actually I do concern about the screen size also.
but then maybe I can go and have a look myself to see whether I can give 13" screen notebooks a chance to woo me into buying it.


I'll look forward to see and feel these models too then.


anyway, tq guys for ur help.
I thought that I would need a week or more to check on which models to buy.
But thanks to you guys I may need only 2,3 days to check and make my decision.

is that true that Dell's notebooks are very hot and easily get burn? heard the rumours of it..

nah, all brand also got heat problem.

1. Brand.
-Anything

2. Budget.
RM2k-4k (Try Keep it at 3k will boost 4k if needed)

3. Specs.
-Definitely for light gaming(COD:MW2 and others)
-Long Battery Life preferably 6-10 Hours(For surfing)
-Dedicated GPU 512MB DDR3
4. Size.
13.3/14 inch

Im wondering if Dell Studio XPS13 with G210M can last up to 6 hours for surfing?

asus ul80vt or wait for ul30vt?
doubt sxps 13 can get that much, even with 9 cell.

I'm pretty sure you are referring to the nVidia 8600/8400 mobile GPU series fiasco...

ul30vt got no dvd drive wor...

he didn't state need dvd drive mah

if me i will take ul80vt ^^ but the problem is ul30vt's design IS SO TEMPTING XD

same design as ul80vt =.=

ya lor.. u know what? i look in different direction and this give a lot different
for ul80vt this is the picture i see

but for ul30vt, this is the picture i see which look more class XD

photoshop nia, in reality still the same thing XD
just thinner because no dvd drive.

Looking for a mid range gaming laptop with good battery life and portability.

brand: anything
budget: RM 3-4k

my current option is:

HP dm3-1031tx
- intel core 2 duo SP9300 (2.26 Ghz, 6mb cache, 1066 FSB)
- 3GB DDR3 ram
- NVIDIA G105M 512MB DDR3
- ?1.6 kg?, 13.3" diagonal
- cost: RM3499

1) i can't find any review on dm3-1031tx using google. is this a new model/ unpopular model?
2) the seller claimed it has up to 10 hours battery life. anyone wanted to clarify this?
3) Can G105M support GTA4? do i need to set the graphic to low?
4) Is the price appropriate for its specs?
5) Are there any other options available?

1) new
2) CULV are around there
3) probably lowest with reduced resolution, and still lagging
4) expensive even for a CULV...
3) Dell SXPS 16, BenQ S57

can't realy hope mid range gaming with good battery life,
try BenQ s42 for 3k. Hybrid graphic card nvidia 9600M GT & intel gma 4500mhd, if still want to retain some battery life and portability.

@astria, sp9300 is not exactly culv anymore...

seller claimed that laptop can up to 10hours battery life? Even Intel Atom also hard to do this. 4~5 hours may be can la.

currently undecided to buy asus k50ab or acer timeline 4810tz.. both around 2k; but i know both is for different usage..
i kinda made up my mind for asus but the thought of being able to use a laptop (using just batteries) for straight 8HOURS!!! phew~ blew my mind... any input folks?

Urm..not even planning to use direct power source?Unless of course you're always on the move

Asus K50ab should be a better choice if you're more towards games

that's the thing.. i used to play games a lot.. it's been a long time since i really play games for long hours.. yeah from what i heard, no need to plug the adapter the laptop can tahan for 8 hours.. temptingx2!!

"Tahan" for 8 hours..thats for CULV laptops.They are built for that but with lower graphic solution
