i nid a recommendation..

my budget is 3k max, nid 13" if can, 14" max..

must b either i5-520m or i5-450m.. with 500gb n 4gb ram (this one i can upgrade later)..

on my list is

asus a42jv
toshiba l645-1052x
dell vostro 3300...

the reason i put vostro is bcoz of its 13".. hard for me to find 13" notebook with my specs n my price range..

so any pro opinion on my list?

purpose for the lappie mostly for programming task.. but i nid the latest tech bcoz i deal with i.t tech apps most of the time....

thanx

between vostro n inspiron, which one better?

for my budget i can get i5-450m for inspiron, n i5-520m for vostro...

n inspiron got 1.3m webcam whre as vostro got 2m webcam..

n also inspiron use external odd where as vostro comes with odd..

but from the benchmark on passmark, i5-450m performs better than i5-520m, dunno whether its true or not...

inspiron 13r wins on gpu i guess, but i nid more on cpu as i will b doing a lot of programming n video editing, less on playing games, i guess nvidia 310m is enuff oledi for me to play light mmorpg..

in terms of build, dell laptop good? i mean the durability n reliability, assuming i take good care of it..

bcoz i dun own dell b4, so i dunno much bout dell laptops..

i've owned toshiba n asus b4, n i can say i m satisfied with both, its juz toshiba looks dull n asus a bit pricey...

erm nid to ask, if lets say im aiming for ul30vt (c2d su7300), will it b good for programming task? video editing, photoshop...

eh i know tht ul50vt is using culv n thts y it can last long the battery, but how bout u45jc? will the battery last long too?

its slightly over my budget but i guess it suits my needs if the battery can last long ...

glad to hear dat, at least the price is within my budget, good processor with good battery

cant help it, me myself live in seremban also, hav to go kl to buy notebook...

btw, thr is a seller who can cod in seremban, try pm forummer s16..

but dunno whether he hav the stock tht u mention...

btw, heard tht ul series hav been phased out in malaysia, so no more production, n they didnt intend to bring u30jc...

so i guess i hav to settle with wht available now..

eh anyone who bought u45jc already, care to gimme an opinion about the lappie?

which shop in lyp got sell u45jc? how much they sell?

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

lenovo is a bit pricey than asus imo..

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

for 2300, u can get new acer which is i5-450m n discrete graphic card..

guys, 11" so small eh? i dun hav any exp with 11" model, so dunno how it looks like whn using it..

hi end card..

u can try to look at PAS, top floor..

saw them selling a42jk (i5-520m) b4 a42jv was introduced, so i guess they got the model now..
