    is this acer aspire e15 any good?

    So I just bought a new laptop and I am kind of reluctant to fire it up. I seem to have absolute rubbish luck with these sort of things. I said I wanted a laptop that can handle some gaming. Now this is still up in the air, as I am not sure I will bother with a laptop for that and just wait until...

    Getting into gaming, need a new laptop

    Heeeey, look at this thread! I remember it.. Hope all is well with everyone! So, my situation is the same as it was a year ago. Still using this HP with an external monitor because the native one is kaput. Haven't moved back east yet, and not sure if and when I will do so. I would like a...

    Getting into gaming, need a new laptop

    Memory express said that they will take back my laptop. If I wanted a replacement, they will ship one in from a different store and I will have to pay for the shipping, plus the price difference. Trying to get a hold of a manager now to see if they could do me a solid by replacing the laptop...

    Getting into gaming, need a new laptop

    I don't have a desktop, currently. Just an old Compaq Presario cq50 laptop I bought back in 2007 or 8. I would like to own a desktop again someday, but as it stands I am too nomadic for it. In fact, I am probably going to be moving to ontario from british columbia in a year or so. And then...

    Getting into gaming, need a new laptop

    I bought the GE70 this afternoon and only just fired it up now. It looks like I am going to have to return it because there is a dead pixel in the screen. The guy behind the counter said I could simply replace the harddrive and memory in my current computer to give it a few more years. But it...

    Getting into gaming, need a new laptop

    Less features for less. I mean, how much of what I am paying for with this unit is covering the cost of those bells and whistles? I would rather not have to buy stuff I won't use. I don't have to buy from memory express, I could go elsewhere. Newegg.com is american, so anything I buy from there...

    Getting into gaming, need a new laptop

    I'm torn, lol. It looks like a good system, but it has a few bells and whistles I don't really need, like the backlit keyboard. I am not sure how or if I would utilize that too much

    Getting into gaming, need a new laptop

    Ah ok. I was thinking there is the probably of sarcasm in that post. Wasn't too sure, lol. The deal I was offered by memory express is that they are selling, the total with tax, but no additional warranty other than the one year provided by msi would come to $1,401CAD or $1,071 US. The one...

    Getting into gaming, need a new laptop

    Thanks for the help! Much appreciated. Where would I be able to buy a barebone laptop? I know of desktops being able to be built from scratch, but not laptops. I can't deviate over 1500 with tax. I'm probably pushing it as is. That asus looks good, but has a 15.6" screen, rather than 17...
