I ordered a Dell notebook model-named Inspiron 8600. It has an Intel Centrino 1.6GHz processor with 1MB L2 cache memory, 40GB 2.5-inch hard disk drive, 24x CD-ROM drive, 15.4-inch LCD monitor with up to 1920x1200 resolution, 9-cell battery, etc. The price tag is about 1.9 million Korean Won, excluding VAT.
This is my fifth notebook I buy this year but it will arrive in early January 2004 from Dell's Malaysia lines. Though I have bought four notebooks this year, only one is for my own use, the second notebook is for my wife, the third for my younger brother, and the fourth for a friend who helps me in a lot of things on a voluntary basis. The Dell I will use for watching HDTV and browsing web because of its 1920x1200 resolution. This PC right now I'm using has just 1024x768, made by NEC in Japan, powered by Intel Pentium 4 1.8GHz processor. Nearly three times difference.
Big thanks to everyone who helped create this ultra-high resolution LCD panels for notebook computers. The quality cannot match that of the latest 23-inch and 24-inch LCD monotors from LG and Samsung - a lot more expensive - but I hope I'll be satified for some time.
