erm...the price is way off? her budget only about 3k..and no need for international warranty too. coz she wld be here still for a while more

wah... hp is slow leh..... compaq=hp. both overheats.

acer is last choice.. and sony=toshiba no value for $$$

looks like still back to IBM

ibm R52 range of models.

hey thanks mate. erm..so only ibm is it? i think the ibm range not so "pretty" if u know what i mean. after all, this is a lappy for a girl

so based on your earlier post, acer is the last choice. why yeah? and i have to agree that compaq tends to heat up quite a bit

but why do you say that toshiba no value for money? a lot of people vouch for toshiba afaik

ya everyone agrees that ibm looks ugly. it depends on how a person thinks. if you want to go for looks, i think samsung and toshiba are quite nice. but as for me, looks dosen't matter. as long as the thingy does its job and runs stable, its fine for me. value for $$$ matters lots too

acer is the last choice based on various people from multiple sources. so far, ppl who are doing serious work with their laptop has never recommended acer before. i only see students using acer because of the rebate, usually they have no knowledge of what they are buying. so, their opinion dosen't weigh much

as for toshiba, if you see the price lists u will understand. furthermore, it is a closed machine, unlike ibm. in an ibm, when the warranty is over, u can take the machine apart and modify/upgrade what you like. if so happens the hdd konk (as 1 of the forumers say), just change it yourself, DIY. but if the same thing happens to your toshiba, u gotta send it in. the only thing u can change is the ram. and toshiba is not as tough as ibm, e.g. left in car... u know....

all these are IMHO. opinions vary from person to person.

tis is very useful for those newbies. well done.

thx man.

oh..thats pretty cool. i didnt really know all that crap me n00b!

how about compaq though? i bought mine coz when i compared prices, compaq was cheaper than ibm..

and i heard acer after sales service is kinda bad..but the price is comparable to that of compaq though.

but i think if i wanna upgrade i might be looking into ibm now. the hardiness is qute a factor should have done more research before i bought my compaq

a stolen line from ppl:

GOOD THINGS NO CHEAP, CHEAP THINGS NO GOOD

Value for $$$$ ?? ask the users of the product.

read a few posts backwards from here and you will understand more

So final conclusion is IBM is the only BEST choice. so m i.

I would go for Dell notebook. Their dell inspiron 6000 seems cool.
Very good quality, price is ok and ......
No other notebook has it .... YOU can upgrade the screen to sxga or usxga!

Try that with other brands...


regards,

hmm....... did u buy one urself to try it? pls list out ur spec here.

guys u know what? last time ppl complaint about dell stuffs like how they complaint about HP and Acer.

but now, dell laptops seems to have quite a few good comments u know....

this is confined to their laptops only. Don't ever, in your life, get a dell desktop and don't use it also, unless your company buys it or you borrow your friend's computer.

but u hadnt answer my question?

sorry i never own a laptop b4. but my Uni uses dell desktops. wait for tmzz reply loh...

Can u guyz recommend me for vaio laptob that's great for gaming,entertainment......

yeah i agree..currently using dell inspiron 6000 laptop..customized in the net one..not bad..except keyboard is a little not nice..the rest is quite good..

however, if you can wait and plan to buy your laptop for gaming also, i suggest you to buy dell XPS..however, you must wait because it is just released in US..

how abt dell 700m?
