Did I get a good deal on my laptop?

Sir-Ex · 11-29-2009, 11:01 AM

I think I did, but what's your opinion? I don't know as much about comps as I used to, but so far the rig is pretty tight.

It is a Intel Duo Core T6600 2.2 ghz. 4gb ram. Geforce 210m gfx card. Windows 7.

This cost me $700 CAD.

Havent tried Crysis or anything yet, but it runs Dragon Age at high graphics settings at high-resolution 16:9 aspect ratio mostly above 30fps. Occasionally it slowls down to around 25fps in wide open areas.

It runs UT3 pretty damn well.

So did i get a good deal?>

If you like it and it does what you need it to, and you don't feel shorted than you got a good deal...

I would pay that for what you got...

Well then I got a good deal I say!

My computer knowledge is from 2-3 years ago, but considering the parts and the price I'd agree it was p good.

Yea that sounds pretty good. I paid a few hundred more for mine a couple years ago and its similar specs.

sounds good
better then mine just a wee bit and i paid teh same price

i paid the same for pretty much the same specs, but that was a year ago. no windows 7 here though..

did you get any type of warranty? i spent an extra 300 to include a 3-year warranty. at first i wasn't going to get it but after some thought i realized how neccesary it really is.

well if "great" is building your own comp with affordable parts that you hand-picked, and "horrible" is buying a dell from best buy, id say your deal was OK
