If you’re looking for good buy on a laptop, I found a really nice one. Tiger Direct has this Acer Aspire V3-551-8469 NX.RZAAA.008 Notebook PC (Black) marked down from $499 to $449, plus a $50 MIR, which makes it $399 + FREE shipping!
Now before you gloss over these specifications, please note that a couple of these are very important when choosing a laptop:
- AMD Quad-Core A8-4500M 1.9GHz Processor – This Quad-Core processor (versus a single or dual) means it will allow for quicker performance on your computer. Any normal tasks like surfing or word processing will run very quickly on this computer, and you can even run gaming and video-editing without seeing tremendous slow downs in performance.
- 4GB DDR3 Memory – This is the amount “short-term” memory your computer has to function quickly by remembering where you’ve been and functioning at a high level. 4 GB is right in the middle (you can go under 1GB or up to 8GB), and is what hubby has on his computer, and it runs very well.
- 500GB HDD Hard Drive – This the amount of space you have on your hard drive. The more GB hard drive you have, the more room you have for pictures, videos, music, and other programs or software you want to run. 500 GB is at the high end of “average” computer hard drives (you can go up to over 1 TB), and will satisfy 99% of the people who just need a laptop for every day average use.
- DVDRW (lets you burn DVD’s that are rewriteable)
- 15.6″ Display (size of your monitor)
- Windows 8 64-bit (operating system – this will be different than Windows 7 or Windows XP or Vista or whatever you currently have)
I point out all of those things because you’re getting a lot with this computer for the price. It would be perfect for any student going away to college, perfect for use at home or on the road.
