wah.. then if get waranty how le ah?.... then cant test the system b4 buying it ah?

Dell normally provide "next business day on-site" warranty, which means they'll come to your address to pick up any problematic problem the next working day. But watch out coz some models are only covered for 3 months or 90 days instead of 1 year.

chong,
netboy is, as usual, right . Most of the low- and mid-range systems come with 1-year NBD on-site warranties. Only the absolute bargain basement systems come with 90-day warranties. If you're thinking of buying a Dell, it's probably worth it to pay more for the 3-year warranty upgrade; it might seem like a lot of money now, but it'll pay for itself if your screen dies in 2006 .

Thanks for the compliment AAY, but if I ever make any mistake, pls correct me!

aiyo like tat ah..... hai~.. hard to decide wat laptop to get le, coz actually i plan for the x1000 series (compaq) but itsd 2.95kg oh.. really really heavy ah..hahahh... so is dell actually recommended to buy ah? how much is the extension of the warranty?

so i seldom heard u guys talking abt Asus notebook.

good o not ler this book?

what do u think about Asus notebook? netboy?

my opinion : asus.... always great design & light weight... but i think kinda hard to get warranty here as no much service centre right?... very slim design.. really stylish & nice.... but for me too pricey ...

My opinion about Asus? Very poor after sales service support. Benq's after sales service support is quite poor also. Recently one of my client's Joybook 5000 had a faulty LCD. I sent it for repair straight away and they only return it back to me 3 weeks later. Imagine they need 3 weeks to fix a LCD - Not that they have many computer to fix..

walao... 3 weeks ah.....really long man....
netboy, additional ram will cost how much ah?... 1 x 256 pc2700 warranty:)

If I'm not mistaken, PC2700 256MB is around RM170-RM190.. I seldom take in PC2700 notebook rams coz most model currently only supports up to PC2100...

ic,,actully got big diff btwn those ??? pc2100 how much le?

but as i know. Asus have global warranty wor. wouldn't it is good???

mayb we need to ask AUS laptop user lo, any1 using asus laptop & claimed warranty b4??......

Having global warranty doesn't mean their services is good...

I am planning to buy a laptop under 5k but can't decide btw Fujitsu E 2010 and IBM R40 QQA. The latter seems to have poorer video graphic memory. I was hoping for one with a better sound system but dunno how to judge as well.

Where is the service centre for IBM and Fujitsu in KL?Is it cheaper to buy during PC fair and what are the free gifts that I should/can ask for?

I am also deciding to buy a laptop with Centrino Technology and I want it to come with a FireWire, USB 2.0 port..with luck should also include a geforce card or Radeon!
Budget should be below 5K!
BTW I am clueless on laptop as I am more of a desktop user

under 5k ? fujitsu wor, as i know fujitsu laptop is very nice but pricey,

I think i will just drop on Asus ok liow.
my budget is under 5k.

Only Toshiba and Compaq have the better quality sound system as both of them uses Harman/Kardon and JBL Pro speakers respectively. Other brands like Fujitsu, IBM, Acer etc only use normal stereo speakers.

Most Centrino notebooks should already come with USB2.0 and FireWire already but if you're looking for one with a good sound system and below RM5k, it's pretty much hopeless, unless you go for Acer 291XCi (Minus the good sound) at RM4,588.

any1 of u know would the notebook drop price like other hardware 1 huh?
if got when ler?

netboy u know o not ?
