Oh yeah.. forgot about that post.
Well, for Inspiron 1420 the PC Fair promotion they are having now seems like a good buy.

What u all think about HP Pavillion TX2032AU

AMD ATHLON 1.9GHz 512KB L2Cache
2gigRAM
160gig Hdisk
NVIDIA GeForce 6150(UMA/shared 64MBGraphic)

can anybody help me...giv comment about it??

ello ...anybody

Low specs. Suitable for normal activities like word processing, play minesweeper and such. Definitely, you won't be able to play Crysis.

NVIDIA GeForce 6150 is an integrated GPU which uses system main memory as video memory (shared memory): http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForc...150.6945.0.html

owh...hmm...the salesperson must be cheating me then...haha..thanks for sharing that information....


haha..true true...i have a 'slight' preference to whatever that's pink in color...hee....

and btw, does the dell support online games? and does compaq have extended warranty too?

Which online games: Flash-based or online game support for game titles from EA, etc? Of course, all decent laptops with a good CPU and a good GPU can play online games.

All branded ICT items has an option for extended warranty. It is just that you need to ask and pay for it. Even, my Canon camera has an extended warranty. Get the idea?

games like audition, highstreet5 and o2jam...i guess those are online game support rite?
hmm...i see...

Is it possible for the specs of a notebook offered in PCFair to be different from those on the Net?

Found from the net:
Notebook: Asus X51RProcessor: Intel Celeron M 520 (1600 MHz)Graphics adapter: ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 (128 MB)Display: 15.4 inch 16:10 (1280x800 pixels)Weight: 2.7 kg 80Gb HDD

PcFair
Intel duo Core T2370-1.73Ghz with ATI X1100 256MB graphics card, 200gb HDD

any udang di sebalik mee? but I've seen this ASUS model being sold at a few stalls in pcfair, not only one particular stall. And the specs of this model for all the stalls are same.

It is possible for Asus to offer some different configurations for Asus X51R at a different price (same like Dell's). You need to check Asus website if you have doubts.

in the long run, the amd will suits me better?
cause gonna use it for at least 3/4 years

thanks!

It all depends on what you are going to do with your laptop and how good you are taking care of it...

For example: DON'T charge your battery when it is HOT or the laptop is HOT or the environment is HOT. In Dell laptops, the battery is hot if the battery indicator light flashes alternately blue and amber. It will reduce your battery life. So, there is a reason why; if you want to use your laptop for quite a long time, it is better to remove your battery and use your AC adapter to power up your laptop. It is the same like you cannot change the battery water in your car's wet-battery when the car's engine environment area is still hot.

i know both models are budget models and cant be compared with most of the pros' laptop here. hehe
but i just wanna compare head to head between this two. cheers.
thanks for the replies

The Nvidia Geforce 7150M in the first option is outdated http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphi...List.844.0.html

Even, the ATI X1100 in the second option is also outdated. Sigh...

Both are Year 2006 GPUs.

If you don't trust the CPU benchmark results, you can sue the website...hehehe

Maybe, you can search for yourself, baby: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphi...List.844.0.html

Can anyone recommend a laptop with reasonable budget for working? I want to use the laptop for web and application development. So the laptop should support visual studio and flex development.

Anyone can help here?
