i5 my estimation should be around Christmas period, that's the peak sale period for computers conventionally...
but bare in mind the waiting game can drag indefinitely... by the time Win7 is out, u want to wait for i5... when i5 is out, u may want to wait for HD5000... who knows wat's worth waiting when HD5000 is out... |

QUOTE(aliencalledbob @ Oct 22 2009, 07:05 PM) And how would you rate HP and Toshiba? For its laptops under 3k? HP's Pavilion is good, but as the name suggest, High Price... not a good choice if u re looking for the best performance within a certain amount of budget...Toshiba's business line is pretty good... not sure abt the consumer lines though... |

rm5k is neither here nor there...
a full fledge gaming laptop is still quite a margin away (rm6k), but overkill for high-end entertainment laptops (rm4k) and no, i7 won't give u more frames compared to C2D except for Resident Evil 5... chances re u may be better off getting C2Q instead... u can try MSI's gaming series... the graphic card is one of the best u can get, but at a smaller price tag than others like Alienware... else it will be SXPS16 (C2D), Asus N51Vn (C2D + GT 240M) or BenQ S57 (C2D + HD4650), all abt rm4k |

well, since u re into video editing as well, no doubt i7 will be the choice here... only problem is that none but 1 game in the market now makes use of Hyper Threading, for others, HT will drag down the performance instead, so that's sth that u may want to know...
as for graphic, for SXPS16 with Full HD resolution, HD4670 is definitely insufficient if u re playing at native resolution with high graphic settings for new games... and also, FRAPS will "eat away" a few frames when it's active... for ur requirement, i believe Alienware m15x with GTX 260M is a better choice... it really fits u nicely... problem is, of course, the price... such a config will set u back for more than rm6k... btw, HD5000 is out only early 2010... how early is early??? No idea...  |

QUOTE(AlexLee277 @ Oct 26 2009, 04:52 PM) LOL both of u got the same look like avatar... i think if u buy now they probably still ship with XP, and XP is not eligible for Win7 Upgrade...so, if i buy Netbook, i just request for Win7 starter can? no need money or need tambah sikit money? netbook + Win7 starter, the windows got transparent window? so u may want to wait 1 or 2 more weeks and see how first... |
