I'm thinking of buying a Dell Studio XPS 16. and my choice is the base model of model 1647, that is with i5 430m.

my question is, is there any more laptop that have similar spec or close spec to this dell? as long as it is the core i series, and mid series GC.

my budget is around 4K mark.

perhaps the upcoming acer aspire 5942G, i7 quad + ati hd5650, but with 1366x768 resolution,
price around rm 4799

other than that. toshiba qosmio f60, though less powerful gpu, nvidia GT330M, i3 version should be rm 3799 and i5 version should be less than 5k

the rest, might need one or two month for new model to come out like lenovo y560, vaio F series....

Hi everyone.

I want to find a good laptop for my parents to use at home but I'm not quite up to the current market models so can anyone find a good fit for these specs?

Budget : <RM3000

Purpose : Video chat, browsing and sometimes AutoCAD. Any good quality built-in camera out there?

Size : 14" and good built quality. Lightweight and slim will be advantageous.

Brand : No Acer, No Compaq. I insist on Dell, Asus, HP, Toshiba..

Colour : Full White if possible, if not Silver / Gray just fine.. but not Black!

Thank you.

Acer 5740G still has the "best" specs and price now..
Core i5 with ATi Mobility Radeon HD5470..
The core i5 would be great for AutoCAD I assume..
Cost RM2999 iinm and the colour is of course the acer gemstone blue.. hmm..

Or if ur lucky u can find Asus UL80Vt
Core 2 Duo SU7300 1.3GHz(Overclockable to 1.73GHz via Asus Turbo 33)
DDR3 1066MHz RAM
Nvidia GeForce G210M 512MB supports CUDA
RM2899 with Windows 7 Home Premium iinm..
It comes in silver and black colour options.
This system is meant to be an ultra portable.. so its built for long battery life 8-9 hours in realtime usage.
But maybe u will suffer from the slow processor..

The acer has its advantages because of the Core i5 and ATi 5470..

I lol-ed at Mac for gaming..

Dell Studio XPS 1647 would be the best choise for you..
with this customisations:
-Intel Core i5-540M 2.53GHz, 4 threads, Turbo Boost up to 3.06GHz
-4GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM
-ATi Mobility Radeon HD4670 1GB DDR3
-320GB 7200rpm HDD

RM4.5k iinm..

When u customise at dell online for this system use the RM4199 config so that its cheaper biggrin.gif .

When comes to games, Dell wins Mac big time...Mac is never games friendly..

Take a look at:

1. Dell Studio XPS 16
2. Asus G51vx/G51j
2. Sager

See eugene91 spec for Dell SXPS 16 above thumbup.gif
