one thing about IBM notebooks,they are very lasting...

only applicable to T n X series n the Z series with titanium

hi, Netto Hikari, thanks for advice , i will look into it , it seem a good choice to me

personally, would u go for ibm or toshiba for my case ?

if for me, i will take this acer model coz of tight budget n this specs r quite tempting.

after shopping at lowyat today (19/02/2006), i found another choice, which is toshiba satellite M70-P540 with price rm4599

however the model not yet in the market , but accept to order , which is similar design look like M40-p540 with price 4299 from c-zone

in fact, i quite like the toshiba design(sceen is better as using csv) as compare Ibm z60m(look ugly) , but after the playing(operate) around btw these 2 notebook , ibm seem to be the best ....

the reason i'm not going to acer is simply bcoz i have heard from many friends saying acer hv bad quality , so decide not take the risk

my god, so hard to chooose ....

y u all always think that acer is not good?do u really face with acer notebook b4?do u ever use others brand notebook b4?if u really want me to point out the worst quality and after sales service,then definately not acer

u have to study b4 u buy it,dont just simply believe wat sales person & your friend told u.

m70-p540 is already available in malaysia quite long already.but than,would u mind telling us wat kind of specs u r looking for? wat main purpose u dealing with?
since that u choose those with intergrated graphic card than i assume u r not a heavy graphic usage.

if i choose between toshiba m70-p540 n ibm z60m, i would definitely go for toshiba coz the chasis look nicer n specs wise is better than ibm.

only go for ibm for thier embeded high security but nowadays even fujitsu offer such security.

hi, williamngwl , i have no attend to offence acer , but how come people always mention on acer bad reputation when ppl discussing the quality

hi, Netto Hikari, i would like to get better graphic card of coz , i actually tend to use this notebook mostly for programming and i prefer 15.4 screen and centrino based

but if compare dell n acer....definitely acer will win. n also electronic parts quite to say also lah...

wat type of programming u r mainly on? autocad? issit those heavy graphical stuff? coz if yes, than only acer suits in yor finding......or else u have to increase yor budget to RM5.5k to get toshiba m50-p346 PM1.73ghz/100gb/512mb/ati 256mb vram

m50 only using ddr instead of ddr2.....better go for m70 full specs...
