Well, there's Dell Vostro 1200@RM1.2-1.4K, Compaq CQ40-712TU@RM1599, Compaq CQ41-208AU@Rm1599 but all of these are freeDOS, if include OS(RM3xx) then its out of budget.
The Inspiron 14@RM1499 and also Dell Inspiron 13@RM1399(but since you got your netbook, 13'' notebook seems redundant...) included Windows 7 Home Basic This post has been edited by lee_what2004: Mar 18 2010, 12:07 AM |

QUOTE(N1ck @ Mar 17 2010, 11:44 PM) Need help Thinking of getting a laptop but don't really have any idea which to get. Those inspiron from dell have attractive prices but Ive seen them in person and I really can't stand the looks. 1. Brand. - not dell cause i find them ugly 2. Budget. less than 2k, cheaper is better 3. Usage - internet surfing, programming, numerical software, microsoft office, youtube 720p, adobe reader, flash games, movies . Most likely will open those programs together 3. Specs. - integrated graphics is fine - likes a good keyboard - prefers good battery life. At least 3 hours 4 is preferred -Accidental warranty or not being flimsy cause I don't handle stuff very well 4. Size - 13 - 14 inch. Less than 2kg, Full size keyboard please. Need to bring around Appearance is important. Thanks  QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Mar 17 2010, 11:50 PM) 14'' with less than 2kg is only one option, Acer 4810TZ@RM1999 Thank you13'' notebook with less than 2K is none other than the Dell Inspiron... But theres so little choices, how about I remove the 2kg weight limit? Its so hard to choose the proper laptop, the only website with easy to see details and pricing is dell's. |

I guess that would be Acer 1810TZ, one of the best 11.6'' culv under 2K, its not netbook since it not using Atom..
How small you want? Similar like Acer 1810TZ? or small notebook? AutoCAD, you wouldn't want to run that in a netbook, especially with their poor resolution, 1024x600... This post has been edited by lee_what2004: Mar 18 2010, 01:51 AM |

If you just want to compare CPU alone, then usually Core 2 Duo is better.
But in this price range, Core 2 Duo usually paired with GMA 4500MHD or lower dedicated graphic card compared to AMD setup. So it depends which is more important to you, GPU or CPU. |

Inspiron 13, reason its lighter, but depends whether built-in optical drive is important or not for you...

QUOTE(jordannoel @ Mar 18 2010, 09:41 AM) do u think that the heat problem for inspiron 13 will affect users? That depends on the user tolerance?Last time I heard, its heat is usually around the center of the keyboard, and its hdd is below the right side of keyboard iinm, so some heat would be from there also... Though I doubt it would overheat unless something blocked the vent, warm I guess.

Multiple monitors are supported. Though the A52Jr should do fine with it, with less optimized driver. Is the 1280x1024 is strictly required? Since most notebook comes with 1366x768 nowadays..
