so i m planning to get this laptop with these specs but like finerprint reader n sum small significant extra specs for $1000. No delievery charges n stuff. I would really appreciate if some of you took some time n give me a suggestion.

LG P1-J004A9 for $1000 or should i go for hp, sony or other brands eventhough they mite be slightly more expensive.

 

If you game hard, this might not be the machine for u. But for normal day uses, it is more than enuf.

 

eventhough pc is hype for games i rather prefer playin on tv. Thx for the help.

 

I think that's a good deal. xD But indeed only for low/med games.

 

FOR flight sim 9 and XIII i've tried it is GREAT!

 

hmm 1k for all that sounds actualyl VERY good..as LG as brand is not as well known than sony,b but i'm not sure if LG quality is actually worse.

 

I have personally touched the S1 and Z1... the quality is very good, i can say that it is better than sony (Sonys' quality have been dropping recently). But on to the E500, it is so so... like a sony.
