what ur opinion of asus a42dr???

I notice that MSI CX420X specs different from the website compared to Pc Fair model. The website have 320g harddisk while the Pc Fair model is 500g, but I don't know that rpm of the harddisk, anyone can provide?

Also, the hot model Acer 4741G harddisk is 5400rpm or 7200rpm?

Hye all


Need a laptop recommendation for my lil sis to do her assignment and light gaming. Ahhh Around RM1,800 only. Hmmm previosly using Acer and HP Compaq.. not so good..


Thanks in advance

Well, as we know PC Fair usually got various of deals ...there's not doubt that MSI CX420X in PC Fair comes with 500GB (an upgrade)...usually its 5400RPM ...same goes to 4741G, 5400RPM

Care to tell more your priority usage of the laptop?? Need dedicated GC or integrated will do fine?

Some recommendations :

Lenovo G455, AMD M320 + ATi HD4550 DDR3 vram, freeDOS @RM1749
Lenovo G450, T6570 + Nvidia G310M, Freedos @RM1899
Toshiba C640D-1004U, AMD P320 + ATi HD4250, freeDOS @RM 1449
Fujitsu LH520, AMD P320 + ATi HD5430 @RM1899

Thanks Miahahaha <-- nice nick name :-D

Top priority = Assignment. Yea if possible with the price range, dedicated GC will do bro. Thanks

Update: Price range now RM2000 hehe

The one RM1999 with freeDOS?
Good GPU for the price with also 2 years warranty, but if you needed it for CPU intensive jobs, others model would be better...

Interested with 13''? Dell M301z but no optical drive and vga port though or Inspiron 13R....

recommend me a good toshiba, fujitsu laptop. for multimedia/gaming purposes. 15" - 16"

Budget?
Strictly those two brands,
Toshiba Qosmio F60-BD531, 15.6'', i5 520M + Nvidia GT330M@RM4799
Fujitsu E780, 15.6'', i7 620M + Nvidia GT330M@RM6588...

ah, um. for budget around 4k. prefer a i5

Then Toshiba Qosmio F60-BD531, 15.6'', i5 520M + Nvidia GT330M@RM4799...
Else either drop the 15'' requirement or the brand requirement...
14'':
Toshiba M645-1002TX, i5 450M + Nvidia GT330M@RM3999
For better performance, Asus A42Jv, i5 450M + Nvidia GT335M@RM2799, but weaker speaker...

15'': Dell Studio XPS 16, i5 450M + ATi HD5730, FullHD@RM4102

what about the toshiba satellite? is it any good for multimedia?

Well, Toshiba Satellite don't have 15''...
and Qosmio is meant for Multimedia according by Toshiba..

hm. i'm in serious dilemma. -.- i was thinking of getting dell, but now my dad recommends me a toshiba.

Which Dell and which Toshiba?

well, for dell, the xps 15/16.
i'm not sure about toshiba. because i dont think the qosmio is kinda worth it as i'm not a hardcore gamer. so maybe a satellite for all round uses?

There is no XPS 15...
and then again, which Satellite?

um, I'd like to go for Asus A42Jv, but I don't have the time to go KL. Is there any sellers around in Subang or Shah Alam where I can look for this model ?

And, from what I've browse through the forum, I find that the price range are around 2699-2899. Does different places will have higher prices ? Ofc lowyat would be the best to look for, but I'll have a look somewhere closer to my place first.

i'm not sure with which satellite. which would be good for a little bit of gaming and multimedia stuffs? from what i see on the website. it says that satellite is an all round uses. so any satellite model should be able to support gaming and multimedia. is it?
also, do you think that dual core is outdated and better go for higher processor?

Not any satellite model would be able to game, it depends on the spec and also what kind of games you play...
Well, dual-core is outdated, but it still get the works done..

u can try to look at PAS, top floor..

saw them selling a42jk (i5-520m) b4 a42jv was introduced, so i guess they got the model now..
