Unfortunately, Vostro 3700 cant customized for Full HD 1920x1080 LCD anti glare. so sad...
I want upgrade window 7 home basic to home premium, but it don have 64bit, only Professional has 64bit. disappointed again..
But i heard that if it installed with window 7 home premium 64bit then i use the given window 7 home premium 32bit key, it will work.... is it true? anyone try it?

Hey guys I have a question,

http://www.lowyat.net/v2/latest/hp-unveils...-lifestyle.html

The last paragraph is regarding the HP Pavilion dv3 Entertainment Notebook PC but then it states,

"Powered by an Intel Core i7 processor and configurable with up to 8Gb RAM, the dv2 is certainly a power packed machine in a diminutive package. The dv2 also features DX11 graphics, switchable between Intel HD and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5450, so yes it can run Crysis. Rounding off the features on this notebook with 640Gb of HD space and HDMI output, the dv3 could very well be the ultimate entertainment notebook."

"The HP Pavilion dv3 Entertainment notebook starts at RM4099 and will be available in early May."

So is it dv2 or dv3?

any gaming laptop under 5k budget? best price to performance ratio. any size any brand. any options other than xps16? asus G or sager

The SU4100 is a dual-core Pentium processor clocked@1.3GHz..

So you can multitask better compared to the Single Core Atom processor

I have a friend with SXPS 16 Core i7-720QM with ATi Mobility Radeon HD4670 1GB GDDR3 cost RM4899 he's now returning it because of the heat which he is not comfortable with..

By the way if you want Sager you can import from www.mucro.asia ..

Sager NP8690 would be the best one.. ATi Mobility Radeon HD5870 1GB GDDR5 on a 15.6" notebook

Which is more worth it??

In term of performance, 1st is the best; bigger size + faster HDD (7200RPM - normal laptop use 5400RPM), much more faster processing (2.4Ghz+TB>2.93Ghz) + larger amount of RAM.

In term of gaming, 2nd & 3rd is better since the graphic card is HD5450 compare to 1st ; HD4330.
If money is not a problem, go for 1st.
Otherwise, if u have tight budget, go for 2nd. U can add other RAM later on. It will cost u rm174 @ Viewnet.

But over the terms, the 4330 is a relatively weak card isn't it? How bout the inspiron 13R, i3 -330M, W7HP, 2gig's ram, 5470 1Gb = RM 2382?

Yap. 4330 is consider weak card. Btw,u might want to check this link:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Comparison-of...ards.130.0.html
Reviews, benchmarks + everything u want to know about laptop / mobile gpu.

I think I'll stick with the 2nd one or else go for the 13R.

Both of them is already good for gaming.

Not sure about CCC...
Some user here used the AMD GPU clock tool...

You can consider HP ProBook 4420s, i3 330M + GMA HD, freeDOS@RM2199 or HP Compaq CQ42-189TX, i3 330M + ATi HD5430@RM2249...

Well, for FullHD Anti-glare, you would need to choose Precision series...
64-bit can be used for 32-bit, just need to be same version.

If you don't multitask, difference would be minimal...

If its ATi HD5450, then it is DV3...

Best price to performance ratios wise and other option than those and better seems to be none...

The third one because 2GB RAM for RM149 is quite cheap compared to the price on shops....

If gaming is the concern, Inspiron 13R would perform better...
Pretty much is the cheapest notebook available with HD5470 now...
Note that it doesn't have dvd drive...

How's the air flow in dell notebooks? Am concerned about temp issues.. My previous laptop went through a horrible experience because of that.

Haven't tried those model, so can't comment much on it...
Thought the 13'' might heat up pretty quick considering its size unless Dell do some proper job in its cooling...

ahh, shucks.. I could've easily gotten the 15R but the W7 Home basic is seriously a turn down, a big NO NO. I've seen in reviews through the Notebook Check, the 5450 is below the 4570 and 5145. Those 3 just have a slight difference isnt it? As for 1GB GPU's, would it eat the ram memory?

Well, the 1GB is dedicated, so it shouldn't eat ram memory...

Yeah okay =), ima get to bed now. Will update soon..
