i work at a computer store, and i can’t tell you how many hp’s come into our service station. Dell’s tend to hold up better if you just want to do basic desktop computing. I can tell you right now that is a terrible gaming computer though. 1.8 dual core is nothing anymore, the ram is a bit low since you’d be getting vista premium, and prebuilt pc’s never come with a decent video card unless you spend thousands of dollars. if you want a good gaming computer, build it yourself. if you wanna do that, then we’ll talk.

Why spend big bucks on a bulky pc, when you can purchase an affordable Toshiba Tecra A10-S3501 Refurbished Notebook PC that gets more done and cost le

the info is………… f you’re looking for a powerful notebook PC at a budget price, check out our refurbished Gateway MT6728. This 6.24-pound workhorse carries a 1.6GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core T2330 processor, 2048MB of DDR2 SDRAM memory, and a 160GB 5400RPM SATA hard drive – operating flawlessly on the Windows Vista Home Premium OS. And with a 15.4-inch WXGA display, along with an 8X Multi-format dual layer DVDRW optical drive (with DVD-RAM with Labelflash), you’ll have plenty of opportunity to enjoy great entertainment made all the more realistic by the Gateway MT6728’s onboard Intel graphics Media Accelerator X3100 GPU with up to 384MB of shared video memory. This compact dynamo also boasts high-definition audio, 802.11 a/b/g wireless LAN, integrated 56K modem, 5-in-1 memory card reader, four USB 2.0 ports, and lots more (please see complete specifications below.)

and btw i like playing alot of games like warcraft 3 roc and warcraft3 tft ,starcraft and so on

yea and how much might that cost?

If you like playing games on this computer, I would recommend not having an integrated graphics card. As long as the games are old, you won’t have too much of a problem, although you will definitely notice a major difference in the graphics and smoothness of gameplay if you upgrade the graphics card and the processor clock speed. If you use this computer mainly as a school/business computer, this is a perfect computer for you; I had one exactly like this (except it was a Toshiba with a little less shared video memory and a 200gb hard drive, but otherwise almost identical) and it worked perfect for my needs (I go to college and use it mainly for movies and word processing), although when I started playing games like Halo it would show the limits of its computing power. Now I have a 2.0ghz dual core processor with 4gb RAM and a nVidia GeForce 8400 sharing 2 gb video memory and there is definitely a noticeable difference when it comes to games, but when it comes to school work, the only difference is how fast the applications open.

Can I remedy this easily? Also, what specifics should I look for in my search for a used, refurbished pc, for my son who is a big gamer?

I believe it means you don’t have Microsoft Windows installed on that hard drive. Or possibly it’s booting to a different partition or secondary hard drive that has no operating system.

Most likely, you just need to re-format the hard drive and re-install Windows.

For a gaming computer, I think the most essential components would be the CPU, the video card, and the RAM. Online computer forums will give you a good idea of what is "high-end" these days.

Good luck!

I have a theory about refurbished products in general. They were returned under warranty so they are most likely less than a year old. The repairs were made and hopefully the whole unit was checked by quality control after that. With the exception of some cosmetic issues it might be better than new. Valid theory? Who knows. I would not recommend buying a Toshiba, I own one and love it, because for some strange reason they only have a 30 day warranty. With most other brands that I see the warranty is a year. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

Well if your buying refurbished from say tiger direct I would say that they are better than a new one of the same model heres why. This machine has been gone over with a fine tooth comb to track down the original defect that caused it to be r.m.a.’d to start with especially if its "factory refurbished" The quality assurance is far more rigorous on a refurbished system ..

I have seen the HP facility where this is done and have bought several such systems for individuals who did not want a custom build and am happy to say that I have never received a call back on any of them…

No manufacturer wants to see the same system returned twice, it begins to cost them money after that ..

Except for gateway don’t get a Gateway period their consumer side customer service sucks…

Hope that helped..
