Hey. Thanks for the reply.
Is it too small?
Btw which one is better, the 10 or 10v?
Tyvm.

PS: I'm kinda new into this laptop thingy.

u need at least GeForce 9700M GTS or GeForce GTS 150M to rival HD 4650...

but seriously, these 2 are seldom seen in the market...

Added on June 10, 2009, 12:14 pmwell, too small for me... still prefer 13" or 14"...

10 comes with Atom Z while 10v comes with Atom N...

the former is more power efficient and provides some hardware acceleration for HD videos as reflected on the price, but is also slower... so it's really up to u if u need those features for the extra rm300... though add another rm100 can get urself a budget 14" laptop like Compaq CQ40 with AMD Turion x2 and HD 3200...

Oh okey.
Hmm, my budget is below RM1500 only. Looks like the 10v suits me well.

Share about ur experiences?
Acer not good?Talk about this.

Hey,

I need some recommendation for laptop,
budget around 2.5-3k .

Laptop clearance deal,
Dell XPS™ M1530 , online price RM2999.

(no promotion)Dell Inspiron™ 1427, online price RM2799

Anyone can recommend better? or any shop that sell this way cheaper or such.

Hurm,
I guess I'll cancel XPS, the design looks bad.
Im into gaming, that's for sure, but desktop is better for that.
Studio? Er, is that good?
Difference between Studio and Inspiron?
Well, im thinking either getting it by this month it post-pone it till next month for promotion value and stuff.

in terms of market...

Inspiron -> Value
Studio -> Mainstream
Studio XPS -> Performance
XPS, Alienware -> Enthusiast

Studio 15 with HD 4570 is a very impressive machie i ve to say... it can handle many new games with decent settings...

an alt to Studio 15 is Asus F81Se...

Studio 15 has the best specs for 3k below

Price the same, hard to choose
Fuh, the inspiron got better graphics right? But smaller screen.
Anyone can explain the purple thingy?

Urm actually the Studio 15(HD4570) has a much better GPU than the Inspiron(9300M GS)

That purple thingy is the processor

@hisayam. No, the studio is better in terms of performance. reason why its the same price, is because of size, as things get smaller or bigger, they get more expensive. So you see, the 15" is around the cheapest for a laptop price. Also the studio has better resolution.

anyways, to break it down...
Processor
Intel® Centrino® Processor Technology- Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T6400 (2GHz)?? What does this mean? (this is the processing speed, higher better, aim for around 2.4GHz is my advice)
Operating system
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic* (i rather go for OEM Premium)
Memory
2GB Dual-channel DDR2 SDRAM? (that's just RAM, more ram better performance, go for 3GB, is enough.)
Monitor
15.6” HD WLED Display with TrueLife™
Hard Drive
250GB* Hard Drive
Optical Drive
Slot Load DVD Burner* ?? (just a dvd drive, but is slot, means no tray pop out, is insert the disc, like car one. I find it cool so i like.... but i heard that it spoils.... ask dell studio 15 tread)
Graphic Card
256MB ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4570 (hm.... i rather go for the 512MB)

I went online and choose, P8600 2.4GHz processor, 512 HD4570, 3GB ram, and now got promo for free upgrade to 320 GB, around 3.6K... (oh yea, i choose backlit keyboard and the faster hdd ie. the 7200rpm one.....)

I know Blu-ray is optional..

need recommendation as what laptop should buy

brand : suggest me 1
budget : <4K
usage : businesss use that needs built in Serial port
size : 14-15"


my job need a laptop that use serial port, anyone can suggest? really hard to find one

seriously, serial and parallel ports have been replaced by USB...

u may ve better luck looking for serial-USB converters...

but unfortunately most of all the serial-usb converters are not that stable in the market. . ~ hope u good luck ^^

That's why.. most of the serial-usb converters are not that stable

i think u can buy business notebook like hp or fujitsu ..
then buy a docking station with serial port ...
that it will be better i guess .. ^^

1. Brand. HP, Toshiba
2. Budget. Within 6k
3. Specs. 4G ram, 500GB memory, above 2.0 GH, Gforce nvidia 9400
4. Size. 15"

I have give thought about Macbook but I am worry that a lot of software especially games will be incompatible with it. Is there any solution to this?
