acer is good for performance and quality. but have to depend on which model u choose. dell is purely no quality.

asus is quality, but no performance. also very expensive


so if u want to buy, buy acer

I don't really like Dell's design at this point of time..

So I'll go with the Acer.. Unless you got more cash to spare, then go with Asus.

ACER 8200 series laptop has ATI Mobility™ Radeon® X1600 with up to 512MB HyperMemory™ 256MB of dedicated graphics memory + another 256mb taken from system memory (only if required).. e ram is already at 1GB.. N it costs $4000.....

ACER 1690 series has ATI Mobility Radeon X700 with 256MB of external DDR video RAM.....It costs $2900.....

well..... If u are into the gaming.... I would suggest u tat buy the ACER or HP laptop, don buy the DELL.... they just sux at it.......

u compare this 3 brands..depends on which model against which model.

but for me i would choose asus, then acer, then dell. btw, asus all notebooks having 2 yr global warranty. meanwhile i don trust dell's warranty.

What I like about Asus is it's weight vs performance... it's able to obtain performance with lightweight...

Meanwhile, Acer is value for money. You pay less, you get more. Quality, not much comments.

I never liked Dell. So no comments.

HP - Compaq is good. After sales is good too.

For example a laptop rite? if i were to buy at e shop and the specs of it is 1gb ram.. Can i ask em to upgrade to a 2gb? or i have to buy outside myself?

edit: or can i nego wif em for a free upgrade? is there such a service?

if i nt wrong, core duo only works effectively for 64bit applications. for standard 32bit applications (now), it is not that effective.

Anyway Compaq HP hasnt' launched any Core Duo noteoboks yet at the moment. 1 notebook that fits your needs would b the B2800 series from Compaq. Comes with ATi X600 256MB HypMem..shud be enough for you. 14" BrightView Screen... and weight at 1.9kg

haha quite pricey to do a upgrade to 2gb...
considering 1x 1gb is more expensive than 2x 512mb..

ya lol.... It is also the newest features which is the support of DDR2 ram... which mean, u cant purchase the 1GB DDR ram, u will need 2 purchase the 1GB DDR2 ram if u want tp upgrade the ram.....

u can put in 1x 1gb inside .. but it will lose out in terms of performance... ddr2 requires 2 ram stick to work well.. to obtain 2gb .. must do a 2 x 1gb

yupz i went SLS today and ask and i now 80% ready to buy a Asus A6JA ba. at 2892+199 if i nv rem wrongly haha.. for 2gig ram.

Asus good for design. But they specialize in motherboards not notebooks. If u say acer or dell they really do these kind of branded computers.
Acer better for features and design... Dell specs not that good. But price is reasonable. Their warranty also very complicated. Got some cheap models only 90 day warranty.

Actually i already set my mind b4 to get a Dell I9400.. den tink n tink after many ppl tell me tat dell is direct marketing n no shops or any other affiliates in SG to service or get e parts.. Can only buy or order n Cust Service frm e website.. den i abit sianz liaoz... Scared if got prob.. hard to solve.. so might as well pay abit more for e after sales service
