notebook overheat may due to some reasons;
1. poor ventilation, notebook shall place on at hard flat surface. not on soft or clothed surface such as bed, sofa ... etc
2. cooling pad is an added advantage if one wants to use for a prolong time
3. not under direct hot sun
4. air-conditioned room isnt as good heat reducer as a normal table fan

as notebook using a small fan to dissipate heat, one need to be cautious or take estra care to reduce its heat.

I've heard that too. But i was'nt quite sure. Is it HP in general? Or maybe there are some models that have this overheat problem?
Btw, what model of HP u used?

my cousin used her HP for 1 and a half year. she dun play any game on it. never had problem! not even to say what overheat problem. she keep recommending HP laptop. maybe some of u are just unlucky

i dont know. but i heard lots talking bout Dell is a good brand

DELL is good in term of their customer service

dell service is very good, my m1530 graphic card burned, played crysis on high for 4 hours ++, and i call dell , tmr dell come straight fix, then can play d, but u want high end for laptops, it's a little bit pricy, but 3k range is for normal users, surfing the net, play dota all those crap la, i nvr use toshiba etc, dell is join my opinion la!

Hi,

I thought of buying the dell inspiron mini 12, but am not sure whether the spec is ok for my usage. I'm going to use it for my assignment, surfing and watch dvd (if possible). Expectatation price rm1k-2k, and the screen size that i prefer is below 13"..any suggestion on other notebook that can be considered?thanks..

Added on February 26, 2009, 1:03 pmwell, i think that you must be a travelling person.

i just think that 12 inch is really hard to watch DVD. if can why not you take the low end vostro series the 1310. it has intel celron processor which i think suited for basic application, 13.3 inch screen, and a dvd drive that is not available with inspiron mini but a little haevy than mini. i think the last time it was advertised with the price tag of 1700++.

if you don't mind you may check out the toshiba L300 sereis, compaq cq sereis (amd processor one) and lenovo g430. all of these have price taq of 1700++ and less than 2k but the spec are basic only and 14 inch screen. however it still enough for the basic application you mentioned and it beter than the vostro spec i mention. the downside will be the wieght.

have a thought about it. thanks.

Hi y'all...I wanna ask a few things...can anyone tell me which laptop is better? Between HP Pavilion dv3 or Lenovo Ideapad Y450? It seems from my opinion, I would spend my money on HP....maybe some expert on forums can tell me?? Thanks...

hi.. planning to get Asus F80Q.. Any suggestions bout this model?? Anyone use it before??

Any idea where to buy the battery of Acer Aspire 5551ANWXCi ?

im planin to get lenovo Y450 and 1st time to use laptop after 5 year use desktop..any suggestion??

budget about below 3k, whats the most decent one for a gurl for normal browsing?.wont lag, and comes with good integrated fan ?..hehe..value for money laptop..any recommendation?

There are many options here.. for full sized laptops,you might wanna look at the Acer Aspire line, HP/Compaq, or even Dell. (not recommended if you are very short-tempered in customer services when your laptop breaks down!)

Oh, if it's just normal browsing and occasional music or videos.. and maybe a little paperwork or anything, you could get one of those netbooks (small notebooks you see people using in Starbucks). Currently the most popular ones are Asus Eee PC and Acer Aspire One, but MSI Wind is also good! Price range is very attractive, usually from less than RM1000 to RM1500 tops.

ouh. okay, thanks for the info, will look into it. But brands such as compaq and dell always has complains such as being unstable for compaq and for dell, (i dunno why, but seems like popularity drops)

how about brands such as toshiba, lenovo, and asus ?

Hi All,

Take a look at the cool range of MSI notebooks launched by us in KL Tower recently: http://www.goldfries.com/goldfries-at/msi-product-launching/
