Currently having a budget of RM2.5k to RM3k for a laptop.
Main concern is the battery life as lappies priced arnd this price are already decent in specs.

1. Brand : Dell
2. Budget : RM2.5k ~ RM3k
3. Specs : Decently spec'ed with dual core and GFX being able to support at least 720p videos.
4. Size : Doesn't really matter

As said, i'm sticking with dell as i'm too lazy to research one by one about other brands  tongue.gif
Currently having the V13, Studio 15 and Vostro 1320.
Initially looked at the Studio 15 and Vostro 1320. Studio 15 for its price to performance ratio and 9-cell battery and the Vostro 1320 as it's quite decent. But then the V13's design is just too attractive.

Was just wondering whether the V13 can support 720p videos and is there any option to upgrade the battery to 9cell?
thanks  smile.gif

Don't get V13 if battery life is a concern, it only last around 2-2.5 hours

I'm having big dilemma between toshiba T110 RM2199 and the HP DV2-1203 RM2399

Both also comes with external dvd drive.
And does AMD really overheat if i leave it overnight for downloading?

Other than these 2 models, any other 11 inch notebooks around this price range except acer?

Well, the DV2 would be quite hot due to its thin chassis and also its quite outdated..
Can consider HP DM1@RM2199 if don't mind its touchpad...

Thanks Kelv and T.J

I just bought this one.

DELL INSPIRON 14...er don remember.
Processor Intel i5, Windows 7.
rm2599.
Blue color.

i heard bigger laptop has better processor. and it's faster than the smaller one. Is it true?
*
Bigger notebook can have better processor or spec because they have bigger chassis to cope with the cooling system, but its not really necessary it always have better processor/spec than smaller one.

QUOTE(cherriedpie @ Apr 9 2010, 09:57 PM)
Hey, looking for a laptop to get since I'd be going overseas for my studies. Will be studying a course in Computer Science so I'd like to know the perfect laptop for the course as I believe it will involve some programming work.

1. Brand.
Not much preference in brand.

2. Budget.
Possibly less than 4k? (:

3. Specs.
at least 2.2GHz processor speed (core duo and above)
at least 2GB RAM
at least 500GB space (or maybe lesser, i compromise)
must have webcam
good graphics
widescreen
etc etc

4. Size.
not too bulky, but i don't mind. I can carry my own weight pretty well.

P/S: is it recommended to buy during PC fair? do i get fair discounts or it'd be the same as buying at Lowyat or Digital mall?
*
Consider Asus N82Jv@RM3999, it got 2 years international warranty with fits perfectly with your overseas needs.

QUOTE(TealTurino @ Apr 9 2010, 11:03 PM)
Hello,

My budget is RM 3-3.5K. I prefer a minimum of core 15-520, ATI Radeon Mobility 5650 and 4GB of DDR3 ram. Don't care for any brand as long as the laptop is reliable and the warranty is good. Screen size also don't matter as long as it's not below 14". Please recommend some laptops for me that fulfills all those criteria.

I'll be using the laptop to play games such as The Sims 3, Starcraft 2, Civ 5 and Simcity 5 if it ever comes out. I want to play those games at full setting, so please advice me if the specs are up to task.

I thought of getting a desktop but I'll be traveling a lot and thus requires a laptop as my main computer.

With those spec, only one fits, Lenovo Y460, i5-540M + ATi HD5650@RM3599.

Hi all,

Been wanting to purchase 2 new laptops so I'll list down my wants :

Laptop 1
Brand   : Can opt for any brand.
Budget : RM3,000
Usage  : Word processing, web surfing, Videos (Able to handle 1080p HD videos) and some gaming (Mass Effect)

I'm going to use this laptop for my studies. Could be a possibility I'll be studying overseas so won't emphasize much on the gaming capabilities of this laptop. Basically I want to use this laptop for word processing and watch HD videos. I think a laptop with I-5 processor and 2GB ram is enough?

Also please give another recommendation if I increase budget to RM3,500.

Laptop 2
Brand   : Can opt for any brand.
Budget : RM1,500
Usage  : Word processing and web surfing

This one is for office use so there will be a lot of word processing and some web surfing.

Thanks all.

Laptop 1, Asus A42Jr, i5-520M@RM2999, it have 2 years international warranty.

QUOTE(cain @ Apr 11 2010, 11:27 AM)
My aunt is thinking of getting a laptop (her 1st!). Nothing heavy, just web-browsing and watching tv shows.

Budget > as cheap as possible (below 2k if possible)
Screen > Preferably large cuz you know old people lah, they have problems with reading small fonts (I told her i could reduce the screen res for her, which would make everything look bigger but she said then there would be less space for her to work with *sigh* have to give and take mah~) I'm thinking the standard 15" should be sufficient.

Since she won't be lugging it around often, i don't think weight is an issue here. Requirements are pretty low so i'm sure we can get something good enough for her below 2k.

Please advise smile.gif

I have found Sony VAIO Z117, but it didnt have blue-ray drive.. dell online also cant offer spec as above.. anyone have any idea what other brand that have spec as above?? that can be found in lowyat, or at least in upcoming pcfair KL.. thank you..

Can consider Dell Studio 14, can customize it to fit Blu-Ray and i7-820QM.
SSD, better get it after-market, you can get better performance one rather than unknown ssd being used from manufacturer.

QUOTE(uncleJ @ Apr 12 2010, 02:39 PM)
Hi guys, looking for a laptop as well. Some interesting posts here but my requirements differ a bit.

- Battery: it's gonna be a desktop replacement @ plugged in all the time, so I don't care if it's got crap battery life.
- Screen size: i'm not young, and I love my eyesight... must be at least 15"
- Weight: don't care, it's going to be sitting on a desk
- Budget: no ceiling, but let's just throw out a random figure of RM5,000.
- Brand: no preference; I've owned a Dell Inspiron (good experience); a little wary of HP due to some friends' advice (but tell me if you know otherwise)

- CPU: must be core i7, but if you can point me at a good i5 machine go ahead
- Graphics card: okay this is a sore point with me; all the pcs I've owned were always several generations of gfx cards behind, so I've never been able to play "modern" games. I want something that isn't from the stone age. Actually I'd like a real new model if possible. I'm sick of getting 10fps in the few games I borrowed from my friends.
Anything else you guys need to know?

QUOTE(uncleJ @ Apr 13 2010, 12:14 PM)
Hello all, thanks for the replies especially [PF] T.J., very helpful smile.gif

A couple of comments though. I've been taking a look at Dell's stuff (naturally, since I currently own an Inspiron 6400 from '07), I'm not really happy with the Alienware M15x. Seems to me that the specs are very similar to that of their Studio 15 with the main difference being the gfx card. Not much difference elsewhere and yet the price is 60% more for the Alienware. I like Dell, but I'd rather get my money's worth.

Is the Core i7 that bad for gaming, or do you mean the increase in performance compared to the i5 is not noticeable versus the cost increase? I'm not really going to play a lot (don't have the time anymore, sigh) -- but when I do, I expect the machine to perform. Most of the time I'll be using it to dev stuff (I'm an SQL/graphics guy). I'm still leaning towards the i7, prefer to err on the side of overkill instead of underpowered.
That's fine, not max settings is okay as long as I can expect modern games to run at decent (not low) settings. By the way, thanks for this comparison, I think this is the info which will really help me most of all because I don't understand the crazy numbering scheme. Cheers!  thumbup.gif
*
The extra cost for Alienware goes down to its build quality(Magnesium), cooling system and the fancy lighting...
and if want to get M15x, at least get it with GTX 260M, else its not really worth it...

i have been using DELL Inspiron 6400 for 4 yearrs + now coming to 5 very soon. Recently was working at pc fair and saw quite a number of laptop. Acer is going very cheap but with superb spec especially the 4745. But i am also leaning towards the Asus A42Jr which if i am not wrong is the same spec as acer but extra RM200. Any advise to help me choose either of this one would be much appreciated.

I would say take the Acer 4745G, it also comes with switchable GPU and also by now should be offered with 3-years warranty.
Since Asus and Acer is being serviced by HighPoint, shouldn't be any difference in service quality...

About that, I can't comment much.
Though one point probably be G73JH is mass produced while Sager is usually build-by-order...

I'm looking for a new laptop, it will be for my sister use. mainly she will be using MS office, Facebook games(flash based ones), very light gaming, but the catch is, she wants the laptop to be small (I think the small by her definition is around 12-13") and it must be all WHITE.(including the keyboard)

any recommendation guys?

Try to look for Lenovo G460 with Nvidia 310M, should be around RM2.2-2.4K or Compaq CQ42-189TX, i3 330M + ATi HD5430@RM2299
or if can extend budget abit, look for Asus A42Jr, i3 350M + ATi HD5470@RM2599.

If after sales is the most concern, can consider Dell Inspiron 14, i5 430M + ATi HD4330@RM2599...

Should I get a second hand Acer Timeline 3810T at RM2.2k or should I wait for 3820T which has more powerful processor? Any other recommendations in this "lightweight + superb battery life" category?

Prefer something below 2.5k.

If your budget is RM2.2K, I guess none defeats the spec of 3810T@RM2.2K

QUOTE(Bakemono @ Apr 17 2010, 08:38 AM)
Hello, i need a laptop but im willing to wait for any new laptop as long as it's good.

Brand: I don't mind. Im currently using Compaq but thinking of changing to another one.

Budget: below rm5000

Processor, Erm...preferably i3 and above?....i think i'll go for an i5

RAM: 2gb and above, my old one was only 1gb and it was kinda laggy (because i multitask to the max)

Hard drive... 320gb and above

Graphics: i don't know anything about this but sometimes i want to play games and i can't seem to play any with my old laptop TT

Screen size: 14-15...and resolution must be good because i watch a lot of movies and stuff

weight: please less than 2.7kg...while most of the time it will sit on my table, i want a lighter one.

I use my laptop mainly for entertainment (movies, games, web surfing) and occasionally for assignment stuff like powerpoint and  word.

So any recommendations?

On the heavy side, can consider Dell Studio XPS 16, Acer 5942G, 15.6'', i7-720QM + ATi HD5650@RM4799 or Vaio EB18,15.5'', i3 330M + ATi HD5650, FullHD, BD-ROM@RM3999

i'm currently struggling in between either sony vaio F117 or dell studio xps
both i7 too..sony only offer 5400rpm hdd , while dell i 7200rpm, f series seems a better buy due to vaio quality n so on..
*
Depends on whether you want to pay the extra cost for F117....
with RM 7.3K price tag, you can even opt for Sager NP8690 or Asus G73JH, though need to import or the design might not appeal to you and still left around RM 1-2K to put in a SSD...

QUOTE(alcatrez @ Apr 19 2010, 08:50 PM)
Yo Bros,

i need a new laptop
1) 11'" to 13.3" screen
2) The longer the battery, the better. I'm hoping for 4 hours.
3) I need it for travelling and doing work. I do a lot of travelling. Currently i have a 14.1 inch HP. But i'm quite fed up with the weight while travelling. Especially when the heat comes out at the bottom when i put it on my lap (and they call it laptop tongue.gif). I want to use it at the airport, taking it around, in my car (when my office mate drives) and in buses. The programs that i will use is most likely powerpoint, excel and words. Nothing fancy.
4) budget around RM1.5k

I was thinking of hp 13.3 inch. BUt it is over my budget. So the HP mini is my 1st choice currently.

Any advice?
*
Acer 1410T, should be around RM1499

For the best value for now is Lenovo Y460, 14'', i5 430M + ATi HD5650@RM3299...
else can consider Asus A42Jk/A52Jk, i5 430M + ATi HD5145@RM2899 though weaker performance in gaming than lenovo
