Hello guys,

I have checked laptops at lots of places but always average systems. even laptops which seem to be strong is not that strong.

do you have any idea where to find extreme laptops in Helsinki? maybe not really ''extreme'' or latest technology but really strong one with gforce 8 or 9 or gtx, 7200 rpm HDD, 4 or 8 gb ram, intel duo 9400 9600 or QUAD.

thank you

Do you really need such a laptop? You can get a way better desktop for much lower price, with upgradability. Your "fast laptop" would already be outdated when you buy it, and after a year or two it's old slow technology. Get a normal laptop if you need a laptop, or get a fast desktop. If you want both, then buy both, bit not in the same package.

Are you such an idiot to understand the OP's post request or so friggin arrogant to tell someone what they Need and want!!
The OP didnt ask anything about lower price or upgradeability or being outdated!!
If you didnt understand that the OP wants the laptop for, read their post and then *THINK* ...

to the OP, Have you tried searching in hintaseuranta or vertaa sites ? OR you can also search some sites like http://gms.facepaw.net

I'm giving OP some advice. I've seen too many people wasting their money on a "gaming laptop", and be disappointed because it didn't perform that well. If you want to waste money on a "gaming laptop", feel free to do so. But, unless you really really really need it, it's just waste of money. Think thrice before buying one, as you can get a 3 times better desktop for lower price than a "gaming laptop" costs.

http://www.avadirect.com/product_detail ... PRID=10051 this may be what you're looking for. Anyway, you won't find any this powerful laptops in Finland, but that's what web stores are for.

Its like poking your nose into a pile of cr*p!! The OP has already said that they searched for many and are not satisfied with it..and wanted to find some in HEL/FI ...
There ARE specialty shops here But you do need to know..
E.g. beesting can custom build ti for you..so do Multitronic.. and even verkkokauppa can custom order one..

I need to buy such laptop because I often travel because of business, to see my family, etc. I also would like to buy better desktop system with half price.

Thank you for websites. I really didn't know any of them (except ebay

) There are really very good laptops. I will check them in detail.

Hello guys,

I have checked every single laptop almost but i see that it is more expensive than i expected so i decided to be fixed my graphical card.

Where can i get trustworthy Nvidia technical service (with worldwide guarantee if it is possible)? I know that i burned the chip of my graphical card so it needs to be changed. If you can help me, I will be very happy.

thank you

You CAN NOT fix/get your card fixed for a reasonable price. You CAN switch your graphics card to another one. Are you talking about a laptop or desktop computer here? Switching a laptop gpu to an other one is too expensive/hard to do, but for desktops it should cost no more than 50 euros plus a new graphics card.

It's easy to take the card out and put one in yourself, too. You don't need any Nvidia tech support for that. If you want it to be done by someone else than you, then head to a local store selling computer parts and ask if they could do it for you. I know that Jimm's PC Store can do that (it can be found in Hki at Kamppi, and in some other cities, too. More info can be found on their website.

If your computer is very old or a laptop, you're better off buying a new one, as you may not find fitting parts or they may be very expensive.

hello,

it is laptop. I need new graphic card. I know it can't be fixed because i burned its chip. I need to buy new one but I don't know where can i get it. Jimm's PC store... never heard or seen it at Kamppi. I will check this place.

if you know finnish, may you show me the graphic cards place for laptop at this website?

thank you

think they don't have laptop graphics card showcased on their website, and I also doubt that they will install one to your laptop. This is because taking out a laptop gpu is, in most cases, very hard. So is putting one in. The process may well fail, rendering your laptop useless. It also is probably expensive. Of course, you can ask them via mail, phone or in person. Here's the contact details (in Finnish). If they won't do it, they can at least tell you if there is some store that can do it.

Now that I looked at their contact page, I saw that their store is located at kauppakeskus Arabia. I don't know where that is, but they have a google maps link on their site to it.

Hope this helps!
