Morning!
Ok I know this is kinda early.. or maybe too late to ask for suggestions. But yeah. I'm tryin to get my hands on a lappy that I would use mostly for programming and stuff. However, I would delicately prefer one that can suit the need of designing as well. I'm doing my degree studies for Computer Games Technology so yeah, I assume that I might need that little kick for the graphic support or whatsoever. Budget wise, well I hate to cap it but max RM3.5k. Personal Pref: No specific spec for processor I hate heat! So yay for any light-heated lappy? Screen size doesn't matter since I believe you guys wouldn't really recommend me uber small lappy. Fat finger alert! Any chance to get a decent reply on which models I should look through by daylight? Im thinking of dropping by @ PCFair later on today. Thanks a bunch guys! (Oh yeah, kick Acer out of the list) Edit: I just got thru some talks w my mum and yeah she allowed me to fork another RM1k.. so budget would be laying @ RM4.5k. Currently I'm looking at Asus' And Dell's.. or perhaps if they hv Gateway booth @ PCFair might drop by for a look. Anyone for any last dip? Gonna leave home for class in about 30mins and then drop by PCFair.. might get the lappy rightaway x( This post has been edited by Characuta: Apr 12 2008, 09:42 AM |

okie, abit tricky and troublesome over my case, as myself is a dell's service provider, but sometimes i doubt bout it's quality(i might be bias as i am work for dell and my works is all about fixing faulty/problematic dell's laptop and desktop at customer's site)
my option are : Sony Vaio CR35G T8100 aka C2D 2.10Ghz 200GB ATI Radeon X2300 128MB 3GB RAM (sales person special offer  )1 Year International Warranty (Services Center in MV) Free 1 Carry bag +1 Vaio Backpack + Keyboard Cover + VAIO Mouse Price : RM4488 versus Dell Inspiron 1420 T7250 aka C2D 2.0Ghz 250GB NVidia 8400m 128MB 3GB RAM 3 Years Complete Cover(As most services will be done by myself, which mean repair and services myself  )Free 1 Targus Travel Mouse + Free Upgrade to 3GB Ram + Free Upgrade HDD to 250GB Price : RM4235 other spec almost the same i actually plan to get a better quality laptop, i dun really care about services if i buy dell, i also gonna services by myself (as i most likely know what's the known issue for Inspiron 1420, but i got no idea about Sony VAIO, that's why i need the recommendation over here) what i need is good quality product > good quality services This post has been edited by aH wAi: Apr 12 2008, 04:50 PM |

i need a com for student use and perhaps fps gaming if possible,
it doesnt have to be light or small or have long batt life, it needs good wifi and internet stuff. and it needs some international warranty if possible my budget would be about 2- 3.5k. tell me if there are none in that range |
