^compare X42Jr with 4820TG, you mean?

X42Jr has better CPU, worse battery life
4820TG has better GPU, better battery life..

My toshiba laptop that has been running for more than 5 years dead already....

Planning to get a new laptop soon...
Was thinking of either HP or toshiba because they are more famous brands.Why here keep recommend asua/acer/dell??Are they better?

Using mostly for heavy web-surfing and microsoft and some gaming.
Budget is 3k-4k must have 3 yrs warranty
But most importantly need to be well built laptop la..
Dont wish to have to keep deal with problems.
And after-sales service must be good if not very stressful.

Please advice me!

Since HP would cost more to get equivalent specs...

You can consider Dell XPS 15 with i7 740QM and nVidia GT435M and upgrade its warranty to 3 years...

The basic model with RM2999 is using i5, but you could only pair it with GT420M..
To get the better GPU, GT435M, you would need to configure it with i7 740QM..
Unfortunately for now, the FullHD option is missing...

But if you want lesser heat/better battery life, pick the i5 model...

looking for laptop

1. Brand : any good brand
2. Budget: below RM2600
3. Specs : battery can stay for around 5 hours, not for gaming, paper work like doing assignments and presentations, normal Internet browsing
4. Size: 14"

Any recommendation? Thanks

Hi again.
Just want to say thanks for the recommendations and i bought a Dell studio XPS 1647 i5-m430 @ 2.27 Ghz.

But~ what is xps 1647?? i thought it should be xps 15 something??
I asked the seller he said its just the model name...
I hope i got the right one ...

But the screen he said is Full HD and i think its really good...
But just use few hours...

Btw the price is 3899 havent plus 3 yrs warranty...
Should i upgrade ?

Edit: Dont know if this is neccesary but my computer is using ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670

So.... Good or Bad buy??  hmm.gif

Bad buy..
It is SXPS 1647, not XPS 15 (newer model, named L501x)
You paid overpriced, if you order online from Dell MY, SXPS 1647 with i5 460M 2.53GHz and ATi HD5730 just cost RM3399....

A42Ja better performance, but lower battery life....

p/s: if just wifi problem, you can always opt for usb wifi, cheaper than getting a new laptop if the old one still working fine except the wifi..

Both GPU has similar performance.
Other choice is XPS 15, i7 740QM + nVidia GT435M@RM3499...

hello guys, can you recommend me any other laptop models that can beat this spec and the price is still in the range of RM2300 to RM2600

This is Dell Inspiron 15R (RMRM 2,499)
Intel® Core™ i5-460M Processor (2.53Ghz, 4Threads, turbo boost up to 2.8GHz, 3M cache)
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64bit (English)
4GB (2 X 2 GB) 2 DIMM DDR3 1333Mhz
500GB 7200RPM Hard Drive
15.6 Widescreen HD WLED Glossy Display with TrueLife™ (1366x768)
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650 - 1GB

do take note that i don't care about the battery life, i don't care about the weight and i don't care about the screen size. all i want is the better spec tongue.gif. as a student, i will be using it MAINLY for some words, online and of course watching movies. i've got my own PC that i built for gaming. BUT of course, it will be a bonus that the laptop that i want to buy can do gaming to smile.gif. thanx guys!

HDD is upgradeable, Graphic card is not upgradeable...

Can consider Asus A42Je, P6100 + ATi HD5470, freeDOS@RM1599 and use the rest money to upgrade the RAM and Windows...
