Hello, I want to buy a new laptop so went to lowyat and saw 2 model that I like which are

ASUS UL50Vg-D130VHP2G320GDL RM2999 and;
HP Pavillion dv4-1409TU RM2799

Could you help me specify which one of the above is more compatible & suit for my usage?

My usage of the laptop will be:
- Online gaming like dragonica, emil chronicle
- DVD game like The sims3
- also good for watching movies, listening to music

Budget below 3k

Brand preferably the model above

Thanks in advance! ^o^

if want to game, take the ul50vg,
the intel gma 4500mhd on dv4 is horrible for gaming.

other suitable for gaming is studio 15, benq s42, toshiba l510-s4314
the only advantage of ul50vg is its thinner and provide longer battery life, performance wise, lose to those three.

this one...would it be good alternative beside dell inspiron 13?
saw the size is much smaller, altho i think i couldnt play much DVD game on it..hmmm

well, performance wise, it lose out from inspiron 13.
but that still ok, because the main selling point of 1810TZ is small and long battery life while still better performance than atom netbook.
but yeah, don't hope much on gaming.

okay thanks for ur help! Now I can put away the HP model hehe...

never heard of sager brand?can be trusted?if anything wrong wif the laptop wer do i refer to?

There is a dealer here in Msia so there shouldn't be much of a problem pertaining to warranty issues.Just check out the Sager thread for more info

sager is a well known brand in US.
anything wrong, refer to Mucro.Asia, reseller for malaysia and forumer here as well.

Sorry if i come back with more questions.. i jus don want to waste my $ on next laptop that last for 1 year oni..

i checked my previous laptop that died on me.

HP Pav. 2032
-AMD Athlon (1.9Ghz, 512Kb L2 Cache), 2 GB RAM, 160 HD, 12.1", Nvidia Gforce 6150
-Bought for RM 2.8K

Now can i know if there's anything similar brand/model like my previous lap on the market nowdays?
I found this requirement is enough for me to do my everyday tasks including playing Sims 3.
-Budget shall b RM 2k to 2.5k or less is better.

Thanks

HP tx2500 series...

i ve seen 1 with Turion x2 Ultra and HD3200 before...

jokes aside... i would say models like Asus K40In, or even K40Ab would be good enough...

Hmm..whats the price range?

Other than Asus...any other brand? HP new model got something similar like this?

if really want similar, consider HP Pav. dv2-1122, 12.1'', AMD ATHLON NEO X2 L355, ATI RADEON X3410, 2gb ram, 320gb hdd, should be rm 2.5k.
unless really anti-amd, consider k40in, or the inspiron 13 with upgrade video card.

How bout HP Dv2? would it be gud to use for office applications, online, and some gaming?

it should be fine unless you are demanding.
the lack of cpu power is compensated with the better gpu in its class.

good enuf, but dun expect much battery from it though...

Im still 50-50 bout AMD tho, but im considering it.
Again, thanks for the alternatives. i'll take note of K40in, Inspiron 13 n HP DV2.

GPU?

Erm, battery is not my primary concern i x use it so much.



I only hope it could support some little gaming (i play Sim 3 only~hee) n enough power to do multasking work

gpu = video card, which is most important factor in gaming

well, the current dv2 is better in multitasking than the last time dv2 since now using dual core rather than single core

Hi everyone

Need some recommendation about buying a laptop

Any brand will do

Budget around RM6k-7k

Mainly for gaming

Size and weight doesn't really matter


Thanks in advance

17'': Sager NP8760
15'': Sager NP8690
still under 7k, both with i7 & gtx280m, though i7 really not suitable for gaming....

Asus G51VX-SZ149V-W7HP(SRP:RM6999)--T9600-2.80GHz/15.6" Full HD (GL, LED) /4GB (2Gx2)/500GB (7200rpm)/NV GTX 260M/GDDR3 1GB/BD Combo (Read Only)/Win 7 Home Premium(64bit)/2.0M/Y/6 Cell

I wouldn't recommend the M17X here. Too pricey and comes with a WXGA resolution and a single GTX260M at base price.
