oh. does asus have many gaming laptops?

check out the g1sn and g2sg

note the "n" and the "g" behind.. because those denote new models. I'm personally using the g1s.. awesome kickass laptop. but don't expect mobility. I got the eee for that.

oh, and for the g1sn/g2sg, thinki geforce 9600gt and T9300 processors...

when i bought mine, it was state of the art already.. t7700 and 8600gt..

was reading around and read this below, is it a common practise in Oz?

i ever get caught taking the tram & not paying ticket n was fined aus $100 i think..but i not scared n continue not paying until i fly home..i dun think i only used up $200 incl of the fine in transport during my uni studies there

i also din pay for my housephone bills which is a few hundred cos i terminate it..they goin to penalise me dunno how many hundred for cutting the line... but they also never come after me cos its a private company n they dun have my ID or sg address

my internet bills also never pay cos the company wind up ...

in aus, alot of ppl do not pay on time ...sometimes they delay payment for bills for up to a few mths is normal..

my BF never pay for his utillities bills or phone bills until 1 yr later also have.

[patryn33]

International students, That quote is from a Fellow Singaporean that is defering bills.

 

[franklhy]

lol then you should tell him to go read the newspaper report i posted on page 40 of this thread

 

[patryn33]

isn't targeting at over stayers? no info on these group of ppl.

these are ppl that choose to defer payment of bills or fines for prolong period. brave soul also claim these private company have "no way" to track them down, a "legal" outlaw I suppose.

You have just joined this thread, I don't think its a good idea to perpetuate criminal activity.
Whether the person is caught, isn't so important.
Do the right thing.
If you have no $ to go abroad, there are local alternatives.
Cheers

I am not perpetuating criminal activity. BTW I am not even sure if its classified under crime by OZ law, they did pay up in the end, just delayed by 1yr or longer.
I doubt these ppl lack the $$ to go aboard, can keng so keng to the max loh.

1) Cheapest computer stuff can be bought from MSY
2) I got a dv5-1007tx recently. It has a centrino 2 processor and runs those things quite well. Paid $1599AU

[petetherock]

Yes
Many of these websites are mentioned in the first few posts that I placed...

asassin's creed, nfs all can work swee swee on mine.. if u buy the G1sn CONFRIM no problem.

 

[frenzal]

I do recommend the Dv5-1007tx though. The price is excellent and the video card is amazing: the 9700GT

Lets keep this thread to the original purpose.
Thanks
