Looking to buy a laptop online.

[Prophecy]

Ships to Canada.
Good price, good quality.
Maybe customizable ?
Hopefully the company has been around a while.


Any suggestions ?

I have looked at Dell already.

Costco.com: Offering thousands of items you won?t find in your local Costco.

But I don't know if they ship to Canada, you'll have to look on their web site.

Go with the HP Pavillion. DV6T is the one you'd want, stay with Intel. Click Computers, Laptops, HP Store, Customize, and the choices will come up.

dell outlet

Their refurbs are top notch, business lines come with a 3 yr warranty. Just bought one for a client and you wouldn't even know it wasn't new.

$1100 computer for $550.

They are both around the same price...I know so little about laptop technology I am ashamed.

The Acer is the better of the two but probably gets shit for battery life.
