my previous dell inspiron's hinge is a nightmare. Once the 1yr warranty over tht damn thing break. After a doin some research again i buy another dell. But this time a vostro 1400. So far very good. Can feel the build quality is way better thn my previous inspiron.

The key to get a laptop is not the brand but the model.

Anyway r any Asus laptops of any good? Thinking of getting F5RL-16DX( F5RL-AP007D ) for my gf.

My other option is Presario V3794TU.

Which of these is better?

I would appreciate if u guys hav a better option thn mine.

I'm looking for 1 which less thn 2.8k.

Preferably with a standalone graphic card like 8400gs, 2gb RAM, hard disk above 150gb and a core2duo (around T7+++)

If the specs seems out of reach, do recommend me the nearest to the 1 i stated. If its slightly more thn 2.8k, i can still consider.
