I need to buy a laptop with the budget 3k

The machine is use for the following purposes:

1) Gaming
2) Internet Surfing
3) Video Chat
4) Playing music & DVD
5) Others

Currently I'm comparing these 2 machines

1) Ben Q S31W
2) Twin Head H12F(W)

Also, would like to check the difference of AMD Turion X 2 and Intel Core Duo or C2D. Is AMD suitable for laptop? Gaming?

Buying hp laptop didn't provide you with any driver cd, they just ask you to backup a recovery dvd by your own normally take 3-4 dvds (and it takes quite some time to do that). Also remember to get the model number right, got a friend who flash hip hp laptop bios and become black screen and that is because he flash the wrong model bios, and that model is obtain from hp online diagnostic utility. (Proves that their bios flashing utility didn't have check and verify procedure) So just be careful
*
if flash bios wrongly .. can recover back ar ??
or hv to take back to the service centre ???
does it cover in the part of warranty ? ?

Also one tip for installing xp on hp laptop is you need the SATA driver (if you decide not to use the recovery dvd to restrore the xp)

Hi. New here.

Currently researching on suitable lappys to bring over when I head off overseas soon. I'm generally a heavy user, and my use mainly is for running design programmes like 3DS Max, Sketchup, AutoCAD, Photoshop, Illustrator, Macromedia, Premier Pro, etc (you get the picture yea?), net usage and rather mild downloading.

Models considered has so far been Dell 9400 or the XPS 1210 because well, packaged prices are quite affordable.

So specs looking for will be as below:

1. Processing glory
2. Lots of RAM (minimum 1GB) or at the very least, allocated room to upgrade RAM (currently looking at models with dual channel DDR2^2 which allows for that)
3. A reasonably good graphics card to process everything la.
4. Doesn't have to have to compact size or with large screen or ultra light, but at least be portable enough to not break my back!
5. International warranty ;P

I think for the specs I listed, I can expect a budget of at least RM5000 - RM6000. Meh.

Recommendations pwease!
*
erm ... if i not mistake ... dell only cover asia pacific warranty right ??
how bout HP pavilion model ?? dv2000 or dv 6000 ??

Yeah, it does, unless I upgrade to the 3-year complete cover thing.
Mmm, about HP, well they are portable and look good too. xp Though I've there's complaints about after-sale-services. :s
Do you have any specific models in mind?
Eh, I thought XPS M1710 isn't available in Malaysia.

Actually your big concern is battery. Run graphic heavy usage + c2d, your battery life probably will last you 1-1.5 hour only. So you might need to get a few backup battery.
*
yeah ... perhaps u need to get another battery o ^ ^
