Dell XPS M1530 vs. Asus C90

camm1x · 2nd February 2008, 7:59 PM

Both of these laptops are going for around the 2k mark and im wondering which one would be the best investment as I am starting uni and I want something with the performance and the features. The C90 looks better in terms of longevity due to the ease of ugrading its parts, but the Dell is fair decent competition.

Can anyone express their views and maybe recommend one of them?

You know, I reckon you cannot beat the ASUS deal currently on at Myer,

T9300 Processor (2.5Ghz) with the 9500/9500 (Not sure) 512mb graphics, 2gb ram and 200gg HDD with Vista Ultimate with tv tuner for $1800. Also comes with a bag, mouse and router.

2yrs International Warranty as well

Going to check it out tomorrow
