i feel like slapping that MSI guy...

Its salesman tactics If u can get the fella to buy a laptop with P8700 rather than a cheap netbook, why not

So if i look for multimedia work like developing heavy flash animation and not for gaming, below 3k,
dell studio 15 is good choice? or benq s42?

hello guys need some help to buy new laptop.. maybe going to buy on sunday/ thanks in advance.

1)Budget - 1.5k ~ 2k (new)
2)Usage of laptop - surfing/ facebook game /some dota
3)Size/Weight - 13 - 15 inch / weight any but not too heavy
4)Brand - asus / dell / toshiba / lenovo (intel)

hope can get windows 7 genuie

i would say BenQ S42...

from wat i gathered from Nvidia website, the latest Forceware driver, when used together with Flash 10.1 (currently still in beta), will allow the GPU to provide hardware acceleration...

not sure abt how ATi's going to work around with it, but Nvidia is usually the one that comes out with/support new features...

ermm thanks astria how about this lappy is it good?

Lenovo Business B450A Black (CD-T4 2.1G/ 2GBD2/ 14/ GF G105M/ 250GB/ CAM/ 2.4KG/ DVDRW/ 6-Cell/ DOS) 5902-8451(W12M) RM 1,799.00 ~New !

i see there got GF G105M its NVIDIA

yeah, but G 105M is old and has been replaced by G 210M...

but still, this setup is gud enough for ur use...

Whats the vram type for the xps 16 HD 4670 and the Y550 GT 240M? DDR2, DDR3 or GDDR3?

GDDR3 on HD4670 and DDR3 on GT 240M...

can u guys comment on this,
asus k40in
intel c2d t6600
window 7 home premium
320 GB hdd
2*1GB RAM
nvidia geforce G102M with 512MB vram
14 HD (LED backlight)
RM2499

is this good? or the graphic is simply not acceptable?
pls comment what this gpu can do, thx a million

well, G102M still better than Intel onboard graphic...

if u r willing to add RM101, better get Toshiba L510-S438, pre-installed with Vista Home Premiun, but include free Win7 Home Premium upgrade dvd, plus free 2nd & 3rd year local warranty. This model has much better graphic, ATI 4570.

better than on board graphic those intel graphic 4500?
and it is not share memory so its better for performance as well right?
i actually like the ice cool palm rest very much.. but duno it will actually affect the performance result or not

i planning using it for autocad/photoshop not so heavy gaming
alot comment i heard these 2 software dont require high graphic

in term of SIZE and APPEARANCE/DESIGN, i wonder asus is better or toshiba is better?
by the way i think the toshiba s48 is 2799 in malacca

I want to ask, how can I know how good is a laptop's heat dissipation? Because i bought a toshiba, its restpad there often get very hot easily within 40 min.. Or any brand of laptop has better heat dissipation?

corrected...

honestly speaking, for tosay;s use, G 102M and G 105M are juz too weak for gaming... with only 8SP, it still ok 2yrs ago, but now it's only good enuf for HD videos and probably flash...

i would suggest Lenovo G450 with T6600 and G 210M... rm1999 (may be cheaper) with FreeDos...

generally speaking, Asus actually does a pretty nice job in heat control...

overseas??? get Asus then... standard is 2yrs it'l warranty...

is dell studio 14 good? compare with u80v and dell studio 15?

in terms of performance, Studio 15 > U80V > Studio 14

in terms of weight, U80V < Studio 14 < Studio 15
