QUOTE(giaogiao @ Dec 7 2009, 09:35 PM) Dunno is it possible to request for Linux OS from Dell.  Why they make it in a way that they are FORCING us to take their Windows? We are the one paying them marh. And I always believe money is always right.  Heard anyone got Linux OS for Dell laptop?
ADDON: If you were given chance to choose to get Office 2007 for Student or 3 years McAfee antivirus, which one will you go after? well, probably Dell have some agreement with MS... it's not uncommon in the world of IT... juz look at wat Intel did (*AHEM*) and u know... i would go for Office... 1) McAfee is crap 2) there are free and good AV waiting to be downloaded... |

well, in the early 2000s, Intel basically rebate OEMs billions of US$ if they agree not to use AMD in their systems at all...
some of those involved are HP, Dell, IBM....

well, to be honest, BenQ's monitor is pretty good also... they have their own range of LCD monitors as well... in fact iirc they make their own LCD panel... Dell's ones (for the external ones at least) are from Samsung, and they make crappy ones at times...
if u insist on Studio 15, i would choose D2, but throw away McAfee...

not as resource hungry as the old Norton, but for a paid AV, it's not a very good one...

i believe u re talking abt CW16... it's probably the highest spec 14" u can find in the market...
but performance:ratio wise, i would prefer BenQ S42... or Asus U80V for the battery life...

i ve seen Asus F83Vf in Singapore before, the spec is also pretty decent.. not sure if u can find it in Malaysia...
anyway, if u really can't find, go with Dell Studio 15, but check with Dell staff regarding warranty...

1) they thought BenQ = Acer and Acer = bad, while in actual fact, BenQ has left Acer long ago (actually BenQ makes their own LCD panel... their monitor are really  ) 2) never heard of, so no confidence 3) Dell has on-site service (but iirc BenQ has pick up service as well) |
