My initial offer is RM5,450 with Free upgrade to 512MB DDR SDRAM (256mb x2).

Budget RM5ooo  easy, just get any Pentium4-m Laptop will do, or if you favor the Centrino Laptops, consider:

1.Compaq X1000, after bargain less RM200, its about RM5500 afer upgraded to 512MB RAM, 15.9" wide WXGA screen, after reading the review at zdnet.com or cnet.com, few people says that it has short wifi range, lousy keyboard.

2.NEC Versa E680 , bout RM4650 after bargain, available in white or black casing and 14" or 15" inch display. Has everything except IrDA and parallel port, keyboard not so nice feel, but usable. USB ports are not separated in different area, you will have a hard time plugging in and out USB plug if you tend to use 3 or 4 USB device in the same time.

3.IBM R40, the brand IBM speak for its self. I found out many people loves the keyboard of IBM laptops. Upgrade to 3 year warranty for an additional of RM150 for the 1 year warranty models. Down side is its quite heavy at 3.0KG for the R series, unless you get the light weight Titanium T series. Design of the laptop gives you the "professional" look 

4.BenQ Joybook 5000, trendy design, however the casing its a bit "plasticky". Light weight for a 14.1" screen laptop, if not mistaken, cover for the LCD a bit soft.

5.Acer Travelmate 290XCi, few people ask me not to buy Acer's laptop, so there. 

how about my NEC Versa S900 150DR ??? why anyone reply? only got new question sumore.. waa... btw.. when will the centrino 2 come out?

7-9k????? definately an acer ferrrari 3200
