QUOTE(fr4nz7 @ Nov 25 2008, 03:05 PM) Nettops...neverheard those like EEE PC, Wind, Aspire One...more detail plz  8.9" or 10" monitor, weight dun exceed 1.5kg spec wise, it's not as powerful as a full fledge laptop, but biggest advantage is weight, mobility, price and battery life... Added on November 25, 2008, 3:48 pm QUOTE(PCHo @ Nov 25 2008, 02:39 PM) Thinking of getting a laptop soon. Nettop satisfy 1) and 4)So need some help or advice here. Torn between getting a Eee PC for its extreme mobility... and BenQ's S42 for its performance and features... Any users here who can tell me the pros and cons of owning either one? My applications for the laptop would be mostly for surfing the internet, watching movies, editing photos and maybe some old school games like Starcraft or Diablo 2. My biggest concerns, listed by priority would be: 1) Mobility (smaller size & weight below 2kg would b nice) 2) Performance (multiple webpages, photo editing & games) 3) Storage (more of course better) 4) Heat (I might on my laptop 24 hours a day) I know striking a balance between all my priorities is no easy task. But I was hoping someone with experience in laptops might have better suggestions since this would b my 1st laptop purchase. Thanks in advance~!  S42 satisfy 2), 3) and 4) most 13" laptops have a much weaker graphic then S42... or perhaps Asus N10J, Nettop spec, but with 320GB HDD and GeForce 9300M GS... dun expect gaming will be great though... personally i will still prefer S42 Added on November 25, 2008, 3:48 pm QUOTE(osxchd @ Nov 25 2008, 12:40 PM) better then R43, but 15" with GMA juz looks funny to me...This post has been edited by astria: Nov 25 2008, 03:48 PM |

can, but dun expect very good performance even when used with 9600M GT...
i suggest u look for non-special model instead... they come with the latest 45nm C2D T9000s or BenQ S42, pretty good price/performance ratio (C2D P8400 + 9600M GT) Added on November 26, 2008, 4:26 pm QUOTE(osxchd @ Nov 26 2008, 04:21 PM) any1 recommend asus? Asus is good, especially their warranty... 2 yr int'l warranty...This post has been edited by astria: Nov 26 2008, 04:26 PM |

i remember ur budget is 2k rit???
actually i think Compaq CQ40 should be a better deal for u... the integrated graphic is better than Intel's, thus allowing for some light gaming as well... |

any laptops can game, it's juz a mater of how smooth and high setting it is...
17"??? prepare to fork out at least 7k to get it.. not to mention building up some muscles if u need to carry it around often... other choices are: Asus G50V - 15.4", 9700M GT, approx. RM6k BenQ S42 - 14.1", 9600M GT, approx. RM3.4k Compaq CQ40 - 14.1", HD 3450, RM2k+ |

QUOTE(Jaroque @ Nov 28 2008, 02:16 PM) lol no nid 7k...M1730 only 6.9k on website and about 6k+ from the dealers in LYN.... 8600M GT/8700M GT = timebomb...nuff said... Added on November 28, 2008, 6:50 pm QUOTE(he-sham @ Nov 28 2008, 02:45 PM) i need a suggestion.... besides the graphic card, HDMI and 250GB HDD, a Netbook fits ur requirement...budget rm3000 good mobility & portability is a must (that mean screen must be not more than 13") decent graphic card... no heat problem... long battery life.. if possible comes with 250GB harddisk... last but not least, HDMI & VGA output (or s-video)... or top up a bit for BenQ S42, but that's a 14"... or else u need to top up for quite an amount for makers like Sony and Fujitsu... Added on November 28, 2008, 6:51 pm QUOTE(Princess90 @ Nov 28 2008, 04:00 PM) Actually for playing games, is it d graphic card that matters or wat other things? depends on wat games u play...Sum suggestions on those model for light gaming like sims or maple or ro those games. Thanks.... latest games, GPU is top priority, next comes the CPU... but for stuff like maple and RO, well, integrated graphic will do the job well...
