Actually Radeon 2400 & 8600gt do not have much difference , but Radeon 2400xt is slightly better ...
u can have a look at ASUS F8 maybe slightly sighthly above 4k.

Interms of quality and reliability....

I still prefer to stick to brands like DELL, HP and IBM......

I've used twinhead before... notebook is so so but the service center louzy

Dell I have never send to service before... but my cousin send once for modem... (got struck) and I can say the dell service is DARNN Fast!!!!!
come to house repair on spot... WOW!!!!

IBM (TinkPad) so far did not manage to KILL or spoiled..!!!! <-- damn solid fella!!!!

HP (compaq v3222) - Like the price like the performance..!!! got dead pixel on LCD when bought send to HP tower for warranty claim (done in 2 hours) EXPRESS!!!!!
- Battery went dead after 6 months (I used alot) send for warranty claim
they change a NEW set of BATT and a NEW Mother Board (AWESOME) they also clean my processor fan!!!!! (Extended my warranty for MOBO and BATT for another 6 months)
- LCD lid cant close tight (I tink the spring kaput) - REPLACED A NEW LCD (WHOLD LCD AND LID) for ME!!!!!!!!! *Extended my warranty for LCD for free for another 3 months)

what can I say!!!!!!!!!! HP is quite good!!!!!!!

owh..
thanks for the reply..
at my place..there is acer aspire..c2d t300..with mobility radeon hd2400xt..only 3.3k..
so i dont know which is better between this acer and dell c2d 8400gs/8600gt..
now i am only thinking about the performance..and its lifespan(not easily spoiled)..

and i want to ask..whats the difference between inspiron and xps if they got the sape spec?

XPS suppose to be dell hi end range of notebooks.......

yeah..
what the differences..between xps and inspiron..
may be the mobo?

dell is better than acer.

Is the Asus F5VL20DPM good? with a budget of within 3.5K.
or is there any other model that i could choose from? ( looking for lenovo with something similar specs, but seems like asus is more of a populer choice...)
is there any problem with F5VL20DPM that is known? any other users that used that model before got any complaints about it?

hmm.. the F5 is okok for normal usage and light gaming.. for extreme gaming.. cannot tahan.. if u add 700 bucks, u can get an F8.. which is much better than the F5..

then the F8 series which model you're mentioning?? and exactly wat price?? i heard that it's bout RM46xx++ woor... my budget is around RM3.5K, but add another few hundred to RM3.8K still ok geh...
and i would prefer abit big screen lor, 15.4" is most satisfying haha!

edited..
F8 series i found is f8p20dpm RM3588 hehe, but screen is 14.1"
so should i choose that F5series with lower specs at RM3299 or F8series with higher specs at RM3588???? help.....

is that a gaming set? i bought my dell for rm3143, but not sure if u prefer that brand or not

Hello, i've just fixed up these configs @ dell website.
i'm not very resourceful at notebook stuff so i'm wondering whether there are anymore similar offerings to specs somewhat like these. (budget <RM5500)
i'm looking to game with peace of mind...so i'm looking at directx 10 compatible gpus and brands with decent support.

if there is no budget problem, i think DELL laptop would be the best. althought it is more expensive compare to the other brand, but it's worth it. their service is much mcuh more better.

but anybody know when DELL will come out with 9 series graphic card laptop???

no one give me some suggestion?

i think dec 08...
hurm..
the price of dell might be decreased gradually rite if 9series release soon?

with u guys' high budget, i suppose in june got penryn+montevina d, 45nm with 1033mhz max and 6mb L2 so why dun wait a while more...the 1033-1333mhz FSB will surely reduce bottleneck in compare to 800fsb.

most will not tink its a huge improvement but id expect quite noticeable power n speed improvement (claimed 15% or more with Penryn on montevina). besides, being the fastest C2D on the block (or rather in the C2D family) only to be exceeded (note:in quite minority case) by C2Quad, i see no reason not to get the Penryn+monte in merely a month or two.

just my 2 cents (and myb a jar full of it).
cheers

1. Brand.
Any Brand but not acer! Mostly compaq
