Just ordered a Vostro 3700 last night.
Price ended up at RM2,923.00.Only upgrade I took was changing home basic to premium.

Did not upgrade the warranty to 3 years,was that a bad choice?Any chance I could extend on a later date?I mean,looking around the forum,most of you said the build was tough.So am hoping it'll last a good 4,5 years.

p.s are all the owners satisfied with the units they have after a month or so using it?was contemplating on whether to go with a sxps 16 or the vostro.Going with this instead since the pictures of the unit looks a tad 'tougher'

Uhm,probably would take 2 weeks for my unit to arrive.
In the mean time,trying to get ready for its coming.
Wondering,should I get a cooler for it?
If I should,what type,can anyone recommend please.
Prefer it to be cheap(<rm100),but efficient =P but if the laptop is in need of a better cooler model,I guess I'm willing to stretch my budget

Yay,finally got mine after 10 days of suffering =P

Ah,so fresh the system.Nothing inside.
Would like to ask,usually,what are the "must have" softwares you guys got going when getting a fresh laptop?
I mean,stuff that I need to get the maximum from this lappy.I've dl GPU-Z(1st time using) for fun,mayb something along that line.

So far,I've only got YM,Itunes,Chrome and flying spaghetti monster(wc3).Mayb OpenOffice later and some engineering software.
