Give you two lappy to choose, which will u get and why?

lenovo y400 ( core 2 duo 1.66ghz

and

compaq presasrio V3203
turion 64 x2 1.6ghz

in dilemma now, going to get one this week..help
tq

i notice that very little ppl use lenovo laptops..
wat is the main reason behind it?? less popular or the service is not that good? or the quality problem?
hmm....

haha... maybe I should take out a stack of money and walk inside... anyway, if affordable, I still prefer to own one Y400 just because of the outlook... but the spec actually not bad also, right?

current Y400 945428A price at RM 3898 only and comes with 1 GB IPOD shuffle if you got notice in the newspaper last week and can say is value for money to buy this model !!! Had test through its running on windows vista home basic and i give thumbs up for its smooth run and its quick save settings and shut down if you ever compared to other model. For me i compared with T60 which with T7200 processor which run on vista business but seems Y400 runs great. This y400 geforce 7300 graphics is dedicated 64mb, not 128mb and is expandable through ram sharing to 334mb.

ok guys...i've place my booking on one Y400...the one with GoForce 7300...still no stock then...so probably getting it later today...

Hey, do you guys heard before OrderZones.com? In there Lenovo Y400 945428A still selling RM3598. So this site is it trustworthy? This is the product info and price in OrderZones.com -

Thanks.

I bought mine from orderzone during the PC fair.
for the spec, this is the best price. Other equivalent models will easily 4k-5k.
only thing bad is the preloaded vista home basic is useless for me.
i would recommend to request for XP version before the Vista is mature enough. no point to rush for the OS which is not fully supported by common hardware and software.

But one thing in mind is the drivers from the lenovo download site is sucks.
most of the drivers for XP couldn't work in the lastest 28A model.
u can still use back the vista drivers from the CD came with the laptop.
For the nvidia driver, i got it from 3Dguru which is a modded version, work well in my laptop and better performance!!

slip case 'travelpac' brand  rm 80, maybe in LYP can get cheaper. i got from digital mall PJ.  its slim and low profile, not much bigger than the laptop itself.  I dunlike the normal laptop bag.  Now I can use the slip case and place in my normal back pack no one would know.  picture later.

lelong.com someone selling a cheaper version at rm35

I too use mainly for net and word, but would like to learn the  laptop's full abilities.

Fosa marketing tells me that a lot of lenovo was sold during the PC fair... surprisingly not many post on this tread.

yangman, r u using vista or xp? i dumped the bundled vista home baisc and reload it with XP Pro!
i try to use my Y400 28A for CAD and CAE with no problem thanks to it's ok graphic card and 2GB RAM upgrade is worth too!!

Mergumi,
for 3D gaming, i would recommend to get better graphic card and higher ram.
sometime i open my laptop for more than 6hours but it dun show any overheat problem. the best is get a cooling pad for it for longer run.

Since u asking ppl here, mostly will recommend the lenovo. my initial plan also get the Compaq V3000 series but end up buying the Y400 28A for its better spec/price. And i heard from my fren using the V3000 is not so stable, i'm not so sure about that.

my case yes. me and my fren bought the 28A with upgrade to 2Gb RAM.
Really happy plan to bring back the laptop but at the end potong stim.....

Wow thank alot RX-78-2.  Ur PM is very detail. Ok i wil go lowyet 2ml 2 check this model. If it is free DOS that wil be worth for me 2 wait.   
Cant wait. Again thank RX-78-2.

Hey guys i want 2 ask is that the preloaded window Y400 is follow by a window vista basic DVD or just a recovery CD.

If window DVD that mean stil can format back to vista basic rite when we upgrade to premium or ultimate but if recovery CD then the story is end rite...
