astria,
thanks for the input.
i think i'll avoid amd though...
any recommendation for asus w intel? nvidia 102m is not that famous, huh?

i would say K40Ab, unless battery life is of priority...

CPU is weaker but the GPU is more than capable to compensate for that... + the longer warranty as well...

Added on December 12, 2009, 6:13 pmthat's becuz G 105M and G 102M are juz too darn weak in terms of gaming... HD movies are probably the most demanding work they can do now...

if u insist on Asus and Intel, that would be K40In...

hmm. are thr any other choice except asus k40ab/lenovo g450 with g210m ? even add little bit budjet ? or this 2 is already the top under 2k ?

these 2 are the top for the sub rm2.6k category...

next lvl up would be Dell Studio 15, Toshiba L510 and BenQ S42... all at rm2.7k...

will thr hav any discount during christmas event ? X.X =X

doubt so...

juz look at PC Fair and u know...

probably give u more freebies only, which may or may not be useful...

awww.how if i beg my mum for the another 700 XD

so studio 15 or S42 ?

well, but imagine the other things u can buy with rm700.. .

imho, if u re juz a casual gamer, K40Ab and G450 are good enuf... consider the others only if u like to play the latest games...

...hm, think i will look for the lenovo g450 then.
cheers

My budget is 1.6-1.8k
Mainly use for surfing net, videos and office work
Recommendation TQ

i think netbook will do the job...

i think netbook is too small for me
my budget can increase and i want to look for at least a 14incher lol
does PC fair prices cheaper than those in stores?
any recommendation? brands n stuff

Asus UL80Vt Win7HomePrem-RM2999/FreeDOS-RM2699
-Intel SU7300 1.3GHz(Asus Turbo33 Tech 1.73GHz OCed)
-2GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM
-Nvidia GeForce G210M 512MB DDR3 Hybrid Graphics with Intel 4500MHD
-320GB 5400rpm HDD
-8-cell Battery

8-9 hours on WiFi surfing

walau, u need hhim to increase budget by 1k -.-".since he mainly use to surf web, office work and watch video(i suppose since he put there video only) i think can suggest cheaper 1

i had an survey at lowyat's IT shops and get rm2599 deal of DELL inspiron 14.
the problem is it is not a DELL specified shop and is there a risk to bear on whether the internal components of the laptop to be genuine?

me too...u from kk?
anyway did my research on a few laptops(ignore the 5k budget...haha)

-acer 4540G
-asus UL80vt
-msi c700

what attracts me is the 4GB ddr2/ddr3 ram & 500GB Hdisk...processor & graphic card wise u guys suggest which is better..
I couldn't find any dxps eventhought there's more than 3 dell's booth...

Dont buy tommorow lor.. LoL.. Just wait for it.. sure same price.. but the PC Fair got what free gifts for the UL80Vt? Deposit RM200 maybe they scared you dun come back for it later? LOL

not really the pc fair really crazy this time...all booth offers 20-22 freebies...
and it really is frustrating...haha...

made me compare acer4540G RM2399
-4gb ddr2
-500gb hdisk
-ati/nvidia 512 graphic card

with

ul80vt
-12 hour battery life(as stated..haha)
-2gb ddr3(plan to add 1x2gb ddr3)
-nvidia 512 graphic card

*should i have a good processor (intel/amd)+4gb ddr3+320/500gb hdisk+512/1G graphic card at a 2.3k-4k budget what would it be?
**would u guys still go for mac book pro 13 since the budget is already at 5k...

Asus K40Ab or Lenovo G450... both rm1999 without OS, and 14"

Dell Studio XPS 16 at RM3999 is better
