THE Notebook is actually made by Cisnet ! I've heard good things about their desktops but not much on the laptop? Has anyone bought on of these puppies ? & how was it? I bought a Compaq from wallyWorld In November & it was screwed up out the box ! Could'nt get past the windows opening page error messages - Windows improperly installed or incompletely installed So I returned it to Wallyworld ! So this one would be it's replacement! Thing is if I get it and have problems Newegg will repair or replace but not refund my purchase price ! always had good dealings with newegg but there's always a first time ! well hope someone can help ? Thanx again friends
Not bad, but anything with nascar and computer together = a big pile of crap in less then a year. id say dont go to tigerdirect for laptops go to bestbuy or circuit city. Tiger direct always has cheap deals.
i ordered this just yesterday actually... unlike what dude says above, the only way this could be a crappy deal, and not from tigerdirect, (don't think he read the whole post ) is if the motherboard on the system was crappy, but i've heard it's Aopen laptops redone, according to some customer reviews.... but companies don't mean much, it's what's inside that counts i'll post here next week, and let ya know how it goes.... btw if u goto the manufacturers website, this model seems to be a modd'd version.. the hardware specs arn't the same as the one at the manufacturers website.
well, after receiving it, and a thorough evaluation, this is a very incredible deal on a laptop! i have yet to benchmark results, but it's very snappy, and runs very smoothly. i have yet to have any problems with it, or hiccups in performance. i'm sure i could if i ran some of the newer fps's on it, but of course that's what my sli desktop is for but really, for 500$, this laptop CANNOT be beat. hands down, i'ld buy another just to have another lol, of course, i'ld be taking the nascar stickers off the 2nd one too hehe ;P the only downside that i've found so far, is the fact it's socket 754, so you can only upgrade the processor to a mt-40, or ml-44, since the turion 64 x2's are not socket 754. but at the same time, a workload large enough to actually take advantage of the dual processors is unlikely, since 95% of any programs out there, arn't coded for dual processors.... i'm sure in the future more and more programs/games will be coded for multi core support, but once the market gets to that point, the laptop itself will be as outdated as a pentium laptop is these days... of course, if all you do is program on it, lol, well, ya... compilers don't care what you're running so unless you do crazy stuff on it, like graphic editing or something odd, like trying to play games on a budget laptop, u'll be alright. as far as a general computer to listen to music, or to surf the net, this deal can't be beat. hope this helps!
Hey Roger, do you think it would be possible for me to get the nascar suite from you. I have some other suites that I could trade you for it.
sure man, it's not a bad skin, they did pretty good on it. but u'll have to let me know the loc's of the files, i don't use theme manager much, first time... i always used themexp hehe
