I'm looking for a notebook that range price is below than Rm 2950. The problem I had is I need :

1) Win XP Pro or Win Vista Home Premium (Original) but FreeDos also can if better ..
2) Whether to take the Core 2 duo T5300/T5500 or Turion X2 TL-56 ...
3) Even there are fastest Intel proc option, I heard that there are problem with the Intel Integrated graphic (950 GM) that low performance when playing games rather than nVidia/Ati graphic ..

-----------------------------------------------------------------

What in my mind :

1. Brand - Dell, Compaq, or Acer

2. Budget - below Rm 2950

3. Specs - Core 2 duo T5300/T5500 or Turion X2 TL-56

4. Size - Don't care

-----------------------------------------------------------------

What have I done in this few weeks :

Dell - I've visiting the Dell website because it can be customised, but this week the offer were include with free Targus webcam that not in my list and I didn't need it (I know that they still charge the price Rm 87 ) and it over my budget ....

Compaq - Compaq can't customised but I think I'll wait until 1 june to wait if there are new model .. I can get the free DOS version but compared to the Dell price, Dell give more better option ..

Acer - Acer didn't have AMD Turion option that better than Compaq ..

So, until know it's hard for me to choose ..

It have been 2 weeks since I want to buy it ... but I'm become confused since I only have limited budget ..

Anyone can help to give me any solution? Or perhaps I should wait a little more ..

Thank you ..

I'm customised it in the Dell website .. the spec is :

For the Q520504 - Upgrade Proc to TL-56, Battery 6-cells, Vista Premium, Hard Drive Partition, and Wide Screen with true life ..

For the Q520510 - Change HardDrive Partition, and upgrade Wide Screen with True Life ..

I'm make it to the limit of my budget that's why the price is difference .. and confused what kind of laptop is better ..

TQ

Wah .. some comparation from a nice forummer... so from your point of view and experience, core duo (not core 2 duo right?) more faster than 1.8 ghz Turion ..

Tq for sharing, you help a lot ....

More recommendation please ..

Hope tomorrow will come a new price list ... June should be a better day ..

P/s: 3 weeks already still didn't bought any ...

depend on the spec and the price you bought ..

Today promotion in Dell is amazing .. Free Delivery and Free Upgrade on processor .. . 3 days only ...

P/s: But I wonder what is the next promotion after Monday, more surprise?
