Not good for viewing? 17'' certainly will give better viewing but the problem is when travelling with it, its weight 2.9KG alone and with its form factor, it might be troublesome...

oh i see,so 17" will have a better view?(my friend said that 14" has a better view)Then i don't see any problem with me already.2.9kg shouldn't be lot of burden to me.
Do you advice me to buy the vostro 3700 when it is still on promotional price now or wait for the promotion over?

Better view as in what you mean? Angle viewing?

Well, the thing is we don't know what will happened after promotion over, worst, the price increase by another RM650, which makes Studio XPS 16 be a wiser choice...

k.thanks.I think i would go for the vostro 3700.better get it before the promotion end.><Is it advisable to chat with the sales advisor at dell website?what should we ask for?

Better call them, might be able to get some discount after with some upgrade
You also can choose colour or 64-bit Windows, just need to inform them...

Can call and nego, the "Windows tax out" for free Ubuntu Linux (or none)?

I can't open the link, its error, where do you see it? Can give screenshot?
Hope you don't mix it up with Dell US

Maybe for the Vostro, since its stated on the website as optional, but after april...

Dear All Lowyatster,

I want to buy a notebook/laptop... but dont know which one is better to purchase.
I try DELL, but end up i have to cancel my order due to delivery and some technical problem on their side (penalty charges RM80 for canceling).

My budget for this notebook is around RM2.5k
- Requirement i5 Processor
- 4G ram
- better graphic card
- and the normal spec

Usage of this notebook/laptop is to watch movie, play games, online, Microsoft words, excel, and etc..
No graphic, video editing or any 3D modeling stuff..

Thanks for the advise. If possible can pay by installment.

Thank you very much,
Daniel

Compaq CQ41-214TX, i5 430M + ATi HD4350@RM2549
though better gaming performance would be Asus A42Jr/A52Jr, i3 350M + ATi HD5470@RM2599...

Hi Lee_what,

thanks for the advise.

Can we watch 1080p Full HD movie using 720p resolution laptop, like 1366x768 ?

Can, its just that the video will be downscaled to 720p....

Actually down scalled to the scree's res. (which is @1366x768... or any other screen res)... the only typical notebook screen that actually does 720p (1280x720 @16:9) is the 1280x768 screen (that is actually 16:10)

I see ~~ thx for ur information~~

hi lee.sorry..i see wrong.really it's in us dollar.Must we call dell on phone or can we just have an online chat with the sales advisor for the discount?

Not really, but you might have a chance getting free bag or discount if you good in bargain..

must we call dell or can just have an online conversation with them?

Either way is fine...
