Sadly,the HP zd7000 is not able to be shipped over.But hopefully Malaysia or OZ will receive the model by next month.
Today i went to Dell's website and they have started selling the Pentium 735 and 745.Price is still reasonable at RM5600 for the 5160 model.But guess i'll still wait for better options in future.Kind of interested with the Aspire 2012 too.Really cheap for the specs.

Just got back from computer shop and saw the zv5000 and Aspire 2012.Build quality wise,Aspire is a little disappoinment.Not as good as HP's but as for specs and price,Acer won.

  Help!!! Is Acer Aspire really that bad? Should I get HP Compaq x1002 instead?


GO for the Aspire my man.Seen it and felt it on my own!Its the best buy currently.I've found the 3Dmadonion 2003 benchmark for the Compaq and Acer.

Compaq X1002= 700+ points
Acer Aspire= 2600+ points.

Aspire can handle 3D almost 4 times more!
Reason is Compaq has ATI 9200 only whereas Acer has ATI 9700

Gogo2,
my advice,go for Acer!Additional RM1k will show you a big difference!Firstly,the screen.Aspire is 15.4WXGA whereas HP is 14.1 XGA:(
Secondly,processor,Aspire is 1.5 GHZ.Then RAM.Then!VGA Card:D
Thats the big + for Aspire!HP is using intergrated.Invest more for a better machine;)
