Laptops and interwebs
I need some advice here.
Gray and i were looking at Iburst for interwebs, is it any good?
I've looked at some laptops, there are some amazing ones at incredibly infected. I'm looking for something under 5000 preferably, but good enough to play some newish games and all that.
Any advice, PLEASE!! I'm desparate here. I need my games.

1st, whats your Budget?
2nd, I'd avoid buying from Incredible corruption
3rd, You've seen my laptop (R10 000 Packard Bell)? Well that I got on a R489 p/m (36 month) Vodacom contract that comes with 750mb a month so that could also work, if you qualify for a contract that is ...

Re: Laptops and interwebs
That's the problem. I don't think i'd qualify for the contract and i don't like debt, seen how it's destroyed my family. So not for me thanks. I'll rather just buy a pc once off.

Honestly I would stay away from iburst as far as fur possible, there accounts department regularly billed me twice, and when I canceled my contract(Gave them 2 months notice even) they tried to charge me for another 3 months afterwards, and when that failed, attempted to black-list me ,took me half a year to sort out.
If possible try and get ADSL 1MB uncapped its cheap now ,trust me you might not think that you need it but once you have a uncapped connection you will never look back.
Afri host is R297 including your Adsl line rental but you need to add R135 for the phone line: http://www.afrihost.com/site/product/un ... es?src=nav
If your looking for something cheaper, go with pay as you go 3G , on pre-paid data Cell C is the cheapest, just get a pay as you go sim buy there smallest bundle R7.50 for 50Megs, thereafter you pay 0.15C per meg so it works out to R150 for a gig, but you will never be surprised by a large bill as the out of bundle rate is allways 0.15c as long as you purchased at least the smallest bundle http://www.cellc.co.za/data-prepaid-pac ... ta-bundles .
If you could there's allso 8ta but you will have to find some fur to help you with the contract R199 for 10Gig and you need to be in the 3G cover area, that most people arent http://www.8ta.com/plans/postpaid-data/i5promo/
Edit: Before considering Iburst please look on mybroadband and hellopeterits filled with complaints.
Look for anything that is AMD fusion powered its cheap enough to be in your budget, but will be able to atleast play some games, at low res, but for that budget there really isnt much to choose from.I've looked at some laptops, there are some amazing ones at incredibly infected.

Re: Laptops and interwebs
Thanks for the advice GC. I'll tell Gray to have a look at it all. As for that last comment, sorry, but i wouldn't be caught dead using AMD. Intel for me all the way no offence. @Terror, you know when i'm free let me know if you wana visit i won't mind.Gothic Collie wrote:Darth Drakon wrote:I need some advice here.

Re: Laptops and interwebs
Normally I wouldn't recommend AMD ether, but on your budget, if you went for a lappy that's intel powered you will be stuck with Intel HD-3000 on board which is terrible at gaming.
For a entry level gaming laptop you should look at around R8000+

Re: Laptops and interwebs
I have a few friends who can get you nice discounts on PC's :3
I'll talk to them on Monday for you, see what they can do.
If my ex was still in the country he could help out more, his dad owned some or other import thing.
