Ok.. thanks forthe great input..

Will definitely consider 1810T

hi guys, please recommend me any laptop with gtx 260m other than alienware and available in malaysia

thanks

Sager NP8662 or Asus G51VX. The Sager would be the better option here as it is cheaper.

Any particular reason you don't want an Alienware?

because I think alienware is bit overpriced

thanks for your reply. where I can get both laptop in malaysia? ipoh perhaps...

u can order online. pm mucro.asia

corrected

@sg552, sager can only be obtained by online, only got one reseller on malaysia, so pm Mucro.Asia.

change currency to ringgit.

I just realized the SXPS 16 i7 comes with the 9-cell battery. Does that mean that if i don't get an additional 6-cell battery and swap it myself, i'm gonna have to live with the larger 9-cell which protrudes at the back of the laptop? At least with the 6-cell battery it's flat.

1) <3k , but it would be great if its around 2.5 or less

2) Im going to aussie soon so not too heavy la...

3) any brand but acer

4) screen size prefferebly 15"

5) at least c2d processor(2.0) or i5 or i7

6) 3 / 4gb ddr2 or ddr3 ram (preferably ddr3)

7)better graphic card

With flat one ur getting urself bad ventilation for your laptop(at least with abit rise at the back got ventilation ).. Its an i7 man.. 9-cell is a must to feed its hunger

But aesthetic-wise not so nice lor with the 9-cell...

can anyone suggest me a HP(maybe DELL) notebook that has the following spec:

processor:C2D
RAM:1GB DDR2 (667MHz or above)&&(don't need more than 1GB)
HDD:320GB or less
Graphic: preferably 512MB or less
Drive: DVD RW
Screen: 15inch above
Camera:low priority
Bluetooth: Must
Card Reader: low priority
OS:can provide my Own
Price:around 3k-3.5k

no way for i5/i7.
dell studio 15, sager np2098, if can increase to 3.2k, go with benq s57
14'': benq s42 at 2.9k

benq s57

just survey the price at my side..
so expensive..
I might go back Malaysia and get sxps16 upgrade to 3 years international warranty

Graphic Designer here looking for a laptop which could handle CS4 64bit, Sketchup, After Effects and sort. 3D rendering and video rendering too. Yes, better off with a desktop, but i need something portable too.

Trying to decide whether a Dell 14" Studio i7 rig 4GB Ram DDR3 Radeon 4530 or the New MacBook.

Budget wise: max 4.5k maybe 5k if its really good

Drew

you are better off with studio 14 with i7 rather than macbook

thanks, thats what i think. What about other laptops in town? is i7 the way to go for me? coz i'm currently only looking for i7s

well, for those kind of job, quad core should be better than dual core.
i7 that would fit your budget would be studio 14/15.
Studio XPS16 cost at rm 4999 with i7 but it has Full HD screen.

is the graphic card pretty ok, heard its not the best in the mart. should splurge a lil more eh?

well, if you want the best gpu, nvidia gtx280m with i7, need to at least 6.1k, sager np8690.

hd4530 on studio 14, is just entry level from ati, but it can beat the card from nvidia with similar price( under 2.8k)
next step up would be hd4570 on studio 15, with the cheaper cost at rm 3999, but bigger screen.

next, if budget up to 5k, can consider, the gpu used can consider as middle level.
lenovo ideapad y550, with i7 and nvidia gt240m, rm 4799
studio xps 16, i7 and hd4670, rm 4999
these two are similar in performance wise, except studio xps 16 has 1920x1080 resolution and onsite warranty.

performance, can't complaint much, its the best you can get by your budget.
