If really can't wait, just get 4820TG for RM24xx then... i5-480M isn't too shabby either...

My more inferior i5-450m is serving me quite well for most things...

btw not all i7's are quad core.. i7 dual cores have same TDP's as i5 dual cores...

Nah, it's better to stick with something good even u don't need it but have the budget. U may not drive fast but having a Merc is better than Protons right?
No offense to Proton users.

I found this very helpful in understanding the new SB processors and in relation to the last few posts, a good idea of how they price the new chips. And possibly helping you estimate what the entire machine would cost. So
I thought I'd share it with you guys.

I think Intel made a good decision releasing the Core i7-2630QM first. It's the entry level i7 processor, best bang for buck at just over $300. Optimal processors for mid-range 'entertainment' laptops. The Xtreme edition of the i7 rockets upwards of a grand. Those would be released later in the year on your xps' and alienwares. The i5s would come out around March.
If you are planning to buy a laptop I would advice waiting till after February, giving you the luxury of being spoiled for choice.

yea problem is he needs to get a new lappie by the end of this month but SB Dual cores coming out only in March, that's why I said just get the older generation if he really dun want SB Quad Core...

With some of upcoming Asus new i5-480M lappies priced at RM2699, I don't think SB Dual cores would have much choices during early March... Even if it does, the prices wouldn't differ much from the entry level quads because that would ruin their sales on the older generation lappies...

The Acer 5750G around RM27xx only.. You gotta ask urself what prices are u expecting for SB Dual Cores? I am predicting around Rm25xx for Acer while slightly expensive for other brands... For almost the same price, of course better processor is a better choice right?

btw, i7-2630QM isn't too powerful my friend, it's just an entry level Quadcore for Sandy Bridge...

^ sager had offered laptop with entry quad core SB processor paired with GTX 460M graphics. Good or not?

Why not? It beats the heck out of the yet to refresh Asus G53 and some other gaming lappies which are still using the old i7 Quads...

That's how powerful Sandy Bridge is, even entry level quad core has already beaten the high-end quad core of last generation

refer here if you want benchmark list..

U're talking about MSI GT680R right? Malaysia selling for RM5999 which I think is reasonable priced considering it has 120GB SDD+500GB HDD, Bluray drive...
The USA version with 500GB+500GB HDD instead is selling around RM4.5k after converted... Not much difference considering the SSD in the Malaysia version....


Which is also why I keep insisting that the Acer 5750G for RM27xx is a bargain for such a powerful processor... 6 months ago, I only gotten myself a i5-450M which is like so much weaker for a even higher price..

i need more info on gt680r so i can compare with sager model. i have eyed on sager since it has an ability to upgrade it's CPU/GPU

http://www.lowyat.net/v2/the-gt680-msi-gam...ndy-bridge.html
here you go..

hmm...the price + spec is tempting.

in this case, i might stick with sager since the parts is upgradable

if you're a hardcore gamer, u should wait for the higher end Quad cores to come out and observe first =)

As well as new high end GPU's of AMD HD6000 series and Nvidia 500M series

not really hardcore gamer per se. i use laptop as desktop replacement and play game when i feel bored

Haha, get such an expensive laptop for what then?

i use monitor as primary display and also upgrade the future components to support future games. My max budget only around RM 5K

Actually even high end gaming laptop is still not as powerful as desktop. U don't play at anywhere right since gaming requires huge battery as the GPU needs the power to function well.

If I only want the gaming experience, definitely will go for desktop.
But that's just for me, I know there are some who dislike the space needed and wires but it's okay for me.

Hmm..sager is the best option coz its warranty allow user 2 upgrades the lappy GPU,CPU and many more..

hey guys
today i just bought acer 5750g at low yat plaza in RM 3280 including 3 years warranty
im very2 happy to buy this lappy
now i want to play Crysis

Report the crysis benchmark for the crysis fans

how to do benchmark?can u teach me?sorry nobbies here
dun worry i will tell u how the perfomance 5750g while playing Crysis..

I am guessing mid-high settings playable for Crysis...
