Hello there. I'm new to this world of laptop as well as... New to everything in computer. Well. I need a laptop here for my College. Will going Lowyat next week. So will get a laptop there. And hope that I could have some guidance here. Just placed an order on Dell's site recently, but due to some problems, the deal is cancelled. So, hope I could get fully prepared for my first laptop. Information, guidance, suggestions, opinions, comments etcs. needed.

Budget              -> below RM3,500
Main purpose    -> College needs
Second purpose -> Moderate gaming (Games in demand:L4D, CoD4, RA3 and etcs.)
Others              ->Best come with backlit keyboard.
                        -> Hope it has a trustable build

Addtional thoughts -> Hope it comes with the specs below.
Core 2 Duo CPU
more than 2GB rams
Moderate GC (could play the games as listed)
14"- 15" screen will be the best
Does HP has a model that suits the conditions above?

I can't deal with DELL online. Due to some payment method problem. Might going Low Yat.

What brand would you recommend?
What type of CPU and GPU are suitable for my need?

Please leave a message if you need more infomation. Sorry for any stupid question or info. I'm a newbie to computers. =) Thanks.

deadly agree with weiyap, but i understand what angel's talking as well..
my opinion is, get a mid range laptop, which decent GPU inside, as well as other specs, that way, you don have to be too rich to get one, and your laptop can last half to one year longer for games, at most cannot play at medium, have to play at low, but that time, low also look very nice edi..

Fren , 5k is mid range , 10k is high range , 2k = ?? since when got a 2k laptop with decent GPU ?? rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

i know it's RM, but as i said, we re not dealing with desktops here...

for desktops, even a 9600GT is considered mainstream only, but when comes to laptop, u ve to know that for the same price, u get much less...

and if u look around us, most laptops are priced approx. RM3k/SG$1.5k... these are considered mainstream laptops, and usually they come with hardware like C2D P8000 and at most HD 4570/G 105M...

go ask around, how many ppl would spend rm5k on a laptop... most ppl dun even play games on laptop... a netbook is sufficient for many...
*
Ya, for those who dint play games , netbook is more than enough,but in laptop ,HD4570 cant handle light games with highest setting like L4D.

what u said may be true i think but very seldom ppl overclock laptop coz some laptop itself havent overcclock already can boil egg

Indeed , a good cooling system is essential for overclock.

But recently , there are some laptops which equipped with Auto-overclock technology inside.

You can choose whenever u wan to boost it or let it cooling fast with lower performance.
