need recommendation for buying notebook
max rm4.5k
for normal web browsing, watching movies, typing documents and so on
prefer to be light

In this age of increasing electric usage costs, a laptop is a much better alternative for some long-term & low-power needs (torrent downloading, etc). As I already have a desktop, a smaller laptop is my target. Smooth performance of web browsing (that means RAM), ample storage space and warranty service is the main criteria.

1. Brand. : Any brand that offers warranty

2. Budget. : Cheapest ( I use Dell's Vostro 1200 at a customised RM3150 as a benchmark, I'd like alternatives cheaper than Dell)

3. Specs. : Must have option for Windows XP Pro, largest possible storage space, 2 GB RAM
               
4. Size. : Must be size of 12.1" screen

Any ideas?

Added on June 7, 2008, 3:05 amHmm, if anyone can convince me that Windows Vista Basic is suitable in terms of program compatibility, I would consider using the lower-priced OS.

Budget - Around 5k

Usage - A abit gaming, massive downloading, typing and programs.

Need something that's able to be switched on for long hours and durable.

Brand - Nothing specific

Suggestions please, thank you ^^

here is an important question

what are the signs that a laptop is actually a refurbished unit?

Hi , i m looking for ASUS lap top which hav a better graphic card build .. becoz i might using for gaming ..  I seriously need some recommedation about Gaming Lap top which is brand ASUS .. Any1 hav any idea pls reply my topik as soon as possible..
Brand = Asus
Graphic Card = Any graphic which can play better game 
Budget =3k~4k
*Build in webcam and Mic if hav

The 3d graphics card supplied in the asus F5VL is a ATI Radeon X2300 and thats a gaming card? Yeah getting last years normal graphics card is a good investment, no wonder its so cheap.

if want macbook, go for the specs with super drive. I dont buy macbook simply because the aftersales here are not good like in US. here is resellers, not official apple stores.

so I opt for dell xps. configure it on the website and you will get better than macbook

I wanna buy new laptop...
need recommendation from u all...
1. Brand.  which one better??dell?acer?nec?toshiba?
2. Budget.  3k - 4k
3. Specs. 
4. Size. not to small/bigger

need laptop for my cousin, just enter some college, recomendation for budget in range rm1800~2000

well, when i get price list from lowyat.net (compuzone/cycom & other)
i saw that many brand of laptop offer laptop in my budget range.

but i still dunno what's brand is good to choice.
in term of hardware spec between brand is "quite same". example, for rm2000, between acer & compaq, hardware spec "quite same", just little additional....

so, i think it's better to choose brand that it's customer service very very good 
if somthing happen, no need worried about to claim warranty, or to get support from them.

maybe next week i'll go to lowyat plaza.

so, i very appreciate for all of your advise here
