Budget: 3-4k
Spec: Can't really decide as I'm kinda outdated now...but must include graphic card
Size: Medium sized, 2-2.5 kgs, 14-15' LCD.
Updates:

QUOTE(eclectice @ Mar 23 2008, 09:59 PM) Alphine white with gloss finish is so ugly...it does not match the white feel of Macbook or Ipod at all...heheh...I know this because I bought one for Inspiron 1420. And only 1GB DDR2 system memory? Better get 2GB or more if you decide to use Vista. mayb the one for xps n inspiron is different? plz correct if i'm wrong... btw, if really can get discounts n freebies from dell by calling them...den i'll try my luck den...but the prob is, how do u nego with them?? jz act like noob n ask, "Eh, can get more discount n freebies ar?" after confirming the order?? lolx |

Called them jz nw for a quotation of XPS 1530....requested for upgrades but some not available
eg, wanted to upgrade Core2Duo T7250 to T8100...only upgrade to T8300 available...cost RM440, then requested for alpine white colour kit, it's not available as well...haizz
when ask about freebies, he said this offer quite good d cause got free mouse - Logitech(R) NX50 Corsica Laser Mouse as advertised (2day last day summore) and free delivery...

I jz received my XPS few days ago...so I'm not sure whether this prob still persists in newer batch the only prob i had is the power port on the notebook left side is kinda loose for me, as for the 2 USB ports on yr left is very tight...got once i even accidentally removed da power cord jz to use force to pull out my pendrive... |

QUOTE(charger @ Mar 31 2008, 03:46 PM) did u complain to dell regarding this ? nope...still unsure whether wanna complain onot cause other users might be facing the same prob where even a new replacement unit won't do anything... got one member is facing the tight USB port prob as well QUOTE(eclectice @ Mar 31 2008, 03:46 PM) Are the conditions very serious which can put you into a difficult situation? Hopefully, they can be worked out. Ermm...i think i can still live with it, hehe |

QUOTE(coldfusion @ Mar 31 2008, 09:25 PM) With the above specs; What kind of gaming can i do? How will it fare with new and upcoming games? And is upgrading from T5450 to T7250 really worth it for those usage? Why not upgrade to the new penryn processor like T8100, 8300 etc?? If u wan gaming...8600GT is recommended...unless u can get 8800  |

QUOTE(chronic_blade @ Apr 3 2008, 02:02 AM) following up, i found another contender... the Acer Aspire 6290 & 8290 (Blue Gemstone) how much are these 2 laptops and how do they fare compared to the Asus and XPS ? The Acer after sales service + warranty any good ? thanks! From what i've heard, Acer has various prob for it's previous model...i'm nt sure bout da gemstone series As for Dell's aftersales support....it's considered as the best among the dealer in m'sia...vry fast, if lucky can get free upgrades... |
