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....

haha... why is this?? i my self am a intel fanboy, but 1st time buying a laptop... and i'm quite sure even though intel is winning the CPU race... AMD gives a good fight...and futhermore the price difference is very more than marginal...haha rclxms.gif

Asus K40Ab is the latest king of performance:price ratio in the rm2k segment... Athlon x2 QL64 with HD4570...

for AMD CPU, by performance is somewhere between Pentium Dual Core and C2D T6000 series, depending on the clock speed...
wat's wrong with AMD CPU??? It's still a x86 CPU which runs windows and progrms fine...

the clock speed if not mistaken 2.0Ghz,...
i shall try looking for the asus K40Ab...
do they sell it online??
