buy new or wait?

so i been debating on upgrading to a NP8662 now or wait 1-2 more years before buying a new laptop.
what do you guys think.

 

I think you should do whatever you want. It's not like we can predict what's to come in the future nor anything about you. Nothing.

 

Depends, for the most part, the 8662 will be able to play games many years to come, just not at the best settings. If you wait 2 years, you can buy a laptop that will be able to play again, for many years, play games to come, just not at optimal settings. And 2 years from that time, 4 years into the future, you can buy a laptop and etc etc. It really depends on how content you are with your current laptop. Its a huge mistake if your content to shell out the cash to buy a new one and not be satisfied with the performance increase.

 

i guess i am happy with my current one on med setting for games.
hmmm i will wait, want to buy a supercharger kit for my car

 

Thats great!
Buy now.No wait. Buy now then wait.Great thread!

 

i am just here to hear people option on what would they do. if it's a good time to upgrade or stick with the current laptop because it's still will be powerful enough for the next 2-4 yrs of use. if i wait i prob would go all out on laptop this time.
you don't have to be so sarcastic on your comments.

 

No one here can answer that question for you, that's why you're getting so much sarcasm.

When it comes down to it, we're not here to tell you how to spend your money... If you want to upgrade, upgrade. If you don't want to, obviously in 1-2 years technology will advance and there will be much better options if you can wait.

If you're happy with your setup, why upgrade. If you can wait 1-2 years, why upgrade? That's my opinion. Now do whatever you want with your own money.

 

If you are able to wait, i say go for it. i7's are just around the corner, and lets face it, nothing will be better then the i7 in terms of gaming. You get the speed of core 2 duo, but the 4 cores of quad core. I'm fairly certain games won't be coming out for a long while that will be able to fully ultilize an i7. And you never know, maybe they'll come out with an i8 (for the eight cores that it'll use).

 

i was using amd xp cpu before i got this laptop it was like night and day playing games on this compare to my old desktop.
guess i am just too indecisive sometime.

 

You said it best.
Look everyone want's the latest and greatest tech but the thing every individual has to figure out is the price/performance ratio worth it.

 

Currently Intel and nVidia are about to release their new products ( Q4 09 / Q1 10 ) . So if you dont want to wait a few months and get the latest C2D(C2Q)/280M laptop then go ahead . If it is going to be clevo chances are you would be able to upgrade it when the new platform comes .

Or you could wait a little , get your supercharger and then start saving for a laptop .

 

Wait, save the money, get a life, save yourself.

Buy the supercharger.. Kick car over laptop anyday

Just think about the ladies.. Which would they prefer, hear that engine roar, or show off your crysis skills number one, i think

 

Buy now, enjoy now, don't worry about what is coming in the future. I am too busy enjoying all of the gaming on my NP8662 to care about the next best thing.

While I am having a laugh in GTA IV throwing grenades out of moving vehicles or launching missiles at helicopters I don't suddenly stop and think ''damn I wish I waited''. We will enjoy less if we always wait for the next best thing. The only exceptions I will make is if I know for sure that the next best thing is very close.

For example, I originally planned to order an NP8660 but waited because I knew the NP8662 would be out in a very short time.

 

A better question might be when was the NP8660 and NP8662 released and when might the next version come out? What new features would be included that you can't live without and must wait for? If it's really far off go ahead and buy it now.

 

the answer to the first questions is the W860CU:

I already just bought my M860ETU... so too late

 

i am going hold out and wait for SSD drive to be a bit more reasonable in price.

 

I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you how I make that decision. If every application/game I want to run runs OK on my old computer I stick with it. If some very desirable application/game comes along that won't run on my old computer I get a new one.

I realize that strategy isn't much fun, but it saves a lot of money.

 

Want mine ? How much do you offer ?

 

It might be worthwhile to wait if some new stuff was already annouced to come out, but take also into account that new stuff will also come slow to the buyers.
