Hi

I need to buy a laptop but not sure which brand is good.


1. Brand

Anything is ok except Acer


2. Budget.

RM2500 - RM3000


3. Specs.

500gb HDD
2GB RAM at least
Windows 7
HDMI port (if possible)

4. Size

13" or 14" monitor
Weight doesn't matter


5. Usage

30% Surf internet
40% downloads,
10% burn DVD
5% photo editing
10% normal use of MS word/excel
5% gaming

My friend who is working for Dell says that those who returned faulty laptops/monitor/etc under warranty will get a new one BUT they repair those faulty ones and resell as new. Staff also will get chance to buy repaired ones at very cheap price if they cannot sell them.
That is why I try not to buy Dell if possible...but very tempted by how nice they look lol with so many colors.

I have friends who recommended Toshiba but I checked the website, there are so many range and many different names under Toshiba. Not sure which is good.

Help!

My friend bought acer once, spoil the same day lol
But that was a few years ago ler..

Lenovo is china production company which bought over IBM Thinkpad rights, correct? And the tech support still from IBM but I read somewhere that it ends in 2009. Now dunno how is it like...

Anyway hopefully the laptop won't will remain in good condition forever and so, no need good support also alright...

Dunno where is the best place to buy in Penang..

I think mostly depends on luck, just like handphone...
