QUOTE(satria_drag @ Jan 12 2010, 11:35 PM) erm compare i7 and i5 with is better for gaming ?? because i also studying like wat TS need to use on its laptop so best go on i5 or i7 ?? because i heard some SIFU say i7 is not for gaming and i5 is the best but can give me the answer y ??? T.T If you need, or can fully utilize the computing power of an i7 Clarksdale you wouldn't even be asking the question  For your uses, it'll be better to just go with the higher clocked i5 as most games still benefit more from said high clocks than they do from extra cores or threads. |

QUOTE(satria_drag @ Jan 13 2010, 12:00 AM) means core i5 is enough for me but there is 2 i5 processor 2.4GHz, 4 Threads, turbo Boost up to 2.93GHz, 3M cache or 2.53Ghz, 4 Thread, turbo boost up to 3.06 GHz, 3M cache ?? Either is good. If you have the money to spare, go for the better one, naturally. But the improvement that brings may not be as notable as you'd hope for. |

QUOTE(satria_drag @ Jan 13 2010, 12:05 AM) is there any laptop with core i5 with powerful GPU ?? Powerful is a subjective word, and needs a basis for comparison. In any case, you may be interested in the new Studio XPS 16 |

QUOTE(satria_drag @ Jan 13 2010, 01:00 AM) oh ya will i5 better then P9600 ??? Clock for clock, Arrandale seems to outperform its Penryn counterparts. Based on preliminary reviews, the i5-540M seems to be much faster than the P8700, and both of them have the same clock speeds. But how well it holds up against the P9600 with its higher clocks and bigger cache size, I can't honestly say. |

QUOTE(Unomi @ Jan 15 2010, 06:14 PM) I just came back from digital mall, and i saw this model. Kinda attractive, Lol. Btw , if this model vs Benq s57 or S42? Interms in gaming, which will perform better? According to the info I could find, the 310M seems to be a rebadge of the G 210M, which means that both the BenQ models will be far superior gaming rigs by comparison. |

QUOTE(iamwhoiam_326 @ Jan 17 2010, 03:27 PM) huh? x cd, means i have 2 restore d windows myself aft d laptop being formatted lo? no wonder microsoft earns big money, dey earn in dis way 2... 'Use recovery partition to restore the pc to factory settings..', how i knw wat u mean ar? i x understand comp language 1. i will find a translator ltr... =) i can find pirated softwares my own but i hate trial version la, if dey x support pirated, jz say lo, x install trial 1 cz i rather use 2 pirated 1 den d trial 1. but is d price reasonable? rm2550? i wonder how dey can offer as low as rm2499. As far as I know, Acer doesn't generally provide recovery DVDs with their products. But other companies, such as Dell, provide DVDs for everything from the OS to drivers to the bloatware. |

QUOTE(iamwhoiam_326 @ Jan 18 2010, 12:18 AM) if got virus n need 2 format d laptop leh? how? oic...ok...thanks... Formatting from the recovery partition generally restores your laptop to factory settings. I.e. It'll be brand new again, at least from the software point of view. QUOTE(iamwhoiam_326 @ Jan 18 2010, 12:18 AM) oic...ok...tq~ but y acer x provide recovery cd while other companies provide ar? u knw y? Perhaps that is the reason Acer sells its laptops cheaper than other competitors? Cause they do save a buck or two by not providing said recovery DVDs. |

QUOTE(the100308 @ Jan 18 2010, 02:37 PM) I was wondering why with better processor and GPU and ram ( refering 5740), its just a bit better than studio 15 in term of benching score? Because 3DMark is heavily GPU reliant and the HD5470 is merely a HD4570 that has undergone a die shrink and a moderate OC. RAM speed rarely makes a difference in terms of performance; Thus taking all that into account, the benchmark score does seem to concur pretty nicely. But perhaps with better drivers in the future, you can expect to see a small performance boost, gaming wise. Don't expect too much though |

QUOTE(iamwhoiam_326 @ Jan 18 2010, 09:53 PM) ooo...i heard dat if format d laptop 2 often, it will spoil d laptop slowly, is it true? Well, formatting a hard drive is quite a rigorous task and thus may shorten its lifespan if you do so too often QUOTE(iamwhoiam_326 @ Jan 18 2010, 09:53 PM) another thing, my fren said, if wana get back d windows aft being formatted, v can search it on9, key in d license num n dl d windows in2 a cd n den install it bek 2 d laptop, so x nid 2 buy another ori windows, izzit? Yes. The product/activation key that comes with your notebook can be used with other Windows installations. But bear in mind that it is bound to your notebook and you wont be able to use it to install Windows on a different PC. |

QUOTE(iamwhoiam_326 @ Jan 20 2010, 02:38 PM) Abch: how 2 knw whether its ez 2 b upgraded or not? Upgrading the RAM and HDD of most notebooks is pretty easy. Likewise the CPU and GPU, though those have more procedures and caveats you have to abide by. But as others have noted, apart from the RAM and HDD, a mobile CPU or GPU is likely to cost you an exorbitant amount of cash that is rarely justified by the performance increase they afford. |

QUOTE(nkarul85 @ Jan 21 2010, 11:29 PM) VIDIA® GeForce® 310M with 512 MB of dedicated DDR3 VRAM this gc equal wit wat desktop gc?? thanks.. Considering it seems to be a re-brand of the G 210M, then I'd say it is slightly weaker than the desktop HD4350 |

QUOTE(xenotech @ Jan 30 2010, 06:38 PM) for a note.. the win 7 Home Premium comes with 4740G is 64 bit some games only working in 32 bit version A good chunk of games will run fine, even on a 64bit OS. So no real worries there. |

QUOTE(slayer9165 @ Jan 30 2010, 11:03 PM) What about games like Neverwinter night 2? actually i wanted to play it for so long... haha. Should be no problem. I could play it on a three year old laptop with a Mobility Radeon X1400 with medium settings, if I recall correctly. |

QUOTE(prasys @ Feb 4 2010, 06:01 PM) I doubt the GeForce 310M can take it , its a pretty weak card. Its a rebranded 210M , aka 105M aka 8400M GS even the CPU is capable. You can play the games (newer ones) at lower resolution and such Slight misinformation here. The G 210M isn't a rebrand of the G 105M. The former has twice as many shader cores to begin with. QUOTE(Alizmonster @ Feb 4 2010, 06:30 PM) http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForc...0M.22439.0.htmlgo down and look at the 3dmark. it states that 310M faster wor....  Don't swear by the benchmarks on that site. They are sometimes extrapolated from other data and thus not always accurate. As prasys already stated, the 310M is a rebadge of the G 210M and both are inferior to the HD4570, ceteris paribus. |
