QUOTE(bladegirl @ Jun 17 2007, 05:52 PM) Hello. I'm looking to buy a new laptop soon and would like some recommendations. there are few santa rosa models coming up... i think asus, benq, acer and also hp. But your budget is pretty much limits your options. U need to increse your budget if u were to get a good gpu, as u gonna use for HIGH END gaming.My preferences: Processor: C2D Screen: 15"++ (17" widescreen preferred) O/S: Windows XP Memory: 2Gb DDRII HDD: 80Gb++ Other requirements: good gfx card, at least 4 USB2.0 ports, wifi, ethernet Optional: Firewire and bluetooth would be nice ^^ and maybe a good sound card Purpose: PC gaming (~high end) and multimedia editing. Weight is not a big issue, neither is battery life - and I would like the laptop to NOT overheat too often. Budget: RM 3000 - 5000 I don't expect the specs to fit exactly  so if you know anything similar to what I want, please suggest also.Hope to hear a reply from here soon!! Thanks!! Benq S41 ACER 5920G ASUS A8Sc ASUS F3Sc HP Pavilion dv6500 the first 3 is well within ur budget, the last 2 is off ur budget. And all comes with Windows Vista, but u can always downgrade... n late reinstall if u wanna use Vista. The GPU are Nvidia 8xxx dx10 compatible. [edit]forget to mention.... 17" is just unimaginable with your budget not even with Dell. 15" is the max u can get... This post has been edited by cruel_boy: Jun 18 2007, 12:11 PM |

QUOTE(nice3z @ Jun 20 2007, 02:26 PM) Acer is *bad*  , my 8204 is decoloring, keyboard button start to 'uneven' just slightly over a year, considering the price I paid, just not worth it. Luckily its performance is good. |

QUOTE(adriankhoo153 @ Jun 20 2007, 11:28 PM) 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!  |
