lol.. GTA IV is intensive game -- CPU and also GPU..
A42JV really suits your need..

how about this

"mom, please.. I need that laptop[A42JV] for my studies and future use"


lets poisoning sweat.gif

all laptops that lee_what2004 sugest above will lose to asus a42jv..

if you want longer battery life.. there are Acer 4820TG [i5 430M + HD5470/GMA HD] --> RM 2699

but A42JV still win...

You need to extend the warranty to 3 years for it to be international..
The Dell XPS 16 is quite hot on the touchpad area, but its not the heat from gpu/cpu but from the southbridge...

Dear Lee-White2004,

i been flipping around the page. That found that those around 2k are in my budget.

Hope u could give me the best suggestion that i need.

Requirement:

1. Switch on Long Hour (i Will get a Air Master Cooler Pad)
2. Mainly for Movie and Internet. Seldom on Game
3. Less Heat
4. Long Lasting use, because i seldom change. (My current PC is 7 yr Old P4 2.4 only.)
5. Modern design laptop... ehehehe

Everyone feel free to give me advice. Appreciate Alot... Thanks

Hi guys, just an update, it seems that some shops could help u extend ur dell laptop warranty. Was looking for the Inspiron 14R yesterday, price roughly RM2250, and some shops could help u choose the suitable warranty plan, plus they say can get discount on warranty if they do it, compared to extending warranty urself from website. Hope it helps if u're looking for a dell laptop at lyp. smile.gif

is there any more a42jr..??? but if i3 proc.. then simply no... better take i5 version


if u can raise your budget up to RM 2900 .. go for Asus A42JV [i5 450M + GT335] .. the best graphic card so far [below RM 3k,not imported wink.gif ]


if cannot...

well.. Asus A42DR is really good in term of processor[tri-core thumbup.gif ]


but by the way , you stated you want to play games.. what games do you play..??

and by the way HD5470 is low-medium card..

GT335 is high medium card.. which is thumbup.gif , thats why i suggest go for GT335

well it's for my relative actually, and i'm not so sure what game does he play. smile.gif

btw, any review on the battery life of the A42DR? seems like i can't find any on the net. is it around 3hours like Intel procs or barely 2 hours just like K40AB?
