Let us know your:
1) budget

Then I can give you a good idea.

if u want cool...
get Apple powerbook
make heads turn if u online @ one of the cafe in KLCC hehe or mid valley

DELL!!!!

i used so many times this brand, no prob!!

whats mypc brand?? never heard of tat

1) Fujitsu
Get the C2210/C2220 or S6120 model

2) Compaq
Get Presario 2131AD or Evo n1020v model

3) IBM
Get R40 RA5 or R40 CEA model

4) Acer
Normally sucks but TravelMate 802 looks good.

5) Toshiba
Heavy but Pro SP-1 is good.

oh yea, whats the budget for the laptop?? some particular models are good

my first choice is IBM

Compaq.. speaker chun... dell sux.. i mean speaker..

Now the list goes to whether what specs u want?

sory to the owner of the tread..
i'm also in the midst of searching a value buy notebook..

looking for specs at least

PIII 1Ghz
256MB DDR
30GB HDD
IrDA
PCMCIA
3 USB
Firewire..

for 3000 - 4000

any particular brand..? is it go the ones made in taiwan.. like... prestigio.. target.. aris.. and others..?//
i mean other than superior brand name.. like dell, compaq

Try NEC/TwinHead ... available at LYP

i got a "prestigio" brand. Other than being cheaper then branded ones...its heavy and also the battery can't even last one full hour.

Whats worst when my bat died, then only i found out the battery only came with 3 months warranty and to replace it will cost around RM250 .

So unless u want to pump your muscle and dun mind looking for power point everywhere u go...get a branded one.

NEVER buy a ciplak brand for laptop.

get a good one like NEC, Asus, Dell etc.
Premium ones: IBM, Fujitsu, Toshiba.
twinhead is no no
Dell: make sure you get 1 year warranty, sometimes they state 90 days warranty and you have to pay extra for 1 or 3 year.
NEC, new M320 series is very nice
Asus: my fren's one got problem... but 3 year warranty...so he sent for warranty (now 2nd year).
however, have to pay RM 80 just to check the laptop to see if got problem... and to fix. never fix also still have to pay! note: its UNDER warranty and you have to pay!

i think @ris is quite good...
Pentium M 1.3... 30Gb HDD.. but with integrated graphics card.... most of all, 1.9kg!!

don't think
must be sure... laptop is not cheap... the components can't be replaced easily if spoilt (except RAM).
even the HDDs are expensive.
branded ones are always better... you get your warranty and peace of mind.

err.. the aris one... how much is it..??
looking for something lighter..

Dell Inspiron 500M looks like a good bargain too

@aris is local brand yet fast & reliable

fine with DELL...good s.a.s
my dream Toshiba...can outperform desktop
IBM....

investment 4 ur future usage

if weight concerns you, then get those slim line ones.
