Hey! I need your help. I'm looking for a good laptop thats affordable (read: 50k and below if possible), upto scratch in terms of memory & hdd, and pretty durable, which make would you suggest? Thanks

From horses mouth: HP. Acer have more bang for the buck, but are not durable. If you are mobile, HP, I'd only go for the Acer if it's a quasi-desktop.

I'm a big fan of the inexpensive Acer Aspire One netbooks ($300 or 24,000/=). They've got enough power to do a decent amount of work, they're super small and for approximately 1500/= you can upgrade the RAM. 120gb of hard drive space is nice too. I don't ever use it, but it also has a camera embedded. Lastly, there's a slot behind the battery for a SIM card, however in the version I have there is no modem, so you have to hack that into the space provided by yourself.
