Yeah it's over already. I bought the XPS M1210 with the FREE upgrade to 2GB RAM... plus RM88 for DVDRW = RM3787.

Today the DELL promotion for XPS M1210 is FREE UPGRADE to WXGA + webcam and FREE upgrade to DVDRW. Isn't this a better deal??? RAM I can buy outside.

Actually, I can buy a webcam outside too. Maybe it's even better considering I can move it around and share it with my other comps.

Is it better to have a fixed webcam or a detachable one??

seems interesting. RM1799, should be ok for me too . r u using XP or vista?

yes, it is better than nvidia igp.
because:

x3100(Crestline):
pixel shader: 8
vertex shader: 1
core speed: 667

while...

go6100(C51MV):
pixel shader: 2
vertex shader: 1
core speed: 425

to add more, the new processor of intel is much more better than amd. that certainly boost the intel new igp of course.

With your budget....wait for the Asus santa rosa platform gaming laptop
it's might cost abt 7k

Thanks for the info... I wonder how much is the lowest spec freedos of santa rosa model. My budget for coming laptop only Rm3k max.

I think Hp compaq ll release ur budget santa rosa model kua. Wait till mid of June 1st.
