the Dell XPS has better specs, and also, RM400-500 can upgrade to a fullHD screen.

Main difference is that the Asus comes with 2 years intl warranty default.
Dell need pay abit more. (but dell onsite service rocks)

If you want a more mobile laptop, and if you're gonna travel overseas for like study, might wanna consider A42Ja.

Hi y'all,

What is the best gaming laptop when U have Rm4k for budget?

the Asus A42JA If you want 14"
or the Dell XPS 15 (i7 + GT435m) for 15"

Asus A42Ja, i7 740QM + ATi HD5730@RM3599...
Dell XPS 15, i7 740QM + nVidia GT435M@RM3499
or add another RM300-RM500 to import Sager NP8690 with nVidia GTX460M from Mucro.Asia

I need recommendation.

Brand: Anything.
Budget: Anything between RM3000-RM4000.
Usage: Games like 3D games(Splinter Cell conviction)/fps (FEAR 2/COD MW, World at War)/rts (starcraft2)/ some Photoshop/ Flash/ Editing videos/ To watch movies/ listen mp3.
Screen: any size.

Thank you.
What about quality? Is there any difference of product quality between these two brands?
AFAIK I keep hearing Dell has heating issue?

hi. how weak is the p6100 processor? since i might do a lil sc2 gaming and a bit of audio video recording stuff.

should i add a bit and get a laptop with an i3 instead?

much thanks.

with regards to Yan5619, I am also interested. However, i saw that dell can play 3d games? should i then upgrade to 8gb ram (extra RM400)

the cheapest notebook with P6100 and dedicated graphic card will be Lenovo G460@RM1599 or Asus A42JE@RM1599.
if you want Core i3 get Compaq Presario CQ42-269TX@ RM1999 which come with Core i3-350M,2GB RAM/500GB HDD/ATI HD545v(512MB)/W7HP

afaik, if you really have the extra cash, then go for it, if not, no point. Games will be handled by the GPU, which has 2GB of ram, and it's good enough for most games.

i wanna buy Dell XPS 15 Laptop RM 3,499

any comment about it? or may you recommend another laptop??

and can i buy it online??
note: i live in johor

thanks in advance,,,,,

Asus laptops have very good quality, the dell XPS, better you go the Dell XPS tread ask them.

unless you do alot of after effects, or photoshop, then No. 8 GB is overkill, that RM400 can get you a fullHD screen instead. (or a bluray player)

you can order on the www.dell.com.my website. (which part of johor? cause if you prefer to buy the laptop from a shop, danga city mall there should have some units... but those won't be able to customize)

I heard a lot of bad things about dell such as sometimes the laptop will hang..the disk drive is loud..

Is it true?

no its not.

it mainly depend on your luck actually...

Hmmm..which is better? Buy at Plaza Lowyat or order online for Dell Laptop..

definitely online. but you might get a good bargain in LY Plaza.

Dell XPS 15, i7 740QM + nVidia GT435M@RM3499

better than sony ea36?

depends, if you can't wait... then go lowyat. If not wait a few days for the laptop to arrive lur.

The dell xps 15 better, since the 5650 in the EA36 is underclocked. But the processor (i5-560m) in the EA36 will be better for gaming (generally, like for fps or racing) since its higher clocked.

can u elaborate more?

but for the xps...wanna play 3d games...do u know whether dell will supply the glasses?
