nvr really look into laptop design until recently when wan to buy

dell one 6400 abit sad....
but is okie..coz the price very low.. XD
built quality XPS version might be able to match with the hp, compaq and vaio..not sure anyone got XPS? hehehe
used my laptop for heavy dl ady..
my room is cooler now compare using the pc..
last time on pc 24-7...
the room like oven..
need to try the laptop to play game like company of heroes.
by the way, what cooling pad good for the 6400?
yup. agree with u. other brands seems to have better built quality. especially HP. Dell one seems plasticky. but still a quality notebook + great warranty service.
FYI, 6400 is the cheapest performance notebook u can get it the market for now. with RM3K+ can get C2D, X1400 & 120GB HDD. don't think other brands offer this kinda specs for that price. for that kinda specs, 6400 cost more than RM4K-5K last year, when i bought mine.
used XPS for few days before. the LCD cover just seems more nicer with the black & silver accent. inside (keyboard & palm area) is just like 6400. plasticky too just that the keyboard keys is in silver, not in black like 6400. besides that, it's LCD cover has a nice locking mechanism. when we flip down 6400's LCD cover & 'lock' it, we need to push some sort of key to 'unlock' it right? XPS's one is without the key. when u flip it down, it will just lock by itself. hard to describe. u gotta check it out.

btw XPS is so so light.
Cooling pad u can try CM notepal.
