Hello,
I'm going to USA on a conference next week, this giving me the perfect opportunity to buy a laptop while I'm there. However I'm not at all familiar with where I'm going, so figuring out where to buy the right laptop for the money has left me guessing.
1. My budget is from $1000 - 1500
2. I'm considering everything from 15.6 to 17.3 "
3. Screen Resolution 1920x1080
4. This is a replacement for a desktop.
5. Battery life really isn't an issue.
6. I'm really going for a PC that will let me play the games I want. I play games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and hopefully Skyrim upon its release, in most of these cases, with my current laptop, I've had to compromise a great deal with the settings, in order for me to play. Bottom line, I want to play games on the highest settings possible, but not compromising the flow.
7. The laptop is also going to be a workstation, I do most of my work in Word and Power point, so its really not anything that require a lot from the cpu.
8. Anything from 500 gb and up. I always keep external backup drives for my work.
9. I'm not aware of any specific sites.
10. I'm going to keep my laptop for about 2-3 years
11. nothing in particular, whatever is in the computer is fine.
12. I'm mainly going for MSI and ASUS, because I feel I get more for my money, and in terms of warranty I've had nothing but good experiences from both.
13. I'm from Denmark, but the conference is being held in Los Angeles, CA.
14. Since I'm staying at a hotel, I'm hoping I could be directed to a store where I can pick up the computer. I called the hotel about the possibility of a company sending me the laptop to their address, but their wouldn't guarantee anything and pretty much cut that idea off.
