Hey everyone, need some help here to purchase / choose a laptop suitable for myself. I'm kinda new in laptop and pc stuff, so pardon my lack of knowledge.

Planning to get a laptop to go overseas. Hopefully the laptop will be able to do some gaming.

Budget : RM 2k - RM2.5k ( if more a bit it's ok )
Usage : Gaming and normal stuff.

Seriously need help here. Thanks a lot for ur help !!! Cheers !

Thanks lee_what2004 ! Compared with Acer 4740G, which one is better ?

However, based on brand experience and reliability, which one has the less problems ? I am hoping the laptop would last me at least 2 years...... I read online that Acer and Asus laptops have some problems...

p/s: Mind sharing Asus a42jr specs ???? THANKSSS

Thanks lee_what2004. Since i will only be needing the laptop at the beginning of April , i think i'll wait for it to come out with i5 core. Hopefully i would be the same price.

thanks again for ur help ! deeply appreciated !!!

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

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 !!!

Patience is virtue , but it's damn hard to keep patient

Dear all, a notebook shop in digital mall said that he have brand new stocks for Asus A42JR with i5 ... Will check tomolo if it's true. Btw , he said the price is RM2799 .... Additional 100 compared to A42JR with i3

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 ...

omg hikari !! why didn't place the news earlier ?? AHHHHH

yea , it dropped . and i placed order today with rm200 deposit

lonely92 , i feel you ... Sigh , I guess this is the reason why they say PATIENCE IS VIRTUE

silentlife : yea, paid for the rm2699. which is i paid extra rm100 after the price change . However, i could still change model to the i5 , but the sales person don't know when is the stock coming . I cant wait for more than a month, as i am goin overseas next month. ahhh dilemma dilemma

hey lee_what2004, can u help me compare btw Asus a42jr and dell vostro 3700 ?

Sigh , i just bought Asus A42Jr 2 days ago ... didn't know about the Dell Vostro as i followed ur advice .

sigh sigh sigh

yea i know dammit , they should have released it a few days ago

After lookin through the website for Vostro, the discount of RM650 is only available till 25th MArch 2010. so for anyone who wanna get it , GET IT FAST !!!!!!

sigh , don't want anyone to fall into the same fate as me.

CHEERS !

Sigh, kinda regretting getting the lappie last few days .... Hopefully A42Jr is able to perform well

Dun forget Dell Vostro 3700 ! Best value for price , only downside is 17 inch

i think Dell is either upgrading their Vostro 3700 laptop or phasing it out. Cant seem to find it at Dell's website, unless I google the laptop
