SSD in a laptop for day to day...then get an external hard drive with USB for storage. That's what I'd do if I got a new desktop. SSD for operating system, HDD for everything else.

I have to remember this thread the next time I'm on the market.  Good stuff!

Yes they are, and are great in laptops because it really helps keep them cool (SSD's have no moving parts like a normal hard drive does).

Greetings all you Computer shoppers,
Option # 2 is available at Costco for $899.99 on sale for $699.99 till 29 Nov 17 (Notice the military type date)
Option # 3 is available at Costo for $749.99 not on sale.

Neither one of these have SSD.  If you can afford one...lighting fast. 

Best of luck

I'm glad I held off getting the computer. I just got Costco's holiday sale booklet and they have a different one, a tad better, for $100 less!  I have to wait til the 17th to buy it, though.

Thanks, Snap!  I have added the same hardware found in a gaming pc to a regular laptop and the gaming price is much higher, still.  I will probably NOT look for a "gaming" computer, but will find one as close as possible.

We used to ONLY buy Dell, but their CS sucks now.
I've had HP and not been thrilled, but that was years ago!
The one I have now and LOVE is a Toshiba, but BB doesn't sell them anymore.
I don't know enough about Asus to have a lot of confidence in them. But with your recommendation I'll take a closer look!

Thanks!

Personally, I avoid HP at all costs. I refuse to ever buy/own another one in any format. Too many bad experiences in the past. For a laptop I'd probably go Asus as my first choice taking into consideration cost. Lenovo would be my 2nd choice with probably Dell being third.

I'm out of the loop on gaming laptops, but be prepared to pay...big. They may be better with graphics/cooling/processing but you'll pay dearly for it. Maybe start researching with something like this: https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2020688,00.asp

I bought a gaming laptop recently but have not used it that much. It is almost like my desktop but I play games a lot so it meets my needs. The times that I have used it it was fine on what I did on it.

My desktop is newer than my laptop but has less oomph. I could use it in a pinch, but I really need a laptop.

I like that the Dell extended warranty is on-site, whereas the Costco warranty is not.  But I think I'm going to go with the HP from Costco and hope for the best. Also, I THINK I'm going to wait until Black Friday and see what's offered. If I can get an even better computer for the same price, that's what I'll do.

Does anyone have an opinion on a gaming laptop?  I would think that would have better graphics, a better cooling system, a better processor....

I love my desktop.

I use a desktop computer, so I'm not entirely sure which brands are the best.

I appreciate all the info! Does anyone have any brand recommendations?

Awesome, thank you! I'm off to Costco and Best Buy!  I know what it costs at Costco. I want to see if BB price matches.

I think it is worth it. If you need something that is going to work hard go with number 3.
