i had used once fujitsu laptop before (when i part time my boss one), a very old one, but still can function well for work stuff. i also no familiar with this brand, if you interested, go check where its service center, i scare it is limited in malaysia

ram is no very important aspect when you buying a laptop since it can be upgrade later.

i dont wanna spend extra money on ram anymore.

you can spend it after 1 and 2 year a, depend on you, but 4 GB is enough for casual gaming daily work, heavy one i think minimum is 8 GB

dun touch Japan brand now... Most of them planning to move back to Japan to safe their country economy.

2. fujitsu was good but now hv to see where it manufactured..

3. ipmart hv bad reputation... there's a thread for it

if u can add rm199 then go for aw14 la.

rm3199. clearance unit

Excuse me but you seems an expert around here, do you have any advice for this particular laptop?
I'll be using this for web browsing, very light gaming & running virtual machines.

decent machine... I only have 1 concern is screen too small... it doesn't have wide angle... normally I suggest pol take 5547 coz same price

Any cons about the processor? The screen is fine, I have an external display ready. Also it's on sale for 1.8k, good enough?

u buy from cyntrix? only he sell at tat low...

Yeap, already reserved it just confirming whether I'm making a good choice or not.

good deal la.... 1800 got i7.. haha... jus dun use it without external display... 14inch eye sore

Ah okay, just confirming. I'm really clueless about laptops. I hope that 2Core 4Threads can do my jobs with ease.

wat u want to use for

Mainly for developing stuff & running virtual machines(VT-x). Play HD movies once in awhile maybe. Multitasking mainly.

multitasking then u dun buy u series proccesor.. u series mainly for basic job la

wat ur budget?

My budget is under 2k. What kind of basic job? As long can run a VM is fine for me.

try not to multitasking too much

i am interested to get inspiron 11.

Anyone who has a good Dell agent can forward the email to me?

thanks

I don't want the free gift and i prefer more cash rebate.

My Inspiron 14R 5447 just came in today, looks very sleek & simple, loving the design of it.
So far I've only tried playing h264 720 & 1080p + flac, hi10p 720p & 1080p + flac videos, they all have butter smooth playback on VLC.
Will try to play BDISO on it when I have time, and run some games if I can.

Finally got myself some free times to do real usage review. But I'm not really a fan of benchmarking programs so I'll just test whatever I'm doing/using.
I couldn't really bench programs but based on my usage, this notebook totally can handle multitasking pretty well. It will be on production soon enough to see whether it really can handle it or not.

So far, the only cons that pretty severe to me is built-in battery, thus non really long lifespan of batteries since I'll have to keep it plugged in whole time. Less severe probably the optical drive & 5400RPM HDD, but who needs optical drive nowadays , and for the power saving HDD, it's not a big deal I think, slower boot time but whatever .
No problem with videos playback, able to play anything from 720p to 1080p smoothly.

Design wise, it looks pretty cool in Red colour, mix between black & red really brings it out.The air intake are at the bottom of the laptop, out takes is in weird place.. it's placed right under the screen. Stereo speakers, placed in front under palm rest. 3x USB 3.0, 1x HDMI, Card readers, that's all for external ports.

The unboxing is really.. boring I'd say, there's just a box & laptop with charger, nothing else.
Temperature, I got it to 80C while playing Diablo 3 somewhere that have bad air flow place, but its only that one time, in my room it stays under 70c full load & 35-40c idle.

Price, for RM1700? for this kind of performance? Damn good deal I'd say.

Portability, just <2kg, everyday I'm carrying 2-3 Kgs of textbook, not a big deal to me. I haven't try using the laptop until it ran out of battery though, might will do soon.
