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 ..
well, out of the 3 acer has the simplest design, which i think giv a more professional or serious look, unlike dell, *vomit, compaq, not bad, but too plastic feel.1) Win XP Pro or Win Vista Home Premium (Original) but FreeDos also can if better ..

i own both compaq and acer, v3225 and acer 5570, both are around 2.5k, and v3225 runs xp pro, while 5570 running vista premium, and my acer runs faster than compaq, the boot-up for the acer was incredibly fast, faster than my desktop, it takes less than 20 seconds to boot! (probably few startup to boot, unsure abt it) both have 1 gb ram, onli diff is mayb the 1.86ghz (coreduo only) on acer and 1.8ghz x2 turion on compaq.. so, i would recommend acer for better performance (from my experience) though the acer may run a little hotter on the bottom left, my cpu temp hovering ard 55 degree celcius under medium load. and one more thing, battery on the acer seems not bad, as normal usage with wireless gets me more or less 2:45hrs...
