i'm thinking of getting Dell Vostro 1400 Laptop as the cost seems to be cheaper and weight lesser compare to Dell Inspiron. Any comments?

also should i get the Targus Defcon Combination Cable Lock [+RM 117.00]
Dell Recommended or i can get it cheaper elsewhere...

what's the differences between a 65W and a 90W AC Adapter?

Both Dell Vostro 1400 and Dell Inspiron 1420 are more or less of the same weight (2.5 kg with a 6-cell battery). If you buy a 9-cell battery, it will be 2.9 kg.

90W AC adapter is required for a dedicated GPU option you choose for your Dell laptop.

Targus Defcon Lock's price is more or less the same like in the market. But, you can ask for more discount if you buy the lock from the market rather than from Dell. So, it is no need to add the lock option in your Dell specs. I suggest you to allocate the budget to buy the Complete Cover package and the 3-year Warranty service package.

yup, same pricing..............
for me, vostro is more to working environment n inspiron is more to entertainment...............

really wow thanx. i'll head there straightaway...
but can i fully customize my notebook at the shop? nvm...will try to find out today or tomorrow

why u said so? isnt both Vostro and Inspiron share the same spec? can gives e.g.?

not a same spec...

multi tasking.....2.4

simple usage.... 2.0

Hey guys here, I just don't understand the specs here:

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T7700 ( 2.4Ghz 4MB L2 Cache 667Mhz FSB )

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T8100 ( 2.1Ghz 3MB L2 Cache 667Mhz FSB )

Why T8100 is more expensive than T7700? Is it because it is 45nm? But T7700 it is 2.4Ghz and 4MB L2 Cache....

Can anyone pls recommend me any suitable & reliable LapTop with price range below RM2500. TQ

I need a laptop. Please recommend me a:

1. Don't care (toshiba preference)
2. RM7k flexible
3. for work. Not for games. Weight <1kg if possible. Battery life as long as possible >5hrs. Screen size 13 inch or 1024x768 pixels. Must be windows. Don't want the useless macbook air with 1 usb port. Few USB ports and lots of pheripheral connection is good.
4. Small. Not small like those 9" screen monithors. Need proper laptop keyboard to work with.

Previous laptop, a toshiba protege (dont remember) RM10k, ~5yrs ago. Battery life 4hours normal, 900gm with extended get additional 5hours 1.3kgs. Looking for something like that as will carry it a lot.

Thank you

Note : if you don't have anything to say. Kindly don't spam the thread. Otherwise I'll forward this case to a staff whereby you'll receive your warning !

This goes to the rest of you as well ! . Try to post something constructive here and tell why you prefer that laptop instead instead of just few liners only

How about Lenovo Thinkpad T61?
It runs very cool, great keyboard, touchpad and touch point. The most important is the design and built quality!
