QUOTE(coldfusion @ Mar 31 2008, 10:47 AM) Hey people...I'm plannin to buy a Dell Inspiron 1420 with these specs. They fit my budget just right. I just need some advice about the choice of specs I have chosen. I plan to do some photoshop, video/sound editing and producing, some moderate gaming(yesteryear games and new and upcoming games at lower settings,i dont mind) and of course the usual basics(email,surfing and documents). the processor is good enuf to handle all ur basic use . T8100 or new generation processor will be released soon for Inspiron line and why not wait for half a month . maybe on pc fair.Intel(R) Core™2 Duo Processor T7250 Genuine Windows Vista(R) Home Premium - with AERO experience 2GB (2 X 1024MB) 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM 120GB SATA Hard Drive Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Combination Drive with dual layer write capabilities NVIDIA(R) GeForce™ 8400M GS with 128MB GDDR3 dedicated graphic memory The rest of the details were all default and unchanged so i figure dont need to put it all here. The question of gaming is subjective so I'd also like to know if my processor upgrade from the T5450 is worth the upgrade since I am going to do the above.And will this gpu last me for the next 2 years at least? will the GPU last u for 2years ? no one can answer u . tis is up2 ur usage . my GMA 950 serve me well and using for almost 2years d. no gaming at all and can run vista well.... since ur processor is T7250 , i advice u take 4gb ram (2 x 2gb) to make it better. 2gb on vista is a minimum .simply open up mozilla and winamp will spend around 1gb ram d .

QUOTE(petercrouch15 @ Aug 3 2008, 11:55 AM) Hi all, Brands - Have no specific favourites but trying to avoid Acer and other not known laptop brands < Asus , Hp or maybe Dell ?I am currently interested in buying a new Laptop for work and gaming purposes. I suppose Intel would be my preference. My budget is approximately RM4000. Brands - Have no specific favourites but trying to avoid Acer and other not known laptop brands Graphic Card - At least allows me to play some DOTA, some new FPS games (COD4,Crysis) and many many more that would last me a few years Chipset - Intel Core 2 Duo (model type i am not very sure hopefully you guys can help me out) Screen - probably a 15" and above . Hopefully i am not demanding way too much Other than that should be fine because my main interest would be the longetivity of this laptop so that my investment wont be wasted within 2 years or so. Thanks for your help guys. Let me know if you guys need more information. If there are any cheaper cost with this specs but other brands please do let me know as well. Cheers Graphic Card - At least allows me to play some DOTA, some new FPS games (COD4,Crysis) and many many more that would last me a few years Intel GMA 950 already can support DOTA , CS and other online games... those are are consider old games d... and there is no g.card that could support any latest games for the next 2 years in even medium resolution especially FPS games....COD and Crysis , maybe can play using ur new g.card , but next 2 years new games might not be supported Chipset - Intel Core 2 Duo (model type i am not very sure hopefully you guys can help me out) type of Processor might highly depends on ur budget ... maybe can try out P series intel processor ? Screen - probably a 15" and above . Hopefully i am not demanding way too much Other than that should be fine because my main interest would be the longetivity of this laptop so that my investment wont be wasted within 2 years or so.
