shooda487

im an architecture student and need a desktop replacing laptop thats fast and able to handle architecture oriented programs (autocad, form z, adobe illustrator, inDesign, quark-xpress...)
i also have alot of mp3's + movies, to store/play (need 2 usbs , 2.0). i would also like to edit movies,(need a firewire port). and play heavyer games (GTA..) i hate pre-packaged multimedia programs that come with the computer because they usually suck and i never use them. i need a computer that can handle all of this and it must must run fast. PRICE is not such a big deal but id like to spend under or a bit over $1500. whats the best laptop for me.

Answer
you would have to get something at least a gig of ram maybe 60 or 80 gig hd also at least 1.5 gigaherts and a good video card. well alienware might be a bit over your price range but you can check some of those out. if your willing to sacrifice some of your gaming then you can take a look at dell laptops. specific models i dont know but your gonna need all those specs at least maybe more but if you up the specs it will raise the price lots. hope this helped

I need a new laptop, i have a home desktop, its a vista windows, but its pretty much just my home set up for WoW and The sims 2 (NEW SIMS 3 COMING OUT YAY!!!) Anyways, i dont use it for much, im more of a portable laptop person, but it has to be able to handle the fact im a student so i need word, and power point, i live for WoW and all the sims games from orig. to the upcoming sims 3, photoshops, and video editing, itunes, downloads, aim, and all the other stuff i do. My only problem is money really want to stay under 1500 but im willing to go up to 18 but not past. Any Ideas the more affordable the better.

Answer
I'm looking for almost the exact same thing as you minus WoW. I can't wait for the Sims 3. This is what I think I'm getting:

I'm upgrading to the 2.5 ghz processor, and downgrading to the 250 gb hard drive, and then replacing that hard drive with this one:

I don't know very much about computers but my brother helped me out, and he thinks it will be able to play the Sims 3. I wish they'd give us the requirements all ready XD.
