this few day i try to search a laptop which for me to play game
i need play almost every game

my fren Fcuk90 suggest some to me
he suggest me buy benq s42 , s57 or acer 4736g or dell studio 15 or asus k40in
anyone still can suggest for me ?
my budget is around 3k - 3.5k

mention here , i need intel processor
thx

Exactly but i would recommend Benq S57 since it has the best specifications within that price range.P8700+HD4650 is certainly a good combo and newer games should be a breeze to play.

yeah better get that unit, or maybe you can wait till laptop that come with
equipped i3 or i5 Processor. currently it will become standard in 2 or 3 month

s57 hard to find it
yesterday i found each floor at lowyat
also cant get one

and also , i sacred that the benq if spoil , need claim warranty or send back to fix need long
i also duno where the factory at

If you want good warranty support, the consider the Dell Studio 15.

Otherwise, for better gaming performance, I'd recommend this instead. Bear in mind the base package doesn't come with an OS or HDD which means that the final price will be higher.

but now s42 n s57 already out of stock
even want buy also dun have

that y i am very confuse
some fren suggest me wait , wait until chinese new year
may be some like dell will do promotion

i hope all can share me ur experience

hehe..Xmas promo oso not much la bro..

Dell dont really give much during promo like it did about 3 years ago..

Now after Economic crisis, they had to cut costs and many more to save $$.. Don't expect much promotions.. maybe RM100-200 Rebates.

there is no 'gaming' laptop within 3.5k range, unless you bought it overseas. dell s15 is a durable multimedia laptop. for 4.2k you can get an XPS16(extra money on 4gb ram upgrade).


if you dont care about brand, s57

3-3.5k ? you are raising your budget? LOL
but still S57.

@ Loki .sager produce great notebook , btw i think ts sure cant purchase by online ( i doubt his parent let him ).

i am also looking for gaming laptop in that range of price. i have surveyed the S57 price. i donno about KL but in Penang there are few shops still selling it. my preferred specs:
-at least 15" screen
-C2D or compatible CPU
-GPU with at least 512Mb n 128bit (something like Ati 4650 or better)

i dont care about brand.. and fyi, i found BenQ factory in Seberang Jaya, Penang.

but i mostly travel between seremban n melaka

Fcuk90 , u say de ma , raise budget to get a good one lo
one of my fren that work at pc shop , she say most of laptop will be recon
she cant promise me that her working place's s57 are new laptop , so she no suggest me to buy at her place

guys , i know the budget is hard to find a gaming laptop but i hope can find at least can play every game , such as , l4d 2 , COD , prototype , DMC4 like so on

hope some one can give me a adress that got sell s57

for me its only between s57 and Sager NP2098

but now s57 n s42 no more stock
and i will buy before chinese new year
so at that time sure dun have stock

thundermatch latest price update on s57 is rm2999

now thats frigin cheap

if only it dint look like a slab of plastic

could u tell me who is the seller for that price?

all thundermatch branch, u can refer


here...

thundermatch as i know , they already dun have s57

am i able to buy S57 from authorized distributors?

erm i also not sure
but one of my fren that works at pc shop , she told me that , s57 will be recron cuz some trade in with new lappy

then i think benq s57 suits you, or sager np2098, but bear in mind that sager np2098 the FN key and CTRL key are "terbalik", which you need quite some time to get used to, quality wise, i would say sager win

anything with 4650 or better, i dont think you can get it in RM3.5k

ya i agree unless 2nd hand laptop

get the sager ..... good peformance.

have u ever tried Sager?

I have tried the NP8662 briefly. Back when it was first released, it was one of the best 15" notebooks money could buy, at a damn reasonable price too.

nope. but .there are a few sager user in this forum and the number is increasing too since mucro asia is selling it with postage service too

there are a few forumer make review for their sager's too

hehe now its become headache for me to choose between S57 or NP2098

Sager??
which model bro?
never heard b4...

if you can get a s57 then go for it...
is really BD and portability issue you have.
S57 might give u better performance due to better processor though you can upgrade the sager for sure...with extra money of cos...

today i go find s57 , last stock cost 3299
while s42 costs 2499
which more good ??

of course S57 better..

agree s57 better, more 800 u get better gpu and bd drive..
of cos depends on ur budget la...
remember to get many goodies from the seller~

ok ok
i sure will get
haha
but scared when i wan buy no more stock

I would suggest u to get a HDMI cable as well when u buy S57

why say so ??
just i scared the shop will give me a display model

no worries..
display or not is too easy to spot on s57..haha...

fast fast buy lo .stygix got stock . dont wait liao

Yeah,try to get a HDMI cable.

Even a cheap lousy 3m HDMI cable cost around RM50.It will be useful.

ok
Fcuk90 , need wait around one week , i will go ask again when school open
stygix one is left only display model

how to know is 3m HDMI cable or not

i wanted to buy s57 too..but i cant find it.
is it possible if i buy at Authorized Distributors?

Hi anyone know when this baby is touching down m'sia shore?
Asus G51Jx-A1

3m is length i guess

Isn't "3m" is in reference to the length of the cable? 3 metres in length?

Regards, Joey

I mean 3m in length,not anything else.

huh ?
therefor 3m is refer to wat o ??

length la...

I said:

ok ok
haha
therefor , Fcuk90 when i wan buy i will take u go together , check it

my fren said there are 2 types of HDMI cable, 1st one is for quality n the price is quite high. 2nd is cheaper but no quality. i donno wht he meant by it.

As far as i know.. there are only one type HDMI cable... The price is depend on the brand of cable~~ eg. panasonic/sony HDMI cable will be more expensive then those which is brandless .

so now she cant sure about it

hey verdanglite, bought s57 already?

HDMI cables can go from RM100 to 1k++

Speaker cables are even more expensive.Some good ones can cost you RM12K per metre

sorry late reply
cant buy s57 , because when i go , no more stock
that y i no buy
may be i build a desktop or buy a lenovo g450
i think this is best spec that i can found in my budget

been looking for gaming laptop with range of rm3k-3.5k too..
but until now still cant made up my mind..
thinking to wait until pc fair to come in april at klcc!!!

lol
why dun go for other ??
xps 16 or s57 if u can found it

Again we strongly advise you not to buy from PC Fair as there a lot of users complaining about warranty issues

it will be pain ass when you are rma your laptop .
unless it is a dell unit .

Sager notebook not bad too .try PM fesick . he is selling

lol
but never see fren using

well, since it doesn't being sold here publicly and their main market is in US.
its reasonable if you don't see it much here....

Well, just like everybody said before, strongly advice dun buy laptop in PC Fair (as warranty issue might come handy later, excluded Dell though)

Sager, as term of gaming laptop is rarely seen around MY because its not a MY product and yet to be sold in any of MY computer shops ..but, everyone that already in laptop gaming world would know about this laptop, and for sure can tell you that it is one of the most powerful gaming laptop there is in the market...

But again, with RM3~3.5k budget, your best bet would be BenQ S57 (well, if you can find any now ) and also Dell SXPS 16

sager np2098, p8700 + hd4650 for rm 3.3k, would be the best you can find now beside s57

but , like bro u say , MAlaysia hard to find this laptop
besides by this , when spoil , u need to send it back to factory to repair , it will take a long time , right ?

you can get it from mucro, they based on singapore and malaysia
they also partner with one service center around KL if not mistaken, so can send to there...

This post has been edited by lee_what2004: Jan 26 2010, 12:54 PM

wow...that's great news on the service centre...I think we'll c sager in m'sia in the not too distant future..

well, there's already some user here, head more at sager thread

Yup, MY & SG (well their HQ is in SG) will be handle by Mucro, so nothing to worry about warranty no more..can always send it to Mucro straight away ...

Or maybe you can opt on Dell Studio XPS 16

Added on January 26, 2010, 1:38 pmWell, there are quite a lot of Sager now...my friend also have one (dun remember what model )...warranty would be an issue back then but now, we can rest assure

This post has been edited by miahahaha: Jan 26 2010, 01:38 PM

buying laptop from pc fair is bad?
why ahh?
warranty issue?

i hope can use sager also
but iwill go for lenovo g450
but wat is the price now ??
still 1999 ??
lowyat plaza got ?

---

Added on January 26, 2010, 5:33 pmwhat i can say is , u need to really think carefully
n will depend on luck

my fren work at pc fair which located at MITC there
he tell me that , mostly the price will be same , or may be just discount 100 or 200 only
and with more free gifts
but almost all the laptop are display unit
thy just put into a bag only


This post has been edited by verdangilte: Jan 26 2010, 05:33 PM

lol
i bought one last year, ipoh's pc fair.
i noticed that dia pakai amik yg display pastu letak dalam sarung apa tah

dhem. but still run good though, owh, its an asus.

but why we dun go the specific shop to buy ??
may be the price same but just more some free gifts

Just go for acer's laptop. Cheap with very good spec.

many people give old stock or display unit, and a good place to con people also, if you want more free gifts maybe you can buy in PC fair, but if i want to buy laptop, i will go to shop and buy instead of PC fair, and those free gift, take or dont take doesn't matter to me

ya i agree with u

Normally free gifts oso available even without PC Fair so why bother? Only you miss the gifts from the Company itself.. take for instance Acer's 3 years Super Care Warranty on certain models

but if i got for ben q s42
will its temp hot like amd proccesor ?
my fren using benq series , he lappy very hot even with cooling

visit the BenQ thread on how to make it cooler...

seriously, with such spec, it's sort of expected to be hot...

ya
but compare to lenovo g450 , the temp wont be hot , even u gaming
acer 4736g also
but i scared the s42 will be hot as my lappy

Well, i use BenQ S42, for me its quite expected for a laptop with such spec to be a bit hotter than usual ...but still, its manageable hot, not like damn hot ...

---

Added on February 2, 2010, 10:25 amPlease check both GPU for G450 and 4736G....S42 use 9600M GT, with such card in a 14" laptop, heat is most probably a problem but still manageable ...

Mine here running at 60C idle and load at 90C ...

This post has been edited by monza84: Feb 2 2010, 10:25 AM

lol , i afraid that hot will kil my processor , cuz my fren ben q is too hot then destroy his processor
and need to send back to factory for services n he wait for almost 3 month

Its not the proc i'm talking about bro..its the Graphic Card which is 9600M GT GDDR3 ...proc never exceed 60C bro, even when intense gaming on-going ...and your friend BenQ what model?? Some model are just called defective as the hardware problem that is known off

My BenQ been going strong for more than a year now, never send to SC ...

Added on February 2, 2010, 10:41 amand also, we take good care of the laptop also...even if the laptop doesn't heat much but if the environment is not good, also can heat-up the temperature

This post has been edited by monza84: Feb 2 2010, 10:41 AM

my fren one is joybook r45 , he spec i not sure but i can say that , he lappy will produce heat when at room
i means withouth air cond room


about the g card , how i know which one will generate a lot of heat ?
mind to share with me ??

lol, if S42 is hot, wat abt mine???

boiling???

This post has been edited by astria: Feb 2 2010, 10:51 AM

Asus is known for their magnificent cooling system ...haha ^^...yours also a heat generator same like S42 ...

aha, but the GPU can also reach >90C for serious gaming/folding...

R45, comes with 8400M GS...no wonder ...well, got to say that R45 is one of BenQ laptop with quite poor cooling system, i tested one before and its really is hot ...but rest assure as BenQ S42 is far more cooler than R45, and it won't produce heat much...what do you expect from a 14" with quite a heat-burner GC ...

hi all.

I am looking for a new laptop.
Budget below 3k.For a bit of gaming (FIFA2010 and some new games).
Can recommend any?

u'll have quicker ans over here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1310706

i heard that if play hardcore games on a laptop it will get heat up very fast. Izzit true?

That would depends back to the notebook design and its system cooling.
But generally yes, since it need to cramp those heat-generator in such small places.
Its not like desktop where you have much more space for better airflow.

Well, this is simple....you are now playing game (exp : Crysis), before game starts the temp for both CPU/GPU is 42C/58C....and on with the game, temp while running the game for sure will go up like CPU/GPU is 64C/75C...

Yes, the more demanding the game, the more stress it put onto the CPU/GPU which will cause it to heat-up pretty easily

can anyone tell me about the s42 temp ??

What do you want to know about S42 temp ..maybe i can help you...

Temp for CPU:



This post has been edited by monza84: Feb 2 2010, 02:06 PM

Maybe you can join us here for more info on S42

This is the same guy who earlier posted:

If you're going to game, get a desktop. Or better, get a cheap desktop. Notebooks can heat up all too easily, and is good for people who use for outdoor work and only game occasionally, or don't play online games where it can stretch for hours.
