Anybody here using AMD-based laptops ? The Athlon XP-M ones. I saw that Twinhead have got some interesting deals with AMD-based laptops. As low as RM2999.00 for their Athlon XP-M 1600+.

How's those AMD-based laptops in terms of battery life & feature set ?

As I iterated so many time in this forum, never ever buy AMD laptop.

does acer 4052lci good?.i found that it is cheap(now have rm300 rebate for student).i planing to buy it.any comment?thx

hi ... do dell 8600 got infra red and blue tooth thing ??
i'm going to get one ...
any negative feed back on 8600 ? thanks

any one....plz help me...give the best model laptop witth spec centrino and r9700....my budget rm5k....

n another question....pentium M and centrino.....which one perform better....???izzit pentium M is new..i never heard it before...

Acer is always a good buy because the spec is a killer for such a price. Anyway, Dell is catching up.

You can always go to www.dell.com.my for the specification. I think you can add bluetooth. Probably no infra red. Anyway, just go to the web site. You can add and configure stuff there.

Centrino = Pentium M + Wireless + Low Power

Best bang for the buck is always Acer.

anyone have comments on TARGA brand?
Traveller E400?
its cheap

hello can anyone help me. i've been watching toshiba's laptops...n certainly i see toshiba is one of the top in the market...the only thing thats not good bout toshiba laptops is, there is no dvd-rw...can i change the dvd combo into dvd-rw without affecting the international warranty??

all tai kor of laptop... if i got RM4600 wat brand i sure get? in term of service.. i dun wan dell..

selling @ RM4399 some shop sell RM4599 i oso dunno which is true..

walaoeh, the new Vaio damn nice man, Asus better catch up (although they have better specs sometime), Vaio is soo expensive!!!!! damnit.

here's the deal.. im looking for a laptop with these features..

at least a p4 2.4 / 1.6 centrino
ati graphics 9700/9600
512 Ram

those are the main things.. my budget is 5K.. i found a few that met that requirements.. the problem is, the brand.. which of this do u guys think is ok?

- Benq joybook 7000 - with 1.6 centrino, 512 ram, dvd writer, ati 9700 for rm 6000

- Acer (not sure what series) - with 1.6 centrino, 256 ram, combo drive, ati 9700 - for rm 4988

this are the only two laptops with ati9700, which is my primary concern, since im using it for gaming purposes mostly

should i go for benq or acer? i know that these two used to be in the same company. Or should i go for fujitsu or toshiba which is undoubtly has the best quality laptops but at an overcharging price?

please help me.. i want to play WoW as soon as possible.. rugi xp wooo..

i think ths acer Travelmate 4000 series got the ATi 9700 with 64mb

i am looking for a laptop right now and i've set my budget somewhere around 5-6k..i am looking for toshiba or fujitsu..however the specs somehow do not meet my requirements..i am a gamer and i am looking for ATI..for fujitsu(most of the models are ATI IGP) which is a shared graphics..is it powerful enough??urm the one with ATI for fujitsu is with AMD processor..for toshiba(all the models are with Nvidia GeForce 5200)..i heard that it is not that good anyway(graphics card)......can anyone give me advice..or should i switch to dell instead..since they have ATI 9600...and its quite cheap...i've seen the acer..i forgot the model...the price is around RM4988...is that good??can anyone recommend me a toshiba or fujitsu model that could actually meet my requirements...thanks dude

u meant this?

http://www.acer.com.my/product/prod_spec.a...ate+4500+Series

sure u can get a toshiba with p4 and with ati 9700.. but the price is around >10k.. i've called them about the price.. i was shocked to hear the price he told me

even the fujitsu is around 8k i think, the one with ati9700.. anyways, dont go for dell.. ive experienced dell b4, the bat was dead, and i think something was wrong with the HD.. yes i could buy a new one, but it had to be a DELL product, and its damn expensive.. i ask for any other option.. he said i could recycle it for another dell laptop.. so i thought they were going to take my laptop in for some cash or rebate, but it turns out to be, they were taking my laptop for free....

so all in all.. this is what i found out.. coz im looking for a laptop for gaming too..
1. don't get DELL laptops, sure its cheap, but its after service...
2. get toshiba or fujitsu if you are really on a big budget, coz they are overcharging thier customers.. hey they are the best laptops retailers..
3. get acer or benq, im not sure about these two, in terms of realibility and quality.. but the specs are good.

still doing some research on acer and benq, looking for customer complaints or anything like that.. hope i had more budget so that i can get toshiba!!

^..yup..agree wif u...but acer travel mate 4000 is the best value coz the spec intel cemtrino 1.6 n ati9700 is the best spec for budget...n gamers...

now i 'm thinking of either getting this
Acer Travelmate 4025 RM4488
or
the Hp COmpaq v2000 RM4399

4052LCi is now rm3988
btw, Student rebate is on..

and heard Compaq Presario V2000 is rm4499 wif free 256MB ram upgrade

neway 4503 is not available at the mo from Acer.
mebbe u can find shops wif old stock

3202XCi is out RRP rm4988
and there's a budget gaming laptop killer... 4002WLCi_m11p rRRP rm4488 , also included in the student rebate program.

and... the appearance of Sonoma/Alviso lappys

Please dun mislead people. Battery dead. Surely need to buy Dell. Dun tell me Toshiba dun have use Toshiba battery
HD, is same for all Laptop (almost). So you can buy hardisk anywhere. Not only Dell.

tats true gogo2.... but the thing is... i got a few frens that has the same problem.... but tat was 2 years ago.... i dunno bout now.... since u have a 700m.... i guess u can tell us about dell.... at least give ppl more confidence to buy a dell product..... my two cents though
