haha..i dont really need it now i guess...i m too tempted to watch movies on that LED screen and I wanna play newer games like Dragon Age. I have not been playing any PC games for so long due to most games now have high requirements...my current lappy is 3 years old already. But i am always afraid that if i buy it now...there will be something new after a week

I know exactly how you feel as I too have a similar predicament. Sighs.

1)Budget: rm2,000 - 3,000 (can go up to rm4,000 if really good)
2)Usage of laptop: i'm not a gamer, but i hope to have a better specs since i multitask a lot and dont have a proper rig
3)Size/Weight: bout 14" weight dont really care much...but not too bulky can liao
4)Brand: currently looking at dell, compaq and asus (prefer with longer wrty period and international wrty)


plz enlighten me coz i iz very noob with IT stuff
btw, those intergrated n dedicated 1 which 1 better?
i hope i can upgrade my laptop next time so can last me longer...
target to use my laptop for at least 4-5 years...
thank u very much

forgot to add...i plan to buy end of the year or early next year

dedicated is better than definitely in term of performance but it eats more battery life and produces more heat.
laptop can not be upgraded, just hdd and ram.
so buy the best component you can get and suit you.

if its not for gaming or gpu intensive program, intel gpu should be enough for hd movie and other task.

I am planing to get a HP Pavilion dv3-2111tx laptop..Is it a good laptop ?..any advice ?..or are there any other laptop to be recommend ?..my main use for the laptop is for online, assignments and occasionally gaming. Budget below then 3k

if want to game, g105m is not that powerful, for 3k would be dell studio 15, but its 15''.

Define your GAMING pleasure...well,there are a lot of type of GAMING...hardcore (intense GC usage), mild (just need some mid/low end GC) or light (online gaming)

If you a light/mild gamer than Dv3 would be quite nice for you but if you a hardcore gamer than Dv3 is not a wise choice...maybe you can consider getting Dell Studio 15 instead (well, with your budget this is the best gaming laptop you can get)...want something that is much more cheaper than Asus K40Ab/K50Ab would be a good choice too....

*GC = Graphic Card

***just my 1 cent

benq s42 good?
seems like many good review on this item...
price slightly lower then asus u80v

sorry coz i not IT guy...those spec seems similar to me =='

in terms of performance, benq s42is the best for the given price.
asus u80v wins with its 2 year international warranty and slightly lighter weight.

ouch...hard for me to decide...
i travel a lot n i'm not good with laptop stuff...
thats y i prefer those with international n longer wrty...
anything i can just bring it down to them...
i dont mind paying them a visit often coz i no edison chen...
the price differ also around rm300 rite?
haih...headache liao...
end of the year only will make my decision...meanwhile will keep track on this 2 lappie

By the end of year, new notebook can come out already.

yeah...
if got new model with better spec then will change lo...
meanwhile this 2 model i'm targetting...
lol
thank u for ur advise

urm...what notebook are coming out during end of year? can tell me about it?

Ahoy there mateys. (insert pirate accent)
In my quest for a new laptop, I need yer help.
Here are my requirements:


1. Brand - Not picky.
2. Budget - Rm 2500 or less
3. Specs - I'll be using it mostly for watchin movies, listenin to music and the occasional gaming. (RO, CS-Source, and depending on how good it is, I may purchase better games accordingly)
4. Size - Well, some spaciousness will be good since I'm gonna use it to watch movies and stuff.



Cheers!
