QUOTE(ic3rock @ Dec 24 2010, 09:34 AM) But 2 years is international warranty or? No le, from what i saw is mostly 3 years, depends on brand but i saw Asus come with 3 years.. 2 years international warranty for Asus all over the world... Where did you see 3 years? like i said might it be a promotion or something? you can pay the extra 1 year warranty but it only applies to local distributed Asus laptops.. |

Or U41Jf, A42Ja, or the new Sandy Bridge Acer 5450G..... Besides that, can u guys oso recommend me an all-in-one pc (those without a CPU) with good performance? Following is my requirements: 1.

QUOTE(johnchew91 @ Jan 6 2011, 11:44 PM) Erm..anyone selling it at garage sales?tats is retail price or the lowest price?? Not sure.. It's only announced by our retailers last few days...http://www.ncs.com.my/index.php?productID=2139 probably in stock already and see when they start selling only.. RM2199 is RRP, so garage sales might be a bit cheaper |

QUOTE(Quantum_thinking @ Jan 8 2011, 11:38 AM) My only issue with Acer is the quality and after sales service. Asus should be ok in terms of after sales service, but i am not sure about this. both acer n asus in malaysia have the same highpoint service centre I think...I heard that Dell laptop purchased here's warranty is valid in Australia. |

QUOTE(seizer @ Jan 11 2011, 09:57 PM) anyone can suggest a 3k laptop? So far i prefer asus brand If you don't mind Acer, Acer 5750G is the best bang for the buck nowadays...Budget is 3K! so far this is what i got asus X42JR Specs here price =2599,+100 for 2g ram, +200 for 4 gram and this one ASUS X42JA Specs Here price=cheapest so far 3199 so is it worth going X42JA? the differences are: HDD size, bigger about 120gb GC, newer model, ATI model 5740, 2gb DDR3... compared to X42JR with ati model with 5470 and 1gb ddr3 ram RAM, 4gb.. compare to 2gb ram of X42JR can anyone help me pls? since my budget is 3k.. so it is worth going to X42JA? and my purpose is gaming!.. and i want to use it maybe for at least 4 years If wanna stick to Asus.. There're quite a few models coming in... Where did u heard of X42Ja? U mean A42Ja with i7-740QM and HD5730 is it? That one selling for RM2999 or less nowadays.. X42Jr is a NO NO if you wanna do gaming... HD5470 is too weak for any future games, can only run current games with low settings... The few new models Asus coming soon are A42JP - i5-480m with HD6570 (stronger than HD5730) @RM2699 A52JV - i5-480m with GT540M (stronger than 5730 slightly weaker than HD6570) @RM2699 N43JF - i5-480m with GT425M (slight weaker than 5730 but N series is premium series with better sound quality and build) @RM2699 U41JF - i5-480m with GT425M ( U series have long battery life and slim profile ) can last up to 8 hours... @Rm2999 If want Sandy Bridge, A42SV - i7-2630QM with GT540M @RM3199 SOURCE |

QUOTE(seizer @ Jan 12 2011, 09:35 PM) Sorry its A42Ja... Asus A42Ja is only selling for RM2999 nowadays... im sorry but when i went shopping, the latest model of ASUS i can found is a ASUS A42JA.. with price of 3.2k Yes i want to stick with ASUS, preferring i-7, HD 5470 1GB isnt good enough for current gaming? because right now im using ACER ASPIRE 4730Zg, with Dual Core only, and the game runs fine for PES 2011 and above recommended laptop, isnt i-5 going to be not good enough for the next 4 years? THANKS for the help btw. HD5470 is not sufficient at all if you're a serious gamer.. Games like PES2011 and Fifa are low requirement games so they're an exception.. i5 Dual core is sufficient in gaming because most current games only utilises 2 cores... i7-720QM is only useful if you got programs that utilises quad cores... Unless you get sandy bridge quad cores, that's a different story cause Sandy Bridge quad cores have high clock... |
