QUOTE(wzseow @ Jan 10 2010, 11:11 PM) Hi guys, can you advice me should I get laptops with core i7 or just stick with core2duo? basically i'm not a hardcore gamer, so i know core2duo will suit my needs. but i7 is so much newer, so should i opt for a newer product, or go with an older product, but fulfills whatever i need to do? my preference of laptop is only down to 2 brands, asus and toshiba. thanks in advance Budget?? Theres Dell Studio XPS 1647 with Intel Core i5's  Dual-Cores, 4 threads and Turbo Boost very nice.. replacement for Core 2 Duo's |

considering this one supports hybrid graphics thru the Intel IGP in the Core i5.. I'd say it'll be about 4 hours or so i assume.. Since normally on a 6-cell it could last 2h 45m on Dedicated GPU for my system.. While a friend of mine who has a 4736 only with Intel GMA 4500MHD lasts 5 hours lol..

Its the bad perception of acer 3-4 years ago?.. LoL.. and the knowledge of OEM parts are still quite low for the newcomers of the mobile computers.. Thats why we in here must educate people that Brand dont matter except the part of the Service and Warranty.. But parts wise.. they are OEM and ODM  |

quality problems that shouldnt be any problem since acer had already learnt from their mistakes in the past years.. Even with a 2008 model i think the build is great.. Just that its full of plastic
Added on January 26, 2010, 4:55 pmQUOTE(Jaemmae @ Jan 26 2010, 04:54 PM) My friend bought acer once, spoil the same day lol But that was a few years ago ler.. Lenovo is china production company which bought over IBM Thinkpad rights, correct? And the tech support still from IBM but I read somewhere that it ends in 2009. Now dunno how is it like... Anyway hopefully the laptop won't will remain in good condition forever and so, no need good support also alright... Dunno where is the best place to buy in Penang.. What spoiled? Is it an OS problem? the HDD died? This post has been edited by Eugene91: Jan 26 2010, 04:55 PM |

Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 has 2.53GHz Clock which has a 45nm technology and Intel Core i5-540M has 2.53GHz Clock as well with 32nm technology(cooler) but with better features such as Turbo Boost up to 3.06GHz and Hyper Threading Technology(4 Threads) will act as 4 cores if needed according to Intel..

You're comparing something like Premium and mainstream.. So Premium will always be expensive.. |
