HK is slightly cheaper for electronics. They do not have 5% GST like us.
Which notebook you get depends on your purpose.
If you need light and mobility, get a light notebook 1.2kg - 2.2kg
If you need memory intensive, you may want to get a faster processor e.g. Centrino and higher RAM e.g. single card DDR 512mb.
If you need graphics, you may want to get a separate graphics card (not shared) and high resolution display e.g. SXGA.
This set up may cost S$2,000 to S$3,000.

if it is going to be used for CAD purposes i would suggest 2 things-
- get atleast 512mb RAM as CAD is fairly memory intensive especially if you are doing 3d and walk throughs.
- get a bigger screen- 14 or 15 inch as it is a bit painful to keep zooming and panning if the screen is too small and if your dad uses all the usual toolbars.
Thank guys. My brother have help my da get it already.
Once again thanks. I'll close this thread now.
