Hi,

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

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 nod.gif ).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 vmad.gif ). Hope you guys can help me... notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Now Im in dilemma. Wan to buy ASUS A42JR i5 430M but d GPU is so-so. Can any1 help me decide which model to buy?

Concerning:
- GC for games (still can support games 4 another 1-2 years ahead)
- Weight / screen size (<15.6 inch)
- BUDGET: <RM2900 (if RM3000 need some time 2 think...)
- Brands: if can, avoid Acer...

I hears dat some GC on laptop can be change. Is dat true?
Need help desperately. Already sakit kepala..... icon_question.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

BenQ S42 would be nice, but d processor makes me think twice (P8700 vs i5 430M). Can NV 9600M GT with P8700 do far more better than HD 5470 with i5 430M?

Well, benchmark wise, i5 430M + ATi HD5470 scores around 4K and P8700 + Nvidia 9600M GT scores 6K in 3d Mark 06...

Hahaha, pening pening.... rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

It's a bit hard to me as a hardcore gamer, but I think I'll stick with A42JR coz I didn't think S42 cannot last long in term of overall performances in d future. FYI, I'll go 2 Japan next year 4 my degree so I need better overall performance than just GPU.

Still, please correct me if I wrong....
