Is this worth it? or can i get a better laptop with a price range around 2.5-3.5k?

Nike, no. This offer is good. It was 3.5k previously. Didn't know this laptop went down in price after 2 months ^^

Its nice,if u dont mind it gets heated up very fast.

the spec very nice, but the weight is 3Kg. too heavy to me

3kg is actually ok.
Usually 15inch Laptops are all 3kg or so.

bottom line- should i get it?

if u dont mind the lower battery prob... i.e 1-2 hrs...then should be okay

For me...first impression, I like the price, a very attractive price. I don't quite like the flimsy hinges and the housing doesn't feel that solid especially near the area where the speakers are.

i see.
But i heard from a friend who is doing IT.
He said that compaq's laptop casing aint good,as theres electricity leakage,not sure how far its true.
But HP seems better.

hello?something wrong with your pc or yourself?
why u repeat the msg for the 3rd time?

Aiya..dilemma now.. 1 say its a good buy the other say battery lowya ..

yup it's a good buy, but it heat up very fast, u can feel it when u touch the touchpad..

the battery life should be 2++ hours provided u switch ur screen brightness to the lowest, and doesnt put ur speaker to the loudest..

if u doesnt always carry the lappy around, this is a good buy though.. better stay for the coming pc fair, it's held at mid of april

yeap,its actually a pretty good buy as its only 2999.It dropped so much,and comes with 512mb pendrive,this is very worth it.

i think it a worth buy..
at 2999,you'll get
DVD+/-RW
80 g hd
512 ram

where did you get this oofer???
name me the shop

AMD Turion I Dare to Say is a Centrino Killer !

AMD turion is good,but COMPAQ.*blek*

u get wat u paid

yea,true..
but is it true that compaq casing cause electricity leakage.

is there any article to comment this problem? curious how the user define the electricity leakage

i dont think there will be article commenting about this issue as it might get sue by compaq.
Most probably is the casing that they use as its cheap.
so basiclly its what u pay and what u get,like compaq are in the range of 2449 - 3000+ ,that is what u will get.
just becareful when u use,dont think it will occur,maybe just a few faulty ones.

this offer at midvalley

midvalley?name of shop?

THE HP shop..beside the music school...

ooh,i see.
