Compaq VS DELL

[helpmeplz]

i recently came across the starhub and signet website.

 

right now they are having a promotion, sign a 2 years/ 2 1/2 years broadband with 'em, get a free labtop.

 

right now i have a question. im not so much of a IT person, so any bro out there can guide me, and advice me which is of better value and which is better?

thanks in advance =)

to add on, Singnet, 30 months plan, $85 per month.

 

Starhub, 24 months plan(i think so.) $65 per month plus $299 for the laptop.

[helpmeplz]

anyone?? any suggestion?

[kmax]

well, i got myself compaq from starhub last time.

 

now paying about 90$ per month, (it is Maxonline Ultimate 124$ before discount)

 

laptop is just so so... nothing special, but internet speed is damn slow..

cant believe they claim 100Mbps.

 

i'll post the speed test results later.

 

on the other hand, my friend is using singnet, even he is paying about 50$, his dl rate is alot faster.

 

so, just check ur usage, game, movies or just surfing net ?

for desktop, i suggest, get urself from simlim square for better performance and vaule.

dont get branded desktops..

 

starhub compaq got bigger screen

and bigger HDD space.

dont expect much for free laptops,

 

 

 

or may be u can consider tablet pc if u want..

To keep it short, for me I'll chose the Starhub promotions because:

1) Bigger screen ( 15.4'' vs 12.1" )

2) Bigger RAM size ( 2GB vs 1GB )

3) More HDD storage ( 160GB vs 80GB )

4) Cheaper plan & shorter contract bond (12 Mbps plan @ S$65.06/mth for 24 mths vs 10 Mbps plan @ S$85/mth for 30 mths

fom what kmax has quoted, i believe the 12Mbps starhub will end up slower than the 10Mbps singnet. But looks like the starhub got better deal.

 

Btw, for the starhub plan, which has a better deal? the desktop or notebook?

it seems that the desktop is kind of slow and doesn't have any upgrade options.

From what i know singnet never have any $50 a month deal leh!??where got $50 a month give labtop so good?if got i surely go for it. singnet always got more expensive subscription plus longer contract period from as far as i observed.

i didnt say free laptop, just that singnet speed is alot more faster than starhub.

[kmax]

well, if u want laptop, better buy good one at your own,

laptops are quite cheap already...

 

we cant expect much from freebies, just if happens to renew contract/get new line, then u can check for what's the package.

 

for TS queries, comparing 2 freebies, compaq laptop has higher HDD, memory.

someone selling starhub compaq laptop..

but singnet speed very dedicatedly limited.if they give u 6mbps means give that only.will never give anything more.whereas starhub give more speed limit wherever possible. i was a singnet customer for many yrs.but have change to starhub liao lor. somemore singnet $85 for 30mths for a dell laptop. realli is sign on till u siao.other than the processor and the weight,everything else is nothing fantastic.confirm is waste money.
