I'm using a Twinhead model 12K thats using an AMD Sempron 2600+ and its the ultra portable type as you can see from the pics. It weights around 2kg, has 512MB RAM and a 40GB HDD with a Combo drive. Cost me around RM3K when I bought it.




Been using for 2 years+ now so far no problem what so ever. The battery still last around 2 hours. All the keys on the keyboard still works. No hinges problem. LCD still working fine, no dead pixel.

Basically the only complain is the plastic quality. As you can see from the pictures below, the metallic sort of shine will discolor after some heavy use.



FYI I'm a flash and web system developer, so its always running flash + photoshop with IIS + SQL2K. And it has NEVER hang or crashed due to heating or any other problems.

My advice to you is this: If you have the money, get a better brand eg. Fujitsu, Dell, Acer or IBM etc. But if you are cash strapped as me, then a Twinhead might just suit the budget you are aiming for.

Good luck on your notebook purchase.

I bought it in a shop at the IT Center at Sunway Pyramid and so happened my ex-colleague was working there. I forgot the name of the shop, but if you want, I can get the name from the receipt at home.

Too bad my friend is no more working there, if not can probably get some discount for you.

lol

I just reliased that from your signature after posting my reply
