Heyz there!

A week ago I asked for recommendations on laptops but no one replied. So I ventured in the recent PC fair to find out. Now I'm MORE confused with more choices. Lol.

I actually looking for a netbook. I have keeping in view with:

HP Mini 1000
Eee PC 1000h
Acer Aspire One

So far I think it is good in the sense that all of them suits my requirement well (lightweight, not so small text, good keyboard interface [except Eee PC's right shift button which is in odd position], included windows XP, sufficient USB port, etc). But any of these laptops have advantage over the other (other than price)? Or anyone has better recommandations in netbooks?

Thanks in advance ya!

Hello. Just want to make an enquiry.
Going to get the a new laptop soon and I was wondering what is the best available in the market. Maybe ill just be droooling because of the unattainable price but i would still like to know which is the best.
Thx

Hi people.. I need some help again.. I still havent buy any laptop, and I missed the PC Fair last weekend. Anyways, can you help me to decide, which one I should go for - Fujitsu L1010 or Sony VAIO CGN-CS16G.

Both have about the same specs (Core 2 Duo P8400,NVIDIA GeForce 9300M, 2GB RAM, just that Fujitsu's RAM is DDR3 while VAIO's DDR2, and Fujitsu has the fingerprint recognition tech while VAIO doesnt have any) and both have very nice appearance and most important is the price is just about the same. They still have the PC Fair promo though, so I think I might need to get it by this week. I saw at the brochure that Sony is giving away a lot of freebies (including a bluetooth mouse and a walkman), while Fujitsu is giving only 2 freebies- backpack and mouse. I am having a hard time thinking which one should I go for. The thing I wanted most is not the freebies. I'm more to the specs offered. So, Fujitsu or Sony people? HELP me!

Anyways, I have another question, is ASUS really that good? I mean, there's another ASUS with a very pretty design - F6V and various colours - F8Vr.

hey.. can anyone recomend a laptop for me? my budget is rm3000.
what im looking for is something with a 14"-15" screen.

Hey y'all,

I'm heading to the US in a couple of weeks, and I'm looking to get a laptop.

People have recommended I get an Asus or Compaq, though I seem to have a lot of friends who have Macs or Vaio's. I think my preference would be Asus though.

My budget is about RM3000 or so, but it's pretty flexible.

I'm not sure what kind of specifications, but I am gonna pursue a double degree in IT and Mass Comm. I use Adobe programs quite a bit, especially for designing. Also, I download programs and music quite a bit, and also some song recording now and then. I guess, one specification would be a web cam, as I'll want to communicate with my family and friends back here while I'm away. Also, I guess I'd have to pay attention to warranty details too =/

One more thing, a longer battery life is preferable, cause I'll be mobile/not near a socket most times on campus.

Size doesn't really matter, cept I'd prefer if 15" or so be the max. Lol.

So, if y'all help me out, that'd be great =) Even better if you could point me towards a place where I could find it (the laptop). Thanks. =D

Hey astria,
Is compaq good? I mean.. Does it have loads of problems? I'd rather a notbook with less problems, lousy warranty compared to one with superb warranty but always breaks down. =X

Acer Aspire ONE = RM1,400? can get it cheaper?

Sorry i don't have any experience on netbook, is it possible to install any linux version(zenwalk or mint) and make it dual-boot with windows XP?

Compaq CQ40 looks tempting too for a price of RM1,800

1. Brand :: Any as long as its reliable and easy to obtain drivers.
2. Budget :: Nothing more than 4-5K
3. Specs :: Lots of RAM. Something long term, plan to use primarily for lots of virtualization, testing, messing around with software, downloading, light gaming (eg: DoTA, Unreal Tournament 2004, nothing super recent)
4. Size :: As light as possible. I move around alot.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could kindly provide some valuable advice for me. I am stuck in that, I am not sure if I should just wait for the new Intel processors or buy one now.. Any advice would help me out tremendously. Thanks again

wanna buy a laptop for sleek design. buy for gf.
1. Brand - i saw XPS and considering it now. Well any brand u recommend will do but not VAIO
2. Budget - around RM4000
3. Specs - gal like design and she loves programming a lot. so i advised her with M1330 with small and portable capabilities. small because easier for her to carry it along everyday.
4. Size - any but when i propose 13inch on M1330 she said larger better. Will i will finalize all when i get any idea from you guys here.

BTW

1. can i get any ideas on the graphics in between XPS M1330 and M1530?

2. shall i wait for XPS Studio? XPS studio also a performance lappy?

Thanks in advance. Look forward for any of sifus reply.

Brand : dell, compaq

Budget : not more than RM3k. RM2k ++

Size : umm...not sure bout dimensions, preferably light enough to bring around. college, wifi spots, etc

Spec : no lagging problems (use photoshop quite a bit), core 2 duo processor, longer batt life, less problematic, dvd burner, wifi, bluetooth, whatever else (i'm not good with specs)
oh and what's this i'm hearing about NVIDIA issue? please explain (:
open to any brands. can you guys list a few laptops? i'll check out the sites myself. just need some rough ideas. benq and asus i've been hearing about it, but not so much confidence in those brands. HP and lenovo has some good laptops i heard, but they're out of my budget right?

hello guys, here's my short enquiry for laptop specs. It's for my parents to use, but i also share it for outdoor use at college.

1. Brand. - Any brand except Dell and Sony. (i have bad experiences with dell, and i know sony prices are cutthroat)
2. Budget. - RM2k min. RM2.3k max.
3. Specs. - anything suitable for work, a little photoshop, net surfing, medium gaming (at least able to play left 4 dead at minimum specs)
4. Size. - Any size

Sorry if my spec requirement sounds weird. thank you in advance for help! (:

EDIT:: about specs, I prefer windows XP support, but i just want to ask, if the laptop can only support vista, is it good choice to go for vista-only anyway? because windows 7 will be out next year, i scared will be outdated. i'm noob about this things, sorry if i assume wrong. (:

HELLO..
i need recommendation.. a laptop used for designing.. budget under 3k.. please this is for my auntie that studying at uitm in designing..

can someone gimme a recommendation?? I need a laptop with preferably 12" screen or larger (not more than 14") plus DVD burner...budget around RM 1400 - RM1600

Waaa..... Happy New Year!!! hehehe....

Wonder what it means for my new year when one of the first things i do in 2009 is come to LYN!

Hope can get some assist... Looking for a notebook for my mom with the following criteria:

1) size - not more than 13" (very important!!)
2) Processor speed - highest specs in the market (I think there is a new processor called quad something?)
3) RAM - highest possible specs in the market
4) energy saving features -  long long long  battery life
5 Cost - RM2 - 3K
6) excellent after sales support
7) disk space not really an issue as have own portable drive

For this, not considering a netbook, since the atom processor apparantly won't be fast enough. Notebook must be very travel friendly, but can support multiple programs, and can also support heavy-duty movie editing.

I think the best way to describe this would be a notebook which is like a netbook on steroids!   

Thankz... and Happy happy new year 2009!

Brand : asus, compaq

Budget : 2k-2.5k

Size : less than 14'

Spec : prefer dedicated graphics card

purpose: a little photoshop and medium gaming
