3PointMan Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Is this a good computer? I'm looking for one in that $600-$800 range and this seems good. I'm not looking for a mac/apple product. I will wait until after 10/22 so I can get Windows 7. Ignore the numbers, it's just the serial numbers. I'd just like comments ont he part and stating if they are worth it and if they will work properly. I need to know if these parts will let me run Youtube, Forums, Runescape and Hulu with good speed, however I will mainly be using it for editing and recording videos. Will it be good for this? Also, will I be able to play games such as Left 4 Dead and Mirrors Edge? Basically, I'm asking if this computer will be sufficient enough to support everything I want to do, and at a decent speed. Thanks. PS: Where is the hide tag?

ElkNight Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Dont get McAfee (if you are required to pay extra for it) there are better, free alternatives. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!

Sbrideau Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Just don't get McAfee at all. It's one of the worst antiviruses out there, it's even [bleep]ing up my teachers and fellow students that loaned their laptops at college. (freezing laptops and crashes the laptop alltogether when right clicked on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathmath Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 It'll run that fine. You might be able to get a better deal, but I'm not sure. It'll run all that fine. Thoroughly retired, may still write now and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3PointMan Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 The McAfee is $50 extra. What are some really good free alternatives? Also, all of this stuff comes for $720 without taxes+shipping. Is that a good price? http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt206/samtheninja/Tags/FEARLESStag.jpg http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy156/song4thedeaf/stuff.png what i'm doing now: https://linktr.ee/student1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave0293 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Avira is a good free antivirus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElkNight Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Avira is a good free antivirus.Yeah, use Avira along with Spybot S&D. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!

Deathmath Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Pretty darned good including shipping. Get Avira AVG or Avast along with spybot S&D Thoroughly retired, may still write now and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElkNight Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hrmm, that seems like a small monitor. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathmath Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Is portability important. If it isn't you could probably get a heavier laptop with a larger screen for a better or equivalent price.

3PointMan Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 It isn't really. It'll basically always be in my house somewhere, usually in the same place. http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt206/samtheninja/Tags/FEARLESStag.jpg http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy156/song4thedeaf/stuff.png what i'm doing now: https://linktr.ee/student1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobgoblinpie Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I'd consider Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit (since you said you are waiting for Windows 7). POH Agility Course, Please Support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacks0n Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Try Trend Micro antivirus :thumbup: EDIT:A free alternative is always AVG. I used for a while. ~[Blog]~[CrystalMathLabs]~[Last.fm]~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Currently, the best free antivirus is Avira antivir. From the little research I've done, and with my experience with antiviruses, AVG has fallen 2 years ago and is one of the worst currently. Avast, is still good, but has [cabbage]loads of false-positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
