Yeah i agree go get a Macbook... Best of both worlds... You can get WinXP or Vista AND Mac OS...

and btw... Asus makes the Macbook Pros... Foxconn makes the Macbook yata... or could be the other way around...

[lolo pepe]

Sony Vaio.

I'd go for Toshiba as my top pick followed by IBM, Dell, and Mac. At the end of the day make sure you get something which hopefully will still be good enough a year or 2 down the line.

Specs I'd get would include the ff.
1. Intel Core 2 Duo (2 ghz)
2. Memory at least 1 Gig
3. Intel chipset 950
4. 80 gig hard drive with 7200 rpm
5. Top of the line LCD panel
6. DVD writer

medyo OT: Protective cover sa the notebook keyboards:

di ba palaging narurumihan ang keyboard ninyo dahil sa alikabok, bread crumbs, crawling insects dahil sa bread crumbs, at ang masama ay liquid spills -coffee, soda and water?

ang solution? naglagay ako ng clear plastic (from ziploc) over the keyboard which i secure with magic tape all around. ayun 1 year ko ng ginagamit ay malinis pa rin ang keyboard at walang problema sa mga foreign objects. bago pa rin ang keys at hindi burado. syempre every once in a while ay palit din ako ng plastic dahil lumalabo din sa kalumaan. just me.

it goes down to how much do you want to spend and what do you use it for (i.e. online, gaming, spreadsheet, video editing, etc.)

also, the notebook technology is fast evolving.. there's always a new model out every 6 months..

macbook or macbook pro. haba baterya. yan bibilhin ko susunod, I only have an ibook as of now pero dream ko yan.

screen ratio? 16:9 na kagad. widescreen mas ok. I have a widescreen Imac G5 as desktop, iba talaga pag rectangular na viewing screen, you'll never wish to go back to 4:3.

all new macbooks are in 16:9 ratio. in fact lahat na ata ng apple computers eh. 4:3 will be phased out na siguro.

[falalofasion]

hp & dell are pretty good that 2 brand is the #one top selling brand in us because its verychep compare to other brand I have one already I bought this stuff via online 3months ago its hp $1000 its quite good specially the fasion but if i buy again I go to ALIENWARE or APPLE venice

[nugundam93]

trip ko yung XPS2010. :lol:

question lang...for a laptop na may about 17" screen, core duo, at least 80GB HDD and 8x dvdrw drive, ano average cost kaya nun?

[jipi]

for a laptop gamer,

i suggest you get the acer aspire 5560. you get updated discrete videocard (ATI 1600) that has full dedicated videocard of i think 128MB or 256MB which can be increased to 512MB thru shared memory (Hypermemory). This cost around 73T. This videocard is the same used in the Macbook pro likewise its specs are quite similar (except for the ghz used in the processors)at half the price.

im using this laptop. and it really is quite fast. imho

Core Duo has been phased out. It's yesterday's news. The latest thing is Core2 Duo. Almost the same price as the Core Duo. Very little to no difference in price :-)

For business, I will go for IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads. They may be expensive and boring but I think Thinkpads are the best in terms of durability and reliability.

For fun or general computing, Macs are very nice though

Nice pics! I've been an ASUS fanboy since my first P2 motherboard, the P2L97 (LX Chipset) back in 1997.

My last 2 video cards (GF4-Ti4200, AEX800XL, both with ViVo) have been ASUS and I'd normally have ASUS motherboards, except this pc. ASUS AMD dualcore mobos were sold out at the time I assembled this pc. So I made do with an MSI. Anyway, the bundled software are decent and makes sense, typical ASUS.

As a replacement laptop for my 4-year old HP ze5270, those ASUS dualcores look nice. How's reliability of those ASUS laptops? I'm a bit hesitant still....
