hmm.. didnt you see that review tested on those games? It seems rather workable however.. lol.. its a lil bit better than a Quad Core proc

well, imo its always better to buy at second wave.. to let them mature.
first wave always come with problems unless you can't hold yourself not being the first

lol

guys.. my budget is 2.5k and below.basically use for the net and the sims 3 only..any suggestion?? i am thinking for compaq..but heard that it has bad reputation.. can someone confirm that?

consider Asus K40AB/K50AB, amd ql-65, ati hd4570, 2 years international warranty for rm 1999
or lenovo g450, intel t6600, nvidia g210m, one year warranty, rm 1999.
performance pretty similar with lenovo might give better battery life. both free DOS~

Asus K40Ab for you if you can find it its around 2k

+ super recommended

So, since the PC fair is coming, prices are dropping, so I'm going to buy a laptop.

However, I'm torn between 3 models:

1. Toshiba L510-S4314
(C2D T6600 2.2Ghz, Ati 4570, 2GB DDR3, 320GB HD)
2. Toshiba M500-S430
(C2D P7450 2.1Ghz, Nvidia G210M, 2GB DDR2, 320GB HD)
3. Asus U80 V
(C2D T6500/P7450 2.1 Ghz, Ati 4570, 2GB DD2, 250GB HD)

Seen reviews of the M500, and it looks to be quite good. Have talked to people using the U80, and it's good too. No reviews of the L510, so I'm not sure of the quality.

I'm going to use it for light gaming, no high-end first-person shooters, more on RTS games. Need to be good quality, good heat management.

it's really up to u...

all 3 of them ve roughly the same performance...

M500 has a slight advantage since P7450 has more L2 cache, higher FSB and lower TDP...

the latest spec on Asus U80V is using p7450.
performance wise then the m500 and u80v should be the same
as for l510, still unknown what type of vram being used on it, can't comment, it might have same performance with other two or might exceed.

well, I'm more with the asus since it got two year warranty and lighter (2.1kg)and maybe comes with backlit keyboard, but seems like also the most expensive out of those three.

Anyone can reCcomend me a laptop 2k-2.3k budget wif average gaming and ultra portable size??

how small you want???

Actually no nid to small but must be light...

well, then how light is light?
inspiron 13 + upgrade gpu to hd4330, 1.8kg, 13.3'', rm 2.5k
hp dv2, rm 2.5k

others, asus k40ab(amd ql-65,hd4570), lenovo g450(t6600, g210m), but weighted at 2.3-2.4kg for rm 1999.

can't really get at 2.3k

Oic... Am aiming lenovo g450 and acer k40Ab, which is better on speed?? Will thr be better deal if i wait for pc fair??

performance wise, both should be around the same.
k40ab, got 2 year warranty
g450, might have better battery life than k40ab

no need to wait pc fair, its mostly just extra freebies, which also can get by a bit nego on shops ^^

I think i will wait for pc fair coz its just around the corner... Can i nego at pc fair??

can, if you are comfortable doing so in the crowds

Which lAptop have better features like lenovo has better finished casing something like that??

both has glossy finishing.
k40ab has carbon-fibre pattern like while g450 has strip pattern in it.
both has solid build quality.

the k40ab should have cooler palm rest and the heatsink is at the back, so the heat is more concentrated at the center back.
while g450 heatsink is located at the side.

and one more is, k40ab don't have bluetooth.
g450, not sure.
