I repeat
Point 1) You need pretty fast HDD.
You can't do raid 0 in normal notebook. So, SSD is your best bet.
Note: 7200rpm notebook HDD is not as fast as 7200rpm desktop HDD.

Point 2) You need a quad.
Some said i7 is overkill. Some say Q6600 is doing a decent job. 
These guys are talking about desktop processor.
For notebook, the nearest performance to desktop Q6600 and also nearest to your budget is i7 720Q

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php

Choice is yours.

P/S Member also recommend bigger capacity of memory. Do consider 8GB memory too. Another RM400 for the memory.
*
comparison between 5400rpm and 7200rpm just about the same. yes, the different can be feel when games/program load but the margin is not too massive. yet, people willing to choose 7200rpm since the price is almost in same range as 7200rpm.

SSD? bah. with that budget, thats the last thing i would recommend. everyone knows why. rolleyes.gif

somehow i gotta agree with i7-720. but you can use large amount or ram to compensate if you are not using i7. i think its more logical, but different price for different specs.

TS, just look at a Toshiba or Asus line of laptops. Pick a few that you like then get back to us. It's because of this:
http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/laptop-...a-win-hp-fails/
Ignore the Sony one. That's because they don't have a large enough sample due to their products being overpriced.
Also, it's better you get a hands on test on a few of these laptops yourself first to narrow down your choices. Then, it's easier for us to help you.
Nice try, Xzbiteve Jobs.

lmao JackAlvins, why i can't find those Xzbiteve Jobs quotes?

oh wait....

unless the 3k that TS mention is USD, i don think we are anything near macbooks, let alone with i7 and SSD..
7.2k RPM HDD is still acceptable, but honestly la, SSD, price/GB is way way too overpriced, right now is 40GB for RM430...install W7 and u have ~30GB left, too impractical...i know there are bigger size that goes up to 160GB, but the SSD alone will cost TS half his budget...so unless we are talking in a thread that have 10k for laptop budget, i don think we need to further mention SSD anymore...it's just an overpriced piece of tech right now

lol...just dump ur message here and come check on monday lo...lol
agree with that u posted actually

no offense but only fanboy unrealistic fella will keep suggesting something that they like/owned when the situation is not allowed (budget, screen size), and there is other specs which way better than that.

don't deny it. i saw you'd even suggesting i7 in lappy's gaming thread. doh.gif

EDIT : typo.

ya la....he keep fail to notice that TS is under a tight budget...core i7 is expensive and out of reach for 3k budget...

i can accept i7 in this case. but SSD.. man. for real? why you really want to rush? can't wait of loading 20 more secs?

i'd use 5400rpm for my last Acer for gaming and everything, no problem that i faced. yep, it slower like what? 4 5 secs? i have no problem for wait. after some times, i upgraded to 500GB 7200rpm, almost no significant improvement. i'd tried both speed personally. so i know what i am talking about, not based on some benchmarking result or somethin'.

if you have an extra bucks, then you can consider SSD. came onn sir. be realistic.

'Desktop Replacement' typed is created for a reason.

simple. the reason is we want portability. EVERYONE know its stupid to compare real desktop with desktop-replacement desktop.

do you understand that in the first place?

/no offense.

So, you mean the i7 + SSD notebook is not portable?
Of course, I recommend a "desktop-replacement" notebook that is EQUALLY portable.
In fact, SSD is lighter than generic HDD. 

Again thread starter did not ask for portability. Why divert to fit your illusion of portability?
*
listen here my VIP friend.

1 - i (we?) do not have problem with your suggestion of i7 & SSD. because what you said is true - it is powerful. no one dare to doubt that since it is a fact.

2 - the problem is when you keep stressing that fact, yet TS budget is not sufficient to afford that.

3 - since TS is insufficient funds to buy a desktop replacement laptop, you suggest to go for desktop instead because its cheaper yet powerful.

4 - when i said desktop replacement is created for portability, you'd answer TS does not want/care about portability since he'd not mention it in the first post.

5 - i answer back - so posting in Mobile Computing thread instead of Desktop thread have nothing to do with portability?

6 - then you told me that i am divert this discussion.

everything is related. its just up to ones wheter he can relate it or not.

Can it totally decrease a laptop's weight by 10%?? If it's 5%, then there's no meaning at all since you won't feel much about it.

5%? lulz. not even there when we talk about desktop replacement laptop.

What is Intel G6950? I don't know what is G6950.
Assuming this is desktop, i think it's old desktop. WD Green 320GB? It pales when it compares to Velociraptor.
SSD is the "faster than Velociraptor" for notebook.
Moreoever, 7200rpm notebook HDD is slower than desktop WD Green 7200rpm 320GB.
So, moving from WD Green 7200rpm 320GB to 7200rpm notebook HDD is a DOWNGRADE.

I'm not suggesting thread starter to spend 3K to downgrade system (unless he owns a P3 or P4 desktop system).
Who fails to understand desktop-replacement notebook?
