nope... no money...

1. Brand - Any

2. Budget - Around 5k

3. Specs - Hardcore gamer.. ( Crysis, COD, Assn Cred)

4. Size Any

- i'm planning to get a Dell xps 16... (the i7 Processor 2.8ghz) but the graphic card HD4670 aint that decent for gaming... so any recommendations... MOST IMPORTANTLY - I FRAPS...

rm5k is neither here nor there...

a full fledge gaming laptop is still quite a margin away (rm6k), but overkill for high-end entertainment laptops (rm4k)

and no, i7 won't give u more frames compared to C2D except for Resident Evil 5... chances re u may be better off getting C2Q instead...

u can try MSI's gaming series... the graphic card is one of the best u can get, but at a smaller price tag than others like Alienware... else it will be SXPS16 (C2D), Asus N51Vn (C2D + GT 240M) or BenQ S57 (C2D + HD4650), all abt rm4k

---------------------------------------------------------------
I choose i7 ( quad ) because i'm in video and photo editing which is very good to me and i heard that games in the future will be getting more advantage in Quads than duo too. Even though duo core kicks ass right now, for future purpose i think i'll stick with i7 better.

For what u said MSI gaming series? i love them.. GTS, GTX nice graphic cards... but i don't see anyone selling them nor putting price tags in MSI online, i even tried asking in lowyat forum though, but seems no hope. So, i ended up choosing Dell. Any helps abt MSI gaming laptop prices?

I wonder if HD4670 + i7 2.8ghz can help me record gaming gameplays' smoothly using fraps? I don't know whether fraps uses the graphic card more or the processor of the laptop more.. So, any ideas? I've been planning making fallout 3 videos in high-res but i'm worried about the frame rate when recording.... the main thing i concern about this rig is the graphic card.... 4670.... Ati's been up to 5 series now which makes me feel really bad about this laptop...

So, any useful recommendations? try answering my questions too...
Your help will be appreciated..

well, since u re into video editing as well, no doubt i7 will be the choice here... only problem is that none but 1 game in the market now makes use of Hyper Threading, for others, HT will drag down the performance instead, so that's sth that u may want to know...

as for graphic, for SXPS16 with Full HD resolution, HD4670 is definitely insufficient if u re playing at native resolution with high graphic settings for new games... and also, FRAPS will "eat away" a few frames when it's active...

for ur requirement, i believe Alienware m15x with GTX 260M is a better choice... it really fits u nicely... problem is, of course, the price... such a config will set u back for more than rm6k...

btw, HD5000 is out only early 2010... how early is early??? No idea...

1.) Brand - Sony, Fujitsu, Asus, toshiba, Lenovo

2.) Budget - 3k - 3.5k

3.) size / weight - 14'' - 16'' , around 2.4 - 2.5 kg

4.) Use - for multitasking like photoshop, dreamwaever, visual studio, microsoft office

want benq?s42 suit ur budget

Asus U80V...

BenQ S42 is a much better choice though...

want to know.. which is the cheapest NETbook that can support Win7 and at least have 160GB HDD capacity

The MSI GX725 is around 4.8k and equipped with a HD4850. Though actually getting your hands on it is gonna be tough as MSI laptop stocks in Malaysia seem rare at best.

I also agree that the best possible option for you, budget non-withstanding, is the Alienware m15x at 6.5k.

And finally, don't hold your horses over getting a HD5xxx in any laptops soon, especially in a Dell. The SXPS 16 itself just got upgraded from the legacy 3670 a couple of months ago. So, if you extrapolate from there, Dell will only incorporate ATI's newest GPUs around the end of Q3 next year.

any would do...

Win7 Starter runs pretty well on Atom...

Yup, any Netbook will do as all of them can install Win 7 Starter without any hassle ...

tq for the info mr lee.

yeah 4k is not enuf..but the budget still can goes to 5k.

15 inches is big enuf to carry evrywhere.

so how the specs? - studio xps 13 and m900?

sxps 13 p8700, nvidia g210m, rm 4149, out of budget a bit
toshiba m900: t6600, ati hd4570, rm 3699

if 5k, asus n51vn, p8800 , nvidia g240m for around rm 4.4k

benq s42, some people found it <3k.

wat's "full HT"???

LOL both of u got the same look like avatar...

so, if i buy Netbook, i just request for Win7 starter can?

no need money or need tambah sikit money?

netbook + Win7 starter, the windows got transparent window?

i think if u buy now they probably still ship with XP, and XP is not eligible for Win7 Upgrade...

so u may want to wait 1 or 2 more weeks and see how first...
