Well, budget wise, can get Alienware m15x, starting from 4kg, RM5999
or also can consider Dell Studio XPS 16, but the problem is delivery time, which can not exceed march, I presume?

btw, as for macbook pro, there's should be a refresh on 10 march, if source is valid....

i dont think m15x with G240M is logical... if want get G240M, u might as well get sxps16 which using a slightly more powerful GPU, HD4670

Well, he has 7k budget, can upgrade to GTX260M...

I've read some review, they say is not wise just to upgrade to GTX260M and maintain the i7 - 720.



Well,It can exceed March but it is risky lol. Anyway I don't think the Vaio Z is good in terms of performance:price ratio.
330M is the 300 series right ? means its newer than 200Series I assume. Well it has better techno then > Alienware (but not 260M)


Seems like Alienware is the way.

Well, of course in term of power, the Alienware is much better, but the machine being compared is 4kg vs 1.4kg

GTX260M >> GT330M,
GT330M is around GT240M level btw...

Hey guys, my fren gonna buy 1 new laptop..budget RM2.5k.

Just normal assignments and some pictures editing like photoshop illustrator etc etc..

any suggestion ?

Acer 4740G@RM2499 might be good

can i know why current CQ40 600 Series notebook AMD bases is using QL65?

i remember last time CQ40 100 series is using RM70.72 instead

isn't it RM is newer than Athlon QL?

why current notebook is even using older model of processor?

Clear old stocks perhaps?
Well, the RM and QL isn't really that significant of difference in term of power though..
And also Compaq nowadays doesn't really give much better performance:price ratio...

how about the speen? also not much different right?

why do you say don't offer much price/performance ratio?
isn't it cheap and has reasonable price?

625AU only costs 1499. i am considering it
but it uses QL65
i don't know why......

Guys need some recommendation for a new laptop

1)Brand: Open to any suggestion
2)Budget: RM2400(+- RM200)
3)Specs: Erm not to familiar with the current specs but i would like a decent dedicated graphic card hard disk space of about >320gb and 2gb ram min. I had a look at the acer 4740g model which has the following specs

intel core it-430m processor
Windows 7 home premium
500hdd/2gbddr3ram
14" screen
nvidia geforce 310m with 512 dedicated ddr3 vram.

It seems to fit my criteria quiet well. But i am still open to other models. Could anyone tell me why some of the laptop graphic cards has the up to 3067mb of shared memory? Does it make a lot of difference?

4)Size: 13-15"

Thanks guys

Obviously you have the Acer 4740G for RM2499(u can add RM198 for 3 years warranty)

Exact specs u stated..

i5 430M
2gb DDR3
Nvidia GeForce 310M
500GB HDD
14" HD 720P

Shared memory doesnt make any difference.. except when needed.. means it will take the memory from ur RAM if needed..

Yes the acer 4740g was what i saw on the newspaper hand out. However would that be the best choice? Any other choices that are similar to the acer 4740g?

If i were to lower down to a netbook what would be the recommended model?

thanks again

need to purchase a laptop around 4k..

1) prefer 13-14 inches
2)decent graphics i think.. i am an engineering student.
3)laptop that's presentable.. and stylish ..lol

pls give me a few choices.. and 1 more thing..is i3 better than core2duo if both have the same amount of Ghz..

TQ..

how about the new alienware M11X??

Speed wise, not much difference unless you can differentiate 0.1ghz difference?
Well, that model is one exception, for other model that around 2k or more, other brand offer much better spec...
There's also Inspiron 14@Rm1499, T4400, GMA4500MHD, 2gb ram, 250gb hdd, but you do get original windows 7 basic for that price..


For that budget, 4740G would offer better value...

netbook with RM 2.4k you mean?
Current value buy would be Acer 1810TZ@RM 1899

Vaio CW26, i5 520M + nvidia GT330M, 14'', 1600x900 resolution@RM3999

any recommended laptop for budget of RM3000? Saw ur post, acer 4740G seem like really cheapest wit good specs, but i just wondered abt its quality...

Screen size? usage? weight? battery life?

Tis New Inspirion 14 is worth buying or not?

Added on February 11, 2010, 1:23 am14". Seldom use for gaming. Use for assignments, online, watching movies...Speed is quite important for me. Battery life prefer longer time (better at least 3hrs)

Well, its sufficient for normal usage, excluding gaming, and if you don't mind paying a bit more for the warranty than other brand, then its quite ok for the price...

Though I must say the system is quite unbalanced since you just paying more for the CPU which might not give you any significant improvement, hence, what's the usage?

Well, as for seldom use for gaming, but you still do gaming or no gaming at all?
If no gaming at all, the inspiron 14 is fine...
