Which notebook should I choose? Anyone can tell me the main differences between this two notebooks? If you were given a chance to choose either one of them, which one will you choose? Can you give us your opinion?

Does the Acer Signal Up technology useful? Can you notice the difference of 500g?

DELL laaaaa
good customer service
no headache when u got probs
call them n they will pick the lappie within 24 hours and repair it ASAP
within few days ur lappie will be ready

no hassle no wasting time no wasting money and no wasting energy

right now we have to think about save cost dude
no point if u want to get there 4 times just to repair your notebook
the product owner should do the job for us coz we buy their lappie
that's how DELL value their customer

and nobody can beat that, believe me!

starting from RM3699 with ATI 128 or add RM57 for ATI 256
around RM4k ONLY can get 1GB RAM

I am with you all the way. DELL service is excellent compared to others. For that reason, all my (more than 5) notebooks - Inspiron 4000, 4100, 2650(2x), 8000, 8100, 9100, 9400 - are DELL...

Thank you all for your replies. Do you feel 2.8kg is heavy? This may be the last question before I buy 6400.

2.8kg still manageable la.... but if u are a road warrior, carrying it daily... you might want to rethink the weight... an addition of 500gms makes a pretty big difference especially if you're someone whose only transport are your legs or Public Transport... which is what I'll be doing, but I just got the Dell anyway, over the Acer.. awaiting order confirmation and upgraded to 3 yrs complete cover service... for piece of mind (as I'll be overseas). Finally decided to have their people come to see me, rather than me go to them.... It's a bit big, screen being 15.4" & all... But I doubt I'll be lugging it much... so hopefully, it's a compromise la.... Your choice. 1st, decide on budget, then your requirements, finally your specs.... and don't waver. hahahaha. good luck

500g is noticeable as a laptop, dun forgot ur bag, rojak stuff which will definitely add in later.

no hassle LKM, go to hv a look at this at this pc fair, headache now will be useless major difference will be the screen size, weight, physical lookin, speakers.. performance/interior material, we dont know tht.

if comparing to the offer now, dell hands down acer completely, i oso gives merit to 6400 rather than 5562 as the big gap in price, if weight is not a problem, dell is the way to go for the current period; if u stil hv doubt, visit pc fair n everything will be clear

Yup, wtm0325 is right... you're gonna be carrying lots more junk as well... If you're a student, you're bound to carry books etc. and that's gonna be sore on your back!

Dell muddied the waters a bit with the option of a x1400 card. Else the Acer would have been tempting.. Hahaha... but go to the fair if you're in KL... then decide there & then... once you've done that, you can relax.... like I am now... no more sakit kepala comparing the notebooks... Haaaaa.....

So when is the fair? Does Dell show his notebooks? Most probably, I will just carry my notebook from my house to the garden. If I have to carry it far away, I will use the car though. So, will it affect?

pc fair helds on 14-16april

depends on u, shouldnt be a problem if short distance

i noticed ACER lighter than DELL right?
may because ACER use cheaper stuff
that magnesium alloy model how much it's weight aa?

lol... it's 14" vs 15.4" notebook ler, sure 14" lighter ler

Just an inch will weight 500 grammes more?

1.3 inches difference is quite significant for LCDs.
But other factors might contribute to the weight as well.

y not, 1" means more material, make the overall size of notebook comes bigger

the dell ati x1400 is with 256mb graphic ram or 128mb graphic ram + 128mb system ram???

Should be the latter configuration.

normally dell will having in pc fair or not?

Yes, Dell's there... Conference level KL Conv Centre. There used to be floor maps at pikom.org.my.... cant' find them anyone. Anyone know where the floor plans are?

Ah ha... found it. http://www.pikom.org.my/gotoPage.do?p=pcfair_public

not sure
could be 64MB dedicated

I think it's 256MB integrated vRam and 256MB able to be dedicated to it.
