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?..
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.
Agreed, I might even go for a Dell for my next notebook if the other brands don't improve on their service and support here! :grrr: And for an IBM with a specs that's what I need at the minimum, it's going to cost me at least RM8K! die standing man. Maybe I'll look at a Fujitsu this time around.. Hmmmm
Yup, very good. It took them just one day to on-site support. One of my user just have her motherboard changed today!
Lol what problems have you experienced with NEC? My friend has 2 of them; amongst other things he complains about the fan noise
Well... I have one and it's great so far. Actually I haven't much experience with NEC. But I wouldn't recommend it, except if you buy it from Japan coz the QA there is tighter.
after a huge argument between me and my gf (she want an apple G4 iBook) we buy an Acer Aspire 5542NWXMi for RM 3500.. the specs are: Intel Core Duo processor T2300 (65nm) (1.66GHz, 667 Mhz FSB, 2MB L2 cache) 14.1" WXGA CrystalBrite LCD Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 60GB HDD 5400rpm DVD-Super Multi double layer (Support DVD+R Double Layer/ DVD+-RW) 512MB DDR2 (support dual-channel) 802.11 a/b/g wireless LAN here some pic: shot taken using Nikon D50.. dunno where the dust come from..
Heh! congrats with the notebook. the price is good for the specs u've got. And like phok said, close one eye at the service.
the first thing i notice with this 65nm technology is there is almost no heat at all.. put it on my lap for almost 1 hour just feel warm.. or maybe its my lap.. and its noiseless too.. the cpu exhaust fan, i haven't notice it spin because of heat.. on the same day me and my gf bought this, i have to setup two other laptop (one is Compaq Presario V4000T and one is BenQ whatever ).. and the speed different is huge .. i haven't tweak the registry yet.. the windows login bar was running for one time only.. (the black screen with WindowsXP word on it).. hard for me to see other laptop running that fast around.. or maybe i haven't working with a laptop for a long time.. and one more question, is intel core duo is 64bit? cannot find in intel website that tells me about it..
Wah.. Damn nice!!!! Wish I could afford a new laptop too. Forget about 64-bits. You don't need it unless you need more than 4GB of RAM!! Seriously, I would worry more about the graphics processor, rather than the 64-bit capability of any GPU. When Vista comes along, you will need a 3D graphics processor of sufficient power to fully support its features.
