I plan to buy a new notebook. Its use for assignment and presentation only.
BUt I need to install some software like autocat,mcromedia and other designing software.
Which brand notebook is suitable for me and budget is less than RM4500.
256 RAM enough? Pls give me some suggestion...
now, i plan to buy Dell, but if my laptop got problem after warranty timer, so what can i do?

another 1 question, if i install other software which is not original , it will affect my warranty?

dell is alrite,u can alwayz extend ya warranty..
take a look at IBM,twinhead,hp/compaq..
i think currently the dell inspiron is quite a good deal,not sure whether it suits u..
512 of ram is better..

acer should hav the best value u can always extend the warranty 512 ram is minimum nowadays

no installing other pirated software will not effect ur warranty

Dell Services is good. No worries if anything happens or if you install pirated stuffs. If u plan to extend the warranty, best if its done upon purchase cos its cheaper. If u extend after warranty, it will cost more and they will want to run a check on your unit before allowing the extension.

1GB of RAM is just nice.

for her basic use,512 is sufficient..
go for either dell,twinhead or IBM..
Twinhead - Long warranty n lasting
Dell - Good service..
IBM - lasting..

How about Toshiba....anybody have experience cause I plan to buy one....

How about Acer?
I get some price lsit from Acer, model is Aspire 5502 , Rm3499 (before discount)...
but only 256 RAm, so i plan to add in extra RAM. BUt the acer salesman talk to me, if i wan to add in extra RAM, if the laptop got problem , mayb it u affect warranty service. I not sure he is cheating me anot.
any one can tell the dell service after warranty period?

toshiba,it depends..
some model r good,but arent..

who say so?

I'm using Satellite A80. this is my second Toshiba. Screen to me is nice. Performance average (Celeron) but overall for that price it is an OK package.

my budget is around RM4500, im not using for home entertainment, i need it for doing some project like autocat, programming(java).

U all only prefer some this good, this nice, but no one can tell me which one is suitable.

ok..
for work,2 tell ya the truth,fujitsu is good,but expensive..
u can try compaq/hp as their notebooks r mostly for works..
twinhead also..

if you are going to use it for programming and other simulation softwares, then i would suggest u get a notebook with a decent processor + RAM (at least 1GB).
When u mean designing software, do u mean graphic designing? If so do u need a dedicated graphics card for that?
You have to decide what specifications u want for your notebook, and also whether if you have any brand or notebook size preferences?
As for warranty, Dell has pretty good after sales service. Extend the warranty to 3 years if it is necessary.

Actually i think u should have tried posting in the thread "Buying new laptop? Need RECOMMENDATION???"

like what omelette said,what r the specs that u want and what brand u prefer?
