next year i will be going overseas to study, so need to buy a laptop. as im not really pro in this kind of stuff, need some help from u all

Budget: actually it's a gift from other ppl, so can say is an unlimited budget (coz im allowed to choose, hehe)but of course not TOO EXPENSIVE la..

Purpose: Online, school projects & assignments, some games, musics & entertainment and many other stuff

SPEC
1.8Ghz and above
HDD: at least 60GB (prefer 80 gig above)
RAM: 512 MB above ( what's the difference between shared and not shared?)
Screen: (not too small, 15 inch will be nice, 14 also ok gua)
DVD Burner or DVD+CDrewriter
at least 3 USB port
Intergrated Bluetooth, wifi...whatever
not too bulky..
Good graphics...for movies & games

now at the moment it's only this la... might add in some more stuff again...after my exam.... 4 more days! estimate the cost for me please... thanks! which brand of laptop that's good? is Sony bad? i heard from my relatives that Sony is not that good...dunno wo...

oh yeah btw, not too ugly please... & thanks!

please dun say no budget... if no budget, the laptop will cost you 5 digits it is better if you ask the giver to give you the cash and then u buy what you like. OR, ask the giver to state the budget so that nobody will become at the end of the day. get what i mean?

is not that sony is not good, sony lacks value for $$$$$$$$

what do u mean by ????
erm the giver says whatever laptop i choose also can wo... asked him what if too expensive he says no worries ~~~

means pai seh.... if after you choose then he never thought of coming out with so much money then how?

if no budget then go IBM Z series or T series, or any high end Samsung laptops or tablet PC (rm10k and above).

IBM --> http://www-604.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s...686018425008262
Samsung: http://www.samsung.com/my/products/notebookpc/index.asp

from my experience, anybody who say like this are not being frank, even if its your parents, boyfriend girlfriend, or very close fren. Its a lot of cash there u know.. U'd better ask the person to be frank. The giver might not have enough knowledge to give a budget too. He might not know that rm15k laptops exist in this world.

To avoid any unecessary problems, it is still better to ask the person to give you the $$ and you buy yourself. IF not, ask the person to buy for you. 'You buy I pay' is not a very good thing to do when comes to buying rigs u know....

I think Toshiba not bad ar..

guys.....sony viao vgn-b66sp (not sure la the model) located at sony wings KLCC which is used for public internet usage i.e. display unit is selling cheap at rm3999.

forgot speces...but....anyone interested...rush there......

anyways....noticed at the pc fair fujitsu is using a lot of AMD Mobile as it's proc....anyone has experience using AMD Mobile proc???
just want comparison and feedback...

I got 1 question. Where can I get those Alienware laptop in Malaysia. It cost me more than 6k if I order a laptop online. Anyone pls help me!!

sorry, u need to order oversea only.

Me too... I'm so lost. Anyways going to look out very soon coz going to college.

COMPAQ PRESARIO M2223 looks ok.

BTW, what's the difference between a lapotop with a pre-installed software and a laptop without one?

a laptop without one is usually the 1 with pc dos O/S.

My friend looking for a laptop. Needs a light one. Budget about 5k plus or minus 400 hundred.

Compaq, Acer or any other reputable brands.

Needs to be a centrino.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

u can try with toshiba or fujitsu.

i bought samsung x20 from house of notebook in pc fair so far not a single problem. boot up very very fast.

RM3600 for 1.73 centrino, 1gb ddr2 ram, 40gb hdd.

there are more expensive versions. since you have that kind of budget u might like to go for higher end 12 inch samsung

how about the weight which concern by the forumer?
