any specific usage? screen size? battery life? weight?

as for now, price:performance, is benq s42
but if warranty is a major concern, better take studio 15.
though asus k50ab might be a good choice, since new technology is coming next year.
if your autocad/photoshop is not yet really complex, consider asus k50ab, should be enough, its also comes with 2 years international warranty~

what price am i expecting for the asus? i think window 7 need to be into consideration.... would the autocad run with it? or need xp as OS?

u think if get the studio 15 should get the processor t6600 or the p8700 since the difference price of rm 500
which is better my fren?

the asus should be rm 1999 with no OS. xp run fine with it.

well, if you want to have p8700 and in budget, consider benq s42.
well, in some shop, it can be found for rm 2799, no OS perhaps. Quality wise, after 4-5 months by friend bought it, so far no complain

but if need to choose between t6600 or p8700, choose the t6600 unless you has special needs for Virtualization, since t6600 doesn't support it.
the extra rm 500 can be used for 3 years complete cover instead.

well, as for difference performance between those two cpu, should be couple seconds/minute slower for a task being done, if its an intensive task, still it does the job done.

aww really headache, wonder i should use till that good or not the processor...

inspiron?
studio?
3 years warranty?

or other brand?

i believe a c2d should be good enough for me...
should i go budget or performance wise...

u guys think its worth to spend on a laptop that much??

u pay wat u get bro....i think asus k40ab is better....tiz is wat i think....rm1999....if u buy other more powerfull processor...like studio need add rm700+...better save the money....tiz is my opinion...

Acer 4736G - RM2399
2.2Ghz, 2MB Cache, 4GB Ram, G105M, Win 7, 3 Years Warranty

or

k40AB - RM1999
2.1Ghz, 1MB Cache, 2GB Ram, HD4570, Free Dos, 2 Yrs Warranty

I read lots of comments for K40AB is value for $$...but how about the Acer above with additional stuff...in terms for surfing, music, video, moderate gaming..

K40Ab for gaming...

if u want Intel latform with similar performance, Lenovo G450.. .T6600 with G 210M

thanks for the info there bro
really open up my choice
actually i've already stated that this lappy is for my bro
he will be generally doin office work and surfin with it
i cant think of any special requirement that he required
and yes, it would be a long list to do if u just take RM2.8k into consideration
that why i ask for recommendation = meaning, what u all knew/experienced that has a good review
thanks to u 2, now i have 2 choice to consider
1. Dell Studio 15
2. BenQ S42

anymore guys?

With your budget i guess none can beat both model that you already listed...

My choice would be S42...better in performance if compared to Dell...but Dell wins when it come to warranty (i'm not saying BenQ warranty is bad~its also )

thanks bro for the note
will let my bro know bout this

p/s: happy birthday 2 u

Thanks ...

anyway, your bro does game a lot??? If not then maybe you can consider laptops with a long-life battery span...your bro travel a lot??

nope. no game and no travel
just a plain simple work stuffs and browsing the web

in that case, even a Inspiron is good enough... dun need to spend so much money...

Yup, even Timeline series already good enough for your bro...can save the extra money for extended warranty or other stuff ..

Asus k40ab and Lenovo G450....dun noe want choose which anyone got idea on it?
