hi guys,
My MAX budget is rm2100 and i need to use it for:
1. programming  (java-related framework) (top priority)
2. some spreadsheet, documents etc
3. internet. i don't play games on notebook.
4. Win XP and Linux only. i don't need vista.

That's all. I'm quite confused about the processors coz based on my research, for my budget, it's only limited to AMD Turion and Intel Core Duo. I have no any idea which 1 suits my specs better as my main concern is to do my programming work.
Well, in terms of RAM, 1GB would be great but current specs mostly are 512MB.
In terms of looks, I would prefer the lame black business looks like the Compaq rather than Acer Inspire series. But, this is not my main concern at the moment.

Based on my research:
Possible models are as follows:
Compaq Presario V3614AU,
Compaq Presario C714TU,
Compaq Presario C738TU,
Compaq Presario F731AU,
Compaq Presario V3658TU,
Acer Aspire 4520,
Acer Aspire 4710,
Acer Aspire 4710z,
Lenovo G400.

Any recommendation guys?

1. Brand - any will do
2. Budget - cheap one, RM2500-RM3000
3. Specs - C2D, at least 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, integrated GC if possible, bluetooth, wifi etc
4. Size - any size will do
OK, this laptop is for normal use, internet surfing, microsoft office, programming, music and movies, I would like to have a laptop that has a long battery life and less heat since I would like to on for 24hour, if possible I wan 2-3years warranty for the laptop.

So any suggestion? I am noob in laptop!

I quite like the look of Sony VAIO!  Got many many color choice!  It has very polished look and can kind of *show off* hehe 
Very good suggestion,
what does "touble free" means?  Why most notebooks not so trouble free??  What are the troubles that I might face?

I went to Austin page, that is marvellous.

Although the look is not so alluring, but as what the review says, it is a really good business use notebook.
X60 Retailing at RM7488, Austin is selling at RM4299 for a used but 99.99% like new.

X61 retailing at RM6788, and he is selling brand new at RM4999.

Very good deal huh??

hi there
if im going to buy a new laptop and is running on windows vista business, do u think 1gb ram is enough?
it can actually be upgraded to 2gb but that's the max...im not sure if 2gb is even enough anot since i heard vista will take up 1gb memory...
thanks for da advice

hey guys,

I wanna some questions..

What's the best acer or dell laptop for budget under RM3000 and below?

I want a laptop that easy to carry anywhere, can play pes2008 and can play movies nicely.. and of course the spreadsheet works.. the wireless connectivity must be good..

plz help.. Maybe I buy tomorrow

,Jan 23 2008, 01:04 AM]i'm looking for a laptop for the below few requirement,what i need is more or less like a Compaq Presario V3755TU which priced at Rm2799.Main purpose is i wanted to go Australia for my study there for 3year plus maybe working there..i hope to get something that can be used for another 4year like that which is durable enough not to get spoil.

normally my application usage is quite light no hardcore gaming just to do studies project presentation those.

i dont know why,but i prefer a Core 2 Duo since i dont want it to get outdated that fast if i ever require more from the laptop(any opinion on this?) screen 14.1"

budget around Rm2000-Rm3000 but prefer to be below Rm2800 to get a deal.

main concern is the speed(i think RAM),dont want laggish and hang in system so much,maybe a 1GB ram or if its come with 512mb then i'll upgrade it myself
another is the HDD prefer to get as much as i could in this budget,currently the one i thinking about is 160gb as in the Compaq V3755TU but hope i can get something cheaper if theres a model that sells cheaper with this requirement.

also i concern about the warranty,hope it covers till Australia,maybe i should get one with a licensed Windows XP since i dont know how strict they are concern in Australia about illegal stuff. 
last thing,wants it to comes with a webcam.so basically i want something better deal than V3755TU or an alternative to it.

thanks in advance,hope you guys can give me some opinion

extra: i dont know how about the brand and stuffs,for me i want a reliable one,i tried to look for acer but from my experience on their old model is really no good,many things get spoil and most ppl will say their quality not so good,i dont know about their newer model, any comment about ACER? i also dont wan dell.
because on my budget i think the best suit the spec would be HP Compaq.I also have doubt toward choosing the processor if theres better deal but with this processor(AMDX2)(i think can ignore the proc part,is just so messy for me to choose one please help me)
