Then the best would be Dell Studio XPS 16 with i5/i7 with HD4670 and 1080p screen.What else more?

yea~~ just hope it will revert to 5650 ~~ DX11 support XD

HD5650?

We're talking about HD5750/5770 Hopefully

Head down to our thread for more poisoning

Well, you didn't state any budget

5750/5770 but the cost will be

HD3670 to HD4670 was a free upgrade

Why not HD4670 to HD5770?Dell should know that this step will ward off competitors

Would they provide free upgrade for 4670 to 5770 ?

I wonder whether dell would be so kind nowadays Their laptop are a bit expensive ><

They are more expensive for their default onsite warranty if comparing similar spec...

hi, my budget is around RM4k
im using my laptop mostly for homework, streaming, movie and sometimes video and photo editing. I kinda multi-task quite a bit.
have been looking at the following models:
vaio VPCCW26FG
hp pavilion dv4-2120tx
any comments or other suggestions?

thanks!

The Vaio CW26 would be better choice of those two, its one of the best performance available in 14'' region, plus it has higher resolution
Since you're into video and doesn't really need that much of powerful graphic card, you might want to consider Dell Studio 14 with i7....

Is it restrictly to 14''?

previously i used a 15" (XPS 1530 is 15"right??) and i found it a lil too big for me, so i'd refer 14"
i notice that
hp dv4-2120TX has a 7200rpm hdd and a 2.54GHz processor
while vaio cw26's is 5400rpm and 2.4GHz
does that affect the speed a lot?

thanks =)

Well, 0.1GHz difference isn't really that much, mostly on couple of seconds in cpu intensive job.
Well, as for the HDD, it would depends on the model of the HDD, because some 5400rpm can wins 7200rpm in performance and vice versa. Though I would suggest not to decide on a notebook based on its HDD, since its easily replaceable/upgradeable, unlike its other component such as CPU, GPU, screen...

and yes, XPS 1530 is 15''.

cool
thank you so much
hmm how about asus? is there any model that you would recommend? (sry, not so familiar with them, but heard some pretty good comments about this brand, i really don't know)

Well, 14'' Asus is a bit on the lower end, Asus A42JR, i5 520M + ATi HD5470@RM3099 with 2 years international warranty by default, but should be sufficient for your usage...

Though if you want higher resolution, then only the Studio 14 and Vaio CW offer that...

hmm... in this case i might just get the vaio
thank you so much for your advice
(just lost my laptop actually, badly in need of a new one, so really thank you for the advice)

Hmm from your recommendation i search for the 2 product and found out these spec.
But couldn't make decision on which one is better. Hope to get more advice or pros & cons from each model.

looking for a new laptop soon, already survey compaq cx35 and tosiba satelite...
need an opinion and recommendation from all the expert here...
my budget is 2k not above 2.5k...
thanks

anyone bought the new inspiron 15 b4. it got built in 10 keypad num. others feature like normal only except it is powered by i3 or i5. planning to get one.

I would rate SU7300 > AMD Neo > Celeron.
With exception AMD Neo would have better graphic power but in this case, doesn't have meaning much since its usage is just for assignment/online.
While for Celeron 743, its single core, and also it would run at fullspeed at all time since it doesn't have speedstep.
Well, if have the budget, the one with SU7300 would be much preferable, though.
Both model that using it, would have similar performance, the difference is on cosmetic wise and battery life, (Vostro V13 (30Whr) will be on the low side, around 2-3 hours iinm, compared to Thinkpad with 63WHr, with the same spec, it should get double the battery life.)

The major flaw on Vostro V13 is its 1 slot RAM. In a realistic price, you can only get 2GB.
Screen, Thinkpad glossy while Vostro V13 is matte.

Usage? Screen size?
