okie, abit tricky and troublesome over my case, as myself is a dell's service provider, but sometimes i doubt bout it's quality(i might be bias as i am work for dell and my works is all about fixing faulty/problematic dell's laptop and desktop at customer's site)
my option are :
Sony Vaio CR35G
T8100 aka C2D 2.10Ghz
200GB
ATI Radeon X2300 128MB
3GB RAM (sales person special offer )
1 Year International Warranty (Services Center in MV)
Free 1 Carry bag +1 Vaio Backpack + Keyboard Cover + VAIO Mouse
Price : RM4488

versus

Dell Inspiron 1420
T7250 aka C2D 2.0Ghz
250GB
NVidia 8400m 128MB
3GB RAM
3 Years Complete Cover(As most services will be done by myself, which mean repair and services myself )
Free 1 Targus Travel Mouse + Free Upgrade to 3GB Ram + Free Upgrade HDD to 250GB
Price : RM4235

other spec almost the same

i actually plan to get a better quality laptop, i dun really care about services if i buy dell, i also gonna services by myself
(as i most likely know what's the known issue for Inspiron 1420, but i got no idea about Sony VAIO, that's why i need the recommendation over here)

what i need is good quality product > good quality services
