rm4500 (his budget) + rm200..

LoL..over budget.

I think the toshiba is ok for him la if he didnt use much on graphic or gaming. I would recommend BenQ s41 cos low budget(RM3999) + good graphic (8600GS).

Thank you all of u.... I'd make some research & found out that many ppl are waiting for the BenQ S41!! It's seems like very attractive with the good spec & price~!
However, any1 know about the warranty? They have a good after sales service?

If you stay in KL or penang should be worry free. u just need to call them and they ll send their guy come to ur door step to collect the laptop from you(just like dell do). rclxms.gif

oh ok..with Rm3.5k-4.5k can get toshiba or fujitsu lappie?then y still buy acer or hp since it's better?better specs?
*
Yes,u can get better spec with the same price if comparing fujitsu with other brand. Within RM4.5k ,u still cant get a dedicate GPU laptop in fujitsu(eat brand & nice service) choice but HP, NEC, BenQ(more valueable) did...

I would recommend u take NEC(Japan No.1) If u prefer Japan's made laptop. rclxms.gif

* Kindly wait for 2~3weeks for the santa rosa laptop lauch. With ur budget, u can get a good performance santa rosa laptop alr.

which 1 is better? acer aspire 5920 or benq s41, any idea?
*
Overall spec are almost the same but Acer gemstone win in graphic cos better GPU ma and price also higher. BenQ win in smaller LCD size(14.1") while acer (15.4").

In design, benq s41 is solid built(like metal) while acer is "IN" & beauty(better look than HP pavilion lo & the logo also 3D 1) rclxms.gif .

- Comfortable to lug around once a while.
- 15' or above for the LCD

It should be able to run Photoshop, iTunes, Firefox with a few tabs opened, MSN Messenger and a P2P programme with minimal lag.

Yeah I too would recommend going to Garage Sales for a 2nd hand laptop.

http://forum.lowyat.net/NotebooksPDAs&Cameras <-- Go here

I think since this is for your son the specs aren't too important, as long as its average, but do try to find a laptop with build quality though since it's going to be 2nd hand.
*
Have to see condition also la. If RM1000 above for pentium 3/4 processor then better get new laptop since they r obselete,previous usage(hard use),out of warranty and slow performance. For me better get new laptop better for overall view.

Hi guys...

I am needing a laptop for college use. Erm..not really for gaming purpose.

budget would be about RM1.7k-2.2k
i found this from Dell.. it seems nice..

http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/p...bsd1&l=en&s=bsd

but i wish to get some feed back for Dell's Vostro product.. dunno if it's good

and the processor is AMD Turion dual core 64 x 2 bla bla TL-56.. is it good?
besides Dell.. any other recommendations are welcomed

-----

OR

maybe from garage sales ? eg this

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/282217/+500

i need some helps in this.. can the quality in garage sales be trusted ?
*
Besides vostro, i think compaq v3164au is the best competitor cos the better outlook design, better processor,Nice IGP GF7150(support many game well).
