There are so many laptops in the IT Show that are below 2K. I have no idea how one can miss out.

NEC, Acer, Lenovo, Axxio, True Note, Suzuki are some of the few.

Er, I'm now holding on to a acer travelmate 6292. I saw the previous posts abt acer not being able to last till warranty end or will die just after warranty end. and i just realise my warranty only last for a yr, can i extend it even after i bought it?

you can call up acer and check with them.

Most probably if your warranty has not expired, you can do so.

dun get too worried about it la..as long u take good care of yr travelmate then there shouldn't be any problem..well there are still SOME exceptional cases where their acer has lasted for a long period of time(:
