Which laptop is a better buy?

Question

Arm yourself with the mobile know-how to navigate anywhere--the Satellite A205S5831 notebook computer. A 1.73GHz Intel Pentium dual-core processor T2370 and 1024MB PC5300 DDR2 SDRAM allow you to take the office or the entertainment on the road without missing a beat.

The generous 160GB SATA hard drive supports your media and data collections, and the DVD SuperMulti +/-R double-layer drive accommodates 11 disc formats so you can easily add to your library or transfer files. Atheros 802.11b/g wireless LAN puts a cordless connection at your fingertips, and the 15.4" diagonal WXGA widescreen TruBrite TFT LCD display projects everything from word processing to the Web in the utmost clarity.

When you're on the move, the Elite nylon carrying case makes packing and protecting your notebook easier than ever. The lightweight yet durable bag is outfitted with an interior padded laptop sleeve and space for files and magazines; a front flap pocket for pens, CDs, and other essentials; and a smaller zip pocket for your keys or cell phone.

Access to and use of the Internet may require payment of a separate fee to an Internet Service Provider, DSL line, or more. The download speeds experienced with the modem may be slower due to varying line conditions.

Answer 1

look it all depends on what u are using this cpu for. (gaming,work,school,internet searching,multimedia entertainment) Tosheiba is one of the best affordable companies, but if you can save the money get an alienware. They are the leading pc designers with hardware like quad processors, terabyte memory, 8 gig ram, up to 4 g/hrz processing...The addition of games and software is a huge waist of space and not something you should take into consideration when looking for a pc. alienware pc's wont go out of style like most cpu's in a few months, they will last years.

Answer 2

that was long man..it really depends on what ur gonna do on a PC. If its about extreme gaming i would say allienware quad or tri core. Next go for gateway. Look for stuff online. Its too long to be discussed. There are too many details...good luck with ur PC

Answer 3

ok, the acer is WAY better graphics wise. i did read all of it by the way. the graphics on the acer is better but that is it. it has the same amount of ram and the SATA hard drive is bigger on the Tosh. i recommend #1 if your not going for hardcore game graphics as i am when i but.

Answer 4

No Idea that was to long to read.. but the best brands are Acer.

Answer 5

Did you really have to post all that crap?



Just get a Mac.
