The old work horse overheated and I lost some of the system files. I have made back-up using Acronis so I can reload it onto a new laptop (hopefully) so I can avoid re-installing my programs and reconfiguring them.<br /><br />Anyway, I know XP probably can use only 3G RAM so I guess I don&#39;t need to overkill on the specs. My priority is reliability, price, weight and battery life. BTW, the company let me use DELL for work, so I don&#39;t want DELL unless it is XPS but for my budget is only &lt;RM2800.<br /><br />Do you guys have any recommendations for me? I am thinking of ASUS UL80vt without OS. Is that doable?<br /><br />Thanks in anticipation.<br /><br /><br /><br /> khf20 Mobile Computing Sun, 04 Apr 2010 23:16:19 +0800
