Due to the bad comments about HP DV9000 series which cost at 3.2k, I decided to strike that off and now leads me to deciding between Dell’s Inspiron 9400 and Asus F3J.

haa... every laptop got its own problem. technology things is whether u are lucky or not. it all depends on the source of production of the device. acer, sony, toshiba, ibm, any other brands each will also hv problem. dell is one of them which produces one of the best business class lappie n desktops, i.e. D820. getting sony i also scared its battery will explode. getting lenovo i also scared too many shocks will spoil the notebook. not trying to defend dell, but i am seeing where i can put my money best to get the best system
