so those 2 actually dont have much different?

I have a question regarding laptop i want to buy, now im considering between a few brands with similar specs so i want to compare the warranty.
Asus-Their 2 years international warranty is carry in or on site, im actually based in east malaysia so does anyone have experience claiming warranty here?

acer-i wanna know is on site or carry in too, and how many years warranty, and how much does it cost to extend 3 years?

compaq-just sold off mine, they use to have next day onsite and extended to 3 years care pack onsite from rm 250, is it still the same now?

lenovo-i couldn't find any info, mind to share and also warranty claiming in east malaysia

dell- yes i know they do onsite, do they have east malaysia on site or have to send to pg. and how much extend to 3 years onsite

1. Asus - carry in
2. Acer - carry in, extend to 3 years (notebook under RM2500 - RM198, above RM2500 - RM298), upgrade to onsite RM98
3. Compaq - carry in, onsite price not sure..
4. Lenovo, carry in, there's onsite upgrade if not mistaken, price forgot..
5. Dell - onsite, extend to 3 years depends on model...

Thanks a bunch, solved 50% of my enquiry, how bout east malaysia service centre

Anyone got any suggestions for a sub RM1.5k (lower the better) notebook? My friend needs one for studies, web surfing and some light gaming.

Expecting something around the Fujitsu LH520 caliber if possible.

east malaysia sabah or sarawak? theres a difference in service for both.

Not sure about east MY..

Pretty much that or
MSI EX465, T4500 + ATi HD545v DDR2 VRAM, freeDOS@RM1499...

Alright thanks mate!

None...

lee, I checked Lenovo Y460 in digital mall, and the GC is Nvidia GT 425M. If not mistaken.
I thought Y460 uses radeon 5650?

New model is using i5 460M + GT425M, priced RM2999
Old model is using i5 540M + HD5650, priced around RM3699...

The older model is faster and has a better GC right?

For now, HD5650 is better...
i5 540M and i5 460M basically almost the same except 540M has higher TurboBoost and some extra instruction,

The Y460 i5 540M not really value for it anymore, better get Asus A42ja...

It's also known as Asus K42Ja @RM3,600 right?
Those specs is quite good.
But for a light gamer, Nvidia GT 425M is sufficient yea?

Yup, K42ja, though some selling on RM33xx on garage sales if not mistaken...
GT425M is more than enough

If she gets the newer Y460, her laptop better than my a42jv. :oooo
