Well, I have decided that I will consider buying a notebook instead of a new desktop. I'm a windows user, so I am still deciding on these two notebooks, the compaq presario C702TU and the Acer Aspire 4315.

My budget is 30k pesos and both fit my budget.

I would like to buy acer aspire because it is so shiny and so beautiful, however it costs 30k. However, I also like the compaq because not only it cost 27k but for the additional 3k I can probably upgrade on memory and it is much faster. Though Acer Aspire comes with Vista and for Compaq, it is only DOS, I am not a big fan of it because Vista is a bit slow right now (1 GB of RAM is not enough to run all the graphics), and frankly, I can install my own OS since I have licensed installers of my own.

Basically, its a question between beauty and power.

    hm...you don't have the option of a sony vaio, huh? that's a shame. i'm not crazy about compaq, myself--they always used to use stupid, proprietary stuff, like drive rails of all things.

    i know little about acer--they don't have much presence in the US but i understand they're huge in asia.

    for how long do you anticipate being able to use a new laptop?

    Sony vaio here in the Philippines is sooo expensive. Yup, here in the Philippines, most computers are now bundled with Vista nowadays and with a greater cost. Such a shame because as a programmer, I would really like to be given the freedom of being able to choose the OS that I would like to use.

    Acer is quite huge in asia specially in our country.

    I was thinking 3 years at most. My last laptop lasted for about 5 years.

    Cheers
