Stay away from HP....there prices suck u in to the trap of a crappy computer that u will be stuck with for a long time...there computers work fine for some time but then you run into the whole mess of problems...plus their service is that of talking to a brick wall...you will get no where and they wont give u any info on how to fix ure computer..I had a loud fan on my hp and the person at the tech services asked me what it sounded like so i honestly made the sound of a loud fan on the phone to these "slightly idiotic" techinicians
I am looking for a laptop that I will be able to run the following programmes; autocad, illustrator, photoshop, flash mx, 3ds max and revit....
would be much if appreciated if someone could recommend me some specific models...
I was looking at Toshiba m30 special edition or Compaq Presario B3813AP...i did look at big desktop replacement types such as Sony Vaio A290, Qosmio and HP zd7000....but not too sure what to get..please help.
