memory and its working perfectly

It's a 15.4 inch screen btw.

Just go to this link and insert what kind of specs you want .

Wil je nog meer hulp, pm me maar en ik zal mn best doen om je te helpen ^_^

15/15.4 or 18 inch..Thats a few kg difference and if you gotta carry it with you for a whole day.

Sure if I got a laptop for home I'd also get a 17 inch or something...But than I'd rather buy a desktop...

i've got this asus a7t for about 2 years now
http://nl.asus.com/products.aspx?modelm ... 3=291&l4=0

i used to have an a6k before it. i love asus for their screens, the design
of the laptop and the service. and besides that, they're decent laptops and
with this one i've never had any problems. the only thing i don't really
like about this laptop is that it makes a lot of noise when i run multiple
programs. don't get me wrong, it can run things easily, it just has to cool
a lot. the weight is allright. i carried it around every day, and i'm still
alive. the bigger laptops however, the 20" ones, weigh 7.8kg. that's without
the bag, so idk if i'd carry that around each day <_<.

getting a 15.4" or a 17" completely depends on your study IMO. if you have
to work with a lot of 3d/2d modelling programs, then it's just nice to have
a big screen. i was actually thinking of getting a 20" laptop, but i'm going
for a desktop instead lol.

besides asus, i also like the sony vaio design. yeah, i'm talking about the
design of the laptop, because on the inside most of them are quite similar.
the vaio's look really sleak. if you're going to study, then also ask around
on your school if there's any discounts on laptops. a lot of my classmates
bought a laptop with "special student discount". (it was regular discount lol,
they still paid way too much for the thing and it wasn't all that good, but
you can at least ask if there's anything you can buy through your study.)

[CrimsonNuker]

You mean you wanna take notes on your laptop instead of loose leaf? XD!

[Doron]

okay.. now in english please?? I'm sorry, I'm such a no-tech person that I just have no idea what you all were talking about....

no, I mean all that ram and processor thingy.. I dunno what that all is, and if it's good or bad...

[cin]

well my laptop has 2gb ram. that was the standard like 2 years ago
when i bought it. nowadays 3gb is more and more the standard, and
4gb is for people who like to have more than others lol. and most
laptops dont run the full 4gb anyway because the 32bit OS use max
3,2gb of ram. anywho, the amount of ram needed kinda depends on
what you're planning to do with your laptop. could you give us a
couple of hints on what kind of study you will be taking etc.?

oh, and about processors, mine was one of the early dual cores,
if the core2duo was an option i would have taken that one. the
intel processors are usually a bit stronger than the amd ones.
my processor runs at 1,8 ghz, idk what the standard on that is
now.

I'm going for International Tourism Studies, I'll be in class five days a week, speaking and writing a lot of english, and also a lot of SRF.

Also a lot of assignments and stuff like that..

so I need a slaptop!

[cin]

ok then i'd go for a 15.4", not a big one

[Priam]

Als je hem gewoon voor je studie gaat gebruiken, moet je voor 15,4" gaan. Mooie grootte voor alles wat je opnoemt.

Verder hangt het er vanaf hoeveel geld je wil uitgeven.

Acer is een A-merk, en redelijk geprijst, betrouwbaar. Ga geen Dell halen, wel goed spul, maar als er wel iets is, dan zit je ook echt aan Dell vast, en hun service zuigt.

Verder heb je HP en Compaq, compaq was vroeger altijd superslecht, maar HP heeft ze overgenomen en dus heb je nu een goede laptop voor weinig geld.

Als je wat meer wil uitgeven, en niet windows verslaafd bent, zou ik toch voor een apple gaan, veruit de meest gebruikte laptop op mijn school. (hoge school van Amsterdam, Amstelstation. c.a. 15000 leerlingen daar).

Ik heb altijd een Acer gehad, en toen een HP, omdat ik toen nog geen geld had voor een Mac. Die heb ik nu inmiddels wel.

[StealMySoda]

You can always go for one of those fancy tablet pc's where you can spin the screen around and write flat on the screen like a piece of paper.

I was very close to buying a Tablet, but then. Like. People kept telling me that the practicality of the thing was way lacking. That you would be.

Your whole story is correct, but I have to add one more brand-name.

Alienware, but I suggest only buying that if you also want to game on it a lil and if you have enough money, because they're 2000 euro's easily.

As for the Mac laptops, tell me, how much is the cheapest Mac laptop?

Veel succes Ice

[cin]

Alienware, but I suggest only buying that if you also want to game on it a lil

lol they so over the top O.o more a gadget than a laptop IMHO.
look at the asus laptops too. i love em.

[Shimrod]

I have a DELL Latitude D630. Use it for work and other stuff. Works perfectly

[whiteraven]

i ordered this one yesterday

acer aspire 6920G - (product number) 6A4G25MN (i searched for 2 days for best laptop (999$ or below) and this one is in my opinion best price/quality,, bassed my opinion on what would be the best for gaming xD)

16 inch,, screen never to big :O xD

lol geen zin om hett in nederlands te gaan vertalen :o zie maar xD

Alienware looks iid nice but those prices are unreal for a school laptop. Mine was 840 euro.

Ik stel me niet aan hoor...Tis niet dat ik het niet kan dragen, maar tussen 15/15.4" en 18" zit zeker wel verschil in qua gewicht en qua formaat rugzak

[Draquish]

Ja, het spatten Spartaanse laser bunyeon webcam alienware film spectaculaire prijs vijf euro toetsenbord bananen spin stoel doof.

[Doron]

Draquis, when you go dutch, I have to throw it in a translator to see what it is in english before I know wtf your talking about..

rest: Soda, nice a laptop I can write on...

Cin: Asus?? my sis has got one, but when I measue the screen it's 14 inch, so I was like, wtf?

Or is the measring diagonally?

anyways, thnx Priam, helps a lot.. but.. how much does an Apple cost these days?

Leon, I don't really game that much, unless you mean those games you play for 5 mins and then sick of it, on those little kill-time game sites like spelletjes.nl, funnygames.nl, and that sorta thingz..

Bomb Jack <3

Anyways, Dell, good or bad? Shimrd says yes, Priam says no. who'se word do I take? It's not like I'm all that technical, so when I kill my laptop, I've really killed it, and maybe some geeks on the electronics department of my school could fix it for me, but still...

Or should I listen to Key-J Allmighty...?

o dear. well i have a 17" asus laptop.. i guess mine's a fake then?
it's not uncommon that laptop companies make laptops in various sizes.
