hi, please help me guys. smile.gif i've been looking for a Laptop to do mobile surfing and some MINOR photo editing, Adobe LightRoom to be exact. my c2D rig is doing it fine, speed is not a problem as long as it is possible to post process.

Brand : Acer, Hp, Dell, any type of brand
Budget : RM1.5k - 1.7k Or LOWER, just wanted it for a few weeks
Specs :
Core i3
2GB DDR3 at least
250GB HDD is enough since i got external storage
got a intergrated GPU is possible, Intel HD can run lightroom also right? blush.gif
Operating System : i heard that we can get Windows Xp from Microsoft just for RM50 only right? is that true? but this is just a back up plan, Windows 7 Home Basic at least or better Home Premium 64bit
Size : nothing smaller than 14"

or advise me, and recommend me where to get cheaper one.

i'm blind in notebook section blush.gif

If you get the retail version of Win7HP, the total cost is already over 2k, better get the 4738G @ RM2099, better GPU.

hmm, then might be using jack sparrow verison for a period of time, cause just will use for 3 days then dispose less using

actually if u r using for 3 days or what, get a 2nd hand laptop from garage sales. easier and cheaper.

don't want to take the risk blush.gif hehehe~ not really 3 days la, maybe some time use for mobile storage and if my home streamyx down, go to McD more easy.

^Fujitsu LH530, i3 330M + GMA HD@RM1999
You won't get 15'' with i7 with long battery life...
better revise the requirement...

15'' with long battery life currently is Acer 5820TG, but need to import from Singapore, priced around SGD 1.4K...

okay, i will stick to the Fujitsu LH520.

how much is it?

please tell me the spec also, cause i checked in their website, there is 2 spec available

AMD P320 + ATi HD5430, 2GB, 320GB@RM1499...
Do you need dedicated GPU?
15''-16'' now mostly consist of i7 Quad and dedicated GPU which would run down the battery life roughly around 2 hours...
e.g.
Asus N53Jq, i7 740QM + nVidia GT425M@RM3999
Acer 5745G, i7 740QM + nVidia GT420M@RM3799
Acer 5742G, i5 560M + nVidia GT420M@RM2999
Toshiba Qosmio F60-S531, i3 350M + Nvidia GT330M@RM3199

except business grade notebook that has 15'' with i5 and GMA HD to preserve battery life, but that mostly is Dell that fit your budget...
*
okay, thanks for the quote, Rm1499 is RRP or street price?

btw, can i give some comment on the Toshiba F60?

that one feel suck to me, it is quite laggy(maybe is the problem of the unit i try, don't flame me and don't believe this unless u try it your own self) and the touchpad isn't that smooth also.

Should be RRP price as in the promo flyer...

Haven't try F60....
Better ask [PF] T.J.
He's a F60 user...

hmm, which shop? smile.gif

@HanJin95

but still depends on user preference.

better to get 2 interested model before go buying, later the 1st option isn't that favorable, always got the 2nd option.

if only got 1 option/choice, u are a pointless if that choice isn't the one u like. those sales man will just push u the model according to the screen size. and u don't even need to bother about those free gift accessories set cause it is so dirt cheap(RM10 and below below below!, cant reveal the real price, takut ada spy tongue.gif ), just get the lower price for the laptop only. hope u understand what i'm telling. i'm a sales person blush.gif
