Hi All,
Been surfing for quite some time/years..finally decided to register myself
I'm currently planning to buy a lappie with the following criteria:-
1. Intel C2D
2. HDD >160Gb
3. Screen size doesn't matter
4. Sound/Speaker =
5. RAM >1Gb (max 4Gb)
6. VGA...hmm this is the biggest problem
Most of the lappie comes with Intel's X3100, but after some long searching, majority says it totally useless for 3D gaming purposes. Hoping to find any with NVidia/ATi.
Purpose for it is mainly paperwork(Excel), Wi-Fi surfing, and Gaming(e.g. Fifa07, C&C TW, NFSU).
Budget <3.5k (preferably around 2.8k-3.2k)
Brands (ASUS, Lenovo, HP/Compaq, & Dell as last choice among these)
So far, I've fixed myself to Compaq's V3758...until I found out that the X3100 graphics can't really support games like Fifa07.
Hope you guys can help. BTW I'm from Penang....even less choice to browse at the shops.
Thanks.
In your case... cpu doesn't matter as long as its dual core (serious)Been surfing for quite some time/years..finally decided to register myself

HDD > 160GB like 250GB are disproportionately more expensive. Better to use an external drive.
RAM > 2GB. 1GB is not enough, 4GB is too much now. Summore ram prices increased lately.
VGA > Even for relatively light game. Nothing less than a 8400M GS. Video ram not important. Integrated graphics sucks regardless.
Personally... brand doesn't matter. Just the support and the look.
