As a student, Laptop is an important things which every students basically own it. However, my lappy just broken down for 2 times. How sad. I am just using it for about 2 and half years. Sad and sad. It is a gift from my parents before entering University.
So, I decided to see other computer engineer. For the first time broken down, I have sent it to the shop. What's the problem? He said, motherboard. He told me, even if I repaired it, it cant last long. Most of his customers, using the same brand with me, same problem; that's what will happen.
So, this time around. I went to another shop. I just want to know the solution from another engineer. So, I met Uncle SEKAI. I don't know his name. But, his shop is SEKAI. That's why I call him Uncle SEKAI. ;)

Uncle Sekai: Ya, what can I help you?
I: I just want to know what is my laptop's problem. Before this, it had broken down also. About two months ago. Now, it happens again.
Uncle Sekai: Ok. Let me see. (with showing his talent)
I: ( I just watching him did his jobs)
Uncle Sekai: You are using AMD. Wah, now, I don't use AMD anymore in this shop.
I: Why uncle? Does AMD not good enough?
Uncle Sekai: Waa, AMD is good. It can make the laptop runs faster. But, it can't cope with high temperature la. It can't cope very well with high heat. Then it will make your laptop hanked or jammed.
I: Oo I see.

That's what I got from my meeting with Uncle Sekai. Thanks a lot Uncle. He also recommend me with several brand of laptop. However Uncle, I need to seek many advices to get the best one. I don't want the same thing happens again.
So, next. I emailed my MIS' lecturer. (Management Information System). He has many experience on stuff like these. He is IS (Information System) people. Mr. Yusno Yunos. Proud to be one of his student. A very nice lecturer. Wink. ;)
This is what he said.
All that really matters when you are searching for a laptop is actually your budget. How much are you willing to spend for this new laptop? From there I can suggest few good models. Most of the laptops nowadays come with Windows 7 and the speed is normally fast enough for you to do you normal college work.
If you are thinking to spend anywhere between RM 2000 and RM 3000, then I'd suggest you go for either Dell or HP laptops. They are the good mid-range models. If you are looking for slightly better mid-range models, then go for ASUS (which is the one that I'm currently using). I bought it for 3k 6 months ago and the specs are pretty good and quite high. (500gb HD, intel core i5 2.27GHz, ATI radeon graphic card 1gb, 4gh RAM, Win 7 64 bit).
See? First and foremost, in terms of budget. Ya it should be the first thing to be considered isn't? In addition, it is better to have original OS.
He said,
To ensure the OS installed is original, look for the original windows sticker with serial numbers at the bottom of your laptop. If you wanna buy Dell laptop, just buy online from www.dell.com.my to ensure you get the original OS and the right customer support for 1-3 years. If you wanna buy it from LowYat or Digital Mall, choose a store that says Authorised Dealer.
So, people, what else that I must know before buy a new one? Tell me. I am really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. ;)
