Well not really though.

I had 2 working colleagues of mine who wanted to get themselves a personal laptop and need me to be their adviser. ( I feel like a V.I.P somehow)

Anyway I’ve been going through the lists of brochures from all the booths ….. and boy it’s hard to make a decision, mind you.

Normally I will narrow down to 3 models based the value-for-money criteria due to the fact my friends aren’t gamers and they are basically getting a new notebook for surfing for office work purposes.

I had to bring my 3 year old son along on that day which were packed with enthusiastic buyers gunning for the bargain items on display. Then after much research I had recommended both my friends the NEC E6300 notebook.

Check out the specs below:-

Intel Centrino Duo CPU processing at 2.0GHz, 160GB of Hard disk space, 3GB Ram (after free upgrade), 2.0 megapixels in-built webcam, Bluetooth and Wireless (G) networking built-in, interactive touchpad & hotkeys, DVD-Dual Layer built in and it comes with Windows Vista Home Premium operating system.

Well the shock part is, this 14.1 inch notebook that weighs about 2.38kg cost about SGD$1499.

And that’s not all, apart from its white-leathery finishing on the back of the LCD, it comes together with freebies such as cleaning kit, an optical mouse, a NEC laptop bag and a free one-year subscription of Norman anti-virus.

I’m pleased that my friends were happy on that day, and why not they got a steal of a deal!

My son and I also enjoy the atmosphere very much on that day ….. and it’s been quite an experience.

When you hop around any computer stores this coming weekend, you will see the great graphic displays on the notebook computer these days that weren’t there yet a few years ago.

Now with the technology of XGA (Crystal Graphics Adapter), users can experience clear and sharp images from their notebooks.

Not at my time ….. when I purchased my first notebook ….. the Twinhead Efio 12KT.

It is built on TFT LCD (64 Mb Shared) which is not color rich as the current XGA screens.

One thing to note that some these XGA graphics require more shared RAM.

What does these means to the average users?

When getting yourself a new notebook, i saw a lot of users blinded by the features, cost and looks of a notebook computer.

Who doesn’t ?

Its utterly normal when you go to the shopping mall or any electronics trade fairs that the first things the sales people will show you are the features, the cost and the looks.

But what about the size?

I’ll be very frank to tell you that size does matters…

Why?

The bigger the notebook (example a 15.4 widescreen notebook LCD), the heavier it gets.

Unless you using the notebook computer as a desktop replacement which will remain at one location at your home …. then a 15.4 or a 17 inch notebook will suit you fine.

Imagine going to one place to another carrying a 17 inch notebook computer on your shoulders! Damn!

So remember….. size does matters when you buy a notebook. Till next time folks …… Rock Forever…….
