Cheap laptop

[RSBDavid]

What is the cheapest laptop I can get that will run Runescape HD and Microsoft Office. I just need one with a internet wireless card and good graphics card.

Country and max price?

 

And what do you mean by a good video card, seperate or an intergrated that's more powerfull than cheaper intergrated (phrased myself weird there)?

Save your money for something worth while? For around $800 you can get a decent laptop.

Decent? The config may be decent, but its vulnerability to problems, uh, makes it BAD.

 

 

 

I don't recommend you buy a cheap laptop, since they are very vulnerable to problems --- a hardware problem happening outside warranty period(e.g. motherboard failure due to bad capacitors) kills your system instantly, forcing you to buy a new one. It is almost impossible to replace the motherboard of a notebook.

 

 

 

Even great brands, like Acer or HP, are prone to failures as well! That's why they only give you 1 year warranty period! :shame: They are more willing to give you longer warranty period for desktops.

 

 

 

My Fujitsu notebook has 3 year warranty =D> and is made in Japan not China ;) Unfortunately that Fujitsu notebooks available in Europe & USA are made in China, and they only got a year warranty. The product is different in Hong Kong at my side

 

 

 

I believe IBM (now owned by Leveno) also offer 3 year warranty. Their notebook is also very robust. But the price is a bit higher.

 

 

 

Consider lengthening the warranty period. Also pay attention to the terms of service.

 

 

 

If I were you, I would either pay more to buy a notebook with longer warranty period, even if it mean a higher price, or a desktop with similar price.

By the way, your requirement is very low. Every notebook available today can satisfy them.
