Help Needed with buying a laptop.

[victorlebza]

Hi Guys.
Am planning to buy a laptop nextweek. My budget is Max R6000 and I work in the Menlyn/Faerie Glen Area in Pretoria.

I'll first check out Incredible Connection and Makro. Are there any places that might give me much more value for money in the areas that i mentioned? My ideal basic specs are, min 500GB hd, min 3GB RAM, built-in Bluetooth, Win 7, min 13" display, Blu Ray, camera, fingerprint identification. Lastly, i should be able to play my Fifa and Need For Speed Games. Can't think of anything more at the moment.

You cant get Blu Ray with that budget.

Use price comparison websites like jump.co.za or pricecheck.co.za. Incredible and Makro do have specials from time to time but generally their products are inferior to a lot of other places when matching price point to price point.

You can trust that that Gigabyte model is the best bang for your buck at the moment.
If you do want fingerprint identification, you could get an HP at Incredible but at worse specs obviously.
Oh and I've bought 3 laptops from them, they are legit.

If you buy an extra 2GB of RAM from them, they will install it for you if you want.

I should be able to play my Fifa and Need For Speed Games.

From time to time i would want to let off some steam, work can be very demanding at times. So demanding in fact even having a female creature around is not a solution. LOL
