hey i'm looking for a laptop with the following criterias.
price: less than 3.5k brand: any brand but acer screen: at least 14 inch purpose: i do game occasionally.so i'm looking for one which can run games like FIFA, COD, L4D etc smoothly. oh and on a side note,i tend to leave the laptop on to download stuff thru the day.like maybe the whole afternoon and halfway thru the night?so i'm looking for one which doesn't easily overheat.i've heard friends telling me that dell studio 15 and some other acer laptop tends to overheat,have no idea how true it is. thanks! |

afta lot of research, and going to shops to test out... i;ve narrowed my choices to these two laptops:
1) Toshiba Satelite (forgot the model L300 series i think) -Intel Dual Core t4XXX -DDRII 3gb -Intel x4500 graphics -other specs forgot d... -Price = RM1699 2) Hp Compaq CQ-40 (i think...) -AMD Turio X2 -DDRII 3gb -ATI 3450 -other specs forgot... -Price = RM1940 so my main questions are: the Compaq more worth the 240 bux?? and is there lot of difference between the intel dual core and amd turion?? and which has better after sale services, in terms of warranty and stuffs.... |
