I was thinking of:

1) Compaq F731AU - AMD TURION 64 X2 DUAL-CORE MOBILE RL58 (1.9GHZ), 512MB DDR2, 120 GB HDD, 15.4" TFT, DVDRW, WIFI, DOS

2) Compaq C714TU - INTEL PENTIUM DUAL CORE T2310 (1.46 GHZ), 512MB DDR2, 120GB HDD, 15.4" TFT, DVDRW, WIFI, DOS

3) Acer Aspire 4520-500512Mi - AMD TURION 64 X2 TL60 (2.0GHZ, 2X 512KB L2 CACHE), 14.1" WXGA(1280 X 800 PIXEL RESO), 512MB DDR2, 120HDD, WIFI, DOS

... and any other suggestions cox need to get it in this PC fair and windows buy together or seperate from dealers is cheaper?

bro, how about you create another thread to post your topic....btw, i'll pick no 2

better go for amd la..compaq design is slim and don't expect your notebook to cooler if using intel.

oh ya the price is

1) 1799

2) & 3) 1999

well... TheXxBestxX... will AMD consume more power/energy/battery and provides less performance as compared to the above 3 menitoned notebooks?

it is similar to core duo by intel rite...

Added on December 7, 2007, 8:27 pmand AMD for TL58 or TL 60 looking at the difference is TL 58 Acer and TL 60 Compaq where it's RM200 more.... but processor is 0.1GHZ higher.... but acer has webcam...

go for compaq v series... not bad.. im using v3k now

expensive lah...

i using compaq v3k series also...not expensive la...only 1999.

Toshiba model good or not ?

who say so...i using AMD and the battery even last longer bcause of the amd technology called cool n quiet feature. it just same with intel speed step technology.

about the TL58 and TL60 is because TL60 is the new core technology or new stepping so it bit expensive. i telling u, i using TL58 right now and HALO game can run without any lagg....what u want more from laptop?

well...

looks like the TL58 under, 1) Compaq F731AU - AMD TURION 64 X2 DUAL-CORE MOBILE RL58 (1.9GHZ), 512MB DDR2, 120 GB HDD, 15.4" TFT, DVDRW, WIFI, DOS, is more preferable than, 3) Acer Aspire 4520-500512Mi - AMD TURION 64 X2 TL60 (2.0GHZ, 2X 512KB L2 CACHE), 14.1" WXGA(1280 X 800 PIXEL RESO), 512MB DDR2, 120HDD, WIFI, DOS lah rite....

any further comments?

heard that the Compaq F731AU is experiencing some driver incompatibility problem with windows vista or something... can someone verify this?

dont know but i think u should get Compaq Presario V3614AU. only RM 1999...support fully window vista if u want vista.

looks good...

comes with vista bulded?

nope, but it still a great bargain

Compaq F731AU

Vostro... hahaa

i think worth with core2 duo and extra 1.5 gig of ram. i bought mine last month.

Vostro.. mag alloy chassis... rock solid!

Compaq Presario F731AU ..find the driver as it was scattered around the internet. maybe ask the seller provide you with one cd. then your problem will be settle with Rm200 lesser.

well.... finally...

Really aa... Never heard of that. Any proof?

ASUS EEE is under ur budget

Added on December 13, 2007, 6:27 pmcompaq is scratch-proof

This post has been edited by onimusha_m16: Dec 13 2007, 06:27 PM

a dual core for less than 1.5k?? amazing

well u guyz wanna join me for dual core 1.6 then

(ASUS EEE is under ur budget) - well what's the model?

Correct me if I am wrong. I think although Core duo or Core 2 duo are efficient than AMD turion but AMD clock speed are far higher than those recently released low end core duo / core 2 duo. I find some benchmark result and I find that Core 2 Duo is maximum 30% faster than Turion. So I think buying those cheaper AMD Compaq is better than buying more expensive Intel Compaq

wonder they have AMD package ?

Rm1399 ? so good price ar? Why I only found RM1999 price for same model and spec? Where to get the price? advice pls.

yo, im oso interested to get 1 laptop below 2k by installment
pls pm me the detail thanks
