The bottom line is you won't be able to customize unless online purchase. That is what i know. The reseller may add RAM for you, but it won't be under the Dell On site Warranty.

Those advice are good. If can,try to understand the reassemble process before tearing it up.

Toshiba warranty good or not? Is the warranty provided is the international warranty?

Why recently some of the laptop manufacturer tend to provide certain models with different kind of the warranty service?

They really makes things complicated.

You won't know what will happen in the future. If you get JPA scholarship, then you will have chance to go to the other country.

It is also arrived in Malaysia already. It is just waiting for official launch.

Why cannot wait? I thought the official launch is 5 january 2011?

I am not sure about the pricing, but i can tell you is that if dell charge higher, i still prefer it over hp because of its better after sales service and quality when compared with the hp.

For me, the durability of the laptop depends much on how the laptop owner take care of laptop.

I think Asus should be able to come up top.

However, luck is another factor that is important factor when you make decision.

For example, your dealer so happen to take a bad apple when purchasing for you or the model you use have inherent issues with it.

To reduce such problem, check your laptop thoroughly before paying the cash if you purchase from the shop and hope for the best in case you buy from any seller that requires you to pay up front.

At the same time, please do not expect total perfection for the laptop you are receiving for all aspects. There might be some shortcomings, but always distinguish which 1 is eligible for warranty claims.

Happy shopping.

For me, HP is good in terms of design and after sales service (but Dell is the best).

In term of reliability,I am not impressed.

You can consider getting a bag pack. I am using 1. I keep a lot in my bag pack except for cash.

Still expensive if get from from dell website.

For every purchase at all times?

Is it a briefcase like bag? I thought that comes with every purchases.

I see.

If you have stick the lappy and have air bubbles with it, good luck in getting rid of it.

Cooler Master is quite good for me, but how big is your bag?

Ultimately, cooling your laptop does not only rely on your cooler only.

I attach a cooling fan beside my laptop.....

Very efficient way of cooling for my Acer laptop.

What about the battery? Still "standing"?

My compaq laptop battery is even worse. It failed after being used for 2 years. Luckily, I managed to recell it.

30 minutes of battery life after using it for 6 years.

Not a bad owner after all.

Everytime when you plug out the battery is it very warm?

Do you mean the new battery also only can survive for 1 hour and 15 minutes?
