Need recommendation, guys.

Purpose: Photo processing. Photoshop. Gaming.
Budget: Around RM3K. But don't go too far away.
Priority (Most Important > Less Important): Processing Speed > LCD colour accuracy (Size doesn't matter) > Battery Life > Storage > Gaming graphics

Considering (Recommend me similar ones, if there is! ) :
- Dell Studio 14 (2.26GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 4Gb 1066MHz Ram, Radeon HD 4530, HD 720p WLED Display, 6 cell 56WHr / 5200 MAh batt)
- Acer Aspire Timeline 4810TG (Centrino 2 Proc 1.4Ghz, 800MHz FSB, 2Gb Ram, Radeon HD 4330, CineCrystal LED-backlit TFT LCD, 6 cell 5600MAh batt)
- Asus UL80VT (1.3GHz C2D Proc, 4Gb Ram, Nvidia G210M, Widescreen HD LED LCD Display, 12 hours battery life)

Questions:
(1) I got the genuine Windows 7 Professional Edition already. Got NON-OS from these companies? Last time when I bought my Acer, there is.
(2) Heard that Dell batteries can only last for a year? [Here]
(3) G210M got so keng meh? Can play what kind of games ar? Resident Evil 5, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2?

But the processor not as good as Dell's. No?

Err.. In layman terms, "I dont want to buy any Windows!" LOL!!

Btw, does the processor's FSB effects a lot?

Am comparing 800MHz FSB with 1066MHz FSB, and also DDR2 with 1066MHz DDR3 Ram.

Having hardtime in choosing the between two similar models.

Same here. Getting Office Included in the package.



Is it possible to buy from shop? Cuz i rmb they giv more freebies.

Nope. I think it's with the package.

Owh.. I thought can get exact same package if buy from shop. No?

I see.

Btw, is it legal for me to sell my bundled Windows 7?
I got the genuine Pro Edition ady.

Am thinking to sell it off at Garage Sales.

If Dell allowed me to buy Non-Os / free Dos, then problem settled larh.

How much it be sold btw?

Guys, Rm199 for a Targus Synergy Backpack 15.6" + Targus Optical Stow-N-Go laptop Mouse + Targus Traveller's Choice Ultra Compact Speakers.

Worth it ar?

These 3 things, I think I can live with cap ayam ones.
If cap ayam's price about the same, will be getting this then.

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?

- What INTEL did?
- Good AV refering to Avira?

But i got the Office07 liaw wor. If u get what i mean.

Antivirus sounds more sexy atm.

Finally came out with last two choices. Both Dell. Don't dare go for BenQ S42, as I'm uncertain with their LCD quality. Dell gives me more confidence, I guess. Lots photog friends of mine using Dell. But it's External LCD monitor.

Package D1


Package D2


Package D2 sounds better to me. But it's Rm118 more expensive. Rm118 for the extra 1Gb Ram, better shell, longer McAfee usage period. Downside is no Office2007. But I got the edition already.

Any comments?

Means it uses lots CPU Usage? or in layman terms, veli 'eat Ram' arh?

Guys, I'm choosing between Dell Studio 15 and BenQ S57.

Similarities:

Same proc (p8700), Same RAM (4gb), Same Hdd (320Gb), Same 15.6"

Difference:

Dell Radeon 4570, BenQ Radeon 4650

Dell forces people to buy their stupid OS, BenQ gives Linux, which means I can install my own Ws7: Pro Edition

Dell has the custome casing which looked nicer, BenQ looks a bit normal

Dell can still customize more. Eg: 1080p Full HD Lcd, Backlit Keyboard, 7200rpm Hdd etc while BenQ can't do further changing

I would like to go for BenQ, but I do not have any friends using BenQ laptop. There was one using it, but he changed to Dell and praised Dell a lot. And I remember seeing him format his BenQ quite a lot of time lerh. To me, I think Dell's laptop are somehow better than BenQ. But, I can be wrong de marh.

Dell after customization is around Rm3500, with that stupid Ws7: Home Premium.
BenQ is selling for Rm3199 at LYN's StarTec price list.

Mind gimme advise?

Blue Ray not important gua.
Where u saw it btw? SG?

Lots of my friend say BenQ sucksball ler.
i liked the Linux OS and the GC of BenQ. But i'm uncertain with its quality etc.
