WEI = Windows Experience Index...the thing that measures your spec and show you the score for the performance of each hardware ..well, nothing that would affect the performance

Added on May 9, 2010, 4:09 pmWell, like the others already point out, its always better to have one laptop with a dedicated GC than without it cause when comes to rendering any flash for YT, it would help much better than Intel (integrated GC)...

today i went to the shop to have a GOOD look at the compaq (CQ42) model...cos i'm reli interested to buy it liao..


BUT then, only then i notice, the connector between the keyboard and the LCd is just hooked on just 2 hinge!!!!...

is this risky?.. i mean if after long term of opening and closing the lid, will the hinge go loose and drop off?..


if i compare with the acer model, at least the hinge between the lcd and the keyboard is connected together in a row...like the whole stretch is connected together...

so, sifu and experts, pls advise me whether is it advisable to get the compaq, although the connecting part between the lcd and kayboard is on juz 2 hinge nia?...

Acer Aspire 4741G i3 330, Nvidia 310M, 500GB now 2199 very worth Many shops has this price.

err this thread becoming WEI thread already...

y not consider dell laptop?

ya...I think DELL is more suitable..

Nope, iirc almost all Compaq laptop are like that and my friend been using his CQ41 for almost a year now..always open/close because bring to travel, so far now loose connector ...

Unless you are a rough person that closed/opened your laptop with rough power then even 10 hinges won't be enough

Added on May 21, 2010, 6:40 pmWell, Dell Inspiron 14R would be a nice choice also, comes with HD5470

This post has been edited by miahahaha: May 21 2010, 06:40 PM

Haa.. anyone using 13R here? Mind to post me the WEI? =)

asus EEE Pc 1201N, mobility at it's best! Got it, Love it!

oic.. just tat i'm paranoid..

nope..dell dun give laptop bag or any free gifts...although i know they do make gud product..

anyway, their recent product lineup isn't priced very competitively with competition..juz my personal opinion...not an obliging statement to start flame war about DELL..

CQ42 is a great notebook. Aspire 4741G is also great.
which one would you choose then?
i've tested both notebook and i love them both.. couldnt make a pick myself lol.

maybe other option...??

below RM 2500 can get better than those
