DELL has this warranty thing that i think is really good
some sort of cover all warranty
it fixes/replaces your laptop if something happened to it
by "something" i mean accidents...things that happen unintentionally
for example, spilling stuff onto your laptop
but if its stolen then its not covered cos thats considered an intentional act by somebody...and also then DELL will pokkai cos everybody will report their laptop is lost laugh.gif
haven't actually made use of this warranty yet but thats what they claim

edit: "good"

Thanks mate....just wonder about the brand Acer. Reliablity and after sales issue especially. I know dell is good coz I'm using it for my desktop and heard a lot of praises for Compaq. But not sure for Acer.

Cheers.

i read on asia.cnet that the acer ferrari's performance is not very good

Acer also offers a 128MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics card, which is great for playing the latest 3D games, will not support the latest DirectX 9 drivers.

While Ferrari is usually synonymous with speed, the Acer notebook didn't live up to that name. It managed an average score of only 143 for MobileMark2002 and 134 for SYSmark2002, which is equivalent to Centrino systems with Pentium M 1.3GHz or 1.4GHz processors. In terms of 3D graphics acceleration, the Ferrari did not disappoint, clocking more than 6,300 points in 3DMark2001SE tests. This performance should interest casual gamers and multimedia users.

Hi,

I'm also looking for a laptop and the only problem is that I found out that only Acer 8003LCi have a 128 video card on board. Anyone out there is using this. Need some comment on this brand as not familiar with Acer.

I will use the laptop for mostly graphic ie video editing and the occasional games.

Cheers.

if you don't mind laptop being huge and heavy, then i suggest the dell inspiron 9100
since you're on that budget the inspiron 9100 is affordable
the wuxga screen is beautiful
it also comes with 128mb mobility radeon 9700
but it seriously lacks battery life
check out the specs
and also you might want to read reviews on http://asia.cnet.com

cheers
