CoolKizzy:
Lagtech, you can choose to ignore my mail, calls and chats on bbm but please do the right thing. l don't want to get angrier about this than I am already.

Why would you think I am ignoring your mails or messages.
You sent an email today-a reply will be sent today.
We have exchanged hundreds of emails and messages in the last few months. I shipped 2 of your laptops last week. We spoke on the phone several times in the last 1 week-why would I now decide to ignore your mails.
If you sent an email-give me time to reply-I am the same person who drives 3 hours to pick up your items on Craigslist, the same person who spends time to check out that the same laptop out -the same person who chats with you for up to 20 minutes or more on BBM -the same person you call and want to speak with on the phone.
You sent the email today-I have replied most emails today and will reply yours.
Moreso - I have always said on the thread-that Wednesdays and Thursday-I am handling shipping-which involves almost a whole day of preparation and driving.

Replying Emails sent this afternoon. All emails replied in the next 15 minutes.

Elemental:
More delays, and I shouldn't have to badger you before you update me

No-you dont have to badger me-. We ship and deliver several times a week-but I cant give you updates until my shipper/logistics has given me updates. So when you dont hear from me-it means we havnt been given a pick up date yet. Its your item-you paid for it.

Homguy:
Oga lagtech, sent you 2 mails already. Pls reply.

When we spoke on the phone -I said I would get back to you on Thursday.

Ogborokiri:
Oga lag wats happening to ur website

Website? Nothing- website is up and running. New updates today.

@ lagtech I just did a thorough search of my email, no replies anywhere. Pls just tell me when to pick up, this week is running out and I was initially supposed to pick up last week

I have one email from you today.

Sometimes its hard to link Nairaland user names with email names -name used to pay in and BBM names. When emailing-you can quote your Nairaland name.

J12:
Is lagtech still alive? He won't reply my emails

Bros-may you live long. May you live longer than your forefathers. I am alive!!!

When did you email me that I didnt reply? I always post on the thread the way email works. I REPLY EMAILS EVERYDAY. If you dont see a reply-check your spam folder or resend.
All emails as of Tuesday have been replied. Most emails sent today have been replied. ALL EMAILS SENT ANY DAY are replied by midnight USA time.

All emails replied.

mrseamy:
please house I need clarification on the different sizes of laptops and the ones that come with internal DVD
most especially d smaller sizes. 10" & 12"
do those ever com with inbuilt DVD

please gurus in da house assist me plz

Laptops start from 7 inch called netbooks -while the regular laptops called notebooks start from 13 inches.

Smallest laptop with inbuilt dvd are usually the 13 inch and 13.3 inches. But not all 13 inch have inbuilt dvds.

Elemental:

Lagtech:Ok Boss, looking forward to then.
check this out http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ank/sys/4691474543.html the seller is insisting on $100 for both, whats your advice?

$100 each for untested laptops-with one being a Pentium M and not including other costs like shipping is too high.

Buying a desktop computer can be a lengthy process involving many complex decisions, but none come with quite as much jargon as figuring out the best CPU.
Before you know it, you're drowning in talk of cores and clock speeds, socket types and chipsets, Piledriver, Steamroller and more.
While you'll need to consider at least some of these issues, there's an easier way to approach your purchasing problems. And that's to ignore the technical detail, just for the moment, and focus first on a more fundamental question: Intel vs AMD, which processors are the best for you?
You'll probably find that answering this question is much more straightforward. And once you've made your choice, many other decisions about your new PC will fall into place, saving you plenty of time.

Intel vs AMD: Intel CPUs

If performance is top of your priorities (and you can afford the price tag) then Intel processors are a good choice. Don't take our word for it, just check out high-end systems like the MSI GT72 Dominator Pro, Palicomp Hydro-780 or Dell's monster Precision T7610: it's almost always Intel inside.
The difference can be marginal, though, depending on what you're trying to do. You may struggle to notice much difference in gaming performance, and if you're planning to overclock your chosen CPU – and your target applications make good use of multiple cores – then AMD may sometimes offer equivalent or better speeds for much less cash.
Intel's Core M (or "Broadwell" family isn't expected to bring any major changes in single core performance, either. If anything, it could deliver less than the move to Haswell, with a barely noticeable 5% speed increase.
The real gain this time will come from the move to a 14nm manufacturing process, cutting power requirements by as much as 30%, allowing for fanless tablets less than 8mm thick and yet another leap in battery life.

The major performance increase could be in graphics, thanks to 20% more execution units (although new 4K support will probably soak up most of that). We'll find out for sure as the various Broadwell CPUs arrive throughout the first half of 2015.

Intel's latest technologies could make a real difference to mobile devices, then. But if you're looking for a desktop solution which delivers great performance, without having to face the massive price premium of Intel's high-end chips, then the company's Core i5 products are still where some of its best deals are to be found.

Intel vs AMD: the AMD competition

While Intel hopes to see big gains from the move to a 14nm process, AMD (still at 28nm, with 20nm cores likely in 2015) is taking an entirely different path, reworking their CPUs to deliver something new: Kaveri.

The big change is support for Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA for short), which is all about more tightly integrating CPU and GPU cores. In particular, the old division of memory – CPUs had one block, GPUs another, and they were handled in very different ways – is replaced by a tidy new scheme (hUMA) where everyone shares the same RAM access, queuing and execution rights.

What this means is that each CPU and graphics core in a Kaveri chip can now be running a separate process, in its own memory space, independent from the others. It's a new way of doing things which AMD says requires a brand new term, "compute cores", to help compare them properly. Kaveri's A10-7850K with 4 CPU and 8 GPU cores can now be considered to have twelve "compute cores".

But this is just the start. Kaveri's Steamroller CPU cores are 10% faster for single-threaded tasks, maybe twice that when multi-threading, enhanced GCN (Graphics Core Next) cores deliver even better graphics performance, and support for AMD's Mantle (a faster alternative to DirectX for GCN adapters) should accelerate your gaming even more.
It's not yet clear how this will play out. HSA in particular shows real potential, but it doesn't just "work". Software needs to be written to take full advantage of it. That's going to take time – and even then, HSA isn't just an AMD technology, there's nothing to stop Intel adding HSA support to its own products.
Still, Kaveri is a notable step forward for AMD, and a real improvement on its previous technology. It's not an Intel beater – yet – but the design is even now a genuine competitor for Intel in some areas.

Intel vs AMD: which is best?

We've looked at the two companies, then – but which is best? Of course, it all depends on what you're looking for.
At the low end of the market, where price is key, a dual-core system may have to do. Intel's Celeron G1840 is a very basic two-core, two-thread CPU, but it's also a Haswell chip at only £33 (around US$54, AU$61). AMD's A6 5400K is another interesting budget option: weaker as a processor, but with decent integrated HD 7540D graphics considering the £40 (around US$65, AU$74) price tag.
Move into the budget gaming market and the AMD FX-6300 is a great product. Six Piledriver cores deliver excellent multithreaded performance, it's seriously overclockable, and the end result delivers close to Intel i3 speed for less money – it's under £80 (around US$130, AU$148) right now.

Alternatively, the mid-range Kaveri chip A8-7600 already delivers excellent graphics performance along with minimal power requirements for a mere £75 (around US$122, AU$139), and some people will see it get even faster as HSA and Mantle take off.
Excellent single-core performance does mean that many regular desktop systems will generally be better off with an Intel processor, though. If you can live without overclocking then the Core i5-4570 delivers something close to the power of a Core i7 for a much lower price – around £145 (around US$235, AU$270) – although beware: hyper-threading is disabled.

If that's not enough then the unlocked Devil's Canyon include the Core i5-4690K (£160, which is around US$260, AU$295), while its companion Core i7-4790K is a quad-core, eight-thread chip with a standard speed of 4GHz (4.4GHz boost), great news if you can live with the £270 (around US$440, AU$500) price tag.

Many people complain about AMD being bad. @Nostalgia21 is the only Nigerian that I have met who wanted AMD over Intel!
Truth is AMD is not bad or else HP, Toshiba, Dell etc would not use it in their computers. Intel came first and so already had the market. By the time AMD cam-they had to come in at a cheaper price-and as result people assume they are bad. We have hundreds of failed intel laptops in our storage just like we have amd laptops.

This article below may provide some insight. Though its an opinion.

pman06:
i assume the package my nc6400 is has yet been cleared, and that the t60 is awaiting some parts, but what about others, are they in lagos too or yet to ship, cos am a bit lost.

Will reply by email in the morning (USA time) when I check with the shipper and Jimmy. But t60 has been in Lagos for 4 weeks-battery was missing-but has been shipped. nc6400 I believe is on ground.

peacelife:
I no de exist for here heh

Bro -I still emailed you on October 3rd and about to reply the email you sent today Saturday. Sometimes I cant respond to every post on the thread with the way sp am bot is banning. My last ban was 6 days-moderators have unbanned me twice this week. Always email-I reply your emails. 68 emails between you and I in the last 27 days.

Your ordered Sept 8th. Laptops shipped Sept 11th. They are in Lagos as I told you in my email. Jimmy was at the warehouse on Friday and they were not available for pick up. When they are picked up-you will be informed.

Make Money From Laptop Upgrades

While you can make money from importing and selling laptops-you can make much more from laptop/computer support. One way is by helping people upgrade their laptops.
-No brand new laptop comes with the maximum memory and hard drive except in few cases. So a laptop that can take 8gb usually comes with 3gb or 4gb and one that can take 2gb usually comes with 512mb.
-You can use google to find out the maximum memory a laptop or desktop can take.
-There is usually no limit to the hard drive size.
-There is usually no difference between a used memory stick and a brand new one. Brand new hard drives though are better than used. But a used hard drive can still last over 10 years.
-You can charge people 2k to 10k for the labour to upgrade their laptop.
-It takes just 1 minute to change memory.
-Changing hard drive can be done in minutes too-but re-installing the operating system getting drivers can take 1 to 2 hours.

Example below is HP Pavilion dv6000. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/HP+Pavilion+dv6000+RAM+Replacement/3757

Most laptops have memory at the bottom. Some under the keyboard. Most laptops have 2 slots for memory. Some like specific i5 and i7 elitebooks have 4 slots and can take up to 32gb.
