NEC also good mar....many features included in a very good price!!!

If got money then buy Toshiba,Sony,Fujitsu,BenQ lor....if no money then i choose NEC or Asus rather than Compaq/Dell....why?? My company bought 3 Compaq laptop then few years later the display spoilt liao...all three spoilt in the same year!!!....so i have no confidence in this brand liao....

Dell...hehe like one of our fren said....lazy to call...kekeke...furthermore dun like Dell coz they spoilt the entrepreneur's market....no middle man the price still damn expensive....

yip, i'm still wondering why the pridce is still quite high though there is no middle man..

ok...wanna ask whether i should wait for centrino 2 or just buy a centrino now? if i wan centrino, can recommend any model? (with 256bm ram, 40gb hdd, good graphics card)

Few brands recommended:
1. IBM, Fujitsu, Sony, Toshiba, Dell, BenQ,...
2. Compaq, NEC, Asus,...
3. Acer,...

Don't simply buy a laptop, do some survey before you buy.

Ya loh, we must do survery first before buying laptop. We must know the user comment. Try to ask those experts in this forum before you buy. Remember this.

dell services are goooodddd enuff..~!! go for it..

BenQ is better than Compaq?

tthink compaq better than benq

Compaq x1075.. RM5,488

Thnxz, i will go survey for it. Fast n easy recommendation i got here.. hehe

I plan to buy notebook but don't know what brand should i get...

ASUS or DELL or Other Choices?

I will bring notebook to AUS coz i study there.

Did this 2 brand got service centre at AUS?

My budget is RM5000 - RM6000.

Asus service is the worst! I tried to send my laptop to warranty and it takes more than one month to return! what do you think?

Why my frenz say very fast leh?

Last time his laptop send for a service due to keyboard error but its only take 3 days to send it back home.

I already check at ASUS website they don't have any Service centre at Australia.

hi SIWIS,
Your requirement for 6.5 hours battery life would be impossible even if it's a Centrino-based notebook. The 6.5 hrs is a theoretically calculated time by Intel. In real life, you won't be able to get 6.5 hrs on any Centrino notebook (At least on all that I've tried so far...) even if it's on standby mode.
BTW, your system requirement seems to meet Compaq x1075, Benq Joybook 5000, IBM T41 and Fujitsu S6120/6130.
