Wait a minute....it isn't released yet?

I thought that the article on the main page said they were already available in Malaysia?

BTW, could anyone recommend me a laptop? Budget, RM2000-3500.
Processor: C2D series.
It must be capable of running Vista *satisfactorily*, and have a dedicated graphics card.
Which brand(s)? Any brand is preferred, just make sure that it's reliable.

Oh, and I don't want the Windows license - knock it off. I'd be perfectly happy with FreeDOS or Linux on it.

I'm going to KL in a few days - so I might as well as look for one there.

Added on May 20, 2007, 4:50 pmme n beyond430 using it ^^, if compare da specs vs price with others brands like acer, dell...sure lose ler if ur picking asus, ur paying for its quality

a8jr comes with vista, but got 1 prob, cos only comes with 512 mb ram, so u gota + another 512mb ram to make it 1g for vista...or better if make it 2g
ram are cheap nowadays

AFAIK, it hard to find a C2D proc with dedicated GF within that budget. HP Pavilion 6203TX C2D proc with nVIDIA 7400 is RM5700.
Or try compaq model. AMD turion x2 with nVIDIA 6150. it's a dual core too

HP dv6227 oso can .. but the price is RM 3999 ^ ^

Hi,

looking for a note book. would appreciate comment and advice.

Some brand in mind.

Compaq Presario V3308TU
FTEC W2 series

What about Thinkpad R60 & ASUS A8M? A friend recommended ASUS A8M.

Budget - RM2.5k to 3.3k

Spec
Most prob Intel Core Duo or Core 2 Duo.
What's the diff between Core Duo and Core 2 Duo (other then the price)

What abt AMD Turion 64 x 2?

The general rule is, avoid Ftec no matter what your budget is.

Kindly add what will you be using your laptop for, as that might help in choosing which laptop that suits you

dont choose ftec no matter wht .....
not worth at all ^ ^
Asus A8M should be ok 4 u ... ^ ^

haha 2G just like us ,
ram price super cheap if compare b4 PC fair..

Added on May 20, 2007, 7:43 pmsome old model mayb can find this specs within 3500...
how about Benq S73g or R55, still available..? those fulfill ur req..

This post has been edited by beyond430: May 20 2007, 07:43 PM

ya .. now ram very cheap already .. ^ ^
jz get a 2gb ^ ^

hi john_jay2,

wana ask, for Acer Aspire 9424WSMi, the laptop originally come with 2 X 512MB RAM or 1 X 1GB RAM?

Thanks!

Ah. Thanks for all the recommendations, guys.

I'm leaning on the BenQ S73G or R55 - even if I have to increase the budget by RM499 to do it. (RM 299 for the R55, actually)

Unless the Santa Rosa-based laptops come soon....

BTW, I'm in KL from the 3rd till the 8th of June. Gonna look for the laptops then.

Which is better? Kingston or TwinMos ram?

Any advice?
