Waaa..... Happy New Year!!! hehehe....

Wonder what it means for my new year when one of the first things i do in 2009 is come to LYN!

Hope can get some assist... Looking for a notebook for my mom with the following criteria:

1) size - not more than 13" (very important!!)
2) Processor speed - highest specs in the market (I think there is a new processor called quad something?)
3) RAM - highest possible specs in the market
4) energy saving features - long long long battery life
5 Cost - RM2 - 3K
6) excellent after sales support
7) disk space not really an issue as have own portable drive

For this, not considering a netbook, since the atom processor apparantly won't be fast enough. Notebook must be very travel friendly, but can support multiple programs, and can also support heavy-duty movie editing.

I think the best way to describe this would be a notebook which is like a netbook on steroids! flex.gif

Thankz... and Happy happy new year 2009!

bro, i suggest u either adjust ur budget or ur expectation...

u want powerful but small laptop with long batt life but without spending much...

CPU highest is Core 2 Extreme QX9300... it's a quad core, but this CPU alone already cost more than US$1k...

if ur movie editing program support CUDA, u can try Asus N10J, Atom with GeForce 9300M GS

or Compaq CQ45, which has C2D and GeForce 9300M GS, but it's a 14" laptop...

how abt BenQ S42??? C2D P8600 (SSE4.1), GeForce 9600M GT (CUDA), max 8GB DDR2, hybrid graphic with GMA 4500MHD for extended battery life (approx. 4hrs, long for C2D, short compared to Atom), but it's a 14" and cost RM3.7k
