Wow, really helpful list! Thanks a lot!

Thought there used to be a thread for 15"s? Not on the first page anymore...

Well the models change quite fast and so does the pricing and specs..

DELL Studio 14 and Toshiba M500 ^____^
These seemed to be quite popular also XD

Hmmm, good job to TS for opening up threads like this, its more convenient for people to obtain information ^^

Well, some little info can help people and can lift-up some burden some more...well, if got any 14" laptops that is not in the list, care to tell me and i'll update the list .

why don't you add A42JR with i3 and i5 with price 2599 and 2799 also?

great job miahaha...

Great job Do compile a price list for 15.6 inchers also

yap... agreed

Well done ... share with us the 15'' laptops list too ... muahahahaha

nice list miahahaha, u are very helpful ^^

Not me...actually need to thank lee_what our informant for the list...he list it down in BenQ thread and i just copy paste and create a new thread for one ..

Nice thread, but please do update this list, at least every week.

wah! kudos for you miahahaha for this helpful thread.

but you may want to use different color for different hardwares.

example - red color for CPU and blue color for GPU.

oh, well thx for ur effort to copy n paste, and thx to lee for listing it earlier

thanks for the informative list..

Nice suggestion Doc..tomorrow will put into action ..

This post has been edited by miahahaha: Mar 21 2010, 11:51 PM

hopefully more people can contribute to this thread and eventually will be pinned !

the only 1 that stands out are BenQ S42 and Asus N82Jv... others, all roughly the same spec...

u can get d Lenovo G460, i3 350M + Nvidia 310M but free dos 4 2199, just bought it today

310M is nothing to scream abt...

u need at least a GT 330M in order to ve the same performance lvl as a 9600M GT...

lari budget bro if take 330m, lenovo 330m 2499

well, perhaps u can tell TS abt it? so that he can put that up for the others to see...

This post has been edited by astria: Mar 22 2010, 05:40 AM

Is this the same G460?? The one with GT330M ...if yes, then i'll put it up in the pricelist ..

Asus A52JR is 15.6" LCD, but its Core i5 430M. Isn't is offered with Core i5 520M? If yes then what's the price for that? I am buying soon!

I guess A52Jr only got with i5-430M...dun really know if got any with i5-520M..what is your usage of laptop and your budget??

---

Added on March 22, 2010, 12:14 pmupdated the list with the help of lee...

This post has been edited by miahahaha: Mar 22 2010, 12:14 PM

budget is around 3k to 3.5k,...And VRAM also 512MB in A52JR compare with 1GB VRAM in A42JR...

Well, your budget is quite nice...maybe you can take a look at my updated list for more info...you want 15" laptop??

---

Added on March 22, 2010, 12:22 pmThere is Lenovo Y460 which is a good gaming laptop within your budget range..but need to add a bit la ..

This post has been edited by miahahaha: Mar 22 2010, 12:22 PM

is 14" meh?

reference :

http://shop.lenovo.com/us/notebooks/ideapad/y-series/y460

Yup, all the laptops in my list is 14" ..

lenovo G-line comes with a GT 330m?
wasei...is it real? quite surprise while its Y-line is doing all the performance jobs...

Added on March 22, 2010, 2:44 pm@ Mia

This post has been edited by wanttobuylaptop: Mar 22 2010, 02:44 PM

i @ the Studio 14...

and also, S42 appeared twice... in both rm2.5k and rm3k...

haha...i just copy pasta...i also wonder why lee put it that way..nevermind, later i edit ..

Well, batusai can find S42 for RM2499 while on lowyat its RM2699, so...

This post has been edited by lee_what2004: Mar 22 2010, 03:36 PM

Wah... now that's really informative and convenient! XD
Good work good work, perhaps the number of people asking for recommendations will be lesser lo ^_____^
By the way,
There's 1 more from Toshiba, which is kind of rare XD
Satellite E200- D430
Intel i5- 520M, 4GB RAM, G310M, 500GB@RM4,899

wa...i personally cant justify the price for this toshiba...

lol, even worse than the Studio 14...

This post has been edited by astria: Mar 22 2010, 05:05 PM

Haha, its a limited edition Toshiba unit from the Avant Garde laptop series ^^
It has extremely nice- looking design, backlid keyboard, light sensor, Wi- Di (E205 have, not sure about this 1, should have ^^), feather- touch keyboard etc. etc.
Seen 1 before, and sure fell in love with it on 1st sight XD XD But its not really worth it la, too damn expensive le~
But the styling is promising, hopefully future Toshiba laptops will look like the E200

so it's more like a concept laptop???

More like HP Envy where design of laptops and features what makes it so damn expensive ...

i5-520M & 310M @ RM4899 is just ...can buy m11x easily

This post has been edited by miahahaha: Mar 22 2010, 05:21 PM

Ya, I think so too....
Kind of like a laptop to show off the design and the technologies in it.. But too expensive even for people who are willing to spend more on design hehe!
I was most disappointed with the lack of Harman/ kardon speakers T____T

i think its g460, well at least it what the spec said at that shop

This post has been edited by crazeemonkey: Mar 23 2010, 03:19 AM

Its really RM2499 with GT 330M?

yup but free dos, wit 7 (forgot what version) 2699

Even if with Win 7 @ RM2699, that still quite ...

looks like we ve a Vostro 3700 in 14"...

Yup, another laptop killer under 3k..can people can opt a 14" or 17" monster

Correction !!! [Nah.. just the color matter.. , ]
* Lenovo G460 and Acer 4745G

hm, one week too fast la, one every 6 weeks? 8 weeks? about there i think.
So miahahaha are you gonna build up the 15" tread?

for 15" laptop, its already here here
i think juz need ask ts to update it.

This post has been edited by bgkeh: Mar 24 2010, 08:34 AM

i'm smelling it's a typo. it's G310m as evryone knows

Yup, as we all know, G460 is 310M...never heard of one with GT330M ..but, need to confirm with the one who mentioned it

Added on March 24, 2010, 9:43 am@double
Me is 14" laptop lover, so 15" maybe can do later or someone else can take it a go

This post has been edited by miahahaha: Mar 24 2010, 09:43 AM

even Lenovo US site shows G460 with 310M only...

GT330M with 2.5k.. quite imba la..

Well, if there's a 14" with GT330M with the price under RM3k for sure will be for everyone...such bargain where to find ..

so how now.. its a typo no ? y dont we just call lenovo and ask =p haha

haha... mav you go and ask for that Lenovo, see if available or not ..

called lenovo ... they said they will find out and call me back

that price with that spec...really reminds me when i discover S42 last time..haha

haha..then if this spec is true, another killer 14" under 3k range...its just ..

i saw Y460 in the US site...

US$1k for HD5650 config...

doubt G460 would have such spec...

This post has been edited by astria: Mar 24 2010, 12:50 PM

I stilll doubt the existence of G460 with GT 330M

LENOVO : There is no such model available known to them within asia pacific as their market scope only covers that. other places they dont know must check website or call ..

no way im gonna call the US site.. hahaha

P/S they will bring in the model if its available in other countries, but shipping charges will be paid by the customer

Will there be significant performance drawbacks with i3 compared to i5?

mia, update the Dell Inspiron 14, now is RM1599

----------Bonus-------------
Dell Studio XPS 16 with P8700 + KFWBM33VF85LM6 = RM3619

This post has been edited by lee_what2004: Mar 27 2010, 11:16 AM

y460 + i5-540M + ATI HD5650 = anywhere selling?

This post has been edited by leng2: Mar 27 2010, 11:25 AM

Got update, under RM3k range ..now,this is one killer laptop :

Acer Aspire 4820TG-432G50
Intel Core i5 430M

500GB HDD

No 3820TG ..now,that's bad news ...

This post has been edited by miahahaha: Mar 27 2010, 05:39 PM

Why dont the 4820TG come at least with i5-520M/540M.. >.<

cause keep price low, my target still the Y460 \^o^/

Both 4820TG & Y460 have the same spec..price is different but i guess you want some stylist one ..

@double
Which Y460?? The one with 430M or 540M??

lol id go for 4820TG because of its thin & light design and the battery life of course!

and upgrade to 3 years warranty still cheaper than Lenovo Y460.. Though Y460's outer casing design on the lid is damn nice

This post has been edited by Eugene91: Mar 27 2010, 09:10 PM

4820TG look nice... when will it be available in the market? or it has been released already...

ah... hi....

wonder how much will it cost to upgrade to 4gb ram..

That 4820TG @rm 2999 looks like I can afford it. Nice specs. lolz.

Well, 4820TG really tempting with the spec ..well, if the price stayed at RM2999 when available in MY for sure this one will be one hot cake

I still not tempted

We're just saying mah.. lol..

Not time for changing system yet
