Added on tongue.gif tongue.gif Some personal recommendation by astria for 14" laptops

QUOTE(astria @ time unknown)
Multimedia : 1) Asus A42Jv, 2) Lenovo Ideapad Y460, 3)Sony VAIO EA16

- Best GPU u can find for a 14", so it's down to personal preference of brands and warranty. A42Jv basically stunned everyone, stripping off the fancy stuff, and slash rm1000 from the price tag. Y460's price has been decreased time and again which still makes it a good buy. Vaio EA16 is still worth considering, especially if u love to choose the colour, but lacks features compared to Asus N82Jv, and given the price of the other 2 models, unless you are a Vaio lover, you probably won't be looking at it.

CULV : 1) Acer Aspire Timeline 4810TZ, 2) Asus UL80Vt, 3) Dell Inspiron 14z

- why not UL80Vt??? to me, a CULV with integrated graphic is more than enuf, since the most demanding it needs to do is probably HD movies only. Intel GMA is sufficient for such jobs. but why UL80Vt second? due to performance:price ratio... sure Inspiron 14z is cheaper, but 4810TZ offers the same spec as well... Basically no changes since we have yet to see the ULV CPU from Intel.

Value : 1) Acer Aspire 4551/Toshiba C640D-1004U, 2) Acer Aspire 4741G/Compaq CQ42-189TX, 3) Dell Inspiron 14

- this segment is pretty interesting, we have a number of ties here. Aspire 4551 and C640 are downright dirt cheap. Add Windows and upgrade to 2GB RAM, and they are still cheaper than the 2nd place machines. New 45nm AMD 25W CPU with Radeon graphic are decent enough for everyday computing, but take note C460D has only 2 USB ports. Aspire 4741G and CQ42 come with Core i3 and dedicated graphic card that will give better performance and allows for some light games. Inspiron 14 is backed by Dell's excellent warranty service at a low price, albeit using Pentium Dual Core which lacks HTT compared to Core i3.

Work : 1) Asus A42Dr, 2) Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG

- this is a new category, for those who are looking for a machine to do work like Photoshop, but still prefer 14", without breaking their wallet. A42Dr is a clear winner as it packs a AMD Phenom II x3 inside the chasis, better than the dual cores with HTT, but not as expensive as a quad core. TimelineX 4820TG is in the list as well as it's a light machine with great battery life, ideal for those who needs to move around often.


budget RM 4k , read this..
QUOTE(kae7 @ time unknown)
Lenovo Y460 [i5 540M + HD5650] , RM 3699 - better processor
Sony Vaio EA16 [i5 520M + HD5650] , RM 3999 - its VAIO !! , and has various color option[5 options to choose] , stylish looks
Dell Studio XPS 16 [i5 450M + HD565V] , RM 3999 - FullHD resolution !! , stylish looks,nice color..
Asus N82Jq [i7 720QM + Nvidia GT335M] , RM3799 - USB 3.0 !! , 2yrs international warranty.
Asus A42JV [i5 450M + GT 335] , RM 2699 - cheapest laptop for high gaming...

hmm...

i think i better state what i wanna use it for...

firstly...i intend to use it for my studies..so it will be a lot of moving..from home to uni and vice versa..and of course to type my reports(at uni, at home i use my desktop tongue.gif)...so weight will be my concern here..=)

2nd...is the processor & graphic card suffiecient to run photoshop? will be using this application a lot..

3rd..of course is the hard disc space..if possible i hope its enough to last me for four years..dun wan spend on external SSD if possible..and whether the hard disc is vulnerable to knocks or not...from what i know..SSD is more stable than ur typical hard disc? correct me if i am wrong...and no..no movies will be on this netbook...

last but not least will the keyboard interface..whether the buttons are in the "logical" place or not....eg.some netbooks/laptop has their Del button so far away...sweat.gif


so far acer ferrari has quite suited my liking(externally)......

so can the Dell Inspiron M301z match this ferrari? thanks. notworthy.gif

Intel's Core architecture has always been better than AMD's K8 and K10... clock for clock and core for core, AMD sure cannot match them...

but AMD compensate that with cost and complete platform... their CPU have always been cheaper, but still with sufficient performance, and their integrated graphic is way ahead of Intel GMA... at the very least, Mobility Radeon can provide hardware acceleration for Flash 10.1, but not GMA...

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.. sweat.gif

Well aside from the onsite, you got screen upgrade, better design and a complete cover which you can bet if they're gonna change/upgrade another model when yours broke intentionally(Oops... did I say that?? tongue.gif)

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.. sweat.gif

Yea i cant find any BenQ S42 around anymore.. >< anyway i use the laptop mainly more online surfing/chatting.. video/movie.. sometimes play online game or facebook game.. usually use for long hour..

Do you make video of your sims 2..? want to play sims 2 in high graphic setting..?
if yes.. you need performance laptop[better processor]

well..
I suggest.. you raise your budget a bit.. and get Dell Inspiron 14R for RM 2199[i3 330M + Intel HD graphics]

or even
Asus K40Ie for RM 2099 [T6570 + Nvidia 310M]
Lenovo G450 for RM 1999 [T6570 + Nvidia G310M]

Dell Inspiron 15[T4400 spec] is consider good actually..

but better go for better processor..

Well, Acer 4551 would be a nice choice as per given budget....if not then what our bro (kae7) suggested is pretty good nod.gif...go for Asus (2 years warranty) or Dell Inspiron (best after sales service)

considering migrating from desktop to notebook.

1. Brand : Any brand, as long as it have a good customer service, warranty issue

2. Budget : currently rm2k max, but if needed, can fund rm500 more biggrin.gif

3. Specs : u suggest, i will use this notebook to run adobe photoshop, some video editing and surfing internet.

4. Size : 14'': if my budget can get me a 15'' do suggest too!

5. Capabilities : thinking to extend to LCD monitor which support 1920x1080 reso, if my budget permit me to have this reso on external monitor, pls do suggest me..

in my consideration right now :

- Compaq CQ42
- Asus K40Ab
- Dell Vostro 3400
- Asus A42F i3

most from the list exceeded rm2k, so i need recommendation to get below 2k, if possible.

I suggest go for your max budget since you are running some photoshop,etc needed bigger ram,better graphic card to run smooth bit.
You can try go for Acer with cheaper price and better spec. But about the customer service and warranty i think Asus and Hp should suitable your choice.

Any laptop recommendation for the below listed requirement???

1. Brand.... Dell, Asus, Sony, Lenovo

- Graphics : Do not need a dedicated graphics card
- VGA/HDMI Output
- Preferably good set of speakers

yes VPCZ116GG/B is really a good choice... its around RM 7.8k only... and it is slim + weight about 1.38kg only...
it has 128GB SSD which can guarantee faster processing... + 6GB RAM + GT330 with CUDA technology for your graphic work thumbup.gif
it is also Full HD too.. but.. it lack of BD player[its okay for me]
i5 540M seems okay...
yes.. it is really a good choice.. go for it..

or.. if you want quad core laptop..
you can go for Sony Vaio F117 .. the price is RM 7299..
it is i7-720QM laptop...means.. better processor...
compared to Z116, it lacks of DVD drive[but it has BD drive], it lacks of speed.. but it has better processor, it come with 500GB[5400rpm though] HDD

well.. your choice is better @ Z116

do you travel/stay oversea..?
yes,. asus offer 2 yrs global warranty..

well Asus N82JV[i5 520M + GT335] one of the good choice too..its priced RM 3999

it has 1 USB 3.0 which is 10 times faster than normal USB 2.0 ..

the Nvidia GT 335 with optimus technology is really good actually... but still lose than HD 5650 in term of directx support... it doesnt support DirectX11 which is not suitable if u want to use the laptop for couple years.. and play newer games which require DirectX11 .. GT335 only support until DirectX10.1 ...


Lenovo Y460[i5 540M + HD5650] is still better choice..

it has better processor too...

so.. its up to you..

Lenovo Y460 [i5 540M + HD5650] , RM 3599 - better processor
Sony Vaio EA16 [i5 520M + HD5650] , RM 3999 - its VAIO !! , and has various color option[5 options to choose] , stylish looks
Dell Studio XPS 16 [i5 430M + HD5650] , RM 4200 - FullHD resolution !! , stylish looks,nice color..
Asus N82JV [i5 520M + GT335] - USB 3.0 !! , 2yrs international warranty...

i just need good enough spec to last me for 2-3 years, portable (13-15') , good battery life (>5hours more or less) , good value, durable. Not interested to use it to game since i have a desktop at home

and btw, if i buy the dell, can i skip all the hassle of buying it tru online and just go to the shop and buy it straight from the shelf?

i would say M301Z is more on entertainment...

at least the graphic is better than GMA... can support hardware acceleration when Flash 10.1 is out...

13R concentrates on CPU performance...

Hello Sifus,


1. Brand. = Any brand (not Acer) that has warranty
2. Budget = below RM1300
3. Specs. = Play movies and access WiFi
4. Size. = 10 inch screen or bigger

Need some expert advise. I am retired, don't play video games but travel a lot. So, my needs are simple. How about a netbook for playing movies while travelling? Then, it's WIFI access. So, please recommend something cheap and good(no more income, mar).
Long battery life is surely the top priority else I have to get a spare battery. BTW, cost of the spare battery?
Thanks for your help.

Hello Everyone,


1. Brand. = Any brand (that is not Compaq/HP/Acer) with AMD processor
2. Budget = below than RM5000
3. Specs. = Slightly above average gamer
4. Size. = 14" or above

Need your advise to buy a new laptop! I love to play games for a quite ammount of time and when I'm not playing, I like to download movies. So, I would need a good laptop with a good cooling system. Currently, I'm using Compaq Presario CQ40 and it can't endure a long term gaming. Can only play games for 30 minutes or so before it automatically shutdown because of the graphic card heating up like crazy! sad.gif

The processor must be AMD because my father work in AMD himself. Would be hard to ask for a loan if it's from Intel. So, please recommend a laptop that is suitable with it's price! icon_question.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

But I'm just a student. Don't have a credit card yet. I have my own money to buy a laptop though. It just that loan is easier since I do not have to have a hungry stomach for months! tongue.gif

Any other suggestions out there? It does not necessary to be near rm5k, anything less or much less is really appreciated! drool.gif

Need your advise to buy a new laptop! I love to play games for a quite ammount of time and when I'm not playing, I like to download movies. So, I would need a good laptop with a good cooling system. Currently, I'm using Compaq Presario CQ40 and it can't endure a long term gaming. Can only play games for 30 minutes or so before it automatically shutdown because of the graphic card heating up like crazy! sad.gif

The processor must be AMD because my father work in AMD himself. Would be hard to ask for a loan if it's from Intel. So, please recommend a laptop that is suitable with it's price! icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

Thanks for your help in advance!

wow.. your dad works at AMD company...? smile.gif
ask him if there are newer /better AMD processor for laptop that will be available in Malaysia..

because i can find any better with your high budget and requirement..

if u dont mind intel.. you can go for
Sony Vaio EA16 [i5 520M + HD5650] - RM 3999 pretty cheap for you
Lenovo Y460 [i5 540M + HD5650] - RM 3599 even cheaper
Asus N82Jv [i5 520M + GT335/GMA HD] - RM 3999 USB 3.0 is tempting
Asus N61Ja [i5 520M + HD5730] - RM 4799 slightly better graphic
Dell Studio XPS 16 [i5 520M + HD5650] - RM 4779 FullHD resolution thumbup.gif

since you are gamer.. i suggest go for high clocked dual core processor

well. hope you can asked your father about the laptop that has AMD processor wink.gif

depend.. i3 and i5 is different in term of processor clock speed

i3 doesnt have turbo boost technology .. i5 have it.. turbo boost technology can boost the clock speed[depend on the max clock speed]

Guys,
I need a help!! urgent!!
I surveyed Acer Aspire 4745g 14" notebook somewhere at Sg Buloh. They offered to me starting price RM2799 which includes printer hp d2660. since I already have a printer, I ask them to lower the price but they insist on change the printer with cooling pad. Ok then, I asked them to add extra 2G RAM and sum up the price details. They gave me best price RM3138 after add another RM100 for zero installment charge.

So here are the details:
-Acer Aspire 4745g 14" notebook
-plus cooling pad
-extra 2G RAM ddr3
-plus RM100 for zero installment charge
-plus hidden charge for them installing laptops with windows, drivers etc

Is it worth it for me to buy it with price around RM3138?

Hi,would really appreciate it if anyone could recommend me possibly two laptops. One for me,and another one for my sister who's into graphic design.

For me:

1. Brand: Preferably not from Acer.My last one broke in half (opening and closing motion of the screen was too much I suppose) after 2,3 years. Maybe a Dell,I heard they have great after-purchase value, or an Asus or anything else that would suit me.

2. Budget: +/- Rm2k (Could go to 3k if it really is worth the money)

3. Specs: Everyone's talking about this new intel;i-processors. Was just wondering if those core 2 duo processor are about to be obsolete. Anyway, I'm just a student with basic needs I suppose. Nothing high end. Just for it to be able to support those engineering softwares (autocad etc) and maybe a few image editing ( illustrator,gimp etc) without it lagging by much.

I don't really mind about portability, I guess it be pretty much a desktop replacement for me. Just would like it to last long (possibly 5 years?),and possible to stay on for long hours without sending it to hell.

4. Size: 14/15 not too small atleast.

Ive been looking around, and the ones that caught my eyes are:
-Samsung R580 (read a review on pcmag.com,seems like a prefect match,not sure if this is available in Malaysia,thus not sure about the price)
-Asus U30Jc-1A,UL30A-A1,UL80Vt-A1 (I'm very vague on how to differentiate them, but reviews seems good,so,just putting it here just in case)
-Those dell laptops they have on dell.com.my.I saw an inspiron 14R going on at Rm2099 and the Studio 14 at Rm3199. Is the extra 1k worth it?



For my sister:

Brand: Any,but I'm under this assumption that Macs are way better when it comes to graphic design.

Budget: +/-Rm 3k (Or cheaper,if possible =P)

Specs: Since shes into graphic design, I suppose a machine that could handle heavy software like Photoshop/Illustrator with ease. Big harddisk space, and,uhm,sorry,but I'm not really sure what are a designer needs,maybe some help here?

Size: 15/16? The bigger the better right? But she has to go back and fourth to college with this,so,maybe a big screen,but on the light side possibly?


Yup,so,please,the best recommendations if possible.Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I would like to buy a gaming laptop.
1. Brand: does not matter, as long as it has good customer service and warranty service
2. Budget: does not matter, as long as it can fulfill my needs
3. Specs: cpu prefer 5i or better
4. Size: >15"
5. Capabilities: gaming (Starcraft 2, Warhammer, etc), movies, internet, etc

Here I mostly read about Y460, VPCEA16 etc, but i haven't seen AS5740G-524G-64MN mentioned which also has ati 5650, is this better or worse compared for gaming purpose?

Thanks in advance for all advice!

2. Budget: does not matter, as long as it can fulfill my needs
3. Specs: cpu prefer 5i or better
4. Size: >15"
5. Capabilities: gaming (Starcraft 2, Warhammer, etc), movies, internet, etc

Here I mostly read about Y460, VPCEA16 etc, but i haven't seen AS5740G-524G-64MN mentioned which also has ati 5650, is this better or worse compared for gaming purpose?

Thanks in advance for all advice!

Yes, that's true, but that's overkill ^^ i do not need an alienware...as i do not super super game...i just like to play some games and watch movies and do some internetting, chatting, etc
So I just prefer a good graphic card like ati 5650 and for cpu i5

Then its Lenovo Y460 for you then

Intel Core i5 540M + ATi HD5650 @RM3599 nod.gif...this would satisfy your need nod.gif

Others would be :

Asus N82Jv, i5 520M + GT335M @RM3999

Sony VAIO EA16, i5 520M + HD5650 @RM3999

Added on June 6, 2010, 10:19 amAs for 5470G, cannot give any feedback because i dun really tested the unit but its a 15" laptop and should be on par with the one i listed above nod.gif

the 64bit is because the window 64 bit can usable 4gb, if the window is 32 bit the ram even is 4gb but it oni show usable 2gb.

autocad more important is increase ram for loading n 3d software to execute.

add 2gb ram should be enough... or u prefer big size of screen

why you need dedicated graphic card above 1GB???[is there any gc that above 1GB VRAM] is it concern you how much the VRAM is..??

64 bit is the OS... Windows 64 Bit can utilise 4GB ram and higher.. which is needed in your work[autocad/gaming/3d software].. the higher the ram.. the faster the speed,more task can be done..[not processor speed]...

if u can raise your budget.. go for Lenovo Y460[ i5 430M + HD5650] .. which is priced RM 3.2k .. well it is very Limited.. better hurry !!

well .. i'm consider you will be more in your working[3d software/autocad]..

so... Acer 5741G is one of the best choice too [ i5 520M + G320] - RM2899 .. it has better processor , but low-mid end graphic

the others is Acer 4745G [i5 430M + HD5470[with GMA HD] - RM 2599

Acer 4820TG [i5 430M + HD5470] - RM 2999 - acer timeline series..which has long battery life , 8 hours

Well, price goes up & down...so cannot exactly be confirmed on which price is it now...as for me, 5471G seems like a good choice for you..but still remember than you are looking for something in 14" range, so i guess Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG would be a good buy nod.gif

Well, 4820TG offers slim and portability (mobility) while 5471G offers a larger screen size, higher clocked CPU & bigger RAM...

So, the choice is in your hand, want mobility and light notebook then 4820TG is perfect choice while 5471G is good for viewing works in larger screen icon_rolleyes.gif

4820TG can run AutoCAD/3D Software fine...and these software that you mentioned runs more on CPU rather than GPU..so GPU is not a main concern here nod.gif

Added on June 7, 2010, 8:38 pm@kae
Yes, the problem with G320M is its only DX10.1, so future proof would be HD5470 tongue.gif

A good choice, Asus is a reliable brand and it provides default 2 years warranty for their products nod.gif...others that might be consider :

Acer 4745G, i5 430M + ATi HD5470/GMA HD@RM2699

So.. you need quadro graphic..? sweat.gif

ATI doesnt have quadro..

with your budget.. the best is Sager NP8690[i7 720QM / i5 520M + HD5870]


others..

Dell Precision M4500 [ i5 520M + NVIDIA Quadro FX 880M ] , warning for weight
Dell Alienware M15x [i7 720QM + GT240M ] , warning for weight
Dell Vostro 3700 [i7 720QM / i5 540M + GT 330]
Dell Studio XPS 16 [i5 540M + HD5650]

Asus N61Ja [i5 520M + HD5730]

Might be really hard to find a laptop under 3kg w/ strong GPU performance equivalent(?) to your FX 4600 as the best workstation laptop GPU to date FX3800M which is available on Lenovo ThinkPad W701ds is an 17 inch w/ 4kg weight. Dell Mobile Percision M6500 which also provide the same GPU is range at least RM8k and near 4kg...

Quadro FX3800M

why does the graphic memory offered less than 512MB? shouldnt we already got up to 1GB?

im currently using ASUS A42J with 1GB Radeon HD5470 for my personal use.

dell precision M4500 offer quardo 880M and quardo 1800M. is it better than ATI HD 5650?

does the list attached by kae7 by ranking? if yes mean the HD 5650 is better than this precision. im just a bit confuse here coz i have seen the HD 5650 in the latest acer timelinex (not msia market).

HD5650 would be slightly better, but that's for gaming/DirectX...
Quadro card has different driver which optimized for OpenGL..
FX1800M which based on Nvidia GT335M should have similar raw performance with HD5650...

Mine?? It is great for me but I mainly use it as an entertainment system rather than 3D programs specifics so can't say much. lee_what2004 does make a point as FX1800M should be around the same performance as HD5650 w/ better support for your need.

It's a better choice on CPU and weight. Bro mokh seems to prefer a strong GPU as EliteBook is using an entry professional card FX 380M.

Well, usually if its a DELL, we strongly suggest you to get it ONLINE, because you can choose the spec the way you want it nod.gif..guessing DELL outlet should have a pre-configured unit of Dell Inspiron 14R nod.gif..can't help you about your area though because not from there icon_rolleyes.gif

A good choice but can know what is your maximum budget?? smile.gif

okay I'm reposting coz I think this is the right thread to ask..

Guys, do u think the current XPS 16 promo (RM2999) is worth it?

Honestly I'm only afraid that in future that the spare parts for this model finished/EOL since it's old tech.. (I think it's fine for processor & GPU not up to date or is it not? rclxub.gif )

Is it true that if under warranty & laptop beyond repair, dell will refund the $$ to buy dell product?

My configuration would be..

Alpine White 15.6 " 1080p WUXGA (1920x1080) WLED Full HD Display with 2MP cam
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor P8700 (2.53GHz/ 1066 FSB/ 3MB Cache)
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64bit (English)
4GB (2 X 2GB) Dual Channel 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM
320GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
3-year XPS Premier Service with 3-year CompleteCover
1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670
6-Cell (56WHr) Li-Ion Primary Battery

RM3763 after RM200 redemption
RM3613 if add RM150 coupon

And err.. 2/3 yrs warranty is a must for me so with RM3.8k my other option would be N82JV/Acer 5745.. or is there other models u could recommend?

Pls advise notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

yes it's worth it... best performing for rm3k...

if Dell really run out of parts to repair during ur warranty period, chances are they will replace the it with a model of the same class at that time...

i ve heard 1 or 2 cases where some guys spoilt but still under warranty XPS M1530 replaced with SXPS16...

iirc Dell accepts bank draft as well... though that will take longer to process...

anyway, Dell is currently clearing up it's stock of SXPS16 with C2D and HD4670 starting from rm3k... worth taking a look also...

is the above code for discount coupon?

Since I can't get a "cheap" notebook with backlit keyboard, I am thinking of getting Dell 15R with Intel HD graphic because it has numeric keypad. Getting it with 3 years warranty and price would be around RM2.5K.

My Dell Vostro1400 bought in late 2007 with graphic card got problem and cost about RM1K to repair. Generally happy with Dell, the same Vostro had some battery problem (in the 11th month) and Dell sent the replacement battery to my home. I have another Vostro 1400 without graphic card bought almost the same time still working ok.

Anyone got discount coupon for Inspiron 15R or Ecode with special deal for 15R?

Any other notebook in the market with numeric keypad for less than RM2.5k?

Performance wise, almost the same but i3 runs cooler than T6570 and it also consumed less power compared to i3 350M, though in raw performance, the gap is not that much...

I don't think there's any major issue with this model tongue.gif...well, most probably lack of driver support from their website, but can be solved by downloading the driver manually icon_rolleyes.gif

yo sifus....

i'm searching for a laptop.... preferably thin profile and not bulky like those alienware type...but i'm ok with core i5 processor but with good graphics card.... planning to play games as well as normal use....

this laptop will be more like a replacement for my desktop with 4850 graphics card...so as long as it's about 'equivalent' performance is ok....

budget can go up to RM3k+ and max maybe RM4k?

summarY: thin profile with best graphics...any model to reocmmend for me to take a look?
thanks ya!

equivalent with HD4850 would be quite hard sweat.gif
You would need to get notebook with HD5870 to get that kind of performance...

Thin profile with best gpu available would be Acer 4820TG that available on Singapore, i7-620M + ATi HD5650@SGD$1898...
Though it still weaker than your desktop...

If want all-rounder with average 2-3 hours batery life,
1)LENOVO B450-T4400
5)TOSHIBA SATELLITE L510-B400

If want lightweight and long battery life,
2)DELL INSPIRON 11z (T510123MY)
4)HP MINI 5102 PC
3)ASUS Eee PC 1201T

Though if this is going to be your main computer, better take either lenovo B450 or Toshiba L510-B400...

Ok, i been to Sigma Pelangi System website and see the notebook list that they have, personally i would recommend you to take :

Acer Aspire 4551
Lenovo B450
Toshiba L510
Asus K40IJ
Asus K40Ae
Acer Aspire 1410

There's no problem with the latest batch of Acer laptops nod.gif, my friends have been using the new models (4820TG/4551/4745G etc etc) and they never have any major problem with it icon_rolleyes.gif..maybe you can consider Acer 4551 as it is one of the best in the list nod.gif

thanks... Acer...hmm... do not have that good experience using acer laptop previously...seems to be problematic with reliability issues....

equivalent with HD4850 would be quite hard sweat.gif
You would need to get notebook with HD5870 to get that kind of performance...

Thin profile with best gpu available would be Acer 4820TG that available on Singapore, i7-620M + ATi HD5650@SGD$1898...
Though it still weaker than your desktop...

Hi,

To all sifu, can help me decide which one better rclxub.gif :
1. Dell Inspiron 14R
Intel® Core™ i3-350M Processor (2.26Ghz, 4Threads, 3M cache)
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Basic 64 bit (English)
2GB (1 X 2 GB) 1 DIMM DDR3 1333Mhz
320GB 7200RPM Hard Drive
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5470 - 1GB
2. ACER ASPIRE 6930
Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 dual core processor (2GHz, 2MB cache.)
2GHz processor speed.
4GB DDR2 RAM.
nVidia GeForce 9600M GT graphics card with 512MB graphics memory.


I check from this website, http://www.notebookcheck.net/Comparison-of...ards.130.0.html option 2 has better graphic performance but option 1 has better processor. Which one of this laptop can run Autodesk Inventor better?

Thank you

The best you could get is Dell Vostro 3700, 17.3'', i5 430M + Nvidia GT330M@RM2849 or Lenovo Y460, 14'', i5 430M + ATi HD5650@RM3299....

I've tested it on my Y460 and it does draw a lot of power which means that it'll generate heat like 70+C most of the time. If you go for Vostro 3700, the temp won't be too bad but you need to set to medium on most settings in order to run the game smoothly. nod.gif

Any other requirements?? Well, different with all the BRANDS that you listed is just its different BRANDS nod.gif..some offer good stuff while some are just normal nod.gif...Dell is the best (and also the most expensive) when comes to After Sales Service, while Asus provide you with 2 years Global Warranty..Toshiba also is a well known laptop in Japan and their quality is amongst the best icon_rolleyes.gif

Well, with the budget i can recommend you :

Acer 4741Z (P6000 + GMA HD) @RM1899
Lenovo G460 (i3 350M + NV 310M) @RM2349
Toshiba L510-B402 (T6570 + ATi HD4570) @RM2299
Toshiba L645-1004U, i3-330M + GMA HD, freeDOS@RM2000 (need own Window installation)
Dell Vostro 3400, i5 430M + Intel HD, Home Basic@RM2379
Dell Inspiron 14, DC P6000 + ATi HD530v @RM2199

Best one would be either, you might need to lower the resolution for better performance though
15'':
Dell Studio XPS 16, P8700 + ATi HD4670, FullHD@RM2999

17'':
Dell Vostro 3700, i5 430M + Nvidia GT330M, HomeBasic@RM2849....
or if can up more, the Lenovo Y460 would give better performance than those two, 14'', i5 430M + ATi HD5650@RM3299...

The best for gaming would go to :

1. Dell SXPS16 (P8700 + HD4670)
2. Dell Vostro 3700 (i5 430M + GT330M)

Dell Inspiron 13R, Acer 4745G & 4820TG roughly have the same performance nod.gif

and the so-called problem with it is that it's not using the latest tech...

but heck, C2D P8000 and HD4670 still can kick the ass of similarly priced laptosp with the latest hardware...

i5 is better only when HTT is utilized, and games hate HTT...

clcok for clock, the 2 are pretty similar in raw performance...

for Dell, it's always best to buy from their website directly, since u can still customize it...

P8700 is good enuf...

RAM preferably 4GB... since Windows x64 can utilize all of them, and 3GB is not max efficiency as well...

kindly help me recommend some nice laptops. biggrin.gif

1. Brand, prefer dell. but anything else better also can.
2. Budget, less than 3k. but can recommend higher price.
3. Specs, for gaming, not that hardcore. at least able to play, fifa 10, prototype, etc.
4. Size, suits the above needs.

i already made my mind 2 buy dell sxps 16 till i see Alienware M11x..... if i wait for a couple of month maybe i can get it.....  if this Alienware M11x worth it the money?

m11x is target at the ultra mobile gamers who wants to play games even in toilets (so to speak)... laugh.gif

if u need a laptop that is small to carry around (i didn't say light though) and play games, yes, m11x is the one to go...

but the catch is that the CPU of m11x is weak compared to even a rm2k laptop... so it wouldn't cut in CPU intensive games like GTA4, Shattered Horizon and Strategy games...

For that budget, its around
Dell Vostro 3700, 17.3'', i5 430M + Nvidia GT330M, 1600x900, anti-glare screen@RM2849
Dell Studio XPS 16, 15.6'', P8700 + ATi HD4670, FullHD@RM2849 with coupon
Lenovo Y460, 14'', i5 430M + ATi HD5650@RM3299
Those three offer better performance than Asus in the price range...

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 icon_question.gif

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]

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 nod.gif

Inspiron series usually quite good in cooling nod.gif

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.

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

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 icon_rolleyes.gif

Any other requirements?? Well, different with all the BRANDS that you listed is just its different BRANDS nod.gif..some offer good stuff while some are just normal nod.gif...Dell is the best (and also the most expensive) when comes to After Sales Service, while Asus provide you with 2 years Global Warranty..Toshiba also is a well known laptop in Japan and their quality is amongst the best icon_rolleyes.gif

Well, with the budget i can recommend you :

Acer 4741Z (P6000 + GMA HD) @RM1899
Lenovo G460 (i3 350M + NV 310M) @RM2349
Toshiba L510-B402 (T6570 + ATi HD4570) @RM2299
Toshiba L645-1004U, i3-330M + GMA HD, freeDOS@RM2000 (need own Window installation)

Ok, budget is done = RM2k...now all we need is your requirements nod.gif...what usually you use the laptop for...without this we can recommend you endless of laptops icon_rolleyes.gif...

Some that you might take a look :

Compaq CQ41-208AU, AMD M520 + ATi HD4200, freeDOS@RM1599
Compaq CQ41-217AU, AMD M320 + ATi HD4200@RM1599
Compaq CQ42-258TU, i3 350M + GMA HD, freeDOS@RM1949
Acer 4551, Athlon II P320 + ATi HD4250, FreeDOS@RM1499
Acer 4741Z, DC P6000 + GMA HD, freeDOS@RM1599
Acer 4741Z, DC P6000 + GMA HD@RM1899
Toshiba C640D-1004U, AMD P320 + ATi HD4250, freeDOS@RM 1449

Its always better for a notebook rather than Netbook, unless you want to take it around always...Netbook is rather the same in terms of performance nod.gif..different would be the warranty and the type of service that it offers icon_rolleyes.gif

Atom N450/N455/N470/N475, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 10.1" 1024x600, Win7 Starter...

only difference will be design, battery and warranty...

i myself prefer the 2 Dell Inspiron... decent hardware with Dell's excellent warranty for those who knows nuts abt hardware... 13R has VGA port and has better performance if she play games, while M301z is more stylish and weights a tad lighter than 13R...

If you need dedicated gpu, then the Asus A42F is out,
The rest, pretty much similar performance, just depends which model you like.

Ok, budget is done = RM2k...now all we need is your requirements nod.gif...what usually you use the laptop for...without this we can recommend you endless of laptops icon_rolleyes.gif...
Its always better for a notebook rather than Netbook, unless you want to take it around always...Netbook is rather the same in terms of performance nod.gif..different would be the warranty and the type of service that it offers icon_rolleyes.gif

My requirement is just simple internet surfing,torrent,chatting,watching movies,play music and edit some word docs..no games.
What my priority is the laptop should be less than 2kg,small n thin, less than rm2000.
Any laptop u can recommend?

Pretty much netbook fits your requirement, else can consider CULV notebook, like Acer 1830TZ, 11.6'', U5400, GMA HD@RM1899 or Inspiron 11z...

Hi all, I'm buying laptop for my mother. She'll be using it for writing letters, surfing the net and playing audio CD.

1. Brand - any brand would do
2. Budget - not more than RM2500
3. Specs - she wants the color to be customizable, preferably green. She prefers to use genuine Windows and Office.
4. Size - 14" to 15" screen

Hope you guys can help me out.

Thank you.

The inspiron still offer colour option, you need to choose higher price model or non-fastrack model though...

Other brand mostly don't offer customization.

Though for similar price, can consider Dell Inspiron 13R, i3 350M + ATi HD5470, HomeBasic@RM2299, but no dvd drive... or Inspiron 14R, same spec but 14''@RM2399...

first part of the qn, yes...

2nd part of the qn, depends on wat CPU u re talking abt... for Core 2/Core i, 3MB/4MB is the sweet spot... for Turion II/Athlon II, doesn't really matter...

bro, between these two models which one is better? for net surfing, movies and some office works. in terms of specs, what i know is that asus has 500GB HDD (lenovo 320GB) and better graphic card. Other than that, any difference between these two in terms of reliability, warranty & performance?

Thanks

Performance wise and warranty would go to Asus UL30Vt since it got built-in overclock CPU to 1.73GHz and also default comes with 2 years warranty....

Guys, help me by recommending my a few laptops that I should look at:

Needs:
College use (mostly mikrosoft office)
Gaming (But I'm not those hardcore gamers (planning to play games like Fallout New Vegas and Diablo 3)
Watch anime.
The laptop should be quite light la, as I'm traveling around.
My budget is around 2.5k-2.8k.
Hopefully can last me 3-4 years too.

I'm currently looking at Asus A42jk but then I want more options so that I can make a better choice.
Thanks guys. smile.gif

If lighter, can consider Inspiron 13R, should be similar performance with A42Jk but lighter, no dvd drive though...

Yup, Beowulf said 4820TG is RM2699 now..even my friend is selling @RM2799 icon_rolleyes.gif

Added on June 16, 2010, 12:20 pm@Guen
Well, for your budget not many option that we can recommend, all listed with the same spec as A42Jk also like Dell Inspiron 13R...should take a look at Acer TimelineX 4820TG also tongue.gif

If can consider something big then maybe can recommend S57 or SXPS16 liao laugh.gif...

Well, different places got different price so we cannot be sure about it, at least our price can be a guidance for the price estimated nod.gif...SWK price usually a bit expensive (add another RM100 more usually) than LYP price tongue.gif...

I agree, even for those (DELL notebooks) with CULV processors. Been having a headache recommending friends (who like DELL alot) a 13' notebook laugh.gif
DELL Inspiron 13z
SU4100+ GMA x4500+ 3 year (in home) warranty --> RM2686
SU7300+ G105M + 3 year (in home) warranty --> RM3236

ASUS UL30Vt
SU7300+ G210M/GMA x4500 + Free 2 year warranty --> RM2999 (or cheaper)

My friends don't want the extra GC on ASUS LOL, saying that they won't be using it at all rclxub.gif
I feel DELL's pricings for these notebooks are not competitive enough, especially after the announcement of the ~RM2900 XPS 16 notworthy.gif
Makes people Feel like customers are paying more for less haha (From a gamer's POV) icon_rolleyes.gif

Eh, I've never seen an ASUS UL30A before rclxub.gif Has it been around for quite some time already?

Even the DELL Vostro V13
SU7300 + GMA x4500 + Ubuntu + 3 years warranty --> RM2776 (quite close to the range of the UL30Vt already)

Normal usage, no graphic designing or what sort.. so processor not that important right? Gaming wise SXPS 16 better?

Just need a desktop replacement so gotta opt for a 15 inch screen. Shrink from 22inch >15 rclxub.gif

How come F60 only use i3? Would've gone for it if it were i5. lol

Lenovo Y460 , Core i5 540M + ATi HD5650 @RM3599 or Y460. Core i5 430M + HD5650 @RM3299 (though this one is kinda hard to find)

Dell SXPS16, C2D P8700 + HD4670 @RM2849

Your budget is quite high, maybe you can opt for the one that i mentioned above for much better performance in games (such as PES)

it depend.. since his budget is RM 2k and not hope that it more than RM 2k..

so.. the possible Dell Inspiron 13R is with GMA HD ..


while Acer Aspire 4741G is more than his budget too...



left only CQ42 or maybe Lenovo G460 / G455
