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

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

u must choose from the configuration customiser page on dell,

vostro 1400 is the distant cousin for inspiron 1420, except all black, no color choice

same goes for v1500, being the cousin for i1520

okay... it's me again....

now buying laptop for myself... target is to save up enough $$ in 3 months time...

i am going to use the lappy for minor gaming and watching movie & surf internet only...

game that i played: Sims 2, The sims city, Dota, Grando Espada....

wish to get anything below 4k..... erm... and not really into dell... hope to get other brand... so need you all pro & sifu to recommend me so that i can tell the sales person what  model i want....

thanks !

i dont know why do u not want dell, but ive attached a pricelist

pls consider toshiba satellite a200, if u want 15 inch, gaming and brand name

consider toshiba m100 if u want 14 inch, lightweight, gaming and brand name

then look at benq joybook s41, if u want 14 inch, lightweight, gaming, speed and lesser known brand name

dont know why u dont want dell, but these are affordable alternatives should u skip dell

my best suggestion is that u want to buy the m100, im currently using it, so far no problems after 1 1/3 years. that spec even higher spec than mine and its also light to carry around for a lady. plus can game F.E.A.R. also
