hello.... recently i wanna buy a laptop.... n im totally a noooob....
my budget is around 4k....
im goin to further ma edu in overseas, aussie[undergraduate : degree in commerce]. so plz gv me sum advice bout those software, i have no idea.
im a kinda heavy user....
and owayz carry around...
due to study overseas.. i owiz concern bout after sales service in overseas
however, i dun play those online gamez. however, i will watch my moviez n series.... cause therez the only stuff i will normally do durin my free time..
frenly use
so... wut shud i do n concern bout when buying a laptop??
for motherboard... which will be better??
RAM type... i have heard sdram, ddr, ddr2... but i have no idea....
cpu speed... cpu type...
battery life!!! im a heavy user!
cooling sys....
anymore??
ARGGGGHH... drivin me crazy.... i have to buy 1!!! cause im goin to aussie by mid of feb......
can any1 give sum specific model with those points stated above...
the their price oso...
i have reli no idea... im a com idiot...
thaaaaanksss a lot!!! [

err... ppl dun usually go n ask wat motherboard... RAm type for all the modern lappy now always comes in DDR2
So basically just look at the amount of memory, the processing speed... for both of these, the higher de better. Generally it's Intel C2D > AMD TURION 64 x2 => Intel Dual Core. This is just the general comparison or perhaps my opinion but nonetheless the processing speed is also of ur concern in determining how good it is. i'm not really sure which hav better battery life and better cooling. coz i have not any 1st hand experience at
other machines.
I would suggest getting HP or Dell, i'm not sure if dell cover warranty overseas.

Finally, i've got my DV2715tx
overall design is good, but after 2 days of using i realise a few minor problem
1. its heat problem
even under normal usage, the laptop get heat up fast, but not really bad if u dont bother to touch the underside of the laptop to often
2.Battery Life
even tho it is a norm for laptop to have a battery life of 2+ hour, but i actually expect more,and in the brochure the put up to 4hour, so i think thats for the 12-lit ion battery that is availeble as acc.!!
im juz dissapointed at this two thing...other part of the laptop funtion as i wanted and sometime even batter..
altez lancing speak is damm good, their 1.3mp webcam is perfect and clear!
and i cant wait to bring it to the nearest starbuck to show off!!
haha!!
I think if they say 4 hours is standby all the time. It also depends on ur usage. If u use it for gaming, the battery life will decrease significantly. once again, It all depends on ur usage... haha
