I am currently using Compaq Presario CQ56-US110 Notebook. Works well, except for the DVD-RW that stop functioning after some months. It's a perfect machine for those that are not into programming and gaming. |

ozoneprince: Buying a new laptop computer can be both frustrating and expensive. Technology is growing with times, a sign of transformation. Same can be in computer world, previously we used to be happy with PC but now the whole criteria are changed as people are upgrading themselves for using Laptops. Recent years showed advancement in Laptops and the reason behind increased purchasing trends is its portability which makes it easy to use and moving from one place to another without applying efforts. So people prefer the use of Laptops over Personal Computers because of several reasons including upcoming technology, portability, etc. But, often we get baffled when it comes to purchasing new Laptops.How much is hp pavillion g8 and g6 or dv6. I nid one of them either new or fairly used. Am in owerri |

Guest101~: While the Core 2 Duo is a 6 years + technology-it is very good and reliable. All elitebooks were designed to be premium business laptops and durable-the 6930p is very good-I am assuming you bought this used-thus you may want to consider changing the hard drive-especially if your laptop starts running slow. |

gcfr.com: Dell D610 is every good at 22k IF there are no issues with the laptop ( e.g. low battery life etc)-I sell D610s for 25k to 30k. If the D610 laptop you have is a 2.0Ghz with 2gb ram -then you have a sweet deal in your hands! |
Re: Things To Consider Before Buying A Laptop by jakaiso(m): 5:33pm On Nov 26, 2013 |
Briel33: pls with less dan 25k, can i b able to get a nice laptop? Yes- 25k is about $150-you can get a good Pentium M or Pentium 4 laptop from a professional-if buying from a user just looking to offload his laptop-you could even get a dual core. Also netbooks fall in that category. |

webpower84: beware of motherboard problem. I don talk say i no go use dell again All laptops eventually have motherboard problems at one point or the other. If you ask some people -they will tell you its only HP laptops-some will say Dell-and others will say only those with amd chips. But sincerly its all laptops-thats how people like me make money-we buy laptops with motherboard issues and fix them-and -I have encountered motherboard problems on every kind of laptop! |

trigar12: If am to buy a fairly used laptop for 40k in computer village, wot kinda specs should i be looking for? 40K should give you a dual core laptop and if you can bargain well-it should have a webcam and at least 3gb memory.-I am not speaking for computer village though-but the value of your 40k. |

I recalled when I bought my dell inspiron 1464 with acqua Blue back (blue is my favorite colour) with brushed aluminium wrist area+ keypad back in New Delhi in 2010 Specification was windows 7 home basic 64bit default OS (but upgraded to win 8 ultimate and downgraded to win 7 ultimate 64bit this year) intel core i3 2.13 GHz @ dual core 4 threads, 14.0 inch WXGA (1366x768) HD glossy widescreen with trubrite technology, 500GB. Sata HDD @ 5400rpm, 4GB ram upgradable to 8GB max. Bluetooth, wifi b/g/n, sata Optical DVD drive, ethernet, HDMI, 3 port 2.0 USB ports, Intel HD graphics processor, SRS surround speakers (realtek HD sound drivers) camera (with face recognition software) Microphone 4 cell Li ion battery which lasts 2hours under intense use but does 2hr 30mins under normal usage I still use this piece of gadget till today without any regret and it still looks great and performs great although I had planned to upgrade the processor to i7 quad cores, graphics to AMD HD or nvidia HD, HDD to 1TB, and ram to 8GB. But I backed out and still left the PC running stock. Reason why I wanted to upgrade the parts was because I'm into graphics plus I play lots of HD graphics games. But I discovered there was no need because my pc @ default still did those task with little or no lags. I might change the blue back case soon to Mike Ming® arts back casing to refresh the looks. |

da ceo1: hey guys... I jst bought a belgium hp laptop core i2, 1gb ram, hard disk 110G, batterylife 1hr 40mins for 41k... Pls did i make d right choice?? Do you mean Core 2 Duo? What is the exact model number of the HP? As in HP Pavilion dv4 or HP Probook 4520s? 41k doesnt look bad for a dual core laptop-although you could have gotten more memory for that price. |

ollykay619: I av N45,000 nd I need suggestions on which type of laptop (uk used) I can buy as a computer science student. 45K dont settle for anything LESS THAN a dual core with at least 3 gigs of memory and over 160gb hard drive. Possibly a webcam. Also battery life of over 2 hours. 1 Like |
Re: Things To Consider Before Buying A Laptop by NOLONGTIN1(m): 5:54pm On Nov 26, 2013 |
I feel the 1st thing to consider b4 buying a laptop/computer is What do I want to do with the laptop? . If it's for typing or browsing or watching movies then you don't need a laptop with 2GB RAM 500gb hard disk etc any system that can run windows xp would do. If it's for graphic design (animation) or Gaming then you would need a high tech laptop and special attention should be paid to the size of the L2 cache, RAM and graphics card - don't buy any laptop with Intel graphics card Research online about the system you intend to buy. I have a habit of always searching with Google using 2 search string 'Advantages' and 'disadvantages'. 1. Advantages of Samsung S4 2. disadvantages of Samsung S4, when I wanted to buy an S4 |

gidzbobby: Am a fan of apple, I think 150k should get me an apple laptop. With 150K-dont settle for anything less than a macbook pro 2008 or after and if you do your home work well-you can get as far as a 2012! |
