nid ur opinion on laptop

[nitrox]

Liz, i noticed your selection is all HP Pavilion models...maganda ba talaga ang HP in terms of performance & durability? Pwede na bang pang games (like need for speed)yung integrated graphics pero 1GB ang RAM?

Im asking kasi im also gonna buy a new laptop, but cant decide between HP Pavilion and Acer Aspire 5672.Mas value for money kasi ang Acer (almost same features w/ HP but lesser price). But parang mas sturdier ang built ng HP.

Any Acer owners out there? How's the performance?

Don't buy a laptop with integrated graphics and/or shared memory. I have an older HP Pavilion ze5270 P4-2.4ghz. The performance hit is really bad when it comes to the more intense gaming.

The HP laptops listed have discrete graphics and dedicated video ram. Half the problem is solved right there. Just make the ram 1GB and I'd be happy with any of the 3. Of course, I still prefer the Core Duo simply because it's dualcore.

its true about the Acer's keyboard being too soft...actually all models (except the Ferrari one) have the same keyboard properties. in fact, there was one Aspire 5672 demo model in the shop where the keys in the keyboard are so loose, a few of them were just latched lightly onto the keyboard's slot. i was told an owner brought the unit back to the store because of the loose keys. the store is using it as a demo unit until its taken back to Acer service center.

parang turn-off tuloy yung Acer...although specs-wise it packs a lot compared to other notebooks .
