Thanks for ur reply.
do any laptop model will beat this A42JV? i meant coming soon model. bcos probably i will only get a new laptop at next month. wan to do some survey,to avoid wrongly bought.

Acer 4820TG with i5 460M + ATi HD5650@RM2699, longer battery life than A42Jv...

actually i know that Acer really having a very competive price and spec. but i heard many bad comment about the acer laptop, how suck they are. so i am not dare go for Acer..

Its your choice...

based on ur oppinion? since u been used Acer Aspire 5551 ANWXCi.

how about 4741??

Had problem with its hinge after 3.5 years usage, the lid can't hold the pressure anymore...
Battery life drop also
Overheating, which just need some cleaning...
Other than that, everything works fine and still using it today...

For now, it still worse than those two XD

why say so? GT420 problem?

On paper, GT420M should be much better than GT335M, but as for now, its performance benchmarked is lower than GT335M..

eh, no la lee, the benchmark for GT420m should be at 5650 level, but it lower than that.... its slightly higher than 335m

I'm getting 7500 point 3dmark06 with default A42Jv...

Hello... I've read your posts. I need some advice. I'm looking for a lappy for gaming + 3D rendering purposes. I have 3 options in mind.

1) Asus A42JC

2) Sony Vaio VPCEA32FG

2) Acer 4820TG

I have a preference for Sony but the price is the steepest amongst all. If I were to choose Asus, what other models suits my requirement? I'm not such a hardware guy, can someone advice me between ATI 5650 and the NV GT420M? Which would be better for gaming?

Previously Asus had a model: Asus A42Ja, i7 740QM + ATi HD5730@RM3599. Is this still available? HD5730 > HD 5650?

BTW, isn't Acer 4820TG equipped with ATI HD5470?

Hope someone can help me decide in terms of performances. Thanks.

yeap..the older 4820TG is with 5470..the nw one (which is yet to b released) has got the 5650..

Nope,, HD5450 won't do much in gaming...
and how would DM4 wold be better than Envy, Envy is supposed to be better class than the DM4
might as well take Asus A42Jv if you want to save the money....

hehe..i mean better from the view of 'budget'.
like that i go for ea16. thanks lee... by the way macbook also nice, first time use 'pening'

In view of budget, A42Jv rules!
and as said before, better get EA36 if intend to get EA16 since you are practically paying the same price for better stuff...

but in sony malaysia..doesnt hv ea36?

Its already out...
Someone even give picture of its brochure...

owh really?
