BenQ S57 (rm3399 iirc), S42 (rm2999 or below)
Asus U80V (rm3399 for P7450 config)

Added on December 3, 2009, 12:31 pmLenovo G450 with G 210M would be an alternative...

anyway, G210M with DDR3 performs roughly the same as HD4570 with DDR2 (K40Ab/K50Ab), as u can see from the score u put down, both are 3.3k (difference of 100 pts in 3D Mark is negligible)... but HD4570 with GDDR3 (Studio 15) scores at least 4k in 3D Mark 06...

Added on December 3, 2009, 12:32 pmP = 25W, T = 35W, SU = 10W... that all that they mean... performance has got nothing to do with these prefix...

for rm3k with dedicated graphic, BenQ S42 would be the best bet (P8700 with 9600M GT)... next up would be Dell Studio 15 (T6600 with HD4570)

Added on December 3, 2009, 12:33 pmwell, currently the HD4600 series are better performers than GT 240M and GT 230M...

so i compare the FSB and L2cache make the difference?
regarding the Ghz? the SU series processor has lower Ghz but might be the higher L2 cache and higehr FSB

btm what diff with GDDR3, DDR2 and DDR3.
if got the choice which type should I choose?

so there are no others model to choice round?
no new spec come out this PC fair?
and I still wondering which shop should I buy in low yat plaza and can I bargain price with them? or any goodies that they will give under bargaining?

If there is a choice always go for GDDR3

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDDR3

I saw others tread which astria said that c2duo cannot support ddr3 ram. how about gpu ddr3? can it support?

1st Laptop
~ Budget: Below Rm2.5k
~ Normal usage: Web surfing, movie, music, photo viewing(not editing), Msoffice, no gaming(yahoo games sometimes )
~ Requirements: Min 15", long lasting battery

2nd laptop:
~ Budget: Below 2k
~ Normal usage: Web surfing, movie, music, photo viewing(not editing), Msoffice, low end gaming like sims.
~ Requirements: Cheap, min 13", low power consumption

Dell ok? Any other selections?

my friend want to buy laptop
price range : >3400
brand : hp and dell (if u can suggest other good brand)
purpose : gaming, movie , work
and have a good look

1st Laptop: Acer Aspire Timeline 4810T

Looking for 16", Designing & Multimedia purpose (Photoshop, Flash, Photo editing).

1. Brand: Sony, HP, DELL etc
2. Budget: RM3k - 4.5K
3. Specs: Latest & High End
4. Size: Doesn't matter. Must big screen.

Dell Studio XPS 16 is the best choice.
(ATi Mobility Radeon HD4670 1GB)

Head over to www.dell.com.my and customise according to your needs

Base configuration is at RM3999

Gents,

May I know is Intel CULV procs (SU7300 for example)+ G210M GPU is good enough for Autocad and mild gaming? Coz I've been interested with Asus UL80VT model.

Any comment from UL80VT user/similar laptop would be appriciated.

With 4.5k can already get a Sager with GTX260M

Erm the Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 is clocked at 1.3GHz you can overclock it using Asus Turbo33 Technology to 33% which is 1.73GHz.

Why not check the minimum requirements of the Autocad program you are using?

guys,where can i find beats edition hp envy 15 around mas?

this before overclock 1.3Ghz and after overclock 1.73Ghz same as what performance processor in t and P series?
can u give example?

ur information is very much appreciated..

Core clock frequencies have always been the key defining factor in overall processor performance when comparing like models. Meaning a higher cache will rarely make up the difference in core clock deficits. The same can be said for FSB speeds.

You are referring to GPU VRAM or video RAM. The better the VRAM, the faster your GPU's memory clock will be, and thus the better it will perform. DDR2 is the cheapest type of VRAM and will be detrimental to a GPU's overall performance. Always opt for GDDR3 VRAM if possible.

I highly doubt that manufacturers will be releasing new stuff during the holidays that isn't a rehash of current systems. If you want newer tech, wait for Arrandale which should arrive in notebooks during the early stages of Q1/10.

That is inaccurate and not what he meant. A Core 2 Duo processor is capable of supporting DDR3 RAM (note this is your common RAM module and has nothing to do with the GPU's VRAM). The one problem with that is while DDR3 RAM modules still command a premium over the older DDR2, they do not justify that price difference with similar performance gains. Meaning you'll likely never notice the difference between DDR3 and DDR2 RAM.

Not quite 15", but I'd recommend the Inspiron 14z all the same.

For the second laptop, get either the Lenovo G450 or Asus K40AB.

That pretty much rules out the Benq S42/57. Despite being very good value for money, you'll be hard pressed to find a blander design. Perhaps the Dell Studio 15 will suit your needs best in this case.

Only one real logical choice, IMO. The Dell SXPS 16.

I don't have a the UL80VT, but I have used a CULV for AutoCAD before. It is doable, but you have gotta be one patient dude...

But it doesn't have a full HD screen or does it come with an OS. Meaning the actual final tally could well be higher.

I dont think there is any P or T series processor below 2.0GHz..

Thermal Design Power(TDP):
P-series 25W
T-series 35W
SU 10W

Okay. I forgot to mention that is not compatibility issue. Even with my current lappie C2D T5250 can open autocad without problem .

I had same question. My major concern is how the CULV chips perform toward such resource hunger programme like Autocad (I mention it already ), photoshop plus gaming. So is it worth to buy this kind of laptop or should I wait more? . Anyway thanks.

you just can't expect performance from culv notebook, they are not meant to be one in the first place.

lenovo g450 is better than asus k40ab izit? but someone say asus k40ab graphic is better some say is same any sifu can give me the sure answer?thanks alot.....
