Any advice for a notebook priced less than RM1700 with the best performance and feature for the price bracket? I don't need discreet graphic so minus that feature then. Thank you in advance.

QUOTE(woit @ Jun 28 2010, 02:29 AM) just bought Asus K40AE at a bargain price. rm 1400. I always thought that Sempron was a BAD choice when you can get Athlon II Dual-Core with around the same price (Acer 4551).spec is AMD sempron M120 | ATI mobility Radeon HD4200 | 500GB HDD | 1024mb RAM DDR2 | DOS any1 interested ask the shop for the new stock as its upgraded to 500GB hdd the old one only had 320GB... overall, im satisfied with the lappy just the lack of stock RAM given is my only -ve side. DDR2 is not going to be cheap summore.   |

QUOTE(miahahaha @ Jul 3 2010, 12:42 AM) Any proof as for this statement?? I guess statement: "system with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5430 is hotter than the system with integrated HD 4250" is more objective than the word "bearable" try to suggest in your statement. ...well, even HD4650/HD4670 is bearable hot... |

QUOTE(lionelzc @ Jul 3 2010, 01:38 AM) I checkedsome online gc benchmarks and it seems that 5430 is high end gc compared to 4250 which is mid end. 5430 is nowhere near high end and as for 4250, its the integrated ones. |

QUOTE(miahahaha @ Jul 5 2010, 04:15 AM) Well, mine stated HD4650/HD4670..as for referring HD5430, as i tested it before, not really hot, and yes if you compared it to HD4250, sure it runs hotter That was exactly my point.  |

QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Jul 7 2010, 01:59 PM) Mostly is reduce RM200-300, but that depends the manufacture offer that model in freeDOS or not... The damn thing that always happened is that when you get one with Windows, the warranty can go up to 3-years as standard but for freedos you only get 1 year. Anyone notice that? |

QUOTE(fastreader @ Jul 10 2010, 02:02 AM) if the ram is DDR2, like the acer 4551..then i would suggest going for 3gb (buy another 2 gb..costing around 180++)...and u wun have to worry about ram bottleneck..or u just will get a sense of satisfaction that ur lappie isw pumped with RAM and would last u quite long... The better way is to put 4GB (2+2) instead of 3GB (1+2).If it is ddr3.like the toshiba...maybe u can try the stock 1gb first..and wait out for attractive price cut of the ddr3 ram..  otherwise,just go for 2GB (add 1 gb) for the ddr3 first and then add summore if not happy with it..  |

QUOTE(monodevil @ Jul 10 2010, 02:46 PM) owh ok..but i prefer intel proc..can i get i5 proc with my budget (Rm 2k) I believe you can get Acer 4740 with Intel i5 430 at around RM1999. But in this case you need to fork out some more money to upgrade RAM to 4GB (not compulsory).This post has been edited by JJKTP: Jul 10 2010, 02:49 PM |

QUOTE(monodevil @ Jul 10 2010, 02:56 PM) thanks for u recommendation..plan to window shopin at lowyat plaza tomorrow.. One is Intel's integrated, the other is not. I guess by that you can already know which one is much better. is there any significant different between intel gma and nvidia 3100 for video?? the price between 4740 and 4741g is about rm300?? But for the purpose/budget that you said earlier, better stick to Intel's integrated. |
