hi yeahh,

Here's my recommendations:
1) Fujitsu E2010 P4-M 2.0/256/14.1" XGA/30GB/Combo/XP Home RM4,999
2) Compaq 2165AF P4-M 2.4/256/15" XGA/40GB/Combo/FDD/XP Home RM4,999

netboy, you still stock presario x1031? how much you can give for x1075 & x1031 (if still have)?

if possible pls quote for ASUS M2000 N series too.

Evo N620 C - is it still at 6,399?

thanks for your help

i read some review saying that benq joybook 5000 is quite good , value for money ...

I didn't receive any news from Compaq about x1031. At first I thought the price will drop but so far, not even the stock nor price drop news is here. Currently, only x1075 is available in stock (Limited - Once sold out, new stock coming in end of October) priced at RM5,488.
PM for my offer.

Joybook 5000 - Centrino 1.4/256/30/Combo/14.1"/XP Home RM5,199
N620c - PM1.4/40G/256/DVD/XP Pro/3yrs RM6,399

I didn't receive any price update from Compaq. I assume the price haven't drop.

My company doesn't take in ASUS anymore since last February.

is compaq a recommended buy?? it seems quite comparable wif the fujitsu notebooks ... but if there's any problem wif the laptop im jsut wondering whether they'll give just as good service as fujitsu ... as i've mentioned b4 they're service centre is at damansara which is quite convenient for me cuz i frequent that place but ... lowyat abit too far .. and i know netboy has his shop there ... but to go there to service my dusty keyboard and my dirty screen hehe ... abit troublesome

where are they're service centres anyway?? for compaq ...

Compaq's Malaysia HQ is at PJ SS13. Near UTAR (Old The STAR).

UTAR? isnt that next to MISA? malaysian indoor sports arena ... i often go there to play futsal ...

*Note that the cache is 1024KB or 1MB instead of the stated 512KB. I'm not sure why Compaq/HP made such silly mistake on its site.

For installment, look at the following:
1) Maybank Credit Card: The Agreed Price / 12 months
2) Standard Chartered Credit Card: (The Agreed Price + 2%) / 12 months
3) Citibank Credit Card: (The Agreed Price + 3%) / 12 months

My friend just encounter a nightmare with HP notebook

He just bought HP Compaq nx9000 preinstall with WinXP ..... when he got the notebook .... the notebook hang more than he could use it ...... then he told the reseller and the reseller install Win2000 and things get slightly better .

My friend intend to setup WIFI and this notebook totally cannot detect the wifi signal (build in WIFI) ...... when test with a PCMCIA WIFI card ....cannot run b'cos conflict with the build-in WIFI that totally cannot be disable.

When tested with a LAN connection to the router .... the notebook terus mati (KO) .....

And now the notebook send back to the service centre ......



Hi Netboy ..... according to my friend the reseller told him that HP notebook run better, more compatible/stable with Window 2000 than WinXP .... izzit true ???

Have u encounter problem with HP notebook b4 or my friend just the unlucky one....!!!

Uh? Honestly, I've never encountered such (wifi) problem with nx9000 before or other models. And the Win2000 thingy is totally bull****.

Perhaps your friend is unlucky?

That's what i told my friend .....bull**** Win 2000 is better ....


By the way .....how to make this nx9000 notebook auto detect the wifi signal ...... i can't seems to help my friend to detect the wifi signal .... izzit easy to setup wifi ...???

Hey Netboy ...what do u think of this HP nx 9000 notebook .... izzit a good one(apart from my friend's one) ???

what wifi are you trying to connect to? 802.11a, b or g? and what can the nx9k support?

nx9000 support 802.11b and the Netgear WIFI+AP+Router also support 802.11b

don't ever get clone notebook.
Get a branded notebook like Dell, Toshiba, IBM, Fujitsu..
Dell is cheap and can be customise....

Money is a problem, Dell is good, u can configure it.

nx9000 is good model (If not the best). How much your friend bought it? The current price is RM4,899 and that makes it quite reasonable.

The built-in wireless card should detect available access point automatically by default. Try removing the wireless card under Device Manager and re-installing it with default setting. If it still can't detect, try tweak your Netgear set instead.

Ok ...TQ ....

Will try after the notebook discharge from hospital.....


By the way Netboy ..... will HP swap one new notebook if the current notebook continue to give problem ???
If there is hardware problem .... will they repair it ???
