QUOTE(Quantum_thinking @ Dec 23 2010, 11:59 PM) I never buy the AMD powered computers. It seems to become laggy after using it after a few years like that. Haha, i all along support AMD, never use intel before. Think this time will break "virgin" liao. Starting my lappy is ok, super fast. But used 2 years, start lag. Think the fans inside full of dust, cause overheat?Anyone have any idea what caused this?  |

QUOTE(GooD_DaY @ Dec 24 2010, 12:08 AM) That range better get Acer 4820TG or Dell Inspiron 15r, Asus will have relatively lower specs in that price range. I wont buy acer for sure, Dell will consider, but for play dota, low specs also ok right? I dont know how to take off the fan and clean it, might send to service center take a look since got 3 yrs warranty... Never tried one too.  Try cleaning the fan and remove the heatsink? |

QUOTE(GooD_DaY @ Dec 24 2010, 12:23 AM) If only Dota, of course low specs GPU is sufficient. Yea lo, feel shame on my lappy... Im from east msia, work at SG, not sure abt Sandy bridge. I missed 1 Asus lappy offer on last month IT show at SG, quite regret...Even my 4 year old Toshiba with ancient GPU can handle it smoothly. Since the warranty haven't expire, better use it at the moment and wait for Sandy Bridge next year if u want to get a new laptop.  http://bootstrike.com/itfairsg/sitex2010/a...r-brochure-124/ |

QUOTE(Quantum_thinking @ Dec 24 2010, 12:40 AM) @ic3rock I also noob at assemble la, especially on laptop or pc... If you are really very familiar with your laptop, you can try to clean the heat sink and its fan. Always remember that it is easy to disassemble, but difficult assemble back for people like us. I like dell because of its on site warranty services only.

Besides for gc, Ati > Nvidia?Better specs than X42Jr that u have seen. Added on December 24, 2010, 9:01 am QUOTE(eugenechiuu @ Dec 24 2010, 04:25 AM) Malaysia also have this mode, and it's cheaper than that Brochure... Yea, actually laptop price in Msia is much cheaper than SG, but i dont know why ppl keep say SG IT stuff cheaper...  Added on December 24, 2010, 9:03 am QUOTE(skycrawler @ Dec 24 2010, 07:18 AM) Didnt check malaysia's price dulu ka? Haha, i dint check. I know KL lowyat will cheaper, but me at SG. Even check at JB also quite exp, some more if ask seller post to SG, postage exp also。And i also think about warranty, mostly laptop come with 1 year international warranty right or now change already? Asus SG 3 years warranty le... This post has been edited by ic3rock: Dec 24 2010, 09:12 AM |

QUOTE(eugenechiuu @ Dec 24 2010, 09:23 AM) Asus normally 2 years only by default.. The whole world also the same.. 3years might be free extension during promotion? 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.. |

QUOTE(eugenechiuu @ Dec 24 2010, 09:42 AM) 2 years international warranty for Asus all over the world... Oh i see, thanks for the info. What i mean the 3 years warranty is in SG, sorry for any misunderstanding...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.. |

QUOTE(larrytty @ Dec 24 2010, 05:47 PM) Asus A42DR-VX032V and the Asus A42JE-VX118 AMD processor? Think twice lo cause im using AMD, now plan to get Intel. I also play dota online, when just got the lappy, it's good. But adter 2 years used, now want dota, think is GC or Processor overheat, screen keep hang...the processor... got much difference or not? if i were to use it for light gaming maybe some dota and run alot of apps eg chrome music movies and others is p320 suffice to swap between windows without any problems? or shud i juz go for the i3 which is more powerful suggest me? if i can save the RM200 im happy:) Added on December 24, 2010, 6:47 pm QUOTE(skycrawler @ Dec 24 2010, 06:03 PM) If u want updated gc la.. Sure, if getting new lappy, sure get better GC... This post has been edited by ic3rock: Dec 24 2010, 06:47 PM |

QUOTE(skycrawler @ Dec 25 2010, 01:06 PM) i7 is not energy savings lol.. since it has 4 cores, this processor will use more power compare to dual cores processor.. Mostly play dota only, so i think i3 or i5 with dedicated gc will do. Nvidia GeForce 310M is consider normal gc for laptop?If u a gamer..better get i5, coz most games only use 2 cores except for GTA4..GTA4 use 4 cores.. |

For Dell Inspiron 15R, the specs i saw online in SG and Msia is about the same, just the gc model is different.
Msia = ATI HD550v(1024MB) SG = ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650 - 1GB Which 1 is better? Of cause the price in SG will slightly exp, about Rm2880 compare with Msia, Rm2499... This post has been edited by ic3rock: Dec 27 2010, 04:24 PM |
