Well,I have a very bad experience with ACER.My friends and I bought ACER before and the model as I remembered it ACER Travelmate 4151.All of us bought the. same model.The problems I got were HD spoilt and the hinge after 1 years++.The same problem also occured to 1 of my friend.The other friend experience motherboards failure just a few days after the warranty over.So ACER model is a no-no to me.

So,I wonder is there left any other option to me.

None if RM 2K max.
Closest is Compaq CQ41-205TU@RM2049, Toshiba L510-S4017B@RM2199, Lenovo G460@RM2249, Dell Inspiron 14/15@RM2299

hi, need some suggestion here.. below is my expectation:

1. Brand: any brand except acer (just personal preference)
2. Budget: around RM2.5k
3. Specs:
- 13/14" LCD
- discrete graphic card
- HDMI connector
- Intel new core i series

after make some googling, i found model below within my expectation:

Asus A42JR@RM2699
Dell Inspiron 14@RM2599
Lenovo G460@RM2249-2349
Compaq CQ36-110TX@RM2649
Compaq CQ41-214TX@RM2549

hi,budget is 2-3k

use:gaming
game:cod 4,cod mw2,and all other nice graphic games
color:any

omg~ haha!! u read me! i mistook myself wif the gma x3100... going bonkers from seeing alot of numbers

ic ic, btw, can u tell me how to tell which processor is better than another? i am very very very unfamiliar wif this kind of things
gotta learn some things.... but different web are giving me different reviews on how to tell which processor is better....
does processor sees how many GHz to know they are better?

intel.com and amd.com..... or wikipedia... GHz now, is relatively unimportant now, Better is quite wide definition, some processor are better at specific tasks... most are between 2 to 3GHz any-ways (has been for 4 years or so), processors have been multiplying in additional number of cores 2 to 4 to 6... to 8...

the new mobile i5 and i3... 2 cores 4 threads (4 virtual cores, HT).. some i7, 4 cores, 8 threads.

I bought Compaq CQ35-331TX @ 2199. 24 mths instalment

Brand : any
Budget : RM3k
Size : 14' and below
use it for college assignment, watching movies and fb games
thank you

I think im attracted with the Aspire 5740G, but i found few articles stating that this laptop has certain heat issues. I cant clarify yet, but will later.

Btw, the Asus k52jr is also a good laptop

do you know what is the price for it?

15'': Acer 5740G, Dell Studio 15
14'': Toshiba L510-S4318B

Well, you need to see the architecture, newer generation usually faster if it has the same clock speed with the older generation.
While if its the same generation, higher speed clock, higher cache is better.
And also, more core is always better.

Dell inspiron 14 with i5 and upgrade the warranty? or Asus U80V@rm2799

So far nothing much with i5 from Asus except N61Ja@RM4999, though there's are news of coming i5 with A42JR/A52JR...
3.5k is about nowhere, nothing much worthy in this price range...
You might want to consider Dell Studio 15 or Acer 5740G if strictly under 3.5k
If games is the priority, you can consider importing Sager NP2098, there's someone selling at garage sales, though its still uses C2D, its has one of the best GPU in this price range, should be under 3.5k...

More core is better, better get at least dual core nowadays... or quad core if that fits your budget...

I see, care to share the article?

Acer 5740G with i5 520M + ATi HD5470 is RM2999 while A52JR with i3 350M + ATi HD5470 is RM 2699

Hey lee_what2004, comparing this few units, which one is the best for gaming (COD:MW2, L4D2 and etc) and normal usage such as going online, word doc etc ?

Acer 5740G, Dell Studio 15, Toshiba L510-S4318B, and Asus A42JR / A52JR and also Asus UL80VT

Well, overall wise, should be Acer 5740G.
Dell advantage is its onsite warranty while Asus have 2 years warranty by default.

Acer 5740G > Dell Studio 15 > Asus A42JR/A52JR > Toshiba L510-S4318
Though can roughly say they should peform almost similar, the difference is in their CPU speed, after sales and also what screen size you prefer.

As for Asus UL80Vt, its another different category, compared to others, it would be the weakest, but it has the best battery life of all.

Deng , acer 5740G is a lil bit over budget for me ... . I could only afford asus A42JR which is RM2699 ... Hopefully with the i5 version it would be around the same price, then i would definitely grab it !!!
