Starhub gave out lower end version of the retail Compaq

For example they changed the Intel pro wireless a/b/g to Boardcom
b/g while [b]using the Centrino logo(which signifies the
first)
HWZ ppls are discussing what to do.Some went to CASE,some look at
filing a suit.ALso,some people even recieved a DVD-RW drive instead
of the supposed DVD-RAM.
Example of the top of the line model that u can get with upgrade of
the free lappy:
Compaq Presario V3136TU
Core 2 Duo T5500 @ 1.66Ghz
80Gb HDD
DVD-RAM
Window XP Media Centre Edition 2005
512MB RAM
GMA 950 > 128 MB RAM[/b]
Okay i am just adding my comments based on what you have
illustrated. I have not looked over at HWZ for now yet.
The broadcom thing i don't know but they can play around with words
and how it should be interpreted.
The DVD-ram and DVD-writer is out. Bring it up to CASE if they
don't replace it with RAM for you.
The infrared port unless is part of the specification in the
notebook's user manual should or should not be included depending
on circumstance. If its clear that the model number advertised when
referenced to the computer's manufacturer webpage should have one
and they shipped a similar model without one you can approach them
and question.
A deviation in function from an computer variant should be assigned
a different part number or model number or some form of
identification. The seller should advertise the product as per that
identification to protect itself from unreasonable claims from
customers in the event of discrepant.
