Is bigger size usually = better tahan in heat since ultra thin laptop usually heat up faster.
at 1st thinking of A42Jv only but considering bigger size bcoz thinking it would be good to play game and watch Movie with a big screen laptop.
Don't want regret carrying a big and heavy laptop..So I'm in dilemma.
any other brand recommend?
Fujitsu or Toshiba?
heard Toshiba's screen view look better coz they manufacture TV screen?
*
Manufacture TV Screen? Not Samsung the best ar? haha laugh.gif
Yeap, usually bigger laptops have better heat dissipation, still sometimes it depends on the cooling system smile.gif
I don't recommend using a 15 incher especially if you are always on the go (based on personal experience hehe) I used to own an 14 incher before this.
15 inchers are not heavy (around 0.5kg heavier than normal 14 inchers), its the size which makes it rather hard to move about, knock here knock there haha

Toshiba and Fujitsu's specs cannot compare with the Asus o icon_rolleyes.gif

you are using a 15inches laptop aswell, so what do you think?
I don't travel alot only like once every 2months mayb from Penang to PJ
*
After using my 15 inch Qosmio for some time I still prefer 14 inchers or smaller haha sweat.gif
Unless you really don't move the laptop at all, then its okay... I travel from time to time and I also like bringing my laptop around even when in my house so its still abit cumbersome LOL laugh.gif
Plan to make my Qosmio a permanent desktop replacement soon, better choose an 14 incher to save the hassle nod.gif

For me personally, I would think that 14" still big.
13.3" or smaller more ideal since I also travel from time to time.
But too bad not much choice of powerful laptop of that size.
Lookin for other powerful small laptop other than m11x.  smile.gif
*
Yeah, since I already have a 15 incher, will most probably look for 13.3 or smaller nod.gif
Powerful 13.3 inch laptops still got la, but 11.6 inch category currently dominated by M11x haha laugh.gif

if you have 14" already, should get 8.9" to travel. UNfortunately, 8.9" no more sad.gif

10" also small la... no different... but when you're outside, i dun think u'll surf for long..hahah...important is portability...

8.9" vs 10"...size big different?
*
The difference is very big eh based on my experience haha
Perhaps is because of different resolutions also nod.gif

Still my minimum is 11.6inch... if not too strain for the eyes sweat.gif

yeap, I was thinking to buy a 15inches as I thought I might use Smartphone as alternative gadget to online when I'm outside home , so I told myself might aswell get a bigger screen laptop for multimedia(watching movie) usage as mobile web surfing is gonna be replaced by smart phone....so laptop size might not doesnt matter unless u gotta bring your laptop everywhere.

why is Toshiba & Fujitsu worth a better price than Asus.apa yang lebih baik dengannya?
takkan now Asus same range with Acer and Compaq d?
*
Well, if you don't mind surfing the net with your Smartphone outdoors then its definitely better to get a larger lappy for multimedia at home hehe nod.gif

Probably because Toshiba, Fujitsu and Sony has better built materials? They are known for being reliable 1 even though reliability is also largely dependent on how you take care of your laptop laugh.gif
Asus and Acer has a lot of good products lately and are currently dominating the market I think haha Not sure about Compaq, don't like Compaq rclxub.gif

Hi guys, if got seller offer me N82JQ for rm3489, should I still wait for A42JA? Since the N series supposed to be higher end? And what about the GPU, not much difference in performance between 335GT and HD5730 right? TQ.
*
N series should be better built and offers more features, which is why they are more expensive nod.gif

looking for another lappie, this time for my sis:

main usage: internet/thesis writing hence mobility/battery life is important
screen size: 11-12inch
weight: less than 1.5kg
budget: ~2k

she's eyeing portege t210. is that a wise choice? or is there better options out there?
*
I don't really like the shinning materials used for the T210 but it has received a lot of praise from reviews...
Review for the T215D (different processor) here: http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/to...lite-t215d.aspx
The T210's price is more than RM2k... noneed to extend warranty since Toshiba is holding an event which gives away free 2nd & 3rd year warranty.
Not sure about the M101z's weight, but can consider that 1 too, its way cheaper nod.gif

seems like she already set her sight on that t210. thanks for your feedback though. she would be happy for the 2/3 year warranty. as well as the price tag that i'm getting her 2089 with a free dvd writer

No prob... be sure to get the free 2nd and 3rd year warranty (original costs RM299) here: http://www.celebratewithtoshiba.com/
Grats 1st on the purchase laugh.gif

PF T.J, how to get the free warranty, i did ask from toshiba resellers, they mentioned we've to buy it.
i think one of the benefit of this toshiba T210 is the hard drive impact sensor. but notice that the wireless is 802.11 b/g? no 802.11n, wonder whether it'll have impact on the connectivity.

by the way, browsed the net and some complaint abt m101z heat problem.

wondering how does T210 performance (compared to m101z's AMD) and also heat.

TQ.

hi dagnarus, may i know where u got this price rm2089? outside all quoting rm2299.
thanks!

If I'm not mistaken (I din't buy a new Toshiba laptop haha) just go to the website (http://www.celebratewithtoshiba.com), blow out the candles, fill in your particulars then you will be given a code coupon which you can use to get the 2nd & 3rd year local warranty for free. By filling in the particulars, you will also be participating in the grand lucky draw. I haven't got the chance to test whether the codes works or whether it applies to all Toshiba laptops all not, but it should work based on the descriptions nod.gif
Best try it out asap.... because if really cannot and you really want to extend warranty, you need to do that within 30 days from the date of purchase nod.gif
Best of luck!
