It's an Inspiron 6400 replacement model, confirm released in Malaysia (the Dell factory is over here, isn't it?)... The only caveat is when... sweat.gif

But IMHO, the best thing about Dells is it's warranty... If you KNOW you can take care of your computers during and after the end of the warranty period (2 years for Asus), take the G1S... It's got superior build quality... icon_rolleyes.gif

yeah ^ ^ G1s rockz ,
if u hv higher budget .. maybe a G2s will do ^ ^

Dell factory is in Malaysia and yet they don't release all their models here.. shouldn't we be the first to get the new models since they're being manufactured here? tongue.gif

Anyway, yep. Warranties are not really a big concern for me. 2 years warranty is more than enough  thumbup.gif although if Dell's new inspiron > G1s then I might consider it. However the current Dell inspirons are just.. not very inspiring tongue.gif
G2s has 17" screen - looks yummy. But what's the current price difference between G1s and G2s? I can push my budget - but then I'll have to save an extra month's salary before buying it sad.gif

Right now quite keen on the G1s.

G2s is selling RM 7988 ^ ^

You're absolutely right smile.gif The laptop I'm getting WILL be sitting on a desk most of the time - but there are times when I need to carry it with me for work/LAN party/out-of-town purposes.

I haven't yet seen many people owning a G2s so I'm not too sure about it. I also can't seem to find a price list for the G2s? And how is the graphics quality? Some say it is slightly lower than the G1s (Nvidia Geforce vs ATI Radeon?) but if there isn't much of a difference then perhaps.
*
if i not mistake ..
both G1s n G2s is the same specs oni the size diff ^ ^ isn't it ?

ah its ok, so is G1s also has 8600M GT too? If that's the case, like i said, it is between weight and screen.

I own something else. Its on my siggy. Much much more sweeter than G1s/G2s if u asked me. However, like i said, Asus impressed me. I might go for Asus for my next mobile system (that would be like 3-4 years from now).

John Jay, reserve a G10s for me in 4 years to come tongue.gif .

haha take note already tongue.gif

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"..)

but alienware i dont can find service centre here isn't it ?

I myself am planning to get a G1s or G2s (hopefully a G2s lol). Although if I wanted a 14" screen I would've gone for the Benq S41. Have heard alot of good reviews about it - but 14" is just not as fun as a 17" tongue.gif

The Acer Gemstone aka Aspire 5920G caught my eye as well but more people seem to vote for the ASUS G1s in terms of laptop quality.

I just got to know that my fren is a manager there. Not the owner of the shop. Haha. He is the top seller there who sell about 1500 unit of notebook each month doing exporting. Fuh...

Played with Gemstone today at his shop. Only arrive today afternoon according to him. Wow, i must say i am impress with the Vista score. 4.7 for a notebook that only cost Rm4499. (after discount can get Rm4299). The graphic performace score an impressive 5.2! This acer is a bargain running Santa Rosa with Geforce 8600 with directx 10. Then summore subwoofer lagi. Impressive performance with super cheap value! thumbup.gif

Waah,  i thought i can easily decide what laptop to buy. After brwosing through this forum, now i am more confused.

Was considering Lenovo T61, i discovered the battery is protruding at the back !...cancelled

Then ASUS A8jr...no finger print...worry about someone sneeking into my XXX files :-).....also cancelled.

Then Macbook Pro.....too precious for my "outdoor" use
Then Sony Sz....too fragile , an issue of build quality as many say.
OKAY NOW...i'm considering Satelite M200 E412  or M100-2111E.

Pls advise me which one between the two. Assuming i upgrade both unit with 2 GB RAM , Which one offer the best PERFORMANCE ?

Which of the 2 units offer better upgradability for Graphics and Processing Power .

Design wise, which looks better ?

Btw, it is difficult to have reviews on both of these models. Hope forumers can give feedbacks on the model mentioned ?

Thanks guys. If nothing negative, i will shoot to Lowyatt and get one.

JOHN !, any good price and offering for this model or not ?

Regards.

Anyway John, where in Lowyat your outlet lar ?
