I am so confuse...hope any bro will guide me?
planning to buy laptop next few days...

my budget : around rm4-5k.

currently confuse with :

hp 2616tx  price : 4500(maybe can get staff price rm4k)
dell xps m1330  price : 4100
acer Aspire 4920G-301G25 price : 3500 !!!!!      blink.gif

those 3 above have what i want
as
2.0 processory
2gb ram
nvida

so my question is :

1.acer using 8600m gs nvida and hp n dell is 8400m gs...much diffrent?
2.if compare those 3 ...it seems acer has the cheapest price of rm3500 ...but acer 1 gb ram.....so choosing acer seems to be a good choice?

usuage : online.....some game(not hardcore game like crysis,football manager will do )

i like xps lightweight,acer cheap and hp? maybecan get staff price so still around 4k
so? conclusion? i dunno...thx for replying in advance

if u have budget around rm4000+ just try Acer 5920G-602G32 that come with Intel T7500,2GB RAM,320 GB HDD,Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT(512MB Ddedicated)

I'm a uni student using notebook mainly for assignments, musics, movies and internet. I need a computer thats stable, worth for value, good performance and can last me throughout my uni years. Will be bringing it overseas so warranty is a important issue as well.

I've did some research and have about 4 notebooks in mind approximately within my budget of +- 3.5-4K.

Dell XPS M1330 - upgrade to 2.0 GHz processor = Rm 4088
HP dv 2703tx = Rm 3999
Dell Inspiron 1450 ( or was it 1420) = less than Rm4000 i think
Compaq presario V3716TU = from Rm 3599

I hope to get some recommendations/ suggestions as I'll be getting it in  few days time. Thanks alot.

I'm planning to buy a new laptop. Basically it is for normal school projects and watching movies etc. No games. So the most basic computer will do fine.
My budget is 2000-2600.

Problem is I dunno which brand to get. Toshiba is definitely good, I'm using one myself, but no decent one falls in my budget.

Dell is ok too, esp since the service people will go to my house. Safe me all the hassle. But now I can't choose to have it preloaded with Windows XP. Even though I have an original retail copy of XP, I'm scared if I install it, I many not find all the appropriate for my lappy. Using Vista is out of the question as it is a resource hog and I don't need any vista specific function.

HP ok also. Got any model good basic models that comes with XP or no OS? Also worried if need RMA, got to go Shah Alam. Same place with Toshiba right. But I heard the service sucks.

hi guys..i'm planning to buy a laptop to do my design work.the software's i'll be using is mostly adobes and some 3d software like 3dmax and maya.for the 3d i wont be doin heavy work,just moderate 3d.
so i did my survey for laptops last week.the budget is around RM3500-4000.
so there are 3 brands...

1. HP tablet TX1214 -- RM3499.but this one that bothers me is the prosessor.for this price it uses athlon x2(i forgot the speed). ow ya i found a thread abt this model.there have been some problem abt the LCD's colour and the touchscreen sensitivity.any other prob you guys heard of?

2. SOny Vaio VGN-NR120E--RM3499( i was surprised with the price coz all i know is that sony is expensive)
this laptop uses intel centrino core2duo (again..i forgot the speed). with this price i've been buruk sangka. tongue.gif i keep thinking there might be a catch with this price.coz usually sony is expensive rite?plz need ur help here.. biggrin.gif
3.hmmm i dont know...whether a HP DV2000 maybe or macbook.but macbook i'm not really anxious with it cos of the OS.i'm a windows breed..  tongue.gif 
all the laptop i mentioned above uses Nvidia or ATI right?so i think it'll support my 3d rite?

so can any of you who have used this laptops can give me a recommendation,tips?or maybe you guys tried it before.
any advice is welcomed.thanks a lot for the help.appreciate it.

first that is HP Pavilion TX1316AU but not TX1214AU which this model is definately doesntmeet your requirement

second that is Sony VAIO CR35GN but not NR120E.CR35 is using Intel T8100(2.1GHZ),ATI X2300(128MB Dedicated),2GB RAM,200GB HDD which is ok for your work

or maybe u can try HP Pavilion DV2703TX as well

Hi All,

Been surfing for quite some time/years..finally decided to register myself  tongue.gif

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 =  thumbup.gif
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.

Hey guys can you recommend me a good gaming laptop?
I mostly wanna play World of Warcraft at all High Settings smoothly.
Maybe 15FPS will do, especially when raiding.
DotA should be about 45FPS I expect.
Hope it supports Starcraft II when it comes out.

Budget is around RM 3,500 - RM 4,500.
The most important thing to me is that it can last at least THREE years.
The LCD screen should be 14+ inch.

I'm not sure which brand is good for gaming.
Functions doesn't really matter. I just need a good gaming laptop.
Preferred Brand Order : Asus > HP >= DELL
