If core duo and amd x2, personally I will choose AMD...
why dont you consider v3250?
*
The laptop drop little bit now right? I think u can get this v3250 lower than RM2299 now. May be is santa rosa is being intro soon so old model have to drop the price now. I saw acer aspire 5052 just selling RM1999 now. smile.gif The retail price is RM2299.

Thanks for your advice.

I plan to use it for my work (I work in a Engineering Consulting environment) and personal use. Not really into games. Sometimes need to view CAD files.

What is your opinion on AMD Turion 64X2 against Intel duo 2 core?
A friend recommended AMD Turion.
Not sure abt AMD. Heard that it overheats etc.

Cannot decide whether to go for AMD or Intel

Would really appreciate your reply.

Cheers

AMd turion x2 no heat problem as well. dont worry about that. It also can control to be more energy saving by powernow technology.

If u got higher budget get Intel C2D. The archicture of design is better than Turionx2.

* If u want to take Intel procesor pls hold on ur order until x3100 IGP release. The X3100 is design to support well in vista environment.

benQ.. somehow the brand is not so convenience  sweat.gif

coz some frenz faces some probs after using this brand

btw the specs

CORE 2 DUO 1.66GHz <-- so for laptop this same-same with 3.0GHz?
14.1" WCSV
VIA 256MB <-- VIA is stand for?
1GB DDR2 <-- can add up until how G?
100 GB <-- SATA? or how laptop hardisk type?
DVD-RW
BT: YES
CR: NO
WIFI: YES <-- LAN / Modem port got or not?
OS: LINUX
WRTY: 1 + 2 YEARS
WGHT: 1.9

one more.. can this lappy run so-so heavy games? im not hardgamer just a fan of NFS series..can it run NFS most wanted? whistling.gif minimum graphic setting will do as long as the car run smoothly..
*
Desktop processor always the best if comparing with laptop 1. Laptop can't put the high performance pro cos need to consider the heat problem & energy consume. So if u need a high performance pro please choose desktop.

VIA just a brand like GF,ATI,INTEL GMA that produce graphic card. Mostly this graphic card is built in with motherboard and the performance is so-so only. If u want to play the latest games please take GF/ATI dedicated GPU. biggrin.gif

New model of laptop will using sata HD as well but the speed just 5400rpm not like desktop HD can support 7200rpm & 10000rpm. Dell laptop got option to upgrade to 7200rpm HD but the price is expensive and generate heat. sad.gif

laptop normally have 2 RAM slot. support how many GB of ram have to decide by motherboard can support or not. Normal mobo can support up to 2GB while some can support 4GB. rclxms.gif

LAN & dial up modem port is a must for laptop. so worry free about this problem icon_rolleyes.gif

nice price there, i think should be decent for the new santa rosa. just if you can sacrifice about rm200 more from your max budget , you can try Asus F3SC which come with new nvidia 8400M gpu.

http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=5&l2=...660&modelmenu=2

unless you dont think much about the needed for dedicated 128mb gpu, you can just get that toshiba.

just a suggestion from me.
cheers.

edit: that asus abit heavy than the toshiba due to the size of the screen resolution. 2.95kg ..

How much cost for this laptop? Hopefully didnt exceed his budget.
