go for brand with good warranty insurance such as acer upgrade to 3 years warranty and of course use Intel don't use AMD for long and durable my personal suggestion.

Hi. I m desperately looking to buy a new laptop.

details as per below :-

Desc = For college student, not much gaming activities, lots of surfing.

Brand = Any. But looks like Acer isn't a good choice.

Budget = Max of 2.4K

Specs =
- Intel
- Windows XP preferably. Vista is ok
- 1GB RAM or more (more if Vista)
- DVD Burner
- Bluetooth
- Good Graphic card
- Space preferable 160GB or more

KINDLY REPLY ASAP. Thankkkkkkkkkk you all!

Erm... This is what we could see as brand power. As we know, Sony has its reputation good in the electronic field. Therefore, its product is always having good quality compare to others. Not to say other not good. This can be see in Apple also, as you can see the spec of apple macbook and ipod not really that superb also but the price is ridiculous. However, there are some consumer who like and believe in brand for its reputation. Of course, you have to pay for the brand also instead of the parts. However, its still up to you to choose which is the best that suits your budget and needs. As for myself, I choose Dell bcso it provides me with the customizeable spec which I could add in graphic card as I like. This couldn't be done in other brand. Besides that, they also provide me with the price within my budget. So, what you need to do is, think again of your budget and needs. If you have a budget thats high enough for a sony and you like to own a "BRANDED" laptop,then go for it. If you are looking for one which is worth for money, I would say, DEll will be a good choice. If you need help to decide which laptop is best for you, tel me your budget. Besides that, Dell provide better service as all dell warranty is onsite while sony is carry in(onsite need to pay extra to upgrade). kianchun555.

hmm.. since no acer for u.. why not try dell? play with the specs on their website. maybe can get a laptop which suits u and ur budget..

guys, i heard the mountviena platform will out this 14ht of june, and after by that, will DEll or others brand laptop will be using dat platform as well? if so i'll intend to save it for now untill the mountviena platform is out!

Hey there, planning to get a new laptop soon, currently shopping around so will need some ideas and recommendations.

Brand: Along the lines of Dell and HP/Compaq. Not Acer (Some say quality kinda sucks, not long lasting). Not Sony (I think the extra costs for style and design isn't necessary).

Use: Typical work (eg: internet surfing, emailing, downloading, work, assignments, etc), and also to properly run games (no lagging or hang) like Sims 2 and DotA.

Size: Hopefully not too heavy (Less than 2.8 kg). and not too big (Less than 15')

Budget: Max RM 2.6k

Really need your help and suggestions, need recommendations on:
- Brand and model
- Specs

Hehe thanks thanks =)
