yup just wait for pc fair... when pc fair come check online 1st. see which model u prefer and what are the promotions so that u r prepared when u go to pc fair
well as i said dell is the safest bet.
ok now the next thing is budget.. yup cannot get m13.. so only left with 1420.
graphic card. only choice is 8400GS . plz remember that this gc is prone to a lot of heat so u would need a good cooler pad. get cooler master about RM100. dont compromise on cooling.
processor if can go for T8300. dont take T5750 . at least must take T7250
ram 3gb i think enuf
now the biggest problem.. Warranty...i hated dell when they removed the limited warranty and force ppl to take the complete cover.. now the warranty is so expensive.... but since u take dell because of their service then i think u have to upgrade the warranty which makes it way above ur budget. sigh....remember to call dell as soon as possible to check the warranty availability at the place u r going overseas..

and also when customising ur choice sometimes it is better to customise the cheaper laptop. like inspiron 1420 if u customise the RM2599 to a higher spec it is cheaper then to customise the RM3499 to the same specs.
also bear in mind that if u customise inspiron up to RM4000 then u can get rebate of RM300 as of the current promotion.

and dont make rush decision .. it will oni make u regret ^ ^

with budget of 3k to 3.2k ....
shud i wait for centrino2 and puma?or just go with centrino ?or wait for the puma?
in dillema on laptop ..prefer asus with graphic like hd2400 at least....
or acer 4920g ?or benq s41? or dell laptop ?

waranty want at least 2year and above..

if want 2 years warranty ... choose asus ^ ^

ok.. to conclude.. i need a laptop with
high performance,
high internet access speed
with graphic card..
ATI graphic is normal 1?? it worst than geforce and NVIDIA?
vista home premium.
budget around 3-3.5k.
brand: dell
size: not a prob, the smaller the better.

But i hate 1420 coz my sis bought 1 and it got alot of problem. oh ya... i cant access to the customize page in dell... i dunno which way to go...
If i cant only go for 1420, i would rather buy ASUS. That's more worth it right? As u said "pc fair give more, thats for dell". If i buy ASUS in pc fair, will i get more? Anyway, when is the pc fair and where? Thzx

asus which model within that range?

Pls recommend me a asus or toshiba laptop.My budget is below Rm3.5k so what is the best model I can get for tht price range?

Asus F5VL20DPM about 3k also

asus z99 sr spec seem cool....i hope i can get it at kelantan -.- who know kelantan where got sales asus laptop

graphics got integarted and dedicated..
high internet access is only have to get intel N card. but it depends on the router. if router is for abg then n will act as abg. if router support n then ok lar
high performance at least 800FSB and core 2 duo and at least 3mbL2 cache (2mb also ok)
nvidia and geforce i tot is the same? it is called nvidia geforce...
ati has ATI Radeon
nvidia has nvidia geforce (correct me if i am wrong)
build in to motherboard is those like intel graphics x3100 and ati x2300 (again correct me if i am wrong) this build in is the most basic graphics (other words is the lowest)
dell inspiron 1420 my friend using no problem.. well at least until it got stolen (in uni)

no matter what wait until pc fair then see dell online.. see what warranty offers they can give.. if can give good warranty offers i think better u take dell
BEWARE when buying asus in pc fair. Make sure u get everything right. ESPECIALLY WARRANTY... and make SURE IT IS SEAL BOX THEY GIVE U. if not seal box go other booth... they will tell u they just only open it... dont believe... i think those huge booth in the main entrance should be ok... and get the company details.
Pc fair 1-3 august at KLCC

sony vaio CR better or Dell studio 15???

celest celest.... what is it that u want?
obviously dell studio 15 specs totally beat vaio cr
sony is style. thats why they say sonystyle.
if u ask build quality then maybe sony is better. but dont worry so much bout dell either coz dell has good service. upgrade dell warranty and u will not have regrets.
