@kyozen, at 3k you can get the A42Ja with HD5730. That's the best performance you can for 3k, but you might wanna consider the standard Acer 4820tg because of its battery life.

no, the a42jv eol

hsienhsien, Acer 4820tg?

that's basically any netbook. Apps load time is affected by hard drive, unless you're willing to pay for the ssd, its not gonna be blazing fast. If you want there are dual core netbooks (dell's M101z or something like that)
but if you just want a normal one... just get a design that your wife likes.

Also considered getting tablets?

hm... you sure you want to pay extra for USB3.0? light peak is being pushed by intel and apple (next year) so usb 3.0 won't get alot of love... But if you want usb 3.0 there's the N43(jf/jq)...
but that laptop will be within your RM4k budget.

Also... you need i7? or just i5? cause unless you do video/photo editting and you're a hardcoe GTA4/RE5 fan... there's not much need for i7, since i5 is faster...

oh yea! the xps15... you might wanna upgrade the screen too. Apparently one of the best screens available now...

pretty sure...and hikari85 is a notebook reseller...

The TimelineX 3820TG 4820TG is of the best for their budget (due to long battery life) but its above the RM1.8k mark....

G72? not the G73? why go for old model, unless you want 2nd hand (what's the price?)

what's the price of the Acer 3820tg with the HD5470 card? i think you can consider that.

you know you can mod to get backlid keyboard form the 3810TG modded into it

somewhere close to you so its convenient if you need to send for servicing. Usually the shops can send it for you.

G310m can handle most games at low-medium settings. Dota is not high end, even Intel HD can run it on high.

The 5470 is better than the G310m.

but if you're gonna get the Acer one, might as well get Asus G53/AW M15x from putochip123, he selling at RM4.8k

the qosmio well... its very plastic feeling... and iirc its more of a multimedia laptop, the 15.6" version comes with GT330m (last time i saw it, but that was a while ago)

that tread's been rather dead no?

@khalifah. its not a must to have i7 instead of i5. if ur just hobby designer, i5 will do fine.

what relief is that? apply to who?

is this relief per household? or seperate? like father can get one, mom can get another one? and need to be within a certain date?

i think then you can claim only 3k back.

how about 2nd hand laptops? (from dell with their warranty)

yea but if you have dell warranty, they cover the problems
