I have recently been looking for a nice laptop to get. In my vast searching of the internet came across Xoticpc and am extremely happy that I did. It really seems like a quality place for this purchase. As stated above I mainly do just the normal computer uses but the laptop I have now is not really up to gaming.(HPdv7) I do not currently do much intense gaming, mainly just older titles but am interested in purchasing newer games. To keep myself from rambling on forever I will just stick to the main questions. I have been looking at 2 laptops, (can list exact builds if desired but thought I would TRY to keep this as short and to the point as possible)
Force 3551 - built up pretty good for XP ($1481)
- vista with 4gb ram ($1543)
Sager NP8662 - pretty well built ($2174)
I guess the real question is if it really is a huge gain to go with the Sager for a casual gamer like myself. I could go on and on about the different ways I am looking at this purchase but will end and see what you extremely smart people have to advise.
Thank you very much and I apologize for the length of this post.
