Ok BestBuy has this great trade-in/recycle deal going on, gave in an old client's Dell XP laptop for $100 credit, + will give my old Galaxy S2 Skyrocket for another $40 and wanting to sell my current HP Athlon X2 for about $70 to a client, so this will be the only time I look for pretty much any decent laptop at BestBuy, and torn between a few (if u cant pick one, at least tell me which u hate):
HP - Geek Squad Certified Refurbished Pavilion 17.3" Laptop - Anodized Silver
HP (-1)
AMD A8 2.1Ghz
4GB (max 8GB)
Cache Memory 4MB on die Level 2
750GB (+1)
AMD Radeon HD 8550G (up to 2GB) (+1)
Win 8 64bit
$340 (Net = $130)
Samsung - Geek Squad Certified Refurbished 15.6" Laptop - Silver
i3 2.4Ghz
4GB (max 8GB)
Cache Memory 3MB on die Level 3
750GB
Win 8 64bit
$350 (Net = $140) + GOOD REVIEWS
HP - Pavilion 17.3" Laptop - Anodized Silver (((Despite HP, I like this best because its new and decent reviews if that 2.8Ghz boost comes true, just need to add 4GB RAM)))
HP (-1)
AMD A8 1.9GHz (with Turbo CORE up to 2.8GHz) <--- REALLY? IF TRUE (+1)
4GB (max 8GB)
Cache Memory 4MB on die Level 2
750GB
Win 8.1 64bit
$400 (Net = $190) + GOOD REVIEWS
HP - Geek Squad Certified Refurbished ENVY 15.6" Laptop - Natural Silver
HP (-1)
i5 2.6GHz (with Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz) <--- REALLY? IF TRUE (+1)
8GB (max 16GB)
750GB
Win 8 64bit
$400 (Net = $190) + BAD REVIEW (just 1 tho, hmmmm)
This will basically be my throwaway laptop for emergencies, possible road trips, and maybe take to client job sites if I need it for whatever. I MAY install something like Adobe CS2 or something in case I need to do some design on the road, but that would be the extent. Don't care for gaming really on a laptop, esp at low-res, rather play chess or sudoku or something. Might possibly use HDMI out to play some movies, although these graphic cards suck balls. I guess the bottom line is concerning the i3 vs i5 and the 32 bit Win 7 and 4GB cap. I do love the A8 tho, like getting a free graphics card LOL. Wouldnt mind a bigger screen, 17.3", but then again its heavier to carry around so I guess it kinda evens out.
