budget - less than S$2,000

usage - for surfing the net, gaming as in yahoo games, sims (not counterstrike, war craft), doing some office documents, blogging, watching videos, youtube..

system requirements

- dvd rw, at least 1.66 ghz
- 512 mb ddr
- can see videos clearly

- storage system - 80 - 120 gb

- high definitation audio
- build in wireless modem
- bluetooth or infra red

these are the requirements which my fre have come out with.. not sure if it too much for me.. cos i only need the laptop for basic use.. any brands / models to recommend?

CasperX SG

under 2k?

Hp can give u 1gb ram wif the rest same or similar stats

PS: Get a bluetooth one, don't bother to use Irda

so cheap meh? where u get it? i saw the price like 2000 plus. i plan to get that too cos it damn chio.. but will it cause a lot of problems? cos vaio jus started. i don wan to take the risk..

huy SG

i saw acer on the internet too. but so many models.. very confused leh.. is it the more expensive, the better it is?

huy SG

u mean under 2000 i can get that? hp seems like more for offical use. but mine is mainly for lesiure purpose like gaming etc.. can the laptop handle that?

yea.. i getting blue tooth one. but if i cun get bluetooth one less than 2 k, then i take infra lor..

acer can extend warranty.. $300 additional for another 2 years of warranty when i bought 2 years ago.. think is worth to extend warranty unless u are those who will change laptop after 1 year..

ditzy SG

Of course the more expensive the better lar!! Laughing

huy SG

that really worth it..most prob i will take acer.. which model u choose? very confused sia.. so many models out in the mkt then i don understand the individual specs.. where u all get the laptops from? sim lim better or funan?

huy SG

haha.. pai sei.. i computer idiot..

ditzy SG

Its alright, alot of people have problems grasping that concept. Laughing

imDANIEL SG

its not that vaio just started. its the vista. vista has some bugs but you have some alternatives than xp. xps just fine as it is.

mystee SG

mine is heavy leh.. & is 2 years ago model.. i bought it at sim lim, but rem to go to only acer dealer.. mine including extended warranty is only 2K.. Laughing feel worth it. u have to know if u wil be bringin ur lappie out often, if so, rem to buy a smaller one.

rem dont go to courts to buy... my frnz bought her pc at courts.. guess what.. that year, she paid for a pentium 3.. the sticker pasted on the cpu is pentium 3, but.. when she checked the system, is only pentium 2.. Mad

huy SG

i tik xp is jus fine as it is.. cos heard that vista have lots of problems too.. but is it necessary to get Geforce?

imDANIEL SG

depends on what youre goign to do with the labtop. cuz when i bought my vaio i paid lil more for much better video card. mines ati, but its hard to switch video cards or ull fuck it up.

huy SG

i only nid it to surf the net, msn, blogging, playing yahoo games or sims, doing some documents work, watching videos and listening to music.. so i don nid a super duper laptop.. thaty i set my budget as under 2000 bucks.. so asking if anyone have any laptop models to recommend..

imDANIEL SG

Vaio Very Happy .
