Hello Sifus,


1. Brand. = Any brand (not Acer) that has warranty
2. Budget = below RM1300
3. Specs. = Play movies and access WiFi
4. Size. = 10 inch screen or bigger

Need some expert advise. I am retired, don't play video games but travel a lot. So, my needs are simple. How about a netbook for playing movies while travelling? Then, it's WIFI access. So, please recommend something cheap and good(no more income, mar).
Long battery life is surely the top priority else I have to get a spare battery. BTW, cost of the spare battery?
Thanks for your help.

above is my personal view, thx

thinking to buy Vostro 3300.. RM2199-30 = 2169

worth to buy on current spec?

what is your usage...and requirement..?

the spec seems okay.. although you can find better.. but it is based on your needs and requirements..

normal surfing, word, excel processing, and office and admin tasks...

yes.. vostro 3300 seems okay

how abt the same value can get better specs or with that specs, can get better value for money or cheaper?

if u dont mind 14" .. i suggest you to go for ->
Asus K40Ie , T6570 + Nvidia 310M -> RM 2100 [better graphic]
Lenovo G460 , i3 350M + Nvidia 310M -> RM 2100 [freedos , better processor , graphic]
Acer 4740 , i5 430M + GMA HD -> RM 1990 [ better processor ]
BenQ S42 , P8700 + 9600m GT/ GMA HD -> RM 2000 [ this is EOL .. lucky if u still can get , better processor and graphic]

Hello Everyone,


1. Brand. = Any brand (that is not Compaq/HP/Acer) with AMD processor
2. Budget = below than RM5000
3. Specs. = Slightly above average gamer
4. Size. = 14" or above

Need your advise to buy a new laptop! I love to play games for a quite ammount of time and when I'm not playing, I like to download movies. So, I would need a good laptop with a good cooling system. Currently, I'm using Compaq Presario CQ40 and it can't endure a long term gaming. Can only play games for 30 minutes or so before it automatically shutdown because of the graphic card heating up like crazy!

The processor must be AMD because my father work in AMD himself. Would be hard to ask for a loan if it's from Intel. So, please recommend a laptop that is suitable with it's price!

Thanks for your help in advance!

sori i never see a AMD cost more then 2.5k,

my advise is use Credit Card to make loan.u can pay abit then the rest pay by credit card installment.

if me
DELL-1645-72451G-W7R-BLK Black,
Intel Core i7-720,
4GB DDR3 RAM,
1GB ATI HD4670,
500GB HDD, DVD-RW,
Win7 Pro
4899.00 studio XPS 16
[attachmentid=1607924]


DELL-1458-72451G-W7P-BLK
Intel Core I7-720,
4GB DDR3 RAM,
500GB HDD,
1GB 5450 ATI,
W7 Home Premium
4399.00 studio 14

both is more then enough haha

above is my personal view, thx

Thanks for the suggestion!
But I'm just a student. Don't have a credit card yet. I have my own money to buy a laptop though. It just that loan is easier since I do not have to have a hungry stomach for months!

Any other suggestions out there? It does not necessary to be near rm5k, anything less or much less is really appreciated!

borrow parent credit card, if can't then tell what is ur budget so we can suggest according ur ability to buy

wow.. your dad works at AMD company...?
ask him if there are newer /better AMD processor for laptop that will be available in Malaysia..

because i can find any better with your high budget and requirement..

if u dont mind intel.. you can go for
Sony Vaio EA16 [i5 520M + HD5650] - RM 3999 pretty cheap for you
Lenovo Y460 [i5 540M + HD5650] - RM 3599 even cheaper
Asus N82Jv [i5 520M + GT335/GMA HD] - RM 3999 USB 3.0 is tempting
Asus N61Ja [i5 520M + HD5730] - RM 4799 slightly better graphic
Dell Studio XPS 16 [i5 520M + HD5650] - RM 4779 FullHD resolution

since you are gamer.. i suggest go for high clocked dual core processor

well. hope you can asked your father about the laptop that has AMD processor
