Decent laptops?

Okay I'm aware second help thread today, but looking to get new laptop as birthday is coming up soon, and international weeks are boring as ****..

Seen a HP Pavilion that looks good, but heard they can sometime over-heat easily..

I thought Id ask on here, as the very fact we are on this forum is due to the use of a computer, so some of you must have good knowledge and experience of Laptop's and PC's??

If you want to make a better suggestions feel free, I dont want to spend more then £450. Mainly use it for internet, uni, and some games!

 

iPhone 4s

 

I have a HP Pavillion and I have not had any issues with over heating

 

avoid samsung ones. ive had nothing but trouble with it and the build quality is ****e. full of plastic

 

Go to play.com mate,acer aspire,6gb ram,350gb hard drive and the very good i3 processor,349 delivered. Ma mate got it and its ****in magic,just about to buy 1 for myself

 

This is what I've got. Amazingly fast. Build quality awesome too.
I paid £600 for mine which hurts abit after seeing this.

That was the one I was looking at, so would you recommend it? Any good for games?

 

Yeah got a Acer Aspire at the moment however its a older one! they are really good, however had this one like 4 years and ran it into the ground, after being fully charged it now lasts a grand total of 14mins! ha

 

I only play Football manger so cant really comment. It is a class laptop like.
I would defo recommend it.

 

Toshiba ones are good (well I've only ever had one), I've had mine about 4-5 years now and it's never had a problem. It's even survived me spilling a full cup of tea on it and it's been dropped a couple of times. It still works fine though.

Much better value for money than the HP (no offence Des). Better processor and RAM

 

Second hand Macbook

 

All laptops golike that mate. Need to treat the battery with TLC and only charge when ran down low,let it fully charge than take off charge. Esier said than done though

 

I have the exact same one - and I would recommend it. Though like toondes I have only played FM as a game on it but it runs quite a few progams all at the same time really well and quickly

 

have a acer aspire and had it for the past 2 yrs now it's never flickered would recommend them got the 6935 and plays older games i'm looking for a better one for games have found a good website but what's your budget

 

here's one site couldn't find the other one will keep looking and post it up if i find it http://www.bestgaminglaptop.net/articles-guides/top-10-gaming-laptops/

 

If you don't have a big budget then go for Samsung. In my 4 year experience of buying Samsung, they're reliable, don't tend to overheat and are usually the 'surprisingly good for what I paid' brand.

 

I've got an acer aspire too, about 2 and a half years old now and starting to slow down but until now it's been brilliant. Used to be able to run a ton of programs on it (pokerstars client, poker tracking software, spotify, google chrome and more) with barely any problems so would recommend it. The 15.6" LED LCD screen is really really clear even from back then so can imagine the newer ones are even better.

EDIT: my gf just got the acer one linked earlier in this thread and although she doesn't use it for gaming she's loving it.

would recommend a cooling pad well worth the money (for a good one not the jazzy crap ones)
belkin make a good one got 2 use one for my laptop and use the other for my 360

 

I have an HP Pavillion, which I now have to use as a desktop as it overheats so much I have built it a cooling system.
Good laptop, when its cold, but not worth it IMO
