hello guys..im planning on buying new laptop.
u see..ive been using compaq presario v3119 b4 dis.n after using it for 3 years, i had to replace the mobo for 5 times and DVD drive for 2 times. and i can see a lot of ppl complaining bout it; particularly about mobo failure. after all these years, i make a vow that i wouldnt buy any compaq/hp laptop anymore. but..i cant seem to find any laptop that range below rm2000 with decent specs. well, u know..i hope i can find laptop with either nvidia or ati gc.
i wanna ask, is anyone have any prob/issue with Compaq CQ40-502AU (AMD Turion X2, Radeon HD3200)? since i have very bad experiences b4 with compaq v3119, should i buy this CQ40? can i put high expectation that CQ40 will not give the same prob i had b4? btw, i bought v3119au for RM2900 with the expectation that this laptop will not give headache to me as it was manufactured by the great HP and the price offered looks like its a high quality product, but..it made me so frustrated after 4 months purchasing it..
i would love all of otai2 here to reply bout this matter. is it a right move for me to buy Compaq CQ40-502AU? does this laptop also has overheating issue? and if anyone have better suggestions on which laptop that i should buy, pls let me know. doesnt matter whether it's acer, asus etc2. i hope to find laptop (with nvidia or ati, if possible) that cost around rm1000-1600.
Akhir kata, tq..

QUOTE(InFe_eD @ Jul 26 2009, 04:03 AM) Sorry fren, i don't think there are any laptop around 1k to 1.6k. IIRC there are an Acer at 1.7k, but with gma crap . Or Cq40 with hd3200 igp, which is 1.7-1.8k at my place. With that kind of budget, you have better luck look for a desktop instead. aww mannn.. then i guess i should increase my budget to rm2k and below. if CQ40 hd3200 is 1.8k, then i guess i should consider buying it. but is it ok for me to buy it? well i shud be extra cautious to buy new laptop bcause of previous experiences..

QUOTE(astria @ Jul 26 2009, 08:56 PM) Asus K40Ab, Asus K50Ab... both Athlon x2 with HD4570, approx. rm2099 with freedos hello fren. i think Asus K40AB is ok. however, i still think that i need ur advice/opinion on whether to choose Asus K40AB or Presario CQ40-401AX (Turion X2 RM-74, ATI HD3450). which one do you think that i should buy? ive gone through presario CQ40 thread and it seems that CQ40 also has overheating issue (correct me if im wrong). sorry..its just think that i have to be more cautious in buying a new laptop this time..

QUOTE(astria @ Jul 26 2009, 11:15 PM) still Asus K40Ab for me... for AMD CPU, the difference in cache between Athlon and Turion has little effect on performance... it's all abt speed when comes to AMD... the advantage on Turion is that it has 1 more P-state than Athlon, thus it can saves more power... but if u re one who likes to play games, u definetely will appreciate wat HD4570 can offer... naa.. though i like to play games, but my main priority is that the laptop does not have troubling issues where i need to spend more money for the sake of repairing it (not the type of laptop that can get mobo failure just after 4 months of purchasing). i hope to find a laptop that is stable and equipped with Nvidia or ATI gc with the price range around rm1500-2000...
