I don't know who send their Acer in every week for repairs. That person is either siao, or he abuses his laptop. Although one can repair the laptop for free during the warranty period, it doesn't mean Acer will grant you this right if you are going to visit them every week. -

i think u better buy the acer 1..i brough the acer from np..and its very fast and works well..not to mention that the hard disk is the best offer to us..humm..but if u think u dont wan so much hard disk space..then go for IBM cos it offer u the cheapest upgrade of ram..which is only like cheaper a little bit..not worth the money..
so IMO acer better and cheaper -
acer..quite okla...got hardware issues...but quite ok...their service support kinda good
IBM very robust....kinda ex though.....i'd recommend the T60...workhorse...
acer....to me..abit unprofessional...but i like the graphics card in their media center versions of xp...
I wouldnt recommend vista yet...cos most of them onli offer vista home premium...
if u die die want vista....business or ultimate.....
plus dual booting vista and xp is a chore...very troublesome when starting out....
if it was me....and if u have a credit card....
but the ferrari....2998...at harvey norman......0% installment free at 83 bucks a month
kinda good....bling bling...but the keyboard and touchpad build...wears out after heavy usage.... -

Thinkpad have always been a desirable product.Originally posted by TYING:Im thinking of getting this. Can anyone offer their opinions cause im a laptop idiot.

However, only if you're not concerned about dedicated GFX card and slightly older specs.
I notice some disappointing parts in this model.
No trackpoint, which is the 'Key' of why Thinkpad is Thinkpad. Now the key is gone. It's like anyother notebooks. Battery life is not on par with standard. If possible, get a 6 Cell Battery.
Nonetheless, it's a ultraportable.
Upgrade up to 2gb Ram! -
i tell u my storyOriginally posted by TYING:Is lenovo a good laptop?
And i also heard tt accer every week have to sent for repairs.
i got an acer aspire 5500z laptop, hav been using it for one year
single core with media accelerator 900 only, nt a v gd laptop. 512MB RAM.
"abused" by me. on 12 hrs a day (in sch plus at home,but at home i put on cooling pad). mainly for sch work, but i do play need for speed most wanted ( a bit lag though, due to graphic) n proevolution soocer 6 sometimes. and i am a music fan, so most of the time music is switched on.
once, i quarrelled with my gf (on msn), den i slammed my whole laptop from my desk to the floor (my hse floor is granite floor), i tot die liao, but in the end still working perfectly fine.
another time, i brought my laptop to JB to my relative hse to play. den when come back to spore (u noe need to put in xrays machine), i dunnoe why, i go drop my laptop on the floor, from the height of abt 1.7m. omfg....the side casing was a bit dented...but internal component was running alright and good!...and LCD screen didnt crack (heng ar).....a few days later, i realise the case bracket was broken, so i send it to acer repair, 20 bucks (coz dropping of laptop is nt covered in warranty)...but harrdisk and internal stuff are still in v gd condition......so wad do u think?...
acer laptop is nice, but more prone to scratches.....hmm.....mine dropped twice, but no significant scratches though. -
i still think it's better to buy laptop from outside.
asus/hp would be good. -
What is think pad and the function of it? And yar, for $88 i can upgrade to 2gb ram. Den can purchase another batt for it?
This model is $1853.25. -

but if buy frm outside it would be more ex and also the poly might not have the technical support for it, er, hear frm others, issit?Originally posted by gigabyte14:i still think it's better to buy laptop from outside.

actually for me, i dunnoe whether true or nt, but laptop with lesser functions (my frenz who had "better" acer laptop had much more problem den my lousy cmi laptop) comes with less problem.Originally posted by M©+square:You're heng....

Thinkpad was IBM. Then Lenovo took it off.Originally posted by TYING:What is think pad and the function of it? And yar, for $88 i can upgrade to 2gb ram. Den can purchase another batt for it?
This model is $1853.25.
For a Ultraportable Notebook for 1.8k Can buy. Top up everything to get the best.
If you don't need a 12" notebook, don't buy it. -
