If you tell me your location/ store that will buy from, I can configure one up for you. Also, you can choose the used parts path like me and save lots.

An AMD APU, especially the A10 5800 AND 6800 have TONNES of processing power. To have a comparison, look here--> http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+A10-5800K+APU

Obviously, you won't be getting as much power as a $400 CPU but you will have more than enough to run your for at least 4 years. Then you can always upgrade the CPU to something better, considering the current market.

For software, you can use Plex for media server(no need to convert anything)

And you can use Free make converter if in need. Both programs use all available cores and utilize the maximum potential.

My laptop died last week... :crying: My poor faithful laptop that did so well all those years... :crying:

Oh well. My new one runs laps around it, so I'm not complaining. Though someone needs to take a blunt object to the skull of the person who invented that ridiculous Optimus thing.

And nobody should ever say you can't game on a laptop: I'm running Skyrim on Ultra with the HD texture pack, 230 mods (incl. climates of tamriel, extra hd packs and other such stuff), and have a constant 60FPS. ;)

Asus N76VB

Intel i7 - 3630M 2.4/3.2Ghz boost

8GB DDR3, expandable. (I'm out of money, though)

2x750GB SATA 7200RPM (An SSD is just not worth the money vs space for me.)

Nvidia GT 740M 4GB (yes, four. That was not a typo.) + Intel 4000HD (not something to be proud of, that last one. Why do they even still sell that garbage?)

:) This'll do for the next 4 years.

Asus.

Did you not read the post I just made about me buying an Asus laptop that runs Skyrim on ultra with 230 mods, HD texture packs and all the shizzle @60FPS, constant? :rolleyes:

This is going to feel like boasting but..

Asus N76VB

Intel i7 - 3630M 2.4/3.2Ghz boost

8GB DDR3, expandable.

2x750GB SATA 7200RPM

Nvidia GT 740M 4GB + Intel 4000HD

I've looked for alternatives with similar top-range specs (for a laptop), Acer has some decent ones as well but I didn't want an SSD.

As fast as it is, it's just not worth the price vs size value. 128GB for a C drive is useless if you're a gamer who also needs the entire Adobe package. Steam alone (not that I use it) is 80, Adobe another 112 with all plugins, alas, no size left for windows. (Gaming on Ubuntu is just too much of a hassle, and Optimus doesn't work with it, rendering my Nvidia GPU useless.)

I refuse to pay 1900 euro's for a laptop just because it has a 128GB SSD, as opposed to 1150 euros for one that has two 750GB SATA's and the exact same remaining specs... Particularly as I can just take out one of the SATA's and replace it with an 128GB SSD that I can buy for 80 bucks. (bleh, My 2TB WD Elements was 70 euros..)

I'm in the market for a notebook specifically for school, so it needs to be budget friendly as well.

My first guess was to get a Chromebook but my school has some sort of web portal thing, so I have no clue if Chrome supports that(might be Java based). Besides that I considered the dell Lat 6400/6500, because that book is made from magnesium alloy like my vostro and mg is very durable in my experience.

[Off-topic] shimp208:
Windows 7 is still going to be with us for a long time, and will have support for several years to come (Windows XP is still being supported until 2014). If you want to maximize program compatibility (Such as Premier Pro CS6) and support stick with Windows 7. By the time drivers, software, manufactures, etc. finally get everything compatible with Windows 8 (If they ever do) it will be time for Windows 9 (Or 8.5 if the latest rumors are to be believed) to come out. As far as Windows 8 being OEM only that not true, Microsoft will launch system builder versions of Windows 8 for around $100 for Standard and around $120-$150 for Pro. Also upgrading to 64-bit will come in handy for your video editing in Adobe Premier Pro, as the 64-bit architecture can more efficiently take advantage of memory and/or use more then 4 GB of memory which will speed up video rendering and other video editing tasks. How much memory do you have currently if you only have 4 GB or less I strongly recommend upgrading to 8 GB or even 16 GB if your motherboard has the support for it.
[Off-topic] roofrider:
Thanks that's settled then, will stick with win7.. should choose btwn premium/pro/ultimate now.

It's pity really cuz now i'll have 2 versions of win7 with me :banghead:

Video editing is the main reason why i'm upgrading to x64, now i have only 2 gb ram.

My current asus motherboard is pretty basic but supports up to 8GB of ram, and i have an Athlon II processor now.

Right now thinking of sticking to the same motherboard and changing the processor to an AMD quad core, upgrading to 8GB ram, a GeForce GPU, and x64 win7 :facepalm:

That ok?
[Off-topic] shimp208:
Yup that's a perfect setup what your upgrading to. As far as what version of Windows 7 to get go with Pro, unless you need the language support and bit locker encryption of Ultimate its not worth spending the extra money.

I already have a sony monitor i believe is 21" and a mouse and keyboard. any one have suggestions for parts, or a good prebuilt system on the cheap close to that?

Interesting, as I've not had nearly as many issues with W8 as I suspected.

Have a look at run --> services.msc --> printspooler. Is it running? If it is, try to refresh it. If not, start it. If you can't, change its setting to Automatic or Manual, first. Sometimes it turns itself off to Disabled, and then it won't ever see a printer as online.

I can pick up and use my dad's Pixma MX925 without even installing the drivers on my laptop straight over WiFi. And I turn off printspooler whenever I don't use it, as well.

But then I am using the hidden administrator account as my main account, with UAC in the graveyard and ClassicShell to block all Metro nonsense. Before I unlocked that account and started using it as a main, I had dozens of issues with programs and games not launching or crashing. (that whole "Setting an account as administrator in Accounts is the same" lark is utter rubbish.) None since.

The one thing that bugs me the most that can't be fixed is the auto-sort in Explorer. Oh it can be, for everything except List View. Guess what I use 99.99% of the time? But this has been there since Vista.

I'd recommend you the laptop I'm currently using, but I have no idea if they A, sell it n the US, and B, what it costs in USD. I have no idea what any laptop costs over there.

Win8 is nice and all, feels more like a lighter version of Win7 (that applies to both the classic UI and overall performance), but Metro UI is definitely not made for PCs.
