Lucapher Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 so my desktop died on me and i decided to just grab a laptop, tell me what you think http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Pavilion+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i3+Processor+-+Black/9707468.p?id=1218154720995&skuId=9707468 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSBDavid Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 It's alright, a little overpriced for what it has. Are you a student? If so you could've gotten something like this for the same price with a student discount.

Lucapher Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 btw it was 670 at my store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Still a little overpriced, but it's not a bad computer if you're not going to play games, otherwise, Intel graphics sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solartide Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 it's pretty bad man. They were selling Hp refurb ENVYs for 600-700 just a few days ago. I'm talking 2x160 GB SSD, for 600-700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 i3 isn't bad but the rest of it is pretty poor for what you paid for, even by best buy standards. I just feel like a processor like an i3 is kind of useless without a decent video card to back it up (as you don't need anything above a centiron core2duo or w/e for just browsing the web).

Cha0sx Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Doesn't the Intel Core i3 have 2 cores with an integrated graphics card? If you want to play games you better not get such a craptastic laptop unless you want to cry, just warning you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I have an i3 in the computer I recently built and let me tell you, it's far from a bad processor. Dual core with Multithreading, it outperformed my Athlon dual core that I had in my old computer by a hell of a lot. And yes, the i3 processor does have some graphics processing, but never something like a real graphics card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cha0sx Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Yeah that's what I mean. The i3 is a fine processor for the new low-end market of today, it's just with the graphics portion of that laptop he shouldn't game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorofujita Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Well an I3 can definitely handle runescape, maybe not in HD, but it could still play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Ah, I think it could without problems play RS HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about the graphics processing, not the actual processor work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
