Any laptop will have a certain risk of breaking down prematurely. Even if it is from Apple or HP or Dell. Just because that notebook carries the Acer brand doesn't mean you should overlook it.

haven't heard any complaint from my friend using it...

don't forget u80v comes with 2 years warranty and its light (2.1kg) considering its 14''

pretty much that your only choice if strictly 13'', do note that inspiron 13 doesn't have dvd drive.

AHH!!choosing alptop is killing me!!

its always like this when want to buy the right thing
absolute performance: benq s57
value: acer 5740g
mobility: asus u80v

i wan perfomance~~but s57 now is difficult to find now la...furthermore i scare it will outdate after i buy...= =ii
so if acer is stable...i will go for 5740G...are 5740G graphic card good??

acer 5740g is using hd5470 which is similar with hd4570, so can say similar with studio 15 with i5, but cheaper price..
though gpu wise, lose to s42 and s57

Thanks for the feedback, but I also wants to know your opinion on Dell Studio 14 with P7450 & Ati HD4530?

It wont be outdated anytime soon. The HD4650 and P8700 used make for a pretty formidable laptop, considering its price.

Newer doesn't necessarily mean better

Budget 2k-2.5k
Need GC
Light Gaming -
Sometime Play Photoshop....just simple thing for fun
Multitask
Internet
Can Survive Future

TQ

3k below what's the best gaming machine i can get

Dell Studio 15(customized to 3k),Lenovo G450,Benq S42,S57,K40/50AB,Toshiba L510,Acer 5740G

Did i miss out anything?

where....cant find it....

is any model frm acer similiar to acer 6935G?

need advice. what laptop can beat benQ s57? price below 3.7k.

@farez

None unless you're willing to top up some $$ for RM3999 Dell Studio XPS 16 with HD4670

well, so far no complaint about studio 14 from my friend using it.
though if you want better spec that that one with similar price, consider toshiba l510-s4314, toshiba L510-S4318B

asus k40ab/k50ab, lenovo g450 with g210m, acer 4740g, benq s42(if can find it)

sager np2098 with t6600, last time around rm 2.8k from mucro.

acer 4740g, asus k40ab
if can 2.6k, compaq CQ36-110TX

here selling for rm 2499
as for difference both model, seems like only the ram amount, 2gb vs 4gb.

so far, acer only release 15'' and 14''
if want similar model from other brand, sony FW or upcoming sony F

sager np2098, similar spec without BD-rom, though need to order online
lenovo y550, acer 5935g with gt240m
though those three only have similar performance with s57
to beat it, studio xps 16 is the closest in your budget.

Hello guys, got a question about asus a52jr laptop. is this laptop worth to buy?

Spec is: I3-350, 2G(ddr3), 500G, 1GV(5470), Win 7HP (RM2700)

i think k42jr comes with i5 and a52jr comes with i3.

quite good considering its price,
considering it needs another rm 300 to get i5 + another 2gb ram on acer 5740g but lose one year warranty...
but any info about the vram being used on hd5470?
