You are comparing laptops of different niches I think the highest spec-ed M101z is more powerful
Usually 11.6 inchers are more towards portability and battery life, which is why you don't often get any dedicated GPUs in them...
Performance-wise the Inspiron 13R will surely pawn those subnotebooks

So all in all it depends on what you actually want, performance or portability...

I tink that acer 1830TZ's specs is slightly better than m101z, rite?
correct me if i am wrong..

By comparing the specs between this two model.
Intel U5400> K325
Intel HD > AMD 4225

Comparing using the information from notebookcheck.net
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Proces...ist.2436.0.html
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphi...List.844.0.html

Any comment on this?

deciding between this two model only.
Acer 1830TZ & m101z.
it seems like timelineX battery life should be longer than m101z even comparing to the 9-cell..
Coz AMD is somehow energy-eater..

Ya, it appears so...
Based on the comparison here: http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptop/del...a#axzz13RXMxacx
The specs for the T215 is more or less the same as that of 1830TZ..

i am also looking at these few options..
bear in mind, they are so closely performed that you probably won't feel any significant diffrence in real life.
plus the 1830T is rm1899 where else m101z is rm1701 for the similar spec.
acer does however suppose to last longer though..

going to buy laptop in earlier of november

budget around 1.5k-1.8k

can play game like sdo , step

brand prefer asus . any recommend? thanks

Better top up a bit if want Asus...
Asus A42Je, i3 370M + ATi HD5470, freeDOS@RM1999
else
Samsung R440E, i3-350M + ATi HD545v@RM1899...

or back into budget..
Fujitsu LH520, AMD P320 + ATi HD5430, freeDos@RM1499
Lenovo G465, AMD P340 + ATi HD4270, freeDOS@RM1449
Toshiba C640D-1004U, AMD P320 + ATi HD4250, freeDOS@RM1449
Acer 4551, Athlon II P320 + ATi HD4250, FreeDOS@RM1499

Agreed, one will be oblivious to the performance differences
I guess its down to a matter of which design you like hehe~
For me, I'll definitely go for Singapore's UL20FT that runs of i3-330UM

I saw some malaysia website selling 1830TZ at RM1699 only..
http://buylaptop.com.my/web/products.asp?Id=973

& compared to dell m101z AMD k325 + 9cell battery RM1701..

Which you prefer?

Yeah, usually you'll be able to get around RM100 off the official brochure price after bargaining
The performance differences ain't very big, so as I've mentioned before, its down to design and feel already.
Perhaps you can go have a look at both models and choose the one which suited you most, especially the keyboard and touchpad, those are really important on the go

1830T so far i have seen is selling for rm1819 even for Low Yat forums.. it does seem worth it if can ger rm1699..

both is great for its price.. just up to preference..



btw, how much does UL20FT cost? i can't to find any in the forums..

Ok guys, this will be related a little to the PC and also the notebook so hope you guys can help.

My PC just died on me recently, and at the current moment has receive the green light to replace my dead PC. It is hard however to decide on which to get, a PC or a laptop. This is because I'll be going overseas to study soon. If I get a laptop, it might slow down by the time I go ( 2012 ) and my bro will not have a PC to play his games or use. If I get a PC, I still have to get a laptop when I need one later.

The laptop will be used for video watching, a little games and also assignments and video conferencing once overseas. Preferably no netbook. Recommendations?

Hope all can answer both quesstions, Thx

The main problem is "little" games...
Better upgrade/fix your PC for now and later get a laptop....

If you are going on 2012 then perhaps its better to get a desktop 1st since they are real cheap and they are way powerful...
Technology advances real rapidly, after 2 years only you get a laptop which fits your requirements
But that's just me la haha

Get a PC (lol sounds like opposite of mac advert)
2012 still a long way to go.... don't need to get the highest end rig also, just a medium one.
and by 2012 means new laptops, new tech... who knows? maybe in 2012 all laptops have touchscreen le xD

PC dekstop all the way ~~ lol~~

i think 2012 is definitely quite a long way to go...so i reckon get a pc now maybe around 1k+ cause it can be easily upgraded anytime then get a laptop later so ur bro can have the pc. also the specs will greatly change then so u can probably get a laptop next time dats 1k+ which im sure is good enough by then. maybe i5 so what u spend on for both later on will probably be equivalent to what u spend now on a laptop. cause u might need to get a better laptop now to last u that long. just my opinion.

Hi, I need the recommendation for new laptop that can play decently with this 2 games.

Medal of honor and call of duty (minimum medium setting and would be happy if can play with high setting without any lag issue).....

budget wise around 2.8k and can max until 3k.....

and also i would like to know if the build quality for Acer 4820TG has improve compare with other brand with same budget and also their service centre is as good as HP customer service for warranty issue

One more thing, would prefer if the laptop have better cooling solution which atleast can stand for 5-8 hours gaming session

Thanks

Pretty much Acer 4820TG and Lenovo Y460...

Sifus,

Brand : Any except acer
Budget : <3500
Usage : photoshop + illustrator + lightroom, music, movies, light gaming
Spec : Intel i5 + good graphic
Size : 14" or bigger

Right now interested with sony vaio EA16 (now RM3199) and dell studio XPS 16. Both because of the design and WHITE colour.
Which one better overall? Or any other reccomendation?
