Hi  Crazymelon,

I am planning to get an Toshiba A200-E530, so may i know what spec you got it?such as RAM,warranty period and where do you bought it?

I just survey for a good deal.

Thank you and hope can hear from you soon.

Hi there. Got my lappie frm Digital Mall - Evernew

Spec as below:-
Intel C2d 1.73GHz ... 512MB DDR2 RAM ... Free upgrade to 1gb ... 120gb hdd ... dvd super drive ... wifi ... bluetooth ...15.4 wide screen....harmon/kardon speaker......5 in 1 card reader ......(4 x usb port)... finger print reader ... 1.3mp webcam ... nvidia 7300 graphics ... vista home premium ... pre-load with Microsoft office 2007 60 day trial-version.....weight around 2.9kg

normal retail price is rm 3799 with free additional 1 year local warranty(register by the shop) + 1 year international warranty (can register online) and brother laser printer (worth RM200++)


but I upgrade to 2gb ram, for me is a worth buy since I only use it for download, movies and works, but if you're a hardcore gamers the Nvidia Geforce 7300 128mb will not be sufficient enuf.

Been using it for 1 week now, so far no problem juz the glossy lid cover is a super fingerprint magnet.

Hope this will be helpful to you.

I just upgrade my M200 memory from 1.5gb to 2gb. Cost me only RM79 for 1gb ram smile.gif Last 3-4 weeks ago when I bought that time cost me RM122! mad.gif Now I got two 512mb taken out from my laptop, who want to buy? rolleyes.gif biggrin.gif 

Off topic: It just happened that my desktop computer continuous beep when turn on the power, found out that one of the corsair ram is faulty sad.gif I tried to clean the slot and ram contact using contact cleaner but still can't solve the problem. Since the ram price is so cheap, will get 1gb ram tomorrow. How much is the price in KL for notebook ram? Is it cheaper than in Penang?

You can check out the Garage sales section in this forum 1st, to have a survey for the price b4 you purchase any ram in K.L. Recommend Kingston brand caused less problem.

Ok, thanx man, really never done it before (flashing BIOS), maybe will seek help from expert to guide me step by step, if i run the Winflash application myself, basically it will done everything automatically once i choose to replace the newer version of BIOS rite?

Seems like pretty risky if I am going to flash my BIOS myself, how to find out the BIOS I have download is not corrupted or I just have to depends on my luck?

If the flashing process fail, I will have to bring it back to the service centre rite? My lappie is about 1 month old, will they charge me if I bring the lappie to service centre?

I think it's even better than the Satellite HD version especially the speaker. Totally blew me away.
