ibuypower?

[jakhammer]

anyone heard anything about ibuypower laptops? i am in the market for a new laptop and want something with some gaming power. it dont have to be a world beater, im just sick of hauling my pc to lan parties to play battelfield 1942 (we stick to older games due to older laptops in the group). i was thinking about an alienware, but ibuypower has better prices. just wondering if i should try them or stay away. ibuypower.com is the site.

Don't go to Ibuypower

Try these companies:

Velocitymicro.com
AVADirect.com (don't know if they do laptops)
Falcon-nw.com
ViciousPC.com (I personally like them, they don't get great reviews though)

whats the scoop with ibuypower? bad machines, poor customer service, plain junk?

im looking to spend roughly $2000 out the door with 2 gigs of ram. dont need a hug hdd, dual layer burner, hd disc drive, etc. basicly i want a nice display, a lot of memory, a decent cpu, and decent gpu.

All three of the above. They're the sister company of cyberpower and thats one of the worst PC builders right now. Google the word "cyberpowerfucked" and you'll see what I mean.
