因為將來妹妹會有極多「至關重要」的工作需要在PC 上執行，之前曾想過索性換iMac G5又或是叫她買PowerBook，再行Virtual PC，但考慮到表現會很差(聞說只會發揮40% 功力)，而且家裡再多一部電腦會更方便，也因為妹妹那些工作是至關重要，非用不可，所以只好買PC notebook。市面上琳瑯滿目，價錢又不便宜(簡直是離譜！閒閒地相等如一部12″ PowerBook)，真是不知從可入手，如果大家有甚麼心水牌子或推介不妨留言相告，不勝感激。

只要別買Acer，你會少一點煩惱~ Trust Me!

My laptop/notebook is Fujitsu S series, small, light, good looking and powerful, but also quite expensive ($14000) and it’s already an older model…I used my profit made from HSBC to buy it.
If you just want a cheap notebook, then don’t look at brands, if you want branded ones, then don’t look at the price, the two are mutually contradicting…
Anyway, if that PC notebook only ever stays at home, then I will suggest buying a PC instead: It’s SO SO much cheaper to get some guy in mongkok to build you one then to buy a notebook; however, if your sister is thinking about moving it around, then you may have to look for branded but older models (like I did), which is obviously cheaper, I believe that old IBM models are quite cheap (and ugly). Expect $10000 - $15000 even for back models.

On the other hand, if you can find those shops which does student deals (it’s coming to august, so they will still have them), then they will most likely sell NEC laptops at below $10000, maybe you want to have a look at those as well.
One finaly note: no Samsung, or you will regret it, it’s as fragile as a little goldfish.

正如SamWong所言，千祈千祈千祈記住記住記住唔好買Acer！另外，我ｄ朋友每次買富士通同Sony．都最後壞機收場。
我自己用緊IBM X40，雖然是非常輕，但是跑program就幾慢，ｘ系列機比較好用的是X31。我諗，IBM T系列同NEC既機，都可以考慮考慮。

Hi I am a stranger to you.
If you don’t mind the look, IBM and Dell would be a good choice. Both of the companies have excellent world wide after-sell services.
If you would like to have a desktop replacement
IBM ThinkPad T43 HK$12,688 or Dell Inspiron 6000 HK$6,099
otherwise
IBM ThinkPas X41 HK$13,988 or Dell Inspiron 700m HK$6,299

多謝各位！！！
剛才又去看看，我打算買Dell，因為美軍都用！！！而且價錢和規格都okay，最緊要是Dell 是蘋果最大的競爭對手，想想，它竟然有能力跟蘋果一爭長短，真是不得了呀！但是Dell 一定要在網上買，對不？在Dell 的online store 看過，無乜信心喎，搵個電話問下都無，壞機又不知到那裡維修，好像很麻煩。

Dell vs Apple? Hehe, haven’t heard that before XD, maybe you want to tell me about it, because that’s not what I’ve heard…
For some reason, Dells are quite slow at ruuning programs as well, although I didn’t know if there’s something wrong with Dells in general or just that computers…

I know nothing about PC notebook. However, talking about DVD ripping (and if you want your end product to be DiVX, H.264 etc, not another DVD), nothing simplier than Handbrake.

Well, as a Dell user, I would have to comment that Dell is not very spectacular on performance, and price is the main selling point of them. Their customer service is pretty adequate, though.
