i would say,
asus k40/50ab still a better choice in terms of gaming, better gpu still more important..

Hai..i just need some advice or recommendation or anything that can help me..i cannot choose rather HP Probook 4410s or Lenovo ThinkPad SL400..
please don't offer any laptops because i just focus on those two..

HP Probook because its HP and the specs is good but 1 day a guy from a shop show me this ThinkPad SL400 durability..so i don't know which one i wanted..so i hope u guys can help me...

i am an average user..wanted ram 3gb and above..hdd around 250gb and above..windows 7..and i also don't know whether matte or glossy screen is which more is good.
Thank u so much helping me...
*
both ur choices are quite business usage...
as a average user, what do you use a laptop for?
do you use it a lot while you traveling, meeting clients etc?

yes..traveling and meeting clients..showing project and videos and also using some for work also..
yup..searching for business usage...using photoshop cs3 also sometimes..any recommendation?
at first thinking to take HP but after looking the guy smashing here and there, put some water and shake here and there i got excited.. biggrin.gif
*
ur budget?
mmm...i would give u a comment that is a bit away from technical talk..
since you are using it to meet client,
i guess the design of the laptop would be a factor to consider~

yes thinkpad is good, is durable, engineered to take pressure
but other like dell adamo and hp probook might give you another edge,
as design wise is quite...i must say, eyes catcher

spec wise for both laptops you listed i cannot get a definite answer
both are customizable
so ur question is really lies at,
what design suit you the most?

@ajercrazy
i pretty much agree on monza's comment
but if Acer price is no higher than dell by 100 or 200
u may instead want to try out both before you decide
Acer comes with win 7 hp while dell is basic
plus Acer has HDMI and integrated webcam

i would say is about ur brand & design & usage preference when coming down to Dell and Acer~

anyone knows buy laptop from Sen Heng using RHB plusOne credit card can get extra 2 years warranty on top of  the default warranty year?
*
the extra warranty is covered by sen heng most probably..
it is so-called retailer warranty in the foreign countries
erm...it is subjective, but i would prefer brand's warranty more...

@ajercrazy
you are most welcome
you cannot go wrong with either one,
and Dell is really worth the buck
i would most probably buy the same one for my sister also

dear sifu's,

i am contemplating to get Core-Duo or Core-2-Duo. whether it worth the money (+/- RM600) to get C2D. is the different that significant for one to spend extra RM600 for C2D?

btw, my usage is mostly internet surfing, and occasionally Photoshop CS4 because I am a photography hobbyist.

your advice is very much appreciated smile.gif
*
if u are refering to laptop, we need spec for the whole laptop to comment wor..
if u are mentioning hardware...
generally c2d is the mainstream...

@farez5979, is this going to be your main computer? If yes, better get the sxps 16, you wouldn't want to stare at 11.6'' everyday do you....
*
en, for main computer, not only m11x is insufficient on screen size..
proc power also...
xps will serve u well~

looking for gaming laptop as well..budget < 3.5k...
considering vostro 3700 but the screen kinda to big for mobility and is it hard to find a bag for laptop that big?
and the lenovo y460...the price is currently rm3599 rite? when can i expect the price to decrease? pc fair?
and how about laptop with hd5470? is it enuff?
will play CODMW2,l4d2,dawn of war II,red alert 3,etc..etc...
*
one thing about lenovo...it does not really drop price...as far as i see la...
in fact not many brand drop price unless it is really EOL...
for the games you listed, 5470 should run fine in decent setting...

If gaming, Dell Vostro 3700, 17.3'', i5 430M + Nvidia GT 330M@RM2849
or Lenovo Y460, 14'', i5 430M + ATi HD5650@RM3599...
*
wa...that is about 700 different in price...
i would vote for vostro for ard 3k...
