Seriously. This is the 5th time in 4 weeks that my computer has bricked. THE FUCKING 5TH TIME IN 4 WEEKS. Now the computer can't even find the hard drive. At least the previous four times were Windows Installation Corruptions. Seriously. Fuck you, HP. The fact that you could put out a product this fucking terrible is a disgrace.

    Maybe it's time to get a new computer.

    Just a thought.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    Fun fact: It could, in fact, be your fault.

    ^As someone who's owned a few HPs, I find it likely that it's not.

    My Nan owns a HP, and it works just fine.

    I suggest you find out what the problem is before throwing blame at them.

    It's not my fault. At all. Nothing I did would have caused this.

    Unless I somehow got a virus while visiting Fapchan. Or I got one while torrenting, but I only used two reliable torrents that a bunch of other people confirmed as to being virus-free.

    Forzare: My family doesn't have that kind of money.

    That contradicts like... everything you've ever said about your family's monetary situation.

    Look. Yeah, we do have money, but we don't ever have any for big-ticket spending. We have to take care of two households--my grandfather's is the other one, which can sometimes put a strain on our finaces.

    I've been using this HP laptop for nearly two years and only NOW has it's battery started to die on me. On top of that, I've never had a single issue with it. It's great.

    You can change. You can.
    HP laptops are unreliable, mind. Ventilation tends to get easily cluttered, for example. But those are things you can easily fix.

    ^^^My HP Laptop, meanwhile, had the hinge detach because of a cracked screw after one year. And I'd already been planning to replace it because, well, it was a piece of shit. If you actually used the capabilities it was advertised as having, it overheated after about thirty seconds.

    Are Alienware laptops more reliable?

    I want an M11-X Netbook from them, but I don't want it to brick in a year.

    From what I've heard, they're good, but not enough to justify the price tag.

    A word of advice on gamers getting laptops: if you want a gaming computer and you want a laptop, get a gaming computer and a laptop. "Gaming laptops" generally involve getting less for more.

    My dad, if he saves up for about a year, can pay that much.

    ^^This. You'll essentially pay a good 200-300 extra for little more than a cool looking chassis.

    Asuses are a better deal.

    There's a difference between "can pay for it" and "would get the money's worth."

    "^^This. You'll essentially pay a good 200-300 extra for little more than a cool looking chassis."

    I know this sounds utterly indulgent, materialistic, and superficial, but that cool-looking chassis is so worth the 200-300 extra.

    Even if you could have bought a more capable computer with that money instead? Or hell, looking at those prices, you could get a better computer with less money.

    I can make it glow, like, 16 milliom different colors

    /not serious

    [serious] Yeah, I could. What other company makes good gaming laptops?[/serious]
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse

    No company makes good gaming laptops. Some make better ones than others, but it's still a matter of spending more money for a lesser product.

    Portability doesn't make it a lesser product. Overheating and crashing when trying to use 60% of a cheaper desktop's power does.

    I prefer a loss in performance for portability, so a gaming laptop is great (Just need one that can run Portal 2, and I'm set (Since it should then run Minecraft well as well))
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    > Gaming laptop
    > Portal 2

    keep dreaming

    (OK, it is possible, but you will have to reduce the graphic setting, I think)
  • ChagenChagen
    [tɕagɛn]
    Given that the M11-X can have Crysis 2 installed on it from the factory, I assume some gaming laptops can run Portal 2 just fine.
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Crysis 2 isn't as badly-optimized as Crysis 1, from what I've heard.

    Doesn't the MX-11 not have any sort of optical drive? That'd be a deal breaker for me.

    Pretty much this. The best way to go is to make one yourself, they're cheaper that way too. Though I understand not everyone has the technical know-how. 'Tis a conundrum.

    Yeah, but I can buy an external CD drive and torrent the rest anyway.

    Juan: I don't mind playing on lowest settings

    Besides, I need a new laptop soon for classes that will require a good one. So yeah. If I don't mind playing on minimum settings, don't mind a performance drop, and need a laptop anyways...



    Although fuck ACAD's suggestion of a Mac. No way in hell am I buying one of those
