I'm a uni student using notebook mainly for assignments, musics, movies and internet. I need a computer thats stable, worth for value, good performance and can last me throughout my uni years. Will be bringing it overseas so warranty is a important issue as well.

I've did some research and have about 4 notebooks in mind approximately within my budget of +- 3.5-4K.

Dell XPS M1330 - upgrade to 2.0 GHz processor = Rm 4088
HP dv 2703tx = Rm 3999
Dell Inspiron 1450 ( or was it 1420) = less than Rm4000 i think
Compaq presario V3716TU = from Rm 3599

I hope to get some recommendations/ suggestions as I'll be getting it in few days time. Thanks alot.

Australia...does it make any difference which country it is?
