Looking for a laptop which catters my needs @ some of basic specs:

- light weight, < 2kg

- long batt life (can anyone tell eithercentrino or duo core performs better in terms of power consuming?)

- larger screen, the better (standard 12.1" at this weight, but 14" is more preferred!)

- 1GB preferrably (512MB will do too), Intel GMA 900 will do, 60GB+

- integrated bluetooth

- most importantly, priced below RM4500

Any specific brands that you guys had in mind? I know it's a tight budget, but in case you guys knows any models available.

Btw, HP Presario B2814 seems to have attractive specs and price.. but I couldnt get any info online, wondering if it only available in M'sia? Any reviews or feedbacks on this laptop?

Thanks!

i have a problem in finding a good laptop as well.. Can suggest what brand of laptop is good??

I'm currently using a Toshiba Qosmio... but I guess its not really for the user that wants portability.. but seriously .. .it's got DA POWER!

Battery life ain't nothing to shout about either, about 2.5 hours on the standard battery and about 4 on the 12 cell one...

But hey, with a 17" WUXGA screen, I'm not complaining

Guys, to be honest, Dell (Latitude) and IBM Lenovo Thinkpad are the best out there. If you got extra cash, go for Vaio.

I got 2 Acer, but both LCD already cracked only after few months. Cost me RM1300 to fix 1 LCD (the super bright type).

Yes, i dropped them but i could not understand how come they are so easy to crack. Quite crazy.

I will never buy Acer again. Never.

Now i am using Dell Latitude. It is a rock solid stable hardware. Never hang !!!!!

do u know the price for P7120 & P1510?

One more complaint about Acer's low quality. Left click under touch pad for my both Acer are now loose, not tight anymore. Just waiting time to be broken. It happened just after 1 month using it during office hours.

IBM Notebooks got the best touch pad click buttons. Still tough like new even after 7 years of daily usage since 1998.

My friend is going to UK next month and she's searching for a good laptop.
Can anyone recommend me a good laptop brand ?
Her budget is only rm3000..

hey dudes , can i pinjam topic a while ?
VAIO Notebook VGN-FE28GP , nice mou ?? Geng mou ?? i use for Gaming and home entertainment...
budgeT? below RM7000 above RM5000
Must geng in gaming n branded can d... giv some others advice ...
request : Small in size , not very heavy , LCD no need too big, but speaker sound must nice , others nvm...

1 more question , can i replace the build-in soundcard come with the VGN-FE28GP to Creative HD audio soundcard ? first time buy laptop...

haha sorri for noob question le....

I am VAIO and DELL user. I will never turn to other brand ( I am quite doubt on Lenovo also). Vaio is very slim, high class and worth every cents you pay for it.

oo , then can i reply or change or add any sound card to the vivo laptop?

VAIO n Dell is a good brand n better quality..But VAIO is quite expensive..

DELL now has Core 2 Duo lappies on sale....

im finding a laptop with a budget of rm5000.. i want it high spect.. acer 5673 izzit ok ?

Hi, im newbies about laptop.. which one is better the new compaq v3040 or Lenovo Thinkpad R60.. both do not comes with the OS but already dual core.. can you guyz give me advise ?...

and then, is there any difference in term of quality between LEnovo and IBM?? coz although its already same company, i still see they still use separate branding like HP with Compaq

Thx

NEW SET!!!GRAB NOW!!!!

i'm looking for a laptop wit basic tat can surf net, wireless, less than rm2500 OR a pc wit basic tat can surf net, less than rm2000. can cash installment is better (no cc)

Lenovo IBM thinkpad. hehe...

Lenovo still selling Thinkpads under IBM name because they have the rights to the name for another four years or so. Also, the support and design of Thinkpads are done by the same team (Lenovo just bought the whole dept.) Thinkpad has a very good reputation so why not use it to boost sales? Plus, IBM still does give technical support for them.

can anyone suggest a laptop for me??

budget around RM2k.

jus need to use it for working n listening 2 music. Preferebly light weight.

budget type laptop will be from dell...

but i personally prefer Asus laptops..
been serving me fine... especially the M2N generation laptops..
best i can get with that price.. and also.. it comes in Asus mainboards..
reliable and stable..

never once fail on me.. that i can guarantee.. not even a single crash..
and i go on gaming and heavy engineering applications...
