If u asked me, its really isnt the cost of the AW lappy that holds a Malaysian to get an Alienware, but instead its support and warranty do (including shipping,handling, and taxes that need to be settled from here).

I configure a nice setup that is slightly has lower spec from mine (I include SLi) basically i can get everything including shipping and taxes for just RM7251.30 according to today's rate. I could have RM6906.00 setup without SLi but with better proc and RAM. That isnt that bad right? The problems are (i actually have discussed this alot in other threads) shipping and handling, government import taxes, and warranty & services. I think we could only wish Alienware reaches our shore so some of us could experience SLi in a laptop.

ADDED: Note that the shipping and taxes is applied for local (United States). Even if u r an american, it would cost u about RM350-RM400 just for the shipping, and that exludes the taxes charge. With taxes, it will cost you about RM500-RM600 just for shipping and taxes even if u lived next to the Alienware HQ. The only way to buy an AW system is to buy it online or by phone. U cant get it from retail for a brand new system. So my point is, the cost i mentioned above includes the shipping and taxes (for the U.S), so for an SLi notebook that costs around RM7000-RM8000 isnt that bad if u asked me. Too bad for Malaysians we have to deal with other things such as import taxes, international shipping, and unacceptable warranty policy.

Dell bought over Alienware didn't they? There's still hope! RM7251 is pretty decent though. I saw the 19" laptop on their site and I nearly died but it's all good. I think 19" is too much for my blood LOL.

Thanks. Just re-confirming that I will get the following specs for that price? Any chance I can drop by to have a look at the G1s and G2s models in person?

ASUS G2s (RM 7988)

ASUS G1s (RM 6988)

lol yeah. That one costs alot ! The 19" could reach like RM12,000++. It's the ALX. That one is unnecessary bcoz the extra thousand dollars u pay is actually for the first-class support and services plus the accessories that they throw-in with the ALX. That is absolutely unnecessary if u asked me.

yup RM7251 is not that bad isnt?, especially for an SLi notebook. That one is for the much humbler m9700. (I checked dictionary and there is a word "humbler"..)

Hi there need some recommendation for a laptop

Budget : 2-3k
Purpose : Portable , movies/music , projects, work
Requirement : Light , 13-14", preferable using Santa Rosa

Hi,
I'm new here..

Looking for some opinions
- purpose: demanding programming, graphics (photoshop, etc) and occasional game (GMA shld do, GF8400 better)

- weight < 2.5kg
- screen 14" and below, default with the weight I suppose?
- 1Gb RAM, 2GB preferred
- 3 yrs warranty
- santa rosa preferred
- budget 5K preferred, can be higher

I searched, possible options are below, what do u think?
Any1 can give me the current prices or other suggestion??
- Dell XPS M1210
- Compaq V3505-09TU
- BenQ S41
- HP dv2523TX, dv2505TX
- Asus A8Sc

Maybe:
- Vaio SZ (too expensive)

hi , i think to buy new laptop for entertainment only, like watch video , listen music , surf internet, and download using bt..
i hav 2 choices in my mind , hp pavillion dv2314tx or dv6227tx ,
i dunno which 1 better ....
what the dif between core duo and core 2 duo ?

hi guyz,
i'm planning to get a toshiba laptop but i dunno wat type to choose.
playing games like WoW
budget is around 4.5k

LOL... Same thing here...

But yeah, it's a good lappy, the G1S... Specs are nice, the size is right... Shame I just can't seem to take care of my lappies right (my previous C2220 fell so many times I lost count... Thank God it's a Fujitsu), so Dell's CC is a blessing to me...

But that can't stop me from getting jealous...

Hmm... from your list I'd say...

1. Asus G1s (If you can push your budget that high, and bare the extra weight - RM6988 - it's the perfect lappy)
2. Lenevo/IBM R61 (they're having a promotion or something last I checked - RM4800++, not bad for it's specs)
3. BenQ S41 (Great graphics for the price)
4. Asus A8Sc (Hey, it's an Asus! And santa rosa + 8400m to boot)
5. Dell XPS M1330 (If you can wait a few more months)
6. Dell XPS M1210 (If you cant...)
7. HP DV2523TX, DV2505TX (Nice design)
8. Compaq V3505-09TU (Cheap)
.
.
.
100. Sony Vaio SZ (Not worth the money... The SZ44 especially)

Just my 0.02 sens...

The long explaination --> CD = smaller cache, 32bit architecture; C2D = bigger cache, 64bit architecture... In short, the C2D is miles better then the CD...

But check other considerations before deciding... Graphics is of a particular concern... If you play demanding (as in 3D) games, take the one with the batter graphics chip...

Tomolo will go my fren shop at Imbi. Wan to see HP D2314TX i think. Rm3999 he offered me. What do u think bout this model? I think 14.1 with C2D T5600, 1GB DDR2 and Geforce 7200. A bargain right?
