Where to buy desktop replacement?

goobafish · 11-06-2005, 04:36 PM

Hey Guys,
I was just thinking a building a new desktop when it dawned on me that i could get a laptop instead. Here are some specs I want

Pentitum 4 (3.2-3.8) (any suggestions for better processor for gaming and multitasking?)
2024b RAM
100 gig Hard Drive
Geforce Graphics card (6800 GT - 7800 GTX) (needs to be 256mb)
Good audio card

Where is the best place to pick up a machine like this for a good price.

well when choosing a laptop over a desktop ur gonna have to know that ur gonna get much less for ur money. unless u really need the portability i reccomend that u go with the desktop. with the requirements u listed that is gonna set u back a good amount of money. so the first ? is wat is ur budget? and second u might wanna take a look at hte dell xps laptop series. they are very powerful and generally well priced compared to desktop replacements as the alienware (which u might prefer).

Wow man, I think you're going a little overboard. With those spcs, most people don't even have those in their desktops. Plus, I dont even think it's possible to put that kind of stuff in laptops anyway., but I may be wrong

Yes, you can have those in a laptop (not sure about a P4 3.8 tho), but it will be extremely expensive! I would go for Pentium M if you want good gaming and multitasking.

sorry one last thing u can get 3.8 but pM will not beat it in multi tasking and gaming but will beat it in battery life

oh yes it is my friend.

the problem with the p4 or amd processors is that they will chew through battery life. and i suppose u r gonna get a 17" screen so i dont think that u will get much battery life.

but it is possible to get a laptop with those specs for sure, the 6800 go(laptop 6800) should be enough

i say go for it gawddamitt
