hey guys.. need some help here..
my dad asked me to find a laptop for his company

which is able to use Map making software, and some 3D stuff...
any suggestion?
budget... not more than 5K i think?

i advice u take HP Compaq 3204tu ... in term of quality and customer service , it is much more better than them...  

Is there any HP that has an 8600GT graphics card somewhere around the RM5000 price line?

I saw the dv2500 at the roadshow in 1Utama and not really impressed by the specs. Even the dv6500 only comes with a GS....

Oh yeah.... hopefully around 15" too..... the 17" dv9500 is out of my budget and it's waaaaaaaaaay too big.

thanks for the reccomandation miyabi n john jay... they changed their mind about the laptop and ended up buying a desktop instead.. haih.. Thanks anyway!

From 4000 - 5000
Basically all the 4 brand up there is around that range right?
I was looking at their Graphic card, all 4 can have DX10.

here some lists:

acer aspire 5920 (dx10 gpu)
hp pavilion dv6205 (go7400 series)
asus a8sc (dx10 gpu)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the above model doesnt come with 2gb ram, but you can add it later. ram nowadays not expensive, should be enough for your budget.

after doin some survey, i hv found several laptop dat receive some recommendation from ppl in this forum

hp dv2201
hp dv6205
benq r55
benq s73g
asus g1

im gonna use it 4 gaming, multitasking w/ good heat management..can y'all tell me the price of all the laptop listed above bcoz my budget is <rm4000..so which one do u recommend?? 

thx in advance

I think cannot recommend S41 as it is not available. Later they say okay i want to buy now, then you have to fly to taiwan to get it hahaahahaa..

hey guys..i've been looking for ASUS W7S...may i noe anybody try on dis b4???trying to get more info and review coz kinda like dat model but da price abit pricey for me hehe...need sifu's opinion here guys...

beside dat got any laptops wif intel processor wif T7700 wif CPU speed 2.4 GHz and 800 buss speed and 4 MB cache size???

Can you get any info on the NEC Versa E6310/E6300? Like, availability and most important, pricing?

I'm not just asking John_jay here...... in order to keep it within the sales thread guidelines.....

Just asking if anyone in Low Yat has any idea on this laptop.......

Hi all, need your recommendation here:

I have RM8K to spend on new notebook.

Recommend me the fastest, lightest and loaded with practical features with that amount of budget.

My normal use are surfing and office works.

Thanks in advance

Benq S41 or Acer 5920G???
After S41 ungraded to 2gb+vista premium, the price is almost the same as Acer 5920G, the specs almost the same, Acer wins little bit with the 160gb hd  while S41 onli 120gb...Which is better???Which one more reliable ???    

With that amount of budget, the MacBookPro... No question about it, the sleekest, fastest, lightest laptop at that price range... The 15 incher is listed at RM7,499, use the extra money to get Windows so that you can use both OSX and Windows (if you need it)...

Besides, you'll be free from viruses in OSX... I personally like dealing with them critters, but I don't think many people share my sentiments...

Newbies here,can anyone confirm with me are those v3500 are santa rosa platform? Vista or XP,which one better.saw one V3514 and loveit.
Is it a good buy?Need some input B4 decide.Thanks.

John, can you mention the price of other Benq notebooks that is light (below 2 kg with battery) and fast (1.6 Ghz above)

Thanks alot for the recommendations. I've changed my mind about not getting Vista. The ACER 5920G seems to have just about everything I want - although the usability of the laptop is questionable and I can only get 1280x800 resolution (but not a big deal).

Any idea how much it's selling for currently?

Also, let's say between ASUS G1S and ACER 5920G which one is more worth the price? (yes, I know.. I've raised my budget to < 7k)

Some say ACER has better performance, and others tell me that ACER has many problems. Not too sure who is right or wrong

Can you please explain further? What do you mean by better quality? The performance is better quality or the laptop material is better quality? Any overheating problems?

going to buy a lappy soon for programming and internet surfing use..

How about compaq v3252AU? izizt RM 1999 ??
but i saw some thread here said that hp reduce the price to RM 1799 oredi?

hope any 1 can provide me more details about this model or other lappy is within this price range.. thanks

John the RM3399 version S31 is with wat spec?
Becoz from the Benq website, there are 2 types? one is S31VW-308 another  V07.

all V3500 models are santa rosa platform... but they are not Centrino branded... Its a good buy, but not sure how performance wise good o not?! coz its new platform, new proc, new models...
