Hi everyone.
I need to get a laptop soon and I wish I could get some clues here on what choice do I have.

1. Brand.
Dell, HP or any other reliable brands.

2. Budget.
Around RM3k. (Best if it doesn't exceed 3k.)

3. Specs.
- Intel C2D T5750 or better.
- Include genuine Windows Vista, version doesn't matter.
- At least 2GB DDR2 RAM.
- Graphic: anything that is better than the GMA X3100, at least 128MB.
- HDD above 100GB.
- Screen: grossy one, at least 1280x800 pixels.
- Built in webcam (at least 1.3MP) and microphone.
- DVD burner.
- Bluetooth.
- 4 USB 2.0.
- WiFi.

4. Size.
- Screen size 12"~15".
- Weight doesn't matter.

Maybe I am asking too much for the price... sweat.gif
Oh ya, prefer the real deal type, I can't buy online for some reasons. sad.gif
Anyway I hope you guys can help.
Thank you very much and sorry if I have troubled you. notworthy.gif

Everything seems perfect for me except the processor and the OS. Is it possible to estimate the price if I want T5750 & Vista?
Anyway I will try to find a Dell outlet around Melaka.
Thank you. smile.gif

my base unit only came with 8400gs , xp home or vista home basic

so i topped up rm 152 for the geforce 8600gt, then rm92 for win xp pro,

top up next level proc is rm203 to t7250. wats the proc speed for t5750 anyways?

So that means I can get the same spec as urs but Vista Home Basic with RM3051, correct?
Cannot top up to T5750 ar, must T7250? unsure.gif

T5750: 2.0GHz, 2MB L2, FSB 667MHz. Similiar to T7250 but slower FSB and cheaper. blush.gif

try to customise on dell online, thats what they offer

the special price was only a limited offer in midvalley, till stocks last

sorry i dont have their contact number, but try looking up on the net

i managed to gain about rm600 to rm800, using the same customisation of my spec online

minus the free antivirus promotion now
