I would like to buy this HP laptop
HP Pavilion G6-2250ev - C5S74EA
What do you think about it?
By the way I chose this one because its cheap. If you could find a better one, please find one that costs 500$ max!

yeah it's got a better CPU, and ASUS is a pretty good name


What are you planning on using your laptop for?
 


Not anything special! Just surfing on the Internet, watch and download movies etc.
The point is that I want it to last 2-3 years and not have issues with the processor. . .
 
that's pretty much a good laptop for its price, you might also want to consider Acer Aspire V3-551 it can play lot of good games in low settings :)
 


That one would work, personally I'd go for something like this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230985

That's going to have a better processor. Since you didn't mention gaming at all, this one would work just fine for movies, streaming, etc, and has a more powerful processor. If you want to do any gaming, then the one you mentioned would be better.
 


No... not gaming at all! I alrady have a pretty good PC for that :)
So, you believe that asus could be better? Because I need it to last for a few years!

Damn! the spacific laptop is not available in my country :/
What about this one? Asus F55VD-SX178H
 


That one is really similar to the one I mentioned, and should perform about the same. Same CPU.
 


Ok! Thank you a lot! I really appreciate it :)
