QUOTE(chiahau @ Feb 20 2011, 10:29 PM) A bit game, a bit photoshop + LR3 also. No need so extreme coz I wont play max spec. Then the U36Jc will do just fine Prefer light and powerful also, if possible. But personally I would prefer the U41Jf with a better GPU... the Nvidia G310M in the U36Jc is not exactly very good (even for older games)... I would prefer sacrificing a little bit of portability (U36Jc 1.7kg; u41Jf 2.0kg) for an extra optical drive and power hehe Can consider the significantly cheaper Acer 3820TG and 4820TG as well |

I want to go survey after this XP |

LOL, for girl ar? Suddenly thought of Lenovo's Ideapad U460
Can consider that one as well, its light and powerful but don't have optical drive (14 inch)... Even though its running on relatively lower specs, the looks alone will melt a girl's heart This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Feb 20 2011, 10:47 PM |

Oh ya, there's also the Lenovo Z360 which is also very similar in terms of specs with the U36Jc, just that its 2.0kg instead, and cheaper by around RM500 |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Feb 20 2011, 08:17 PM) For that price range its virtually impossible to find a good lappy with great specs and long battery life. The closest one would be Acer 3820TG at approx. RM2.1k long battery life i suppose ,longer than average,,,and specs do not need tobe really good ,decent specs should be ok...is there any other laptops like acer timeline seriesThe one recommended by Marcus is powerful for the price but battery life is average only. Still it depends on how you define your "long battery life" haha |

Acer's 3820/4820TG are the best you can get for that price range There's Toshiba units with almost similar specs but they are more expensive by ~RM100-200 and does not have such long battery lives as that of the Acers This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Feb 21 2011, 01:00 PM |
