thanks for suggestion. i used to format a lot of laptops before (my friend's one).

is there any tips for a will-be-new Asus user like me?

is there any accessories i shud get?

i'tm thinking of coolermaster notebook infinite cooler. i already reserved Rm150 just for that since.... i'm quite lazy to turn off and such.

instead of rushing in to buy a cooler...check to see if it matches your laptop vents..but the infinite cooler should be a safe all rounder type

hi all, i went to survey today

Acer 4741G, i5 450M + Nvidia 310M, 3 years warranty@RM2299

is it true that the acer screen looks a bit dark compared to inspiron 14 R and toshiba satelite even though it has Nvidia?

and i think Acer 5741 with larger screeen looks so attractive to me..

In short,

Budget: <2500
Brand: Acer/dell/vaio EA22/toshiba
waranty : 3 years
spec: actually if i dont play games, do i really need i5?

im now quite confused and dunno how to decide....

pls hellppp...thx ya

Can someone suggest me a laptop for myself. Gonna further study at UK.

Budget: RM2500
Usage: for study purpose(engineering),and surfing
Screen size: 14-15 inch

Thank you.

well, actually if you're getting the A42Dr, you need to buy an OS, so its gonna add around RM200? to your price...

imo acer screen looks bright enough for me, its averaging 200 nits (which is the average)
on whether to get an i5, depends on your usage, if you're using editing videos/photos, i.e photoshop or After effects, its better to get an i5. And if i5 falls into your budget, might as well get it. more Power is better than no power.

Lol, Asus A42JV is standart answer lur..... and asus has 2 years international warranty.

that part, i rather stay silent.

but then, laptop which comes with freeDOS, how are we gonna get the drivers for it for WinXP/Vista/7? is it be given at the time of purchase or we need to find it ourselves?

doubleU, thanx for ur answer...be more confident to buy it after days of survey...

i suppose they will give u the driver cd or u can download it from asus's website

Getting Win7 wouldn't be a problem as those drivers are quite easy to get on the web.

win7 is available at almost all computer shops. for drivers you could download from asus official websites or go to service centre and they will do the same thing for you. =.=

Hey, my cousins needs a new laptop. He's probably getting it during October or November

Budget : <RM4000
Brand : Any
Specs : More towards gaming

Any recommendation would be nice ! Thanks !

if u get it during that time the price will already drop and maybe come out with new models...i recommend to wait till he wants to buy it =)

Asus N53Jq, i7 740QM + Nvidia GT425M @ RM3999
Asus N43Jq, i7 740QM + Nvidia GT425M @ RM3999

any brand
2 - 2.5k
Icore 5 if possible
any

very possible. Asus A42jv

how much? can pm me the price? can nego or not?

I'm looking to buy new laptop after this Hari Raya holiday...

After reading the past posts, I think Asus A42jv is suit me my budget and requirement...

I also notice that A52JC offer such a same specification with 640g HDD and 15" screen size..hmm...I wonder if 15" is too big for personal use or not? The normal laptop use 14" right? I mean is it most of you will choose 14 instead of 15...

One more thing, I want to go to lowyat for the next few weeks (maybe end of september) to buy this laptop...any suggestion for the better place to get this laptop at better price? I'm not familiar with LYP...

almost all shop have the same price[maybe opening price would be higher]... so... it depends on your bargain skill

i tot i7 is not suitable for gaming?

when it comes to gaming... GPU plays the most important role..

anyway.. you question isnt so clear..
there are i7 dual core which is high clocked.. --preferable in gaming as it is high clock...
but well.. for i7 quad.. there are also games that fully utilized quad core in i7 quad.. such as RE5 which is very good...

well.. if you really gaming.. choosing high clocked dual core is enough.. now.. high clocked dual core is i7 620M ..[yes it is i7] ..

but if you choose for the future[maybe upcoming games can fully utilize quad core in i7 quad]... go for i7
