My friend is looking for a new laptop.He's studying on graphic design.
Budget is so far not a problem.(He's rich,man)

1)Any brand will do
2)Preferably mobility graphic card.
3)3 or 4 GB ram.
4)Centrino 2(or any other platform which gives long lasting power)
5)250 GB or above HDD.
6)Not going to Apple.

Thanks for helping.

Since he's doing graphic design... I gather he doesn't mind a 17" laptop?
Since budget is not a problem, there's plenty of options.

guys quick question here...going to buy netbook 2moro and confuse which one to choose...the Acer AOA150 or the Lenovo S10...both spec is quite same except the screen size of course...

Hey guys, I've been planning to purchase a new laptop for the past few months but couldn't decide which one to get.
Been doing research on both AMD Turion 64 and Intel C2D, only find out that Intel has more cache than AMD with the same processor speed.
I'm not sure if I multi-task alot, but I always have more than 10 tabs on my Firefox, clicking here and there.
Budget is around RM3500 and I'm currently located in Australia, found 2 target, but need your help to compare both of them, thanks.

I personally prefer larger screen and the looks on the Toshiba, but the HP offer better processor, "Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 2.5GHz".
Is it that much better?
And I also hope to do a little gaming like COD and some latest game, doesn't really care about how good they going to look like, as long as it can be run smoothly.

Erm I know,but mind to give a specific model to me?It's easier to check.Thx

ASUS M50VM

Price at compuzone.
+Larger HDD
+Better CPU
+More memory

or this:

+eSata
+Blu-ray
+Better GPU

Just a brief comparison.
Btw if you want the best specs-to-price ratio you may want to have a look at the notebooks in xoticpc.com.

The only issue is warranty though, you'd have to ship it back to US. Shouldn't be a problem since your friend is rich.

edit:
Just rechecked, you can get global warranty for ASUS notebooks at xoticpc.com

I suggest the Acer AOA150 aka Aspire One. It's cheaper and has everything you could want from a netbook, it does have a weird design for the touchpad tho. It has a bigger keyboard than the Lenovo S10.

ASUS G series. see which one fits your needs more.



Dell. They would give you the best bang for your buck below RM3k. plus you get great customer support

Hi people.. I need some help again.. I still havent buy any laptop, and I missed the PC Fair last weekend. Anyways, can you help me to decide, which one I should go for - Fujitsu L1010 or Sony VAIO CGN-CS16G.

Both have about the same specs (Core 2 Duo P8400,NVIDIA GeForce 9300M, 2GB RAM, just that Fujitsu's RAM is DDR3 while VAIO's DDR2, and Fujitsu has the fingerprint recognition tech while VAIO doesnt have any) and both have very nice appearance and most important is the price is just about the same. They still have the PC Fair promo though, so I think I might need to get it by this week. I saw at the brochure that Sony is giving away a lot of freebies (including a bluetooth mouse and a walkman), while Fujitsu is giving only 2 freebies- backpack and mouse. I am having a hard time thinking which one should I go for. The thing I wanted most is not the freebies. I'm more to the specs offered. So, Fujitsu or Sony people? HELP me!

Anyways, I have another question, is ASUS really that good? I mean, there's another ASUS with a very pretty design - F6V and various colours - F8Vr.

hey.. can anyone recomend a laptop for me? my budget is rm3000.
what im looking for is something with a 14"-15" screen.
need to hav dedicated graphics, so whats the best i can get? the most im willing to go is rm3.2k only.. need help.. so many models, cant find anyth suitable..

Hello. Just want to make an enquiry.
Going to get the a new laptop soon and I was wondering what is the best available in the market. Maybe ill just be droooling because of the unattainable price but i would still like to know which is the best.
Thx
