i have a budget @ 3k and will be doing some gaming, working, photo editing and movies-watchign with it.

i have a bad experience with DELL a.s.s and i will not touch it with a 7m pole, even if beign asked to.

my main concern is heat, any lappie with a decent heat management system?

i guess if a little bit can la..

Asus A42Jv, i5 450M + Nvidia GT335M@RM2999

damn spot on for my budget, definitely getting this woohoo.. if anyone hunting for it already, wouldnt hurt posting here the price that they pay for it.. thanks!

lol damn.. after reading around, seems like AMD x4 cores are going to hit the market really soon... sigh, wait first i guess, thought was gonna get that asus one.. but since i'm not that desperate and still have at least till august to make my purchase, i'm all good.

hahahhaa, yeah, i'm waiting for a user review on A42Jv...

if i buy now, i will buy this one. i will never buy from dell again.

now can't play high end game, my lappie is so weak, compaq cq41, bought 3, 2 went to service center to replace LCD already within 5 months of buying. lucky got 3 years warranty

i guess the poison is too strong on this one, i'll be getting my a42jv tomorrow... XD

kakakak, obviously the review will be sparkling, since its a HUGE upgrade from my current notebook

hahaha, so what do you want me do?

I got this copy of DragonAge origin lying around, cant wait to play with full setting

hahhaha, well, i'm gonna pick up the lappie after work tomorrow, think i'll spend the entire night playign around with it

already bargained got a very good price for it

hahahah, how i wish, one seller told me i'm a lowballer when i ask for 2850, in the end i settled for 2880

oh the awesomeness that is my new lappie...

i think i need another 2gb ontop... currently eating 1.2gb right of the box! O.o

eh no no i just got myself an A42JV less than an hour ago, just installing some protection for it

wakkaka, maggi for 2 more weeks ok what some people saved up till must eat maggi for one whole year

left side: vga, hdmi, 2usb, mic/earphone jack
right: power, LAN, 1 usb, dvd

hmmm i bought this laptop of mine (A42JV) for 2879 (yes i know i said 2880 last time, but rm1, bah ). Not even bargaining that hard actually, but i bought it from a lowyat seller, brand new sealed box mind you

eh no no obviously its 2gb, i think 2gb ram more = 150 or so

if you have mad bargaining skill might be able to get 3k for the lappie + 4gb ram, all the best

when that comes out i'll be like WTS A42JV LOL

waw maybe just maybe asus realized (most probably those lowyat sellers) that a42jv really good value, hence quickly raise price O.o.

i would suggest to buy from trusted lowyat.net vendors

price so good, i bought mine without the upgrade for 2880
