Well, I guess why not give Dell Inspiron 8500 a try... Value for money and yet among the most powerful laptops available in the market (You can get the most powerful mobile graphics card with Inspiron 8500). I've been using Inspiron 8200 for almost a year, no glitches at all. Btw, I really love my 15" UXGA Enhanced with Dell UltraSharp Technology (It really makes your LCD look better than standard monitors)... You don't really find many UXGA laptops in the market.
Many retailers pointed out that Dell have a poor after sale services when the warranty expires. Well, so far, my laptop is in 100% working condition even after a year. Hmm, who ever want to send their laptops back to the factory a few times a year even if they have excellent after sale services? |

So far I've used 3 brand.
IBM still the most solid - but expensive  ! Dell flimsy design, always have the cursor flying all over the screen cos the palm reast flex alot (maybe only happen to budget model  ) and Acer ... so-so with lousy keyboard layout (refer below).One thing to note is the keyboard layout. If you use the "Home", "End", "Pg Up" & "Pg Dn" pls look to make sure you don't need to use the FN keys to sellect them. They are a real pain  if you use MS Office alot - especially Excel. |

Most IBMs have incredible keyboards, but one thing to note is that many of their models don't have Windows keys.
SIWIS, Delivery time depends on availability. Give Dell a call, and don't be afraid to tell them you're also looking at a few other brands of laptops - I know of people who've persuaded the sales guy to start throwing in freebies like extra adapters, batteries, etc. |

SIWIS,
The Inspiron 8500 was replaced with the 8600, I think. I don't think Toshiba has a Malaysian site. The closest would either be the Toshiba Asia or the Tele Dynamics site. |
