Pretty much those can do what you need, just depends mostly on your budget...

hmm lee_what2004:
what about the macbook and alienware? do u think they're like a lil overkill? dad actually liked asus but their website, really not so easy to find the models ah

Overkill or not, its depends on your demand...
Alienware provide better performance
MBP provide long battery life with good performance...
Price wise, its more expensive than XPS 15 though...

For Asus, there's Asus N53Jq, i7 740QM + nVidia GT425M@RM3999

lee: thanx for the prompt response! will try the laptops out first then move on from there again! thanx alot

anyone know will the price of acer 4820tg drop?
approximately when and how much?
thanks!

If you need it why not buy it now? Might not easy to find stock as well.
When the time price drop, new model already come out, and you might be tempted to get the newer one as well.

nope,at least it will not happen within this month

Quite a few shops in lowyat plaza have already restock the 4820TG
Can even find it in Midvalley

I guess it's time for me to buy it now(if still have la) ..

Looking for a notebook for my younger brother

1. Brand = any
2. Budget = up to 8k
3. Specs = for study and gaming purpose
4. Size = not bigger than 17"

Thank you.

Alienware M15x/M17x...
Unless interested with importing notebook, can consider Asus G53Jw/Asus G73Jw or Sager notebooks....

Where can I get the importing notebook in malaysia? or australia?

GenTech PC, XoticPC ,etc...

Anyone know where I can get a Vostro 3500 in KL? Other than buying it online?

Thanks!

you can buy it from the retailer in US, and have it shipped to either australia or Malaysia, just depends which one more convenient for you. Laptops are non-dutiable items in Malaysia, so there will be no tax when shipping to malaysia. (Australia shouldn't too, but check just in case)

Australia I think got, mentioned before by Cheesenium..

oh yea, he bought from a shop in sydney, but i think it was slightly more expensive (about same price as singapore, that being mentioned, you can also get it from sgcubhubs, but the cost is about 600-700 ringgit more, and can't customize the laptop so much)

What if comparing with U45jc? Exclude the graphic card. Maybe in term of design (Keyboard, material etc)

Btw, does A42ja worth the price of RM3499?

if you have the budget and you want that extra performance, then yes. If you want a laptop that has a longer battery life, then get the 4820TG

if you compared to the U45JC, i find the build quality is about the same, but i prefer the 4820TG design.
