Hi,
Only things to say : don't buy ACER, PackardBell or Samsung laptop computer.
Component are cheap, plastics are cheap and all of that is bad design not easy to repair after 1 year or two (just when the warranty is finish)
For my at this moment, the best are NEC, Dell and HP.
For the rest just focus on :
- If there is a dedicated Grafic Card and check what your games need (Minimum requirement)
- If the Grafic Card has dedicated memories (and not "shared memories")
- I recommand only WXGA (15" or 17" wide) more the screen is big = more weight = more consomption (inverter 24V to 48V) = more future problems = $£€
If you are a gamer just have a small LCD screen and use VGA/DVI/HDMI cable to a external LCD/TV screen.
- Small HarDrive are better (same reason as TFT screen : consomption, weight)
I don't really advice you ACER ... I repair a lot of them ... and there not easy to open just to clean the dust or make an upgrade (CPU, RAM ...)
DELL : I bought one for my brother last month, he's is very happy about it, very easy to uprade/clean inside the laptop, low noise... there are not so much expensive, becose you can only buy it online at their website
Theye have insurance up to 3 year (you can also buy an assurance for LCD/TFT breaking, and they come at home "worlwide" exept maybe Iraq/Afganistan ...)
and you can "build" online your laptop ... don't pay for Webcam or Bluetooth if you 'll never use it.
NEC : Same as above, but did'nt find a website for "enduser" it seems only for pros.
HP : for me are ok (inside well designed for future repair) BUT ... the last models have some trouble with the LCD pannel. and the Customer service is not what you expect from a "serious" company like HP.
