Abang, got read first page or not?

Dell Inspiron 14R, i3 330M + ATi HD5470 Home Basic@RM2499

Or there's the Asus A42Jr, i3 350M + ATi HD5470@RM2599

got but just not sure bout the real experience using those laptops.. so try to get some advice.. anyway thanks for ur suggestion ya

cooling wise, very hard to tell... since we can't open up a laptop and peek wat's inside...

oic.. but as for cooling there is always an alternative to get a better cooling pad rite.. ? the problem for my old laptop is there are only 1 cooling hole.. ><

Simple.Write down a list of laptops within your budget,specifically recommended by forumers here,then just head down to LYP

See which you prefer,looking at the design,construction of laptop,size,weight and most importantly which you like the best

Edit: The best just get a good cooling pad lar

and for warranty, nothing beats Dell (quality) and Asus (length)...

whoa.. can upgrade to HD5650..
i bet that is for i5 430M / i5 520M spec only..
not for P8700 and i7 spec..

wonder why they not just provide upgrade to HD5730

Alright.. from the price list i would like to consider few laptops below

-Compaq CQ42-188TX, i3 330M + ATi HD5430@RM2049
-Acer 4740G, i3 330M + Nvidia 310M@RM2399
-Lenovo G460, i3 350M + Nvidia 310M@RM2349~~FreeDos@RM2199
-Dell Inspiron 14R, i3 330M + ATi HD5470 Home Basic@RM2499
-BenQ S42, P8700 + Nvidia 9600M GT/4500MHD@RM2000

Thanks

and u re going to use the laptop for??/

BenQ S42 is EOL already.. that is the best gaming laptop from the list above.. except if u want play DirectX11 game..[9600M GT not support DirectX11 game]

well.. other than S42.. why not you go for Acer 4740G, i5 430M + Nvidia 310M@RM2499 << the price could be lower than this

it depend on your requirements and needs ++ usage..

yup..
if i5 430M + HD5650 + 3-year XPS Premier Service with 3-year CompleteCover = RM 4774

Dell SXPS16 still a nice laptop to get.. because it is FullHD

the warranty is killing ~~ lol~~
