Hi Guys ,

Currently my laptop is nearly 4 years old now.. Lately it hang quite often.. and sometimes just a few tasts are being running (internet explorer, skype, and an engineering drawing software. . ) it hang too and i have to switch off and On again is that considered an old laptop and need to consider buying a new one ?

Im an engineering student , looking at the Alienware M15X currently .. it look cool any suggestion for me guys ? Prefer those which can stand heat . . because i seldom feel like switching off my laptop

well thanks for the info bro I see those laptop are considered as gaming laptop .. I am not too into gaming .. just wondering if the most basic Spec from M15X is good for normal use + some engineering usage . .

here's the link

Ouch .. 4 kg guess i really have to consider your suggestion .. coz now my old one is about 2.8 ++ kg and it`s really inconvenient to bring

sounds better idea . ..

acer .. . will the newer acer product has better cooling system or better heat sink ?? im currently using acer ... it's very very hot !!

how old is yours ?? mine is nearly 4 yrs old .. it's actually the one with ferrari carbon fiber casing

a ha ... nice to hear that . .thought that i was going to forget acer forever .. looks like you guys have just changed my mind ..

good stuff

There's one thing that I am always confused about .. why are some laptop like alienware (the very basic package) so expensive while the specs are just so so . . while some other brand like acer could be so good in spec with reasonable price . . are there any difference in term of quality ? any advice for me ?

awww... so Premium is always the expensive one and not worth uh . ..

hmm .. but still . . considering that you buying *in US .. with the price , you could go for many better and cheaper laptops

btw , what's R&D ?? :S
