Can anyone assure me that this desktop at the top, will be a LOT better then my current laptop?

 

Anyone got an answer for mine?

 

it depends. what do you want this laptop for? gaming? schoolwork? and whats the pricetag on it?

 

Just the usual...
MSN/Runescape/Myspace.

 

Bump!

 

For low requirement things such as myspace, msn and runescape this will be fine but if you try to do anything like world of warcraft even on the lowest detail it will run like a sack of shit lol.

 

My internet is like 250 - 300kb/s.

 

It's perfectly fine for doing stuff like that. However if you want to play WoW or anything like that, I'd recommend getting more ram.

 

Does this mean buying a new account? >_<

 

It's perfectly fine for normal stuff but not for games like wow/cod.

 

That doesn't really matter. That laptop can barely do crap video game wise. Other than that it's pretty good.

 

not bad, i personally wouldn't spend more then $200.00 on that thing though. Seems good for forums and runescape playing, but goodluck playing anything that actually requires graphics.

 

RAM = physical memory.

 

This isn't fast nor slow it is how u say lower level of "fair."
Although this can only be used for basic tasks,and small RAM consuming games.
You could boost it up by adding 1 GB of RAM,but to tel you the truth it won't help much because of your GFX card

 

Everyone who is suggesting that he upgrade the computer, keep in mind it is a laptop and would be a huge hassle to take apart and upgrade. I suggest not using a laptop for gaming. Purchase a desktop unless its absolutely impossible to avoid getting a laptop.

 

ROFL! I meant to say...
"Does this mean buying a new computer?"

 

It'll do the simple job of Myspace/RS/MSN, fairly good.
Althoughm you could probably get better if you pitch in another couple of hundred.
