QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Jun 15 2010, 11:30 PM) The inspiron still offer colour option, you need to choose higher price model or non-fastrack model though... Other brand mostly don't offer customization.

I see, then I will ask her later. Thanks for the highlight guys. Another question, I'm experiencing a heat problem with my laptop Compaq V3751au (this is an old model). So any specific model or brand that have the heat issue so that I wont buy it? |

Just avoid the one using Nvidia 8400M/8600M or compaq v3000 series should do fine... Don't recall any heating problem with the latest notebook  This post has been edited by lee_what2004: Jun 15 2010, 11:43 PM |

Don't recall any heating problem with the latest notebook I see, then I think intergrated Intel graphics should do just fine. Afterall, she's not going to play games on that laptop.  |

Toshiba Satellite L510-B402 would be better for gaming...
Though for similar price, can consider Dell Inspiron 13R, i3 350M + ATi HD5470, HomeBasic@RM2299, but no dvd drive... or Inspiron 14R, same spec but 14''@RM2399...

Another question from me, do different processors give different performance? Like do the cache size matter?

Like do the cache size matter? first part of the qn, yes... 2nd part of the qn, depends on wat CPU u re talking abt... for Core 2/Core i, 3MB/4MB is the sweet spot... for Turion II/Athlon II, doesn't really matter... |

Asus UL30VT and Lenovo Ideapad U350
bro, between these two models which one is better? for net surfing, movies and some office works. in terms of specs, what i know is that asus has 500GB HDD (lenovo 320GB) and better graphic card. Other than that, any difference between these two in terms of reliability, warranty & performance?
Thanks

Thanks u may probably want to take a look at the likes of Dell Inspiron M301z and 13R instead... both are running on the latest hardware... |

Performance wise and warranty would go to Asus UL30Vt since it got built-in overclock CPU to 1.73GHz and also default comes with 2 years warranty....

I see, thanks for the info. I'm quite puzzled now as my mother keep on insisting the colour option. Maybe I should call Dell tomorrow. Anyway you guys have been giving a lot of help.  |

boris, you can consider to look at Dell Vostro 3400/3500 as well, quite different colour option than the inspiron...

QUOTE(astria @ Jun 15 2010, 08:43 AM) well, 13R is cheaper, but 3300 has even better support (it's a business laptop afterall)... it seems that V3300 is more nicer in its look. |
