12_Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
I have been mainly looking at ASUS based on my research and pretty sold of them
I have been looking at various models of K52 series, N61JV , K72 series. Their are some many variations of those its very confusing plus each supplier has a different setup. I am thinking an I3 processor with a better video card would be better than an i5 with a lesser video card
dont think I want at HP or Dell based on friends past experiences. Sony I am not really liking so far
Acer and Toshiba maybe
13_What country do you live in?
United State
14_Please tell us any additional information if needed.
Semi gaming laptop. Mostly for older games and MMO's would like to be able to play newer games but understand some FPS may not play or in low setting ( not a biggie). The laptop will mostly be at home downstairs and connect thru wireless. I will be stand alone ( no pluggin into a TV or anything for a better screen) will have access to a outlet of course. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you
