oh.. like dat ar

well.. i do my works most on programming, multimedia [photoshop,director,flash,3d stuff a bit], web design + building (php n mysql), games (hm.. warcraft/diablo is enuff, nfsu2??), music, burning, a rather large space [60-80 can?]..

my budget mayb 5k-6k.. or if can 4k-5k range?

You want to go cheap, can get Acer with ATI 9700 64MB.
Also, Dell 8600 is nice.

Go to www.acer.com.my and www.dell.com.my to see all the spec for the price that you want.

For dell, izit worth it to add 600+ for 3 yrs warranty? and for acer, their warranty only 1 year only ka?

dell 8600 is kinda huge izit~?

Yes. 8600 is huge....

RM368 for 3 years onsite warranty. But only Asia Pacific.
Acer also can add warranty. Should be more than RM400 but its international warranty.

Warranty is always worth to add.

If you buy from SenHeng or Harvey Norman, default is 3 years for all notebook. No need to add money.

Just thought you guys might be interested in this:

Brand New Dell D800 @ RM3,000 Off!

OMG Dat a good deal altho i dun reli hv dat kind of money

I'm actually looking at Compaq 3807, which is only available in certain shops in Singapore - ATI 9700 128MB for RM5000+ Unfortunately, HP's in a dispute with another company for allegedly stealing the design of this notebook from them, so even they can't directly sell this model pending a settlement

Can u post the spec here.. might be an interesting one i can consider..

how about DELL offer RM3499 that one ?

anyone comment ?

i saw that the memory of 256 is sharing with video card up to 64mb .... this is the bad thing ????

which model?
normally, 256mb is just right to run Windows XP alone.. let alone the extra features in SP2 like the new built in firewall and stuff that requires extra memory. I was told that it's best for laptop to get more ram to reduce disk access n pull down loading speed.

If u dont intend to run graphic intensive applications like playing full 3d games, then it's not that good... add another 512mb ram n u will wont regret coz (512+256)-64, u still hv plenty of ram left.

the real bottleneck of performance 4 laptop is HDD, get a faster drive, u will feel the improvement more significantly but this come with the price of increase the temperature of yr NB.
