I've posted past few days wanting recommendations on a few laptops.
Since then,I've bought the Asus A52J (i5-430M,upgraded to 4 gigs ram) at rm2870.
This was for my sister which is into graphic design.Did I bought it at a decent price?

I'm currently looking one for me.Was thinking about getting the same laptop as above as the price seemed attractive.
Would love to know if theres any other lappy out there with a better or similar spec at the same (preferably lower) price.

Btw,got my eye on the vostro 3700.But heard you could only get a unit online.How long does it usually take before I could my hands on it?

Thanks in advance

Dell says 2 weeks, but if got parts, within 1 week...

Quite decent price.
Want to consider Dell Studio XPS 16? P8700 + ATi HD4670, FullHD@RM2849 with coupon.
Dell Vostro 3700 only online, usually around 1-2 weeks, unless no part, then might extend to 3 weeks...

for the a52j [JK or JR..???] with the specs that you stated... the price is good actually..


anyway... with your budget [i assume it is below RM 3k] ..

Dell Vostro 3700 [17"] is a good idea , but my suggestion.. go for Dell SXPS 16 , smaller size [16 / 15.6 "] with powerful graphic[slightly better than GT330 but no CUDA technology] and higher clock speed processor...

i think.. if you order it today.. you can get it around 2 weeks[or maybe more... you can confirm it with SA]

my budget is currently 2.5k, may i know any laptop that have good quality (in other word, tahan lama) and does not have overheat problem? i have my eye on inspiron 15R, is it good and will not overheat?... (i very scare of overheat problem bcoz last time i use BenQ S41, i got overheat problem until now, i cant even scan antivirus coz it will auto shut down....)

that sounds more like a case of too much dust in the laptop...

used to own a S41... besides the GPU problem, nothing else to complain...

Do some major cleanup...use vacuum cleaner (home use one not usb)..some of my friend also use S41 before (astria also), and exception on 8600M GS problem, it shouldn't have any heat problem that can caused it to auto shutdown

Inspiron series usually quite good in cooling

JK.Out of luck finding the JR.

Erm,the DELL sxps is tempting,but the proc in it is old right?
I'm trying to find a desktop replacement if possible,able to withstand long operating hours and not likely to overheat,and able to survive a good 3,4 years.

Any thoughts on the lenovo G450 or some BenQ(S something,cant recall).Decent specs,with an awesome price to boot (just around rm2K if im not mistaken).Or are these just too old.

u mean S42??

or S57...

anyway, SXPS16 rm2999 deal still can kick the ass of many similarly price laptop with the latest hardware...

if get sxps16, better folk out some money to get a cooler.

Ah,the s57,exactly.

Aight,thanks then.Narrowed it to either the Vostro 3700 and sxps16.Maybe the benq s57 <<< any thoughts on this.Haven't heard much about benq's rep

similar to SXPS16 in terms of hardware, but has got a BD Combo drive, numpad, but lack Full HD monitor...

the design may not be ur cup of tea also...

You can't really find anything with better spec especially the GPU and FullHD for that price, RM2849..

Dell SXPS16 is really the best buy for gaming preference, the other would be Vostro 3700 but its 17" in size so kinda big ...

BenQ S57 is also nice, just like astria said, the spec are somewhat similar with SXPS in terms of performance but its not a Full HD screen

hye...

Compaq CQ42-189TX, i3 330M + ATi HD5430@RM2299
Acer 4741G, i3 330M + Nvidia 310M@RM2199
or if he don't mind 13'' and no dvd drive
Dell Inspiron 13R, i3 330M + ATi HD5470, Home Basic@RM2299

how old is ur cousin anyway???

Please comment on

RM1999
Dell Inspiron M301z AMD® Athlon™ II Neo Dual-Core Mobile Processor K325
or

RM2199
Dell Vostro 3300
Intel® Core™ i3 330M(2.13GHz, Dual Core, 4T, 3MB L3)

Which one is more worth since diff of RM200?

Used in office tasks, surfing...

For office work, M301z would do fine, better spend the extra rm200 for warranty...
unless you need dvd drive..
and note M301z no vga port...
