Hi there all.My friend want to buy a laptop.But he dont know which to buy.
His budget will be around 4-5k.Moderate gaming but more to speed.As in boot up speed and all..he wants fast thats all.and also more to movie and sounds.^^
so anyone can recommend any?

Frankly say, Rm5k is nt enuf to buy a gaming laptop lo. But for desktop, i think more than enuf.

5k I7 rig

i think most of the members here will recommend the new Benq S57

nono..not to gaming..light gaming but more to speed..he says what more 2.8GHz then is faster?
benq s57?i gotta check it out

s57 i'll say if u ask me.
i bet many ppl will recommend this.

but i look at the spec..like normal?is it fast?as in..er..fast?i dont know how to say =.=

Acer 6935G oso good ^^.. see specs in my sig.. below xD

No matter how fast is the speed, u oso cant see thru eyes. If u buy Rm5k laptop, after 3 yrs oso will feel it old n slow, so must well buy a normal laptop, after 3 yrs then buy another again.

uh lol..but if i can maintain it?for example reformat..dell studio is mostly for what?

u can try here
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/988052 or
here
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/988759

and with rm5k hdx16t is good.

if that's the case, basically a gaming spec laptop...

since these are geared for speed anyway...

does graphic card helps to increase speed?even if the users not using it for heavy gaming?

definetely, especially when we re dealing v=with Aero...

you can search through the forum for all the models given by forumers here.
eg benq s57 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1011390 or http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/973581

hdx16t http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/898150

how bout hdx18t?

TS budget only 5K lar.

HDX18t costs around 8-9K?

yea even hdx16t already over TS budget.

But BenQ s57 design a bit ........ UGLY !!

for that price, u gotta take and give a bit...

if u want design, u can always go for Dell SXPS or HP Pavilion, but u'll ve to settle for lower spec...

can a laptop be strong enough to be gaming??and will to update the specification will be quick??I heard for laptop it is late?

oh?is it?i din know..16 and 18 over my budget?i go find reviews on 18 and its nice..talking bout sound and speed..
16 normally how much?so im considering hdx16t and benqs57

hdx16t is 5999. not sure sbout s57

S57 RM3999 iirc...

rm6k for hdx16 and s57 for 4k..
but i looked at their reviews on s57..said something bout the screen
one more question.
where can i find statistics or graphs or anything that buyers prefer to buy a laptop?or the best selling laptop brands..i tried googling but =(

so TS u have narrow down your search to hdx16t and s57. now deicion desicion...

ppl probably complain that S57 use 720p monitor instead of 1080p like others...

but hey, as i ve said, for that price u ve to give and take a bit... the performance of S57 is definetely better than HDX 16T

in terms of?hmm..seriously hard choice..i mean the price also..=/
any more other laptops?is toshiba good?

in terms of raw perforamnce...

u can consider Dell Studio XPS 16 also...

raw performance means?
dell studio?hmm..ok will go find more info thx

speed, gaming...

Maybe look out for ASUS N50?

er..i googled.n50vc or n50vn?

N50VN my bad..its the RM3999

http://event.asus.com/my/2009/pcfair/index.htm

but asus..got any good or bad?
in terms of service and so..

Asus' strongest pt is it's 2 yrs standard int'l warranty...

Asus is the best manufacturer company for producing gaming chipset too

wow..i guess..asus n50vn and benqs57..hmmm =/

If you can raise your budget to 6k, why not consider Asus N51VF?

but mostly is for heavy gaming already...@@

Not really heavy yet lar

Just with better processor, BD drive and higher clocked g.c. compared to N50VN ma...

ok..thanks all..everything will be taken in consideration. =)

If your friend consider to buy Asus, feel free to join LYN Asus Club

An 2-3k laptop even cannot use "now" , so how it will be faster than a 5k laptop after 2 years ?

2-3k laptop can it play crysis with 20fps now ? sure not.

after 3 years a NEW 2-3k laptop u means can play crysis at 20+ fps ?

after 3 yrs we dun play crysis...

who knows by then we re at DX13 already...

A laptop which cannot play DX10 crysis how can even think of DX 13 ? its a dream only..

u juz dun get wat i mean... do u?

i think he didn't get what you mean la astria

Added on May 2, 2009, 10:40 amBetter get a laptop that decent enough (means that specs that can actually last for 2,3 years[although it is impossible] but with good/reasonable price)..

*computer specs improved by the day now,so better choose a laptop than worth investing

This post has been edited by miahahaha: May 2 2009, 10:40 AM

i think u dint get my mean too . i m juz taking example for the laptop performance,and u r talking out of my topic and say i misunderstood ur meaning :star

I heard from somewhere most lappies regardless of brand are equipped with combo DVD/CD-ROM drives that is almost sure to give problem in 2 years time.

I started to believe it as my ex-laptop Twinhead DVD/CD-ROM drive went down in less than 2 years. My current toshiba lappie DVD/CD-ROM drive finds it hard to read data CD in less than 2 years. (watching DVD is fine).

And I hardly use that drive. Maybe pop in a CD to be read ONCE a day, and I burned CDs LESS THAN 30 times in the last 2 years.

By 2 years, the power adaptor also finally give in. And what's their "pricetag" in replacing one? $200++. Even the generic $8 power cord can be found in most PC shops these days, will be marked up by the service centre and $20++ a piece.

No matter what, most lappies will be obsolete after 3 years , and their original manufacture no longer "keen" to support it (if they do, they'll charge like hell), since as what most company do, they only focus on releasing more and more new products to keep up with the competition. Spending a premium on it are meant for those truly rich.

Like the 1 who said buy new 2-3k laptop is impossible to win a 5k laptop even after 2 years , that's a facts.

because a 2-3k laptop can'T even be use presently , so after 2 years , A NEW 2-3k laptop still cannot handle new software & new games of that current years.

Added on May 2, 2009, 10:48 amLOL . u use the DVD r-writer really that much . I dun even use once the DVD r-writer to watch movie or burn DVDs...

I always watch movies and Blue-Ray with DOWNLOAD

so the pain place will be my HDD

Oh, another fella who buy laptop for display,

For eg :

Would u like to have a UGLY wife who is very capable ?

Accessing the DVD-drive on average ONCE daily = too much?
Burning (data) CDs for backup purpose less than 30 times in 2 years = ONCE every 3 weeks = too much?

That's minimal usage already and these drives can't even take the heat.

Now I "shivers" when heard of "COMBO" drives. I'm sure they're cutting down alot of circuitry and cram only the essential features to be called "combo", lower down its lifespan.

that far of the discussion. wife never equal to a electronic things.
if liddat go buy high end wife le?
we dun need pretty2 wife, but we need a capable one le.
u wan a model wife but cannot cook, wash clothes?
i rather have ugly wife liddat.

Not a good example to compare a laptop ...people & electronic things are different...surely people would love when they have a 'bomba$$' design but what the use if it can't perform well...even a car, do you see a racing car look nice & powerful in the same time?? Maybe some but mostly not...like the anime Initial D, use an old car can also perform what, the design also a bit ugly but still it perform well ..

Conclusion is, depend on the person using the laptop...want a laptop that have nice design with nice specs, be ready to pump-up some money for it..if not just go for what you really want..

anothe rperson who compare a laptop as wife...

sounds so GEEK

its different thing la.....

he juz dun understand....

hey...i loled with ur post...better dun let ur gf or wife know that u choose her only because she is beautifulll..

are u married?

haha...guess he dun even hv gf...if not he will understand that appearance is not everything...or else he is a playboy who flames his gf when she gets a bit fat....

Maybe lor...not everyone the same, maybe he's the type that prefer appearance before capabilities.. ..

U all just dun get wat i mean , my meaning is , An item's function is important , but it cannot lose its looks so much oso , get it ?

U havent own an S57 , so shut up 1st when ppl complaint ok , juz a s41 so wat ? u never feel the situation when ppl reli thinks its cheap on 1st impression,

just the fact when one compare a laptop with wife... thats abusive... discrimination?

This post has been edited by xproc: May 2 2009, 06:16 PM

That's example , not compare , have ur English passed ?

Just when you make an example of ugly wife is very capable to design of s57 with its performance, its flaming, abusive and discrimination in that sense.

Did I failed again? Or you just keep twist with your word?

Sure ferrari , becoz of its name " FERRARI", no 1 will know SAGA have V12 engine at all when they 1st time see it.

well...in bm,we have this idiom"diam diam ubi berisi",u dont need to be like a hen,announce the whole village after laying 1 egg.btw,with a v12 engine,u dont need to see but u wil lstill know it is a high performance engine by listen to the exhaust pipe ^^.

seriously,s57 really a good laptop...

yes...and the price really shocks me when i first saw it in the brochure..

b4 it arrive malaysia,i think 1 of the thread link me to a page showing s57 only rm3999.at 1st i dont believe until it arrived malaysia

s/he oso misunderstood me
i bet he's not much ofa reader or a listener, more of a dispenser.

I said 2-3yrs from now on, upgrade another notebook that will surely better than the rm5k notebook that one have today. tis is becuz today's processor is consider matured stage if not the final stop before new architecture is fitted rendering ur current highest end proc inferior compare to tomoro's 2-3yrs notebooks.

****

^whats the deal. who sed anythg about playing crysis, even ts din mention this. u like stuffin letters into ppl mouth? lol

****

hello~ crysis performance is laptop performance or GPU performance? thats quite a difference there u know

****

heck yeah i know what u mean , u mean all 2-3k laptop cannot even be used presently right! HECK YEAH i understand whatyu u mean LOL

****


guy is certified dillusional... lol

This post has been edited by astria: May 3 2009, 12:38 AM

lol one u all...

Because of 1 person's immaturity in IT field, all molotovs started to fly d hahahaha...

Hei exhollyangel, if u wan to buy a lappy with nice appearance, go for it lar... no one will stop u geh... money is yours... You can spend it the way u like..

I give you some brands of nice looking and powerful lappy lar...
- vaio
- alienware
- asus G series
- dell xps
- macbook pro (silver alloy body case)

Go for them if you have the money... No one will stop you from buying...

After buy d, come here lansi lor

But if you fail to get a nice looking and powerful lappy that can beat all our lappys here in the end, i will loss all my respect for you...

lol, juz the S57 is already a pretty high standard...

u need at least a 9800M GS to do so...

iirc MSI GX623 and Asus G50Vt has that... price??? they are selling for over SG$3k over here...

But he doesn't satisfy with the appearance mah... Furthermore he also thinks BenQ sounds cheap in the 1st place, therefore benQ definitely out of his list jor lor

This post has been edited by edwardgsk: May 3 2009, 12:58 AM

i juz want to pt out the price to pay...

for abt the same performance, u need to pay like... rm2k more???

i prefer pipebomb. n what is a quiet night without a few molotovs flyin ard eh

L4D fans???

yeah actually tonit goin cc for lan play but my fren fongfeikei so need here tok kok abit , fly virtual molotovs in forum . anyway, the exholyjoker posts was a good laugh, made my night

what...boomers here already?=.=

That's why im pressing on BenQ appearance doesn't suit his taste lar...

astria, I know lar BenQ price is superior for the performance, but this fella just don't lik BenQ's brand name..

Just like comparing a Nissan GTR R35 with engine performance uncapped, and a stock tunned Ferrari 360 Modena lar...

Some people just deeply thinks that ferrari surely wins GTR...

And if any of you watched Top Gear for a long time, anyone knows that a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 with 400 horsepowers can beat a Lamborghini Muchielargo?

This post has been edited by edwardgsk: May 3 2009, 01:05 AM

ru equating benq to gtr35 ? if u 'r, i wudnt at all. THE R35 is a jap pride, its a pinnacle of jap automobile engineering.

the TG clip didnt show the evo9 beat the murcielago or did TG had another evo9 v murcielago. the clip pointed that the evo9 cud keep up with murcielago, that is all, nthg more.

This post has been edited by wayfeel: May 3 2009, 01:10 AM

depends on lambo de horse power..haha
because the NAME or BRAND wins all..some of them think so..thats why
when i said benq s57 he was like huh..u sure?maybe cause the name is new..but..all depends on him

It's just an example yea im just trying to compare the lappys with 2 cars, 1 famous Ferrari and 1 only-famous-among-gila-kereta Nissan Not equal s57 with r35 Im pretty sure of that fella don't know what a performance-uncapped GTR R35 can do, does he?

Bout TG, Jeremy already stated that if he wants to overtake that lambo, he can do it anytime the lambo is just too slow in the cornering...
You are right, jeremy din't overtake it because the pt of the race is to see whether evo can keep up with the lambo or not

dude, muchielargo's horse power is over 500 and it is not driven by the "slowpoke" captain james

e.g. means "for example"
it's from the latin "exempli gratia"

so you wrote, "for for example"

okay, writing out your sentence in full, it is "That is example, not compare, have your English passed?"
it should be "That is "example", not "compare". Are you fluent in the English Language?"

your england quite powderful no? tee hee ^^
