is it better to wait for the PC FAIR to buy laptop ? got lots of freebie and cheaper ??

hmm ... can't wait to get one .... but wanna wait the price to drop first ...

last week i heard one salesman in lowyat said that if wanna buy then wait for beg of next yr jan ...as got some new tech comin and price will be lower for other laptop ????

my budget under 5k .......
not gaming leh ....but sometime play some games la ...... very rare .. tongue.gif
just work and online ........
online for long long hours .....
going to bring it to AUS .....

wat do u guys think ??

i heard that price is concerned with weight ?
i don mind the weight .....

well, FYI most of the ODMs/OEMS are from taiwan & China. xcept fujitsu and sony are made in japan IIRC.

and wat do u mean Asus, Benq getting lower cost in order to mark up more?
price vary becoz of configuration/specifications and also the built/design.

Asus, HP, Fujitsu, Benq and some other are well known brand.
Aris, Essential are quite new to the market, estabalished locally IIRC.

Looking for a Centrino below rm4k? try ur luck with Aris, Essential, Prestigio, Hyundai M-Life, Techdos (if i left out any brand...sorry la, can't remember all) tongue.gif
Twinhead AMD based laptop also got.

or how bout Celeron M based notebooks, basically it's a crippled Pentium M Banias core, with 1/2 of the L2 cache and also advance power saving feauter. Acer has some, price vary from rm3.6k~rm4.4k

cheers. just my 2cents.
