Hi all, I'm buying laptop for my mother. She'll be using it for writing letters, surfing the net and playing audio CD.

1. Brand - any brand would do
2. Budget - not more than RM2500
3. Specs - she wants the color to be customizable, preferably green. She prefers to use genuine Windows and Office.
4. Size - 14" to 15" screen

Hope you guys can help me out.

Thank you.

Yeah I've just checked it out. Few months back I bought a pink Inspiron for my sister, but I think now they removed the color option. Do other brand have this colour customization?

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 hmm.gif

I see, then I think intergrated Intel graphics should do just fine. Afterall, she's not going to play games on that laptop. tongue.gif

Another question from me, do different processors give different performance? 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...

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. notworthy.gif
