Any comments about hyundai laptops?????

wah... hp is slow leh..... compaq=hp. both overheats.

acer is last choice.. and sony=toshiba no value for $$$

looks like still back to IBM

ibm R52 range of models.

ya everyone agrees that ibm looks ugly. it depends on how a person thinks. if you want to go for looks, i think samsung and toshiba are quite nice. but as for me, looks dosen't matter. as long as the thingy does its job and runs stable, its fine for me. value for $$$ matters lots too

acer is the last choice based on various people from multiple sources. so far, ppl who are doing serious work with their laptop has never recommended acer before. i only see students using acer because of the rebate, usually they have no knowledge of what they are buying. so, their opinion dosen't weigh much

as for toshiba, if you see the price lists u will understand. furthermore, it is a closed machine, unlike ibm. in an ibm, when the warranty is over, u can take the machine apart and modify/upgrade what you like. if so happens the hdd konk (as 1 of the forumers say), just change it yourself, DIY. but if the same thing happens to your toshiba, u gotta send it in. the only thing u can change is the ram. and toshiba is not as tough as ibm, e.g. left in car... u know....

all these are IMHO. opinions vary from person to person.

thx man.

a stolen line from ppl:

GOOD THINGS NO CHEAP, CHEAP THINGS NO GOOD

Value for $$$$ ?? ask the users of the product.

read a few posts backwards from here and you will understand more

guys u know what? last time ppl complaint about dell stuffs like how they complaint about HP and Acer.

but now, dell laptops seems to have quite a few good comments u know....

this is confined to their laptops only. Don't ever, in your life, get a dell desktop and don't use it also, unless your company buys it or you borrow your friend's computer.

sorry i never own a laptop b4. but my Uni uses dell desktops. wait for tmzz reply loh...

different context:

super macgyver: Ground, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4(top floor)
____ pds_disi : Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, Level 5(top floor)

the suppliers are normally located at the higher floors but they do not normally give lower prices.

ibm celeron? there is only 1 model there. check it out

i jsut discovered that samsung has built a name for itself... looks like only draw back is the batt life is short... (samsung x20 1.73Ghz sonoma, 512 ddr2 ram) please comment...

claimed to be 6 hours. in actual fact onli around 4 hours.. btw it uses dothan core. google around n u wil see. may be changing from ibm r52 to this lah.

one of the most powerful proc around for laptop is actually amd 64 turion. its found in acer ferrari 4000 which cost rm 6k. it uses ddr1. can match the speed of p4-M 2.5 Ghz. read this somewhere but now can't find. ask mr. google.

please dun say no budget... if no budget, the laptop will cost you 5 digits it is better if you ask the giver to give you the cash and then u buy what you like. OR, ask the giver to state the budget so that nobody will become at the end of the day. get what i mean?

is not that sony is not good, sony lacks value for $$$$$$$$

means pai seh.... if after you choose then he never thought of coming out with so much money then how?

if no budget then go IBM Z series or T series, or any high end Samsung laptops or tablet PC (rm10k and above).

IBM --> http://www-604.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s...686018425008262
Samsung: http://www.samsung.com/my/products/notebookpc/index.asp

from my experience, anybody who say like this are not being frank, even if its your parents, boyfriend girlfriend, or very close fren. Its a lot of cash there u know.. U'd better ask the person to be frank. The giver might not have enough knowledge to give a budget too. He might not know that rm15k laptops exist in this world.

To avoid any unecessary problems, it is still better to ask the person to give you the $$ and you buy yourself. IF not, ask the person to buy for you. 'You buy I pay' is not a very good thing to do when comes to buying rigs u know....

hi... stumbled upon this - for all who insist for a dell
disclaimer: i am not a anti-dell person

http://news.com.com/Dell+earnings+get+ding..._3-5945015.html

no specs???

fujitsu comps not many ppl use.. check for reviews. i see pc fair quite some ppl got buy fujitsu so let them have a feel 1st of their lappie

i bought samsung x20 from house of notebook in pc fair so far not a single problem. boot up very very fast.

RM3600 for 1.73 centrino, 1gb ddr2 ram, 40gb hdd.

there are more expensive versions. since you have that kind of budget u might like to go for higher end 12 inch samsung

if i not mistaken about 2kg something.... but it is very light. can carry effortless with 1 hand.

the rig above looks good but better if got reviews

btw, 1 thing which i like to remark is, ppl often get 'deceived' by the 'gigahertz race' (refer to hardware QnA thread). the higher the CPU clock, the faster the comp. This is not always true. Actually it really depends on what you use the laptop for.

You will also notice that by increasing the size of your RAM/Memory, there is a drastic change in terms of speed. e.g. in general:

the speed of 1.6Ghz @ 512MB DDR2 < 1.8Ghz @ 256MB DDR2

the reason is because most processes in general do not make full use of the processor but the ram. i.e. the ram is the limiting factor in speed when laptops are concern.

harddisks are non-remarkable when come to laptops because u actually can't do much about it till when sata laptop harddisks becomes widely available.

Note: this is from experience, i can't offer any benchmarking for this because i don't have the time to do this. Any1 who do benchmarking on this, perhaps you would like to verify this statement
