hi all

i don't know whether this is the right place to ask. if not, i'm sorry.

i've been using aspire 4710 since 2007 until now and it's working just fine. but i plan to buy a netbook as it will be easier to carry around (i'm going to start my part-time study in june and 4710 at 2.69 kg is heavy). however, some people suggested that i buy a new, lighter laptop instead.

so my question is:

1) which is better - buy a netbook for and continue using my current laptop or buy a new laptop?

i'm considering asus eec pc 1015B or acer one happy for netbook but have no idea for new laptop so i welcome any suggestion. my budget for a laptop will be around RM2000 - 2500.

thanks a lot

Netbooks may be light, but they're really slow in comparison to your previous Acer... haha laugh.gif
Best option is to go for something in between in terms of performance/specs....
Anyway, you're studying locally or abroad?
budget? Usage? Preferred screen size?

If you're aiming for a netbook, might as well get a Toshiba NB550D laugh.gif
If you want a larger one, then get something like the dm1z with E-350 processors
For laptops... if no gaming then might as well get one with SB and only internal graphics  icon_idea.gif

Ealier in page like 15 IINM, bro PFTJ mentioned a few models (ThinkPad Edge 11) that uses AMD Fusion APUs
Please do note that the HP dm1z has a noisy fan issue hmm.gif

Also, any other choices like Lenovo's G470? sweat.gif

We don't have Toshiba's NB550D here sad.gif
If not it'll be real hot wub.gif

We don't have AMD powered ThinkPad Edge 11 here hmm.gif

Yea, either 6-cell or 9-cell...
The 9-cell battery will have a protruding stand which will lift the base of the laptop up for better ventilation nod.gif

Your definition of netbook? 10"- 12.1"?
Personally I would recommend a 11.6-12.1" netbook for more comfortable typing as well as better viewing nod.gif

Usually we have netbooks (8.9-10.1") and subnotebooks (11.6"-13.3")... no mini netbooks haha laugh.gif
But some define netbooks as 8.9-12.1"... so it gets kind of confusing haha

hi all

thanks a lot for those who has given suggestions. for now, i think i'm going to get myself a netbook, and continue using my faithful aspire 4710 until it crash (though K43U and X42JY look tempting also.. huhu) but i think i'll be able to adjust to 10.1" screen. between asus eee PC and acer (happy & OD255), i think i like asus better. so i might settle for eee PC 1015B

i went to a few shops today. unfortunately, it was not a pleasant trip. at one of the shop, the salesman tried to cheat me. he wanted to sell eee PC 1015B at RM1299. i played along and asked him to give me discount. he said, 'ok la kak, diskaun 100, saya bagi free gift lagi.'  mad.gif  then i told him that asus, in their product guide clearly printed that the price is RM999. his reply? 'tu harga dealer kak' vmad.gif thank god i didn't fall into his trap or else i might be wasting my hard-earned money for nothing

err.. who sells asus here? can i get cheaper than that?  nod.gif  icon_idea.gif
*
Yeah, its good to hear that you've done your homework and din't get conned (like most other users sad.gif )...
As suggested by Koki, try looking for Koki hikari85 and marcus20125 in Garage Sales, you should be able to get cheaper than RM999 nod.gif

Anyone actually knows the true secret behind PC Fairs? hmm.gif
So far I went to the one in KLCC once and those in Ipoh a few times
The fact that Ipoh ones are actually conning people (they sell legacy products with a more expensive price tag than the one and only "digital" mall" and gives you a lot of crap gifts.
In KLCC, it's just so damn big that you can get a low price here, but when you do explore around a little more you get an even cheaper price!
BTW @Lila, mind telling which shop did you went and that event happened? hmm.gif
*
Based on what I've seen in this year's PC fair, Asus purposely increase all its products by RM100 (some say its because of the disaster at Japan, but I doubt that) so that they can "give more discounts" haha~
There's virtually no advantage of purchasing your laptop at PC Fairs... especially when theirs Garage Sales here haha~
But perhaps buying smaller accessories would be a good during PC Fairs since you can try them out....
The thing about PC Fairs is that all laptops from various brands are brought together into one place for everyone to try them out.... but since there's just too many people to actually be able to test the laptop you wanted, there's no real point liao sad.gif
I rather go to LYP/Digital mall or Garage Sales~

Unless you're talking about PC fair girls la, that's a different story laugh.gif laugh.gif

Samsung 9 series nod.gif
If don't want SSD/SSD option not available in Malaysia, then Toshiba Portege R830 and the upcoming Lenovo X1 laugh.gif
Portégé R830, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM3999[1.4kg], 2nd & 3rd year international warranty, Microsoft Office Home & Student 2010; colors: Black/Red/Blue

but the graphic cards are the dedicated Intel HD3000 only though laugh.gif

If you need more processing power, then the Portege and X1 would be better since they're running standard SB processors (not ULVs like those in MBA and Samsung 9)..
But if you're into graphics stuffs, then the MBA will probably be the better choice, the higher resolution might come in handy as well nod.gif

well, my main concern is based on these:
1) weight (priority)
2) SSD
3) Battery Life
4) proc
5) gc (will use for work, maybe some for hd multimedia)

based on ur recommendation, it seems that MBA is cheaper than 9 series. r830, though same price with MBA, doesnt hav ssd...
so MBA is a actually a good choice?
*
The current MBAs are powered by relatively weaker processors compared to the 9 series, but the Nvidia G320M they possess are better than the Intel HD3000 in the Samsung 9 series... So since you emphasize more on processing power, the Samsung 9 series would be better (at this particular moment)
Koki is right, and its not a speculation, SB ULV-powered MacBooks will be coming out soon nod.gif

the promoter told me that asus also no good. he recommend me the dell 15.6 inch with same spec as asus. haihhh. now im pening ad. which one to choose.

dell oso look good but i heard that recent dell product have hardware problems. only the service is good. please please help. need to decide.  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

I think the shop ppl recommended you the Dell Inspiron 15R. Yes it has a quad core processor, but the GPU is not that good... And its extremely glossy lol sweat.gif
Personally I think both the Asus N43SL and N53Sv are better than the 15R, better build, better GPU and better speakers laugh.gif

n53sv have problem with the keyboard? room between numpad and qwerty?

plus, the promoter also said that forum people cannot be trusted. create multiple account, biased, prejudice, etc.  sweat.gif wth
*
Yeah, the N53Sv/Sn suffers from flexes due to the longer length... the flexes are less apparent on the N43... personally I've tried the keyboard and I have to say I like it, yes it might take some time to get used to but its good nod.gif
The Inspiron 15r, on the other hand, suffers from spongy keyboard buttons lol... so its your pick at the end of the day nod.gif

LOL, look who's talking... those promoters would say anything as long as you buy from him so that he can have some money to spend laugh.gif
I would say most of the forumers here know more than them promoters laugh.gif

Nope, its not going to be a problem. Keyboards from Acer and Toshiba are also like that nod.gif
But just to be safe, you should try it out for yourself, only then decide
