i will not recommend u to use this m11x for photoshop since its processor is not that powerful enough unless u r a very very patience person

M15x & M17x is better choice

gaming and ps are 2 different things...

most adobe softwares like ps and ai require more from procs rather the gc.....

even my housemates' c2d e8400 sometimes struggling with ps heavy files...

+1....the little beast was not meant for multimedia stuff, it is for pure raw gaming, i think asus a4/a52jr or acer 5740g can cope with those softwares

for m15 n m17 is over budjed
herm... coz if m11x okie i want to buy tis night
something i play game like bad company,wow,aion, and fps online game..
my work something out of my office huhu.. so need portble and easy to carry

For the price of m11x, u can get a better multimedia laptop like this

Adobe softwares dependent on processors ar.... I see I see.... Luckily I din't choose the M11x or else I will be very regretful haha XD
But I have to admit I was very very tempted though that time ^^

Thanks for the info ^^

Processor and RAM

Speaking of RAM, bro, sorry if I ask here,
but I was wondering whether to use 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 for my lappy (Toshiba offers both in the laptop and can be switchable)?
The people at the shop said that its not advisable to use 64-bit W7 for the moment cause there are a lot of incompatibility issues, is that true? O___O
I'm underusing my RAM at the moment
Thanks 1st~~

i hear that autocad doesnt support 64-bit...

Can't comment as I haven't use 64-bit myself, my CPU don't support

Asus N82Jv, i5 520M + Nvidia GT335M@RM3999...

is tis model in digital mall pj?? i think want to buy tis night huhu...

with the budget, u can get another laptop better than M11x bro..
Is true that photo editing software is needed more in proc and not in GC..
so u can choose a best proc for ur laptop ..
a i5 or i7 chipset is suit for photo editing.. try look for Dell studio 15..

Stock coming in next week, according to one seller on garage sales...

i already look to dell studio 15 but as i say before i play game.. like cod mw2, and new game

Or the one available now is Lenovo Y460, i5 430M + ATi HD5650@RM3599,
Do hope some heat from this notebook

Get the studio 14 or 15 n slap in HD5450, sure can play cod mw2

for PS, it's more on RAM and CPU...

my friend has a Pentium E2180 oc rig but 8GB of RAM for his PS jobs, runs flawlessly... the GPU only helps to a limited extent...

Added on March 18, 2010, 7:00 pmall i can say the salesman is talking rubbish...

i ve been using Windows x64 since the days of Vista, and i had never have any compatibility problem... during the Vista days it was hard to hunt for 64-bit drivers, but now it's much easier...

on top of that, i ve never has BSOD on Vista x64 and Win7 x64, unless i use beta drivers...

even my netbook with 1GB RAM is also running Win7 x64 as well...

autocad 2008 has 64bit edition

for the compatibility issue, some old softwares like visual studio 6.0 cant run on win7, but 1 of my friend using it in win7 64 bit using compatibility mode. others i cant comment due to not enough info.

Dell studio 15 can support la bro..

its just not make sense.

maybe its a rumor only, unless you have any source to be share together

QFT.

choose CPU with HTT support will make your work easier in this field

it can run those games without any problem, don't worry

Thank you everyone for their comments ^^
I will switch to 64-bit soon kekeke~ The salesman make it sounded like A LOT of programs also cannot use on 64-bit systems O____O
Games (be it old or new), also no problem right?
Please excuse my noobishness

I thought u can always change the compatibility mode

compatibility mode is back to Vista, XP, etc only...

but Win x64 has WOW64 to solve the problems with 32-bit apps...

so that means that some programs cant use 64-bit?

dun understand...

the only problem that really have problem with 64-bit OS are the 16-bit apps, which MS has decided to remove support in the OS totally...

if u can't install a certain app in Win7 (be it 32-bit or 64-bit), chances are the program is too old to run on Win NT 6 totally...

the salesman maybe can names two or three program that cannot run with 64-bit, but there are thousand of softwares out there that do not face any problem with that.

and personally - i don't even know what program that have complication with 64-bit. never seen/use it before

azuan, from my exp (correct me if im wrong)

-For gaming, GPU will do all d processing calculation and poligon movement. So high GPU is needed for high end gaming

-For programming stuff, autocad, simulations and all that u need good CPU and RAM. So i5-520M 2.4GHz and 4GB DDR3 should be enough for little programming stuff.

my suggestion for u? well im looking into Dell vostro 3700 or Asus A42JR
Dell (i5-430M 2.26GHz proc with 1G GT330M GPU)
Asus (i5-520M 2.4GHz proc with 1G HD5470 GPU)
both around 3k. but of coz, if u have high budget, then u shud consider better lappy =D
