Topic: Advice on this notebooks

Hi, which is better in terms of performance and cost? I'll use it in office works and Need for Speed, NBA Live 2007 and perhaps the latest games at 800x600, 16bit only. I'm satisfied with that. I will go to Dubai within a month so I'm worried with the warranty if I bought it here. Mas ok ba na dun na lang ako bumile. Kaso hustle pag-install ng mga softwares especially games.

1. Php40000, ECS, Pentium M 2mb, ATIX700 128mb, 512ddr, 80PATA HD, DVDRW, 15.4" Napansin ko wala itong model na ito sa ecs website. Ano ito inassemble ng pc store? Kung oo, ok ba ito?

2. Php37000, Blue, Pentium M, ATI9700 256mb, 512 ddr, 80SATA HD, CDRW/DVDROM, 15.4" (Note: 2 unlit pixels on the upper left hand screen)

3. Php46000, ECS, Pentium M 2mb, ATI9700 128mb, 512 ddr, 80PATA HD, DVDRW., 15.1" (BAT KAYA MAS MAHAL ITO SA ITEM #1?, same store naman)

4. Php39000, ECS, Pentium M 1mb, ATI9700 128mb, 512 ddr. 80PATA HD, DVDRW., 15"

5. Php43000, MSI, Core duo (2mb), X200 128mbshared, 512ddr2 80 HD, DVDRW, 14.1"

Tama ba na piliin ko item # 1 kase mas bago ang X700? Or yung item # 5 dahil core duo na sya at ddr2?

Tama ba na i-upgrade ko na sa 1gb and ram para sa future, mga up to 3 years from now? At para di ma void ang warranty pag sa iba ako nagpakabet. Kung may isusugest kayo na laptop wag lang mababa sa 512mb at wag integrated ang videocard. Pakirecommend.

Maraming salamat.

pentium M inuumpisahan na nila iphase out just like celeron m, y r u still considering old models with a 1 core, ung #5 core duo na Centrino and is the latest cpu for low cost pcs, X200 pa ang vga mo, tapos DDR2 na(kc ung iba ddr lang) the obvious choice for me is number 5 but its ur money so the final choice is up to u, if iniisio mo "in the future" mas matagal pa buhay ng core duo

Pre yung item #1 ATI X700 yun kaso Pentium M lang, walang panama ang ATI X 200 na core duo di ba. Mostly di ko ako magmumulti-task, ex. running NBA while downloading torrents. Di ba mauutiliza mo lang core duo pag multi-tasking at kapag supported na ng games ang multi-threading?

Ipagpapalet mo ba sa Pentium M na AtiX700 ito?

[bodieph]

i will choose the last one over the pentium M ATI700 for the following reasons

DDR2
DVD writer
Core duo (true dual core as compared to pentium M which only simulates dual core)
SATA hard drive
wireless

ok na kahit alang video card total laptop lang naman. hindi mo naman siguro gagamitin pang gaming yan

[Shadow_Brainiac]

kahit brand bro wag lang ecs medyo disposable ang brand na to. Ako until i have an ibm thinkpad laptop p4 1.8ghz, second hand ko lang nabili sa price na 18thou

Di pag gaming (NBA, Need for Speed, new games) mas mahalaga ang graphics card (ati x700 dedicated vs ati x200 shared) kaysa sa ram (ddr vs ddr2) at sa processor (pentium m vs. core duo).

Ok i revised my setup:

Pent M1.6  + 1GBDDR + ATIX700dedicatd

OR

Core duo 1.6 + 512mbDDR2 + ATIX200share
