i'm quite new here

any Tecra user here?
btw, i'm using Tecra S2

has anyone gone through the Warranty service process? how was it?
have u guys personally brought along your laptop to the service centre in Shah Alam?

hey guys,
this is the latest price of all Centrino Duo...hopefully available in all stores right now.

SATELLITE
A100-P545 = RM6,999
A100-P540 = RM4,999

M100-P345 = RM5,999
M100-P340 = RM4,999

TECRA
A6-P3401 = RM6,999
M5-P2301 = RM7,999

for more info - http://pc.toshiba-asia.com/

personally, i prefer Tecra A6 than others but it's just kinda pricey.
as for the high range M100 & A100 come with the harmon kardon speakers with SRS TruSurround Sound.
i wonder how great is the enhancement that been built-in to the speakers.

P/S: is there anyone going to get any that listed above?

try to write down the error msg that u see. Eg: stop 0X15E , memory dump files etc.
u can do a search in Google with the exact error code or search in http://support.microsoft.com

it may be unsigned hardware issues such as USB devices etc

i found another close-range model from SONY which offer relatively different specs.
pretty much my cup of tea

Sony Vaio VGN-FE15GP Core Duo [RM 5,988.00]
Mobile Centrino Core Duo 1.66hz, 2Mb cache, 533Mhz, 512Mb DDR2-RAM, 80Gb Hard Drive, 15.4" Wide display, NVIDIAŽ GeForceŽ Go 7400 with NVIDIAŽ TurboCacheT*3 video memory, DVD-Super Multi Drive, 56K Modem, 10/100 Ethernet, WiFi 802.11b, IEEE1394, Bluetooth, 2xUSB,Memory stick slot,1xPC Card Type I/II,RJ-11,RJ-45, 2.8Kg (approx.), 1 year warranty, Microsoft Windows XP Professional

sorry,i've no idea about the reputation of this series
but ur friend is definely spoilt for choice (for older models of coz)

Good pratices for laptop newbies

a) buy an extra usb keyboard & cooler pad

b) when u're using the AC adpater , always remove the 100% charged battery from the back (this may increase the life span of the battery)

c) leave a thin cloth on the wrist rest area if u're using the keyboard
(metallic/plastic wrist rest area may get obvious stains/scratches)

anymore suggestions?

A5 with 750 is the older Pentium M

TECRA Core Duo
A6-P3401 = RM6,999
M5-P2301 = RM7,999

not much difference

unless u go to those roadshow/pc fair
where u should get some freebies

yes
as long as u didnt remove the battery below

well, not much difference
as in roadshow u might get more freebies if u request from the salesperson personally.

i think as for Toshiba lappies u can get futher about RM150 reduction for the T3 Security Suite which is included in the price tag. however, some ppl will find the suite useful as it includes an insurance for ur lappie

i'm happy with this feature

they're desperately reducing the price coz
CentrinoŽ Core 2 Duo (Merom 64-bit) is coming soon
