Additional: i also try to looking the notebook spec performance that can be still usable in next 2-3 years.. the technology are improving rapidly, hope to get a toy can run smoothly with coming new softwares in future...

Asus A42Ja, i7 740QM + ATi HD5730@RM3599
Asus X42Jr, i7 740QM + ATi HD5470@RM2799
Dell XPS 14, i7 740QM + nVidia GT425M@RM3499
Dell XPS 15, i7 740QM + nVidia GT435M@RM3499

basically better to have i7 for ur processing needs

Sifu.. how come the XPS 14 and XPS 15 is same price? the XPS 14 not suppose to be cheaper than XPS 15?

Nope, Dell sell at that price...

Thinking of getting the 3499 XPS15 shipped from Malaysia (studying in England, my XPS M1530 almost dead so its urgent) and have my mom courier it to me.

Thoughts? Or are there better options I can pick up. I'm looking for a good GPU to last say games like GW2 and DIII in the future.


Edit : VAT here is absurd, pay almost RM500 more for the same thing. UK keyboards are weird too, their @ is at their "

1. Brand. Any.....
2. Budget. RM2000-3000
3. Specs. at least i5.... 1 GB vid card (nvidia preferrable) at least 14" LCD...
4. Size. it doesnt matter

why need 1GB video card..? LOL [refer to the size of VRAM ]

can go for Lenovo Y460 [i5 460M + GT425] , RM 2999

Errrr...cos...1GB VRAM can perform well in gaming i think? hmmm.....

hi sifus, need some recommendation here..planning to buy a new lappie here..my 'old' lappie is about 7 yrs old now (aspire 5500).. (condition still ok)
can sifus here advise which is better mac (macbook pro 15" i5 2.4ghz) / other brand? budget is up to that macpro price..
mainly used for internet..graphics..littler bit gaming..
thanks

..already considering MBP as one of the choices?? ...well, please define your gaming preferences as MBP also can play some games (with boot camp Win7)...

Your budget (assuming the price of MBP 15) is RM6k.....

Just my suggestions :

Alienware M15x, i7 740QM + ATi HD5730@RM5499
Alienware M15x, i7 740QM + ATi HD5850@RM5999

*do upgrade the warranty for security reason

thanks bro for the suggestions...actually i am not a hardcore PC gamer as already have a ps3...so i guess gamins is not an issue..huhu...so u mean with that price better to get M15x with better performance?

Yup, and if you are willing to import then there are other choices like Sager and all ...

Already got PS3 then maybe can focus more on what mainly the laptop will be of usage ...if you going for multimedia stuff then MBP sure is a good choice as we all know that Apple products work wonders with their software/hardware...

yea, uk keyboard layout is different, but i think you can choose if you want american keyboard layout from dell uk. But, instead of getting it from malaysia... might as well order from US. Brands like Asus are cheaper in US. Or come back during christmas break and get it?

If you want mbp, i think tjhe mbp 13 is better choice. Smaller, more portable, just as powerful. MBP 15 unless you really want the big screen. Also consider the HP Envy see if you like that laptop. (more powerful, same price, design is like mbp too)

Not exactly. 512MB is good enough already unless the card is fast enough to fully utilize it as per explained here:

3. Specs. i3.... 512mb graphic
4. Size. it doesnt matter
