My new laptop

[HeavyB3]

I decided it was time to upgrade my old laptop. It was 4-5 years old, aged well still works fine but just not quite with the times. With my recent luckiness in vegas i decided to buy a new laptop. I budgeted myself at 600 and this is what i found.

Much better than what I thought I would get for the price.

Good value, LOVE LOVE LOVE Newegg.

I almost bought an ACER when I got my first laptop, but ended up doing a custom deal from HP. The other didn't have the stuff to handle what I was doing back then. Funny how times change.

When i worked at CC last year, i started to like the Acers, we never had issues with them either so hopefully...

A friend of mine just bought the 18.4" version of that laptop from Newegg and it's pretty sweet. I had an Acer laptop a few years back, and I was impressed with it. The build quality was solid and it had some nice components for the price. I just bought a new laptop myself and seriously considered Acer but ended up getting a good deal on a Sony Vaio FW468 which I absolutely love.

I'm sure you'll love that laptop, it looks really nice. Other then Sony, Acer is the only other maker I have seen that's putting HDMI out on their laptops. My Vaio has a Blu Ray with HDMI out and I love it. HDMI out should be a standard feature, it turns your laptop into an HTPC with one cable, pretty sweet!

Newegg is also very good on returns

Not on Laptops, so beware. All sales are final on Newegg Laptops, they only offer exchange if the item is defective.

Oh really, I didn't know that, I just get components from them and their customer service has been stellar for many years.

But then laptops always have been a very different animal

I gave it to one of my friends. She suggested I sell it, but eh.

They are very good on their returns. I am very loyal to Newegg, they are top notch in every aspect I have ever had to deal with them. I love looking at my order history and seeing what I paid for a computer component like 6 years ago compared to now lol.

Newegg is great that way. I'm curious why the return policy is so different for laptops though, maybe they depreciate in value like cars, I don't know. I have spent so much money on Newegg I'm afraid to look at my order history. I used to build computers for people and I always got the components at Newegg. I received one bad component out of dozens of orders and they replaced it right away with no problem or hassle.
