yeah, but since many asking recommendations and giving opinions here also mar

Hi... Its me again, does the A42Ja has switchable graphics like the 4820TG?

No.

is there any visible differences in battery power consumption if you're using Intel GMA instead of the dedicated gfx card?

Big difference
The existence of laptops which offer both power and battery life is only possible with switchable graphics

Yup, can differ to couple of hours...

ok, I see... few hours then... So anyway to "softmod" the A42Jc via Software, or it is its hardware?

Its hardware...

still hv s0me problem on choosing between 3 laptop and a desktop.mobility n0t a big issue bcause seldom bring laptop out..its between
1)asus u41jf
2)dell 15r
3)acer 4820tg timelinex
4)a special kind of desktop from acer and hp that hv touchscreen,cpu embedded in d screen. Rem0te keyboard,23" screen. Forgot what m0del.

Criteria.
1)n0t playing any games yet but just wanna b safe in d future if i do(at least 3 years to c0me)
2)build quality(acer sc 2km away,asus 1km away,dell is on site)
3)cnt anybody explain what the fuss about d auto switchable grafic card? Kalau tak auto switch dia jd mcmana?
4)im n0t g0nna carry my gadgets that often but i dnt like a pc to b stati0nary..at least when im watching tv,i still cn surf.

Using hp typing this. So kecik. Thanks in advance

If portability is not the main priority (assuming battery life is not that important as well), then Dell Inspiron 15r would be best
For No.4, I believe you are referring to AIO PCs? O___o

actually i dnt kn0w where to post that touch screen pc thingy. Browse thru lyn desktop secti0n ,still tak jumpa. I saw it at harvey n0rman. Was quoted at rm3.5k. The screen got s0me sort of kaki.. So kinda m0bile lah(dalam rumah). And spec m0re p0werful than any laptop at it price. If once in a while want to carry around pun ok..the only cable is d ac cable. Wait till i g00gle d m0del number..the hp one is called soft touch or sumtin.what is AIO PCs?

Okay, I guess you are referring to All In One (AIO) desktops.... well, of course the specs will be better than laptops since its more or less a desktop haha
AIOs aren't really supposed to be carried here and there I think, feels very weird
Well, not only HP offers AIO, can take a look at those from Dell, Acer, Lenovo as well

budget around RM2500...

run Stimulation like matlab, aspen plus, autocad

hopes to play heavy games too..

any recommendation??

Assuming you want 14'',
Acer 4820TG, i5 460M + ATi HD5650@RM2599..

if ur budget can up 500 , get a i7 to help in ur autocad ~~ although i5 also not bad ><

Looking at Lenovo Y460 and Asus U41J, any recommendation, thoughts??

U41Jf for longer battery life
same hardware

lenovo Y460p coming out, with sandy bridge

Hi,
Can recommend 14" laptop with budget <RM2300?
The best specs, price, quality & appearance.
Laptop is for girl use.
Thank you.

Can consider Lenovo Z460, i5 460M + nVidia 310M@RM2099..
