u can consider ASUS as well if:

----the laptop is not to be used as video game portal (you can set ur shared memory to 64M in order to play games).
----don't need DVD-rom and CDR-W (u can get an external combo drive at RM300).
----don't need wireless. (u can buy an external WIFI adaptor later. Better than built-in)

L2400-E/L2000E ASUS model:

Intel Pentium 4-m 2.2GHz.
Sis Video card (shared memory - adjustable shared memory).
24x CD-ROM <----- major drawback.
20GB hdd.
14.1" LCD screen.
2 PCMCIA card slots.
256 DDR RAM - 2 slots.
floppy drive.
Excellent ports - 2 x 2.0 USB, 2 x 1394 FireWire, 1 x parallel port, S-port, IR, External Monitor port, PS/2, Lan/modem port and 9 pin D-sub serial port adaptor.
Audio DJ.

1 optical mouse - depends on the salesman mood - keep pestering him/her to give u one .

2 YEARS INT WARRANTY.
INSTALLATION OF WIN XP IS OPTIONAL <=== can save money.

Actual price RM3399 for 128 RAM or add RM99 for 256 RAM.


Centrino built-in WiFi firmware can be upgraded?? Like from 802.11b to 802.11g??
