Looking into a new laptop, would like opinion on price/specs

by **Nick419** » Jun 15th, '11, 21:41

I'm looking into getting a new laptop for college. I know a decent amount about computers but would regardless like an opinion. Wal-Marts got a deal going on right now for an Acer 15.6 (screen) Dual Core Laptop with 4GB memory and a 500 GB hard drive for only $398 and I've seen computers with less memory well over $400. imo thats a great hard drive for the price. Think its a deal?

That sounds pretty good to me.

What kind of processor is it?

You could try the reviews and laptop guides from C-Net and then look for specials. Its pretty helpful.

the processor only runs at 2 GHz. A lot of sites say u shouldnt get anything under 2.2 while others say anything 2.0 or higher is fine. So i think this would be ok unless i was a big gaming nerd which I'm not but I would like to buy The Old Republic game when its released cuz i was always a big KOTOR fan as a kid lol

Like you pointed out it depends what you want to do with the computer. For light gaming/schoolwork/surfing the web a 2 GHz dual core is fine.

I looked for the recommended specs on that game but couldn't find them. I assume that since it's an mmorpg it won't take a lot to run it though.
