But he is looking for a laptop.
If looking for a desktop i would send him to AllPCZONE, where i prayerfully got this for 578.00, which price for quality i would have a hard time beating if i built it myself, and could have payed less.
I customized the BUILD MY OWN AMD FX/X2/X4/X6 SYSTEM OR BAREBONE choice

All for 578.00
I should have gone with AMD BULLDOZER FX-6300 as it runs at 95 watts and cooler, but the 6350 was only 7 more.
Also the 1x OKIA Heavy Duty CASE COOLER for 6.00 more would have been better, and a different CPU cooler because the $35.00 AMD COPPER HIGH PERFORMANCE COOLING FAN is a load screamer.
A major upgrade was Asus 970 mobo, which offers more than the default one, and the Corsair 430 PSU for $50.00 more, but Techies say the PSU is very important upgrade.
The ALLPCZONE ENTERPRISE MID-TOWER ATX CASE has a lot of bays, and is better than others in its price range i think.
And it is fast, and can be overclocked, and i thank God for it!
Note also that you get 3yrs warrant and lifetime free tech, on the phone with a real English speaking techie, who (Edward) was knowledgeable and helpful, and offers much advice besides fixing problems.
I actually had as problem with a BIOS firmware upgrade that did not work, and i had to send it back, but they fixed it for free in about a week, except for 35.00 shipping as it was my fault.
Only thing i think needs improvement is better email updates on the progress of repairs. And praise Jesus!
Sorry for posting and running, everyone. Busy day.
Thank you all. I am reading your posts and studying. And thinking.
Oopsy. Kind missed that bit.
