SSD is not a bit more expensive, and definitely not a bit faster.
its very very expensive and godlike speed.

well.......MBP is definitely for ppl with extra cash on hand.

Any suggestions for a < 3000 laptop with a respectable discrete GPU and either comes with no OS/freedos/Linux?

Nope, you won't find with freeDOS...

yeah I pretty much assumed that grrr microsoft tax

2nd SSD from bat... i think he still selling? go for 10k rpm HDD or Momentus XT

Support original la

10k rpm can't fit .....

now laptops come with windows bundle because ubuntu users are rare...well, windows arnt that bad right?

oh? 10k rpm at 3.5"? cause i see some laptops offer that.

There is 10k 2.5'', but eat too much power and also thicker than normal hdd, which laptop offer that?

erm, i think it was customizable on gentech or xotic for erm, Sager something.... 17" monster.

Where did I say I plan on putting non "original" OS on it? Linux is "original", also bebas, and percuma.


Windows is horrible

^just a note, better get notebook that doesn't come with nVidia Optimus, heard it won't work in Linux..

Noted, thanks

hi, please help me guys. i've been looking for a Laptop to do mobile surfing and some MINOR photo editing, Adobe LightRoom to be exact. my c2D rig is doing it fine, speed is not a problem as long as it is possible to post process.

Brand : Acer, Hp, Dell, any type of brand
Budget : RM1.5k - 1.7k Or LOWER, just wanted it for a few weeks
Specs :
Core i3
2GB DDR3 at least
250GB HDD is enough since i got external storage
got a intergrated GPU is possible, Intel HD can run lightroom also right?
Operating System : i heard that we can get Windows Xp from Microsoft just for RM50 only right? is that true? but this is just a back up plan, Windows 7 Home Basic at least or better Home Premium 64bit
Size : nothing smaller than 14"

or advise me, and recommend me where to get cheaper one.

thanks, Acer 4738, i3 370M + GMA HD, freeDOS@RM1699

got any catalogue or shop to recommend?

Jack sparrow version

no no no, what i heard is bring it back to Microsoft and have a request, JUST HEARD FROM SOME OF MY CUSTOMER and just wanna confirm here..

so cannot, then i see lo then, how much for win 7 home premium retail? OEM how much also?

If you get the retail version of Win7HP, the total cost is already over 2k, better get the 4738G @ RM2099, better GPU.

hmm, then might be using jack sparrow verison for a period of time, cause just will use for 3 days then dispose less using
