Hi , anyone noe how much is Vostro 1500 with the specs above ? And can i get it directly from TechAsia@Lowyat without using online ?Thanks

10.6lbs=4.0 kg..?

Hi I need your recommendation and advise on my choices of notebooks. I need them for work purpose and I need to install a software which seemed to work faster under XP OS and slower with Vista(well that's sort of understandable why). Mobility is also quite a big factor for me. I have 3 notebooks to consider but I really don't know which to choose. Can you please give me your recomm. based on these 3. Thx.

Brand
1. HP Pavilion TX2032AU
Sometimes I may need to show certain things to my clients so having a tablet pc is a bonus. This seems to be a really good choice and good value but I have heard of the heat problem. And it's Vista, I can't downgrade unless I void the warranty which is a no-no for me. Maybe slow and hot but still I think it MIGHT be a good choice. The price is very good for me!
2. EEE PC 900
Mobility and price is the biggest things that interest me on this. Problem is that it might not be that long lasting and I need to buy separate optical drive and etc to make up for lack of space.
3. Kojinsha
I wish I have the money to buy the latest Kohjinsha! It's almost perfect for me but the price is sky high. Do you recommend this brand? There are some who sell certain model(I forgot which) that is about RM3000 something, should I spend that much? Is it really worth the price?

Budget
Somewhere from RM2000 - less than RM3500 max!

Specs
I don't really know a lot of techie stuff but I know I must have a notebook that runs fairly fast and efficient. And light.

Size
2Kg or less is best. Mobility purpose.

i think i saw Hyundai M-Life around 1.8k

HP TX series, Im using it. Heat is not much an issue.
But I am not sure how Win XP work with the tablet. Vista in this machine is a bit too slow running batteries.

Budget 4.5k looking for a laptop for movies,song and games .

What model shud i look into ?

Acer Asipire Gemstone / Dell`s XPS ?

looking for a 17 inch notebook
budget 5k
any brand will do
warranty is the one that i care the most..

Without a second thought, go for DELL XPS 1530.

Satisfaction guaranteed.

budget 3k, looking for normal use laptop with minimun gaming, use for movie, music and college work. light and small, so easier to carry around by girl. Any recommend?

Does that mean if I use battery then Vista runs even slower? Wow I don't want it slow...I need to use the internet with my work so if it's slow that's no good.

I am getting Asus M50 next week Nvidia 9500GS 512MB. Can this baby handle COD4 with high setting?

since u care warranty the most then dell ins1720 suit for u since their services is the best

Why not ACER Gemstone?

I have a friend of mine in the USA who's wiling to get Alienware laptop for me, is it worth it? Is the laptop there cheaper than Malaysia?

There are many problems affiliated with Acer Gemstone. Try to search in this forum when you will see what is the problems are.

In addition, Dell is a moe established brand.

I like Gemstone too , its gets a good review and a 82% rating while the XPS 1530 gets 84% rating (notebookcheck.net) . But XPS 1530 is less heavier , less pricey, better performance and more important of all .. superb service . But still i`m planing to get Gemstone coz i watch movie and listen to songs more often and its has all teh requirement i wan .. eg 8 cell batt , hd lcd , 320 gb etc etc . Bout teh service , my dad knows the acer`s manager here in my place .. so i dun hafta worry a lot =D

Btw , every brand has its problem , XPS 1530 has lots of problem too , leakage + grainy lcd prob , hdd prob , heat prob , shock prob etc . So its all bout LUCK

For 4.5k, Acer 6920G clearly outperforms Dell XPS M1530 in my opinion as a multimedia notebook. Only 2 points it loses to Dell: Brand reputation(heck), mobility (3.5kg vs 2.6kg).

Besides this, Acer 6920G rocks all the way.

Notebookcheck's website has a good review on Acer Gemstone Blue 6920G with the following points:



As expected, the Blu-ray drive is just a Blu-ray reader, not a Blu-ray burner (ability to to burn a Blu-ray media in this sense. Of course, some Blu-ray drives can burn CD/DVD)



For a better Crysis gameplay experience, you will be slightly disappointed (however, this review is done with a Windows Vista base system which is still good):



However, compare that with M1730 gaming rig (two GeForce 8800M GTX SLI):
