we can conclude that the cheapest Santa Rosa will be at 3.8k from Dell (3 year warranty, 1.8Ghz(800), vista business,512 ram, 60GB) wireless a/g/n add RM14.
You can get it on 21 May or after.

Is there any HP that has an 8600GT graphics card somewhere around the RM5000 price line?

I saw the dv2500 at the roadshow in 1Utama and not really impressed by the specs. Even the dv6500 only comes with a GS....

Oh yeah.... hopefully around 15" too..... the 17" dv9500 is out of my budget and it's waaaaaaaaaay too big.

I think it is not fully release all the model, by the time you can get it, you will have the option with acer,asus,benq,toshiba,dell,lenovo etc... the list will goes on and on.

Hey guys is this new model Compaq V3418AU(amd) recommended?? I'm getting a lappie for adobe activities(PS, Illus), 3d(Maya) and some light gaming(Starcraft2 would be light right???). Budget below 3.5k. Or is there any better recommendation?
*
Starcraft 2 play alone is good enough, play multiplayer or mass unit will kill you. Apparently it depend so much on physics that if you graphic card does not have adequate memory then you find it is extreme lag. Try playing warcraft3 on 6vs6 map full unit you will lag or not. If you pass this one your are 50% from able to play starcraft 2 at the best game experience ever.

ps:warcraft3 is i would assume 1/3 of starcraft2 in term of processing power at mass unit. warcraft3 does not have the physics involved, so i can only assume that starcraft2 will be a major one based on the interview with Blizzard staff of course.

Well compare Gemstone to Asus G1s, surely Asus is more suprior in sense of performance, graphic, resolution and weigth. Performance higher Processor/Ram. Graphic memory is using DDR3 on Asus while Acer is still DDR2, Resolution on Asus is much higher. Acer is 3.16kg to be exact with batt on very heavy oh for BF to carry as well.

I just got to know that my fren is a manager there. Not the owner of the shop. Haha. He is the top seller there who sell about 1500 unit of notebook each month doing exporting. Fuh...

Played with Gemstone today at his shop. Only arrive today afternoon according to him. Wow, i must say i am impress with the Vista score. 4.7 for a notebook that only cost Rm4499. (after discount can get Rm4299). The graphic performace score an impressive 5.2! This acer is a bargain running Santa Rosa with Geforce 8600 with directx 10. Then summore subwoofer lagi. Impressive performance with super cheap value! thumbup.gif

cannot trusth Vista score. not so detail. hahaa.
But it is good to hear that there is a gemstone on the shore of malaysia. hahaaa. smile.gif
I can't wait to see the product myself.

Acer Aspire 5920G how much is this!!! Urgent!!!!!

haha i thought you don't want Acer, the highest performance and graphic wise still is Asus G1s. Second at this moment is Acer Gemstone. I think next one will HP HDX if it ever come to malaysia shore.

QUOTE(~Rogue~ @ Jun 22 2007, 09:42 AM)

I'm actually planning for a PC, but many reasons make me changed my mid to have a laptop. But a laptop can suit my use for work (graphic and programming), and multimedia (video authoring, audio authoring and Games) ... really hard to find.

Until I go buy an issue of MAXIT and spot the Asus G1 and G2. Both performance comes very close, just that G2 have a larger scenn. But I think G1 is acceptable.

But when I check around for proce tag... I think I wanna go jump sea. It nearly RM7K and it is way to high... T_T Unless there are some fortune drop on my head...

what to do it is a luxury to have a laptop.

i think more suitable either BenQ S41, if need slightly more power/storage then gemstone will fill up pretty well. At this moment that is the two laptops that is fulfill your requirement.

? Maybe someone post some mistaken info on the web ... argh bummer  sweat.gif  ... then the spec might m\just around S41 ... Hmm, S41 design better. (I DO NOT like white colour).

Just hope such spec like S41 able to suit my havy multitasking task. Normally I run WMP (play music) while I doing my web sork with Adobe GoLive CS2 and Adobe Photoshop CS2. Sometime running PS and After Effect along. My main working softwares are Adobe, which are very power hungry stuff.

And I also run PS2 Emulator (PCSX2), I hope such spec can run FFX and X2 with much playable framerate around 40fps...

you need more Ram i tell you. but still good processor need to be fsat as well when you do the processing. I still believe 2.0ghz is just nice, but still not the best. I think you can live with Acer, white colour is just the inside outside still black. if money is an issue you have to get BenQ S41. FYI chick love white. nod.gif

"I hate white colour" And that's why my stuff all in black. And almost all works I do are in black/dark colour...

I much like S41 compare to that one. Any other good recommendation from other names such as Asus? No need to mention G1 and G2... they make me jump sea only... ><

i am sorry to say currently our market is very bleak. There is no other brand that suite you, Other spec i think you will take it throw to the sea.
