Get with a single stick of 2GB DDR3 RAM (the newer i3 or i5 [or i7])... wait for 2GB DDR3 sticks to fall in price( say <RM70)... you'll get a cheap upgrade to 4GB with dual channel

can get neetbook below rm1000?

it's quite ok for light gaming...

mind sharing me the price range? for these laptops?

SXPS 16@RM3999-RM4999 depends configurations
HP DV6@RM4999
Asus G51Jx@RM5.2K at mucro.asia
AW M15X@RM5999
Acer 5942G@RM4799

thx lee, btw, between i7, i5 and quad, which 1 is a better renderer? and may i know y? cuz gcard usually used only for smooth modelling right? rendering is proc job.

i7 xxxQM and C2Q will crush i5.
Since these kind of application can utilize the extra core, so more cores is better.
Rendering is CPU job, GPU is for the work environment iinm, a lot of RAM also important...

oo ok, so means that, even 4670 is actually enough for this kind of application? and asus g51jx, any news when it will arrive to malaysia?

Most likely need to import,
Its RM5.2K at mucro.asia while on garage sales its RM6.6K

uff.. why is it so hard to get gaming grade laptop. btw, thx for ur help.

ppl, need correction on availability of asus a42jr with i-5. apparently the sales person was mistaken , it's normal asus a42jr with i-3 .

sad

anyway placed a deposit for asus a42jr with i-3 ... don't think i can wait that long. Furthermore i think with i-5 it would be more expensive ...

it's not hard to get 1 coz there are a lot gaming laptop in the market. it's the consumer budget that make it hard to get

Hi,

My (not-more-than-4-months-old) Dell 1555 was just stolen last week , so I need my replacement ASAP. Hope you guys can help me...

1st priority:
- Budget: max RM3000
- Purpose: GAME (don't mind to play latest game at lowest graphic setting), internet, downloads, a lil bit graphic etc..

2nd priority:
- Brand: Other than Acer...
- Screen: <15.4"
- processor: prefers i3/i5...

I have also some questions:

1. I already have my eyes at Asus A52JR/A42JR and Dell 15(not again..) but I really cannot figure out what is the differences between i3 and i5. If my main purpose is for games, is i3 just enough?
2. Are any better laptops (within my budget) for games? Or I just need to wait K52JR?
3. Can anyone give the approximate price for K52JR?
4. About the graphics, I already spend whole day checking at Notebookcheck.com for the specs but I really cannot figure out the best graphic card for me (and games ).Can anyone give me recommendation?
5. Is Turbo Boost very important for gaming? How about HTT?

Very sorry for too many questions. I'm VERY desperate (and still frustrated about my lost laptop ). Hope you guys can help me...
