i don't recommand anyone to buy local made a notebook. better go for dell, if $$ is a constraint
i have a few question, some expert pls help me:
1) celeron M and Pentium  M also consider as centrino?<= NO, only Pentium M with 1MB L2 cache is considered as centrino processor
2) celeron M and Pentium M power consumption is big different? or same? <=Centrino processors consumes less power
3) can i buy from dell but don wan the original OS? <= IMPOSSIBLE!!
4) possible for 3.5k nb to use for 3dmax autocad?(although slow but still can accept right? <= With that price range, even a notebook with IEG2 can run autocad, rational rose (I supposed you are an engine student?)
5) pls recomeded a around 3.5k nb with
-posible-->centrino? pentium M? <= i recommand you to get Dell Inspiron
-long lasting batteries(at least 4hour)
-can use 3d max and autocad
-some gaming(not necesary)
-don too heavy
-must have wireless
-bigger harddisk is better
-screen size is better 14+ since working on 3D
-usb x 3 or more is better

1st of all, centrino is NOT a processor, centrino is just a mobile technology 'package' introduced by Intel, or in another word, marketing and it's quite successful =p

centrino mobile technology consists of:
1. Intel Pentium M processor whether the L2 is 1MB or 2MB, 400MHz or 533MHz,
aka Banias, Dothan & Sonoma
2. Intel PRO/Wireless Network Connection Family: 2100B/2200BG/2915ABG
3. Mobile Intel 915 Express Chipset Family: 915GM/PM/GMS & 910GML Express
or Intel 855 Chipset Family: 855GM/GME/PM Chipset

for more info can refer sniper's FAQ on Centrino (tho not updated yet tongue.gif)

2nd, there's no such thing as local made notebook in malaysia AFAIK, only the Brand name might sound local, but they get/contract their notebooks from the OEMs based in Taiwan. the same case for 'branded' notebook e.g Fujitsu, HP, NEC etc...


cheers. just my spamcents. rolleyes.gif

I think the only option you have now is Dell 510m or I6000, with all the features you required in should be around RM3800, but only the GPU won't cut it for you as it only spot a X300.

As for Acer, there are only two option TravelMate 4151LCi and 4151NLCi, RM3900++ and RM3600++ respectively with on the different in harddisk capacity. But both also don't have the bluetooth and suport only wifi b and only with adequate GPU Intel Extreme 2 Graphics Technology and up to 64MB VRAM.

TM4151LCi & TM4151NLCi running on Mobile 915GM Express chipset... wth is with the intel xtrem graphics 2 up to 64MB VRAM? doh.gif
isn't it suppose to be Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 and up to 128MB RAM of video memory? whistling.gif

intel 855GM/GME series and 852GM chipset = intel extreme graphics 2
intel mobile 915 express chipset e.g mobile 915GM/GMS & 910GML = intel GMA 900
