so basically, best bet is that i go to low yat to check this machine out?

1. Brand -any brand but preferably those with easy to find parts or got after sales outlets.
2. Budget -as low as possible...hehehe...
3. Specs -no atom nor AMD processor, at least 2gb RAM, HD at least 320gb, wi-fi, bluetooth, DVD (but if not available also fine)
4. Size -as small and light as possible -travel a lot.

Need it for presentation -powerpoint + video. Browse internet on the go, downloading, check emails, lots of net browsing.

Thanks for the advises.

1. Brand = Toshiba, Lenovo, Asus, Dell
2. Budget = rm3500
3. Specs = preferably something like 500GB HDD, gaming graphics, and really good n fast processer
4. Size = 14' or 15.6'


wanted to buy this weekend. thanks

For girl, better 4820TG ..lightweight and also easy to carry around, long battery life compared to CQ36...best for student in class

Yup, gotta try it yourself see if it really up to your par

As low as possible is how low?? ...give us some numbers to work with

as i already recommended in the other thread :

Lenovo Y460, i5 540M + HD5650 @RM3499
Asus A42Jv, i5 450M + GT335M @RM2999
Dell SXPS16, P8700 + HD4670 @RM2999
Dell Vostro 3700, i5 430M + GT330M @RM2849

i had my eye on the lenovo and the asus. do they have any probems. heating, crashing etc.

So far no...

value for money, i guess asus giv u more than lenovo..

lenovo is a bit pricey than asus imo..

Well, you need to account the extra 2GB RAM cost on Asus and better CPU on lenovo..

Though Lenovo is a little pricey than Asus, for the price given its reasonable with the spec

performance i think both almost at same, well the lenovo is superior in graphics. it looks good too unlike the asus pale black colour.

anyway i'll do the survey at lowyat and if it happen that lenovo cost like 100 or 200 less than the 3500 budget, i'll buy the lenovo.

thanks for the help guys. really do

Well, for Y460 got 2 variant of CPU :

1) Lenovo Y460, i5 430M + HD5650 @RM3199 ---> but kinda hard to find as this variant limited in stock (almost no more now )

2) Lenovo Y460, i5 540M + HD5650 @RM3499 ----> also low on stock but still available in shops

in regards to size
id like it to be light and mobile enough to carry anywhere
not really bulky
battery life if possible more than 5 or 6 hours can

err sorry if i ask a noob question

what is tri core and dual core??

>< thanks~

Worth to look at MacBook if you need that much of battery life...
or can wait for Asus U35Jc, which should be around in couple weeks more..

As the name implies, tri core means the CPU has 3 cores and dual core is 2 cores...

isnt the words "tri core" and "dual core" explained?? tri=3, dual=2

woot. another question about both the ASUS a42JV n the IdeaPad y460. is it still in the market. i mean these are easily found at lowyat right???

a42jv still got in lowyat.. but i didnt notice any y460 whn i scout for laptop yesterday..

looking for a laptop
15.6 inches
with numeric keypad
and long battery life above 5 hours
with decent graphics
any recomendation?

Nothing fits the requirement...

Haha... Both are actually low on stock in Low Yat cause I just bought my A42JV last week and was actually wanting to buy Y460 at 1st...

The sellers are wanting to hold their stock on Y460 and recommends you to buy other lappies instead, they marked up the price to 3599 also...

For A42Jv, it's also low on stock and you can hardly bargain much for it from the original price nowadays..
