student use, lady user..
standard 15"

hello guys, i know this is laptop recommendation, but i dont want to make a new thread regarding my question.

if i buy a new laptop with 2gb ddr3 ram, should 1 or shouldnt i upgrade it to 4 gb?

thx in advance ^^

Well, there's recently an update pricelist on a store nearby my location and comes up with Ul30Vt, though I've only seen UL80Vt on display there. You might want to give them a call.
pricelist

i5 is more than enough mostly. With that budget, best performance notebook you can get is the Dell Studio XPS 16.

Abuse-proof, I could only think of Lenovo ThinkPad, HP EliteBook and such...
but those are more than 3K...
You might want to consider HP Probook series.
And serial port is kinda hard to find nowadays in notebook, mostly on docking stations...iinm

Hope for the good news

Strictly vaio or fujitsu? Seems like they don't offer much in 15''

Well, 2gb should be enough for daily works, though 4gb seems to be the norm for nowadays.
It really depends on your usage.

how bout gaming? do i need to upgrade it to 4gb? and 1 more thing, is it necessary to spend for i5 for the turbo? well, turbo make it faster.

turbo boost only activate if the software u used only utilise single core

oh single core? microsoft office? hehe, i better take i3, save cost. can buy another accessories. thx ^^

hmm.. not strictly though, she just happened to saw these 2 brands around..
she's a person that goes for the outlook of a notebook, i'm that person that will go for the best specs..
so how about combining these 2?

How about Dell Studio XPS 16?

why not get C2D P8700??
like this better get her a laptop bag too, easier to carry around if she need to

hurmmm... i dont know y, any asus lappie got this proc? im getting the a42jr. well.. its very cheap.

how about a few more options? 14" & 13" ideas are welcomed too..
dell doesnt seem to be everybody's favorite though, why ah.. apparently their quality's not very good although their after sales service is?

Maybe because of the past experience on the Inspiron and XPS model which has Nvidia 8400M/8600M...

If 14'' can consider Vaio CW26@RM3999
13'' can consider Vaio S or if you can find Vaio SR, HP DM3 if doesn't need dvd drive.

Vaio's quality's ok?
I thought Vaio's just the looks.. haha.. sorry for the discriminations, but brands like Acer, Sony Vaio, & abit of Dell has bad comments, from what i heard that is..

Well, Vaio CW26 does offer one of the best spec for 14'' in malaysia, as for looks, it depends...

13'' wise, not much if you want to look for performance in it,since most recent 13'' notebooks is CULV based that offer battery life rather than performance. Though Vaio SR does offer some performance for its size. But it being replaced by Vaio S series which offer less performance.

You can consider Asus U80V, RM2799, quite light for a 14'' and quite stylish if you ask me, that if you don't feel inferior with its old generation technology...

Hmm.. ok ok.. dont mind if further question, how about toshiba and the rest?

The same spec as vaio cw 26 had, most of the branded lappies (Toshiba, fujitsu and etc) are much more expensive than vaio cw..

need recommendation about this:

size 15-16
usage 3d rendering(maya n 3ds)
budget 5-6k
checking again tomorrow very sleepy

thx in advance. really appreciate.

Toshiba wise, pretty low spec though...

Dell Studio XPS 16, HP DV6, Asus G51Jx, Alienware M15X, Acer 5942G

I would recommend the other laptops, but not the HP DV6.

Since HP pavilion series all using almost the same structure, so just avoid it or choose other series one. I have very bad experience using the HP DV4 series + heard one of my senior who using HP DV3 also got a very bad experience.

beside dell xps 16, should i go for toshiba qosmio F60 or lenovo Y550p?
because im using dell currently, plan to change to other brand and the spec within this 3 model, dell xps is the best for gaming, y leh?

sorry for trouble u and thanks for answer my question.
