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?

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. QUOTE(JackLiu @ Jun 15 2010, 11:34 PM) i believe oni dell provide colour full or else is sony.. for the office is take around rm200 so ur laptop budget is around 2.3k.. 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?

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.

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

QUOTE(astria @ Jun 16 2010, 12:25 AM) 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.
