when it comes to laptop model selection, i suck.. dunno which one to choose.. my GF want to buy a new laptop around RM 3000 maybe can strech it to RM 3500-4000 but right now just stick to the RM 3000 budget first.. she asking me about apple powerbook and how much it will cost and as for my preference i prefer non apple product as it easy for me to maintain.. so any all around purpose laptop that is good for almost everything?..

Apple Powerbook starts at around 1200 USD.

no idea about apple notebook but with rm4k i doubt you can get a decent apple laptop. Ibm is good on laptop follow by dell.

With 3.5k, I think you can get a pretty decent dell already. For me, it's quite ok for office work, but definitely not game.

I believe dell has good service support in Malaysia too right? heard many good things about it from friends in penang..easy on the budget too

I heard that Dell's very loose on their QA and testing, that's why they need a strong technical support.
