thanks for the reply , im not buying in Australia but here that is but to be used most likely in the UK (so yes, warranty, policies, customer service and service centers do matter) Some say Asus service centers are non-existent in the UK (correct me if im wrong tho) and that perhaps sounds like choosing the lessor of two evils between asus and dell seeing that a substantial amount of ppl complain about the service and products of dell.

things in order that i place an importance in this order::

#1 - Best performance for the value of around RM5k plus minus but no more than 6k. (proc, graphics card and ram my piority)

#2 - Warranty, after market services etc..

#3 - Build quality & screen

#4 - Aesthetics, weight and form factor. (last on the list, not top priority but gives an edge)

although battery life is important, im mostly looking to plug this in most of the time as a desktop replacement.

thanks again. Do keep them coming, new techs or news of new releases of new laptops, upgrades to current line-up (eg. the penryn t9000 series intel proc in laptops and the new 9500 nvidia card) , or other laptops to consider .. so far in the battle of the 2 in my narrowed down list is the DELL XPS 1530 vs ASUS M51sn

count me in also...i also going to use it in UK and dunno what brand is best in UK...

Compaq Presario F700 series
is it good? can it support game like FIFA, C&C and oblivion?

can anyone tell me which processor for laptop is good? AMD or Intel??

wat's the pros and cons for AMD and Intel?

FUJITSU V5535
the specs :


any comments?
price is rm1999. worth it?

It's ok if you don't intend to play games.

following up, i found another contender... the Acer Aspire 6290 & 8290 (Blue Gemstone) how much are these 2 laptops and how do they fare compared to the Asus and XPS ? The Acer after sales service + warranty any good ? thanks!

From what i've heard, Acer has various prob for it's previous model...i'm nt sure bout da gemstone series
As for Dell's aftersales support....it's considered as the best among the dealer in m'sia...vry fast, if lucky can get free upgrades...

i wonder why u wanna choose acer since there are lots of branded notebook in the market wif affordable price nowadays ....

asus , dell , hp

if dell is the best after sales in msia how about in UK ? the free upgrades are from the authorized dell retailers or from resellers ?

the new acer spec look good and they look nice as well... not sure about the price although i don't have a good perception of ACER branding for some reason i can't explain, more of a vibe and what ppl like u as well tell me. any explanation may help. Perhaps this one may be a good turn for the better? let me link the acer gemstone for you guys to see, it does look quite pretty and with really awesome specs to boot although at what price i do not know, unless perhaps someone can enlighten us =]


LINK - Acer Gemstone BLue

Check it out and let me know what you guys think. I like the fact that this laptop and the asus one has a NUMPAD too which is really helpful for me =P

i wanna ask the pro sumthing....between Asus m51Sn n ThinkPad T61...which 1 more suitable for gaming and which 1 more reliable...??

what do you guys think about F762AU compaq presario eh?? is there any problems with this??

can tell me pros and cons??

For me i will choose HP DV9702EA since it has discrete graphic card and the specs are better than compaq.What is your budget?

money is not considered by my bos...


wat she wan is around 3500 to 4000 coz she dunno so much bout computer


thanks

With that kind of budget, you can get a better specs with Dell Inspiron or Dell Vostro. For example, I bought my Inspiron 1420 for less than RM4000.
