THx for the quick reply rclxms.gif

Sorry should have made it clearer, I want 2 lappys but 1 is for my fren and the other is for me.
The 5-6k 1 is for me and its for me when I work offshore. So yes I travel a lot so 3kgs should be the limit? The cheaper 1 tongue.gif  is for my fren, and she's looking into an AMD processor. But is it cheaper to get an AMD than an Intel processor for a lappy?
*
Sony Vaio FW and SR... or if budget more then get Vaio Z for RM 7988 (if pre order get camera worth RM1300 and leather bag worth RM599 but dunno still got preorder offer or not)
Or Asus G1S or G1SN also very good and high performance

for cheap laptop get Acer such as Acer4530

HP Pavilion dv5-1039TX  @ rm5350 or Sony SR series @ rm4488 + (cost of upgrading ram, it has 1gb stock) ??

the sony SR is cheaper and has better batt life but lacks a good gpu, the dv5 is more expensive but the specs are spot on for me but has some heating issues or so i've heard..

which should i choose ?

Go for Sony.

Done with all installation ... just wana inform all the Dell FreeDos buyers that Dell website provides the support for all the XP and Vista driver download. Just key in the service tag, or the model number under the technical support section.  Then you just follow the link according to what you want to do. All drivers in one place!  With a decent connection, you can finish everything within 2 hours. =)

I am a happy owner of Inspiron 1420!  smile.gif  smile.gif  smile.gif

Brand: HP / Sony Vaio (might consider other brands if it has nice design)
Budget: ~5k
Spec: powerful and able to suppose most and upcoming games.
Extras: I think the design of the lappie is one of the aspects for me. For example, Sony has good lappies but their design is kinda boring and dull. Somewhat like Hp's design, blue light quick-launch buttions, 180 degress screen etc etc.

Thats a first

Why dont u consider Sony Vaio Z... Top of the class and really very light... Only 1.4kg like that... And price tag kinda expensive about RM 7988 but if u did preorder then get free camera worth RM1399 and leather bag worth RM 599

@DarkLord
ya amd turion is out long time and now got new platform puma. but core2duo is more common in laptop compared to amd. all this while i have been focusing on core2duo. anyway i saw u open another thread outside. i am sure more ppl can help u. but if u dont mind dell then try dell xps. most worth to me. or try asus F8VR

@Chunhaw
coz i not interested in hp. never really read much bout it. why asus? coz i like the F8 design the cover looks nice. and asus got 2 years international warranty. the graphic card about the same ... not much diff... and coz hp is like boring.. tot that asus not so common then not so boring.

Hey forumers... I see this Dell Studio 15 quite good oh... RM2999. Core2duo T5750 and got 256 MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450. And also 2gb ram and vista home premium. and if u ad some more rm can get a very nice cover design. check it out at dell website... quite worth in my oppinion... its not totally performance build but still reasonable....

Hello All,

Kindly need some assistance here. Am asking behalf for my friend.

Budget: 2500 RM (Max.)
Brand: Acer, Compaq and Dell (others can do also, i can't think of any at the moment)
Specs: Processor - 2.0Ghz Dual Core & Above, 1gb ram (at least), 120gb for hard drive
Size: Any size.

Here is a little story:

My friend have a maximum budget of RM 2500 for getting a lappy. But he is wishing for something great so he went on a hunt and he found Acer TravelMate 4720 [reference link >> (http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/acer-travelmate-4720-core/4505-3121_7-32569142.html)

So, he ask for my opinion whether to buy the lappy or not. Well, from my POV, I think what he found is a 2nd hand laptop. I am not sure either, soooo... I am confirming here. And should he buy that or there is better option. Please leave your professional comment and POV.

Thank you for any feedback.
*
I think for that budget is good to get Dell Inspiron 1420. RM 2499 i think... its always safe to buy dell

just want to share that Dell got Inspiron 14 which has really great specs for a great price. Only Rm1999 and can get Core2Duo T6400 (2.0GHZ).
If u do not play games that need intense graphics (especially college girls) then go for it. Its Core2Duo and 2GB ram. Weight is 2.11kg.

About the design I am not sure if it is nice as I have not seen the real thing.
