Buying new laptop? Need RECOMMENDATION?

Shinigami — Wed, 02 May 2007 00:19:49 +0800

Hi there...

This is a topic for EVERYBODY out there that needs special recommendation on buying a new laptop...

To request recommendation, what u need to post:

1. Brand.
2. Budget.
3. Specs.
4. Size.

Any new topic regarding recommendations shall be closed/deleted without explaination...

It's easy to be intimidated by all the laptop models on the market today. There are literally dozens and dozens in every price range.

The key to finding the right one for you is to step back and consider exactly how you plan to use your laptop. When you define what you need before you go shopping, buying the right machine becomes much easier.

Here are a few tips how to purchase such a piece of equipment.

Before buying:

Calculate with a generous budget.
Do not think about your current needs. Think about your future ones.
The device should manage all of your electronic daily needs for at least the next three years to come. It is also advisable to foresee your device as a mobile desktop replacement.
The device's usefulness is more important than its appearance which means that it must be practical and robust as opposed to being suitable for taking part in a designer competition.
Sleep the matter over again before buying.

Buying:

Take producers into consideration who have been in the laptop business for a long time and whose main line is computer production and who do not, for example, also produce refrigerators and vacuum cleaners. An advertising flyer which makes big promises at a low price is also not suitable.

The device should offer standard components which are independent of the laptop producer. This means, for instance, avoiding a graphic card from Joe Bloggs or a harddisk which fell off the back of a lorry. Good laptops contain components from IBM, INTEL, 3COM, LUCENT, CISCO etc. Remember that it might be necessary to install a new driver at a later point and this will still be available from a good producer in two years.

The device should be all-in-one which means that the DVD/CD R/W, network card, wireless LAN, analog modem, USB Version 2.x, FireWire, Bluetooth etc. are all built in. With an all-in-one device it is not possible to forget to pack in the wireless card or the bluetooth card or to leave them in the train. All in all devices with built-in components are lighter than those with separate add-ons. They are also much less likely to break down. Apart from that good robust devices do tend to be somewhat heavier than their less robust counterparts.

Floppy drives are no longer absolutely necessary for daily work and are hardly available on the market any more. Should you need one nevertheless, you can hook up an external USB drive. USB floppy drives can also boot DOS. However these days there are other possibilities for doing BIOS upgrades, backups etc.
You should choose a processor of the latest generation. Today (01.01.06) that would be an Intel Centrino Duo Mobile 2.0 GHz processor or faster (but not an Intel Celeron processor).

The harddisk should be 80 GB or more.

Today 1 GB of RAM is customary. Also think about your future needs. 2 GB of RAM (Windows Vista, Photoshop etc.) is definitely better and, what you buy right from the beginning, is much cheaper than a later upgrade.

Graphic cards with at least 64 MB of RAM (not shared) are standard in good devices. Running a large external monitor will then pose no problems whatsoever.
You should pay special attention to your choice of monitor. Many producers have allowed themselves to be persuaded to produce 15" monitors which use 1600 x 1200 pixels as their ideal resolution. Unfortunately this is not ideal for many users because the contents of the screen can hardly be read at this resolution. An ideal resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels or 1400 x 1050 pixels is better for 15" monitors.
The operating system should be Windows XP Professional SP2 (and definitely not Windows XP HOME Edition). XP Professional is only slightly more expensive but is well worth it. Make sure that you get the operating system on a separate CD and not as a 'preload' bundled together with other software. This is also valid for the drivers. (Good producers offer web pages where you can download the latest BIOS, drivers and the like.) You will then find it much easier to configure your own system. Also ask if Linux can be installed easily and whether support is available in any case. Installation of Linux is not possible on all laptops without problems. But if Linux can be installed without a great effort, you can assume that the components are good quality ones.

Conclusion:

There are endless variations you can buy. Don't hesitate to ask here. Questions don't cost anything...

MOTORAZRmaxx V6 Ferrari Challenge Limited Edition!

Shinigami — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 01:48:13 +0800

Following similar deals with other manufacturers and car companies, Motorola has today announced the availability of a Ferrari-branded Motorola MOTORAZRmaxx V6. Breaking all boundaries for long product names, this Ferrari endorsed handset is known as the MOTORAZRmaxx V6 Ferrari Challenge Mobile Phone Limited Edition.

On top of the 2.2" QVGA screen, 2.0 megapixel camera, microSD slot, and HSDPA data capability of the regular MOTORAZRmaxx V6, the new special edition includes exclusive Ferrari content and branding. A Ferrari emblem adorns the outside of the handset, a Ferrari sound effect can be heard when the handset is switched on or off, an image of the Ferrari F430's engine features on the external display, and a Ferrari background picture displays on the internal screen. There are also 30 Ferrari photos pre-installed on the handset, and a hand-made Ferrari red leather carrying case is included in the box...

Hmmm... super cool!!! will it be available here in Malaysia??? Let's pray together it will... the price??? it'll definitely be RM2000 above bcoz it's limited...

:Official Dopod 818 Pro/HTC Prophet/XDA Neo Club:

Shinigami — Thu, 02 Feb 2006 14:12:54 +0800

The Dopod 818 Pro (better known as the HTC Prophet) has officially been released. It includes a TI OMAP 850 200MHz CPU, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support, Bluetooth 2.0, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, IrDA, an SDIO/SD/MMC slot, a 2.8" QVGA (240 x 320) TFT-LCD, a 2.0-megapixel camera, and Windows Mobile 5.0. It's small, measuring in at 108mm x 58mm x 18.2mm, and weighing in at just 150g. Available in five colours - silver (shown above), black, blue, lavender, and pink (shown below), the Dopod 818 Pro is now available through select distributors and resellers at an RRP of RM2400.

Undeniably, this device has a lot going for it, though some of you might grimace at the choice of CPU (OMAP fans, don't flame me - I know the CPU still works well - most of the time, anyway).

So here's the official thread for discussion... Enjoy your stay.
