+1, a forumer got this netbook + 3 years warranty during PC Fair, try to aim for that since netbooks are most of the time not meant to last long... warranty will be helpful

Got 5 years warranty?XD

Yeah, I remembered HP used to offer 5 years warranty, not sure whether its still available now or not
But getting that on a netbook is not worth it as the technology will be obsoleted in no time

Buy a laptop range 2k-2.5k

Asus,Dell ok,other brand also

-i5 quad core (i7 too expensive)
-graphic also want good lah for gaming also
-4gb ram
-500gb HDD higher

i5 only have dual core instead of quad core~

DM1z is nice... the only viable competitor to Asus 1215B but i came with weird combination of 1 piece 2GB RAM and 1 piece 1GB RAM but 3GB should be enough.

Added on April 18, 2011, 11:32 pmYeah, the biggest competitor now is the 1215b... but the lack of an OS, and the currently undetermined arrival time is a huge setback

Yameh lol>?Then cheapest i7?

Cheapest SB i7 can be found in the Lenovo V470, i7-2630QM + Intel HD3000@RM2699

Thx for the input bro.
Seems tat most of the mentioned have very similar specs.
With that, comes down to brand fight i guess ? That being said, are all these brands equally reliable ? Or are some better and some not so ?
I used to have an acer for a few years already, so does many of my frens, many of us have problems with the laptops, heat issues mainly.

Yeah, it all boils down to personal preferences, I suggest you go and try and feel each laptop before purchasing~
Wheter they're reliable or not depends on how you take care of them Getting warranty extension will prove useful in the long run
Do take note that all the Asus models mentioned come with 2 years international warranty
As for the Acer 4830Tg, its very good, if you have doubts, do refer to this thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1806729

Orite, will check them out soon.. thx =)

Well noob graphic,better get i5

hey ya about alienware m11x how much the price now

True, if you're into gaming, better choose a laptop with a better GPU... CPU has very little effect on gaming performances
The Alienware M11x R3 will probably be announced tomorrow... we'll know the updated price in a day or two...

Yes I know ,cpu aint give good FPS.

Wow wow Wow,wait what?4k?lol

It seems that Dell has removed the other ULV i3/i5 variants from the website (probably to make way for the new M11x)... Hence its RM4k now
Here are the previous prices:
Alienware M11x, i3-330UM + Nvidia GT335M@RM3199 [2kg]
Alienware M11x, i5-520UM + Nvidia GT335M@RM3499 [2kg]

If you're looking for cheaper ones, do find Mr. Docter at the Alienware thread, he sells Alienware stuffs
The upcoming models would be the M11x R3, M14x R1 and M18x R1
