Any ideas for a new laptop?

Thanks for your advise. But my current Windows laptop may not last long i suppose. It gives me a lot of problem. I have been reformatting few times as it often shutdown by itself or cannot switch on. Even if i can download the applications through my Windows laptop, but i cannot transfer the application to Macbook, because Macintosh or Linux does not support anything from Microsoft. =(

Linux is far different from windows. I like linux because it's not pron to any viruses. Maybe the virus not supported by their system

Yup, that is true. Linux are not prone to virus attack or being hacked. Mostly Windows and Microsoft are more vulnerable to virus attack. Hence, we always need antivirus, malware, spyware and defender to protect the computer from being attack by all these. =D One advantage of Linux is that they do not share their applications widely, they only can support applications for their own type. Troublesome, but safer.

Yes, I have owned three Dell laptops. All home used. yes, Compaq and HP are pretty much the same. Dell holds up better I am thinking.

Hi celticeagle, nice one. 3 laptops all for yourself? One for game, one for work, one for studies, another new one you want to get is for? Hahaha...just kidding. So, you are planning to get an Inspiron model for yourself anytime soon? Woot?! HP company using Dell computers? Are they not liking their own HP brand? Well, i have a Samsung gadget, and i went to Samsung service center for some warranty issue, i saw their customer service are all using Samsung computers. Wonder why HP does the opposite...Even if they do not use HP, they can choose Compaq, since they bought over Compaq. But i have come across Compaq to be a very lousy brand, their stuff is not long lasting. My friend bought a Compaq laptop, the next day it gives problem. .

Yeap, overall durable and quality wise, Dell is still standing high in the market. Wow, can i say you are a Dell laptop fan? I have a friend who purchased every single Apple gadgets, regardless iPhone, iPad, iPod, Macbook...you name it, he has it. He is really crazy fan of Apple and buy all versions for collection. =D But i supposed you really buy it for proper use. =)

Thanks for your caution! I almost forget i need one which can supports pressure. That is a good point. I knew it, somehow or rather i did find something from this discussion. =) Yes, i will need for work. I am not a gamer, so i do not need any special graphic card with super speed, but a faster processor will be good for me. But the lighter the laptop is, the more expensive it is. However, still researching for the best.

Hi rog, thanks a million for your kind offer. Yes, i live far from you, and not really a good idea on the shipping process to get my laptop repaired. I have reformatted my laptop myself for like more than 10 times, i think. Besides, i did send it for warranty twice already, and got a new harddisk changed. But i prefer to get a new one to avoid sudden crash again, without any notice to me. Currently i am having all my backups in another external harddisk after facing sudden crash from my first experience. Currently my laptop RAM size is 4GB, Intel Core i5 @ 2.27Ghz. Previously i have a friend using AMD, but her computer gets heat up easily. Hence, i do not prefer to get AMD for myself, worrying that i may face the same problem. But later on i bought AMD motherboard and processor for gaming purpose for my brother. Overall performance was not bad. Maybe i can give it a try. Oh really?? Lenovo is that good now? This is something new to me. Yes, i have seen their laptops exhibition and quite competitive. But least that i know Lenovo is such trendy in Philippines. Maybe next round i should pay attention to Lenovo brand because previously Lenovo in our country is not famous and popular.

Although the two models are pricey, I believe they are premium and much durable than your laptop right now and also Dell are trusted brand worldwide. Have a nice evening! Ciao!

Thanks, romzee! Appreciate them very much. Oh yes, i have a model here for your advise. What do you think of Toshiba Notebook (Model: Satellite Pro L830-2006)? I heard this is the current fastest speed in the market in my country. But maybe this is already out for sometime in other countries. Well, this is Core i7 too. What do you think? =)

Hi romzee, thank you very much for the recommendation. Yup, the better one would be Intel Core i7, or Macintosh/Linux. Definitely i will get more information of the two models you said above. That would narrow down my scope of research. =) Cheers!

Thanks for your respond and appreciate it. I suppose there are quite a lot of experienced members in this field. Well, i have knowledge in formatting computers, purchasing component parts and fix them myself into a CPU unit, and selecting appropriate software depending on needs, and even by looking at the specifications, i can understand what kind of computer or laptop is it. I mentioned that i have not went to PC exhibition for quite some time as i am no longer active, but i still do have understanding in gadgets. Hence, through members advise and some latest updates about current new highlights would enable me to search for it particularly to see whether it meets my need. There are many different sizes, features and models in the market, but with the experience of the members here will reduce my scope of searching.

Yes, thanks for your suggestion. Are you keen in getting a new laptop for yourself? Or currently which brand and model are you using?
