last time i oso allocate rm5k for notebook ,alwyz eyeing on high end notebooks then my flen keep advice me get a normal notebook mebe ~rm2-3k....then use for 2-3yrs lik tat, change again...by then, who knows integrated mem controller ,entire new mobo architecture is fittin into notebook d....that time ur 'fast' notebook is very louya compare to a even low entry new-from-scratch-tech notebook aka nahelam-based chipset
now i veli happy my magnesium alloy rm2k dual cores notebook, still great improvement from my 4.5yrs solo core centrino ...2-3yrs i change again surely mustb faster than ur rm5k notebook today hehe

after 3 yrs we dun play crysis...

who knows by then we re at DX13 already...

An 2-3k laptop even cannot use "now" , so how it will be faster than a 5k laptop after 2 years ?

2-3k laptop can it play crysis with 20fps now ? sure not.

after 3 years a NEW 2-3k laptop u means can play crysis at 20+ fps ?  

i think he didn't get what you mean la astria

Better get a laptop that decent enough (means that specs that can actually last for 2,3 years[although it is impossible] but with good/reasonable price)..

*computer specs improved by the day now,so better choose a laptop than worth investing 

I heard from somewhere most lappies regardless of brand are equipped with combo DVD/CD-ROM drives that is almost sure to give problem in 2 years time.

I started to believe it as my ex-laptop Twinhead DVD/CD-ROM drive went down in less than 2 years. My current toshiba lappie DVD/CD-ROM drive finds it hard to read data CD in less than 2 years. (watching DVD is fine).

And I hardly use that drive. Maybe pop in a CD to be read ONCE a day, and I burned CDs LESS THAN 30 times in the last 2 years.

By 2 years, the power adaptor also finally give in. And what's their "pricetag" in replacing one? $200++. Even the generic $8 power cord can be found in most PC shops these days, will be marked up by the service centre and $20++ a piece.

No matter what, most lappies will be obsolete after 3 years , and their original manufacture no longer "keen" to support it (if they do, they'll charge like hell), since as what most company do, they only focus on releasing more and more new products to keep up with the competition. Spending a premium on it are meant for those truly rich.

Oh, another fella who buy laptop for display, 

just the fact when one compare a laptop with wife... thats abusive... discrimination?

Just when you make an example of ugly wife is very capable to design of s57 with its performance, its flaming, abusive and discrimination in that sense.

Did I failed again? Or you just keep twist with your word?
