Try a notebook like the above. Know the graphics and processor power requirements of CAD software and games and searh for the hardware that has them.

get panasonic toughbook.
sure can last.
drop dunno how many stories aso wun spoil

IBM specs aren't as good as any other brands that I know of.

But if you want it to last, IBM is the way to go. Nothing lasts longer than IBM in my experience (except Macs)

kenn3th SG

design wise , IBM has been Owned

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Last long without knocks.

And it's guarantee to last before warranty ends. If yours happen the other way round, it's one of bad batches.

Mine happens to be, though majority of my friends aren't affected. Sad

IBM wins on how long their product can last. A very big attraction to customers. I don't think you fancy changing this, repairing that when you get your laptop within the first 3 months? Laughing

WEll, thanks for the reviews guys.

From Wad I know, Acer laptops are quite flimsy. Dell are cheap, but once spoilt, they have to be sent back to Penang to repair. Sony is a good brand that I was looking at, maybe you guys can recommend me some models? BTW, do you guys think it's wise to buy now or buy during the next computer fair?

kenn3th SG

eh, nxt year, cause it will have the vista operating system, which is better then those capable ones, as capable ones are still those that run best in xp so if i were you, i would wait till nxt year

it pays to wait

Yea, from experience, dont get an acer.
u can consider a Fujitsu too, they last long and they are normally of high standards and quality

First of all, you gotta ask yourself, do you really need a laptop?the same amount of money can be better spent on a desktop and you can save some money in the process too.If you are really intent on looking for a powerful yet value for money laptop, the ASUS A6J is a good bet Wink

acwire_2125 SG

I really do need a laptop, I already have a very powerful desktop to perform multiple task.

kenn3th SG

cheap:
Acer (not really good, due to workman ship problems)
Dell

Reliable:
HP (sturdy built to last and processor maybe quite laggy when doin multi tasks)
Fujitsu (good quality and quick, battery life is v-good)
Sony (reliable and good, but battery concerns may question the quality issue)
Asus
Toshiba
IBM (Most reliable and has the highest life span)

Well, I’ll rule out HP cause for the same specs, I can get a Compaq with the same specs cause they are under the same company. I looking into the other brands am espcially interested in Toshiba, Sony and Asus. MAybe you guys can tell me more on these brands.

ceecookie SG

get the Compaq Presario V3132TU..its 2k from HP sg webbie.
Its nice,comes with Core 2 Duo,14" widescreen HD LCD screen and Media centre.U should also get free Vista upgrade.

Refer to the infrared thread in IT support forum for detailed spec.
the Starhub 3136 and 3132 is identical,but the latter is not affected by the lower spec incident

acwire_2125 SG

I dun quite prefer Compaq cause I used to work with them and relisase taht their Laptop are charged at a high price with a low specs.

orionlight SG

We have listed all all the possible brands and models, now the choice is yours.Go down to funan and take a look at which model which interest you, after all, you are the one using the laptop, not us.So don’t expect us to keep on spoon feeding you, you got to do your own homework and make the choice yourself

acwire_2125 SG

Hey guys, I was looking at Asus W3J-, Do you think a smaller screen would be better or one with a larger screen?

Farmerseed SG

You say you using it for Autocad so what do you think? Small or large or wide? DO you prefer to play BF2 in a smaller screen or a larger screen? Do you want portablility and a more compact mobile computing device?
