QUOTE(Trance4eva @ Jan 19 2011, 06:49 PM) If you budget is RM3339, dun get this kind of laptop la. Get a laptop with 2nd generation i7 with Sandy Bridge. Try looking for Acer 5750g(RM2899), Lenovo Y560p(RM3k). Recommend you get the Asus A43SV though Hi.. thanks for the reco.. i assume that A42JP is not that good ?my budget should be around 3k... Not sure with i7 it will be a waste for me or not... thanks btw |

QUOTE(DoubleU @ Jan 19 2011, 12:56 AM) yea but i roughly know which one he likes, (his favourite is the lenovo ones, their similar to his old toshiba satellite) It takes about 1.5 minutes for me to hear the welcome sound.@quantum, what's your boot time, and when you open like word documents take how long? which brands of SSD is recommended? i see intel ones are priced like RM320... might go for those cheaps one... or better to spend more? like i said budget is roughly 2-3k.. those dell laptops i've been checking out is around RM2.5k anyways now its dell vostro 3300 (2.4k) vs dell vostro v130 (2.7K) vs Inspiron 13R (2.3k) vs Inspiron M301z (2.1k) Leaning towards the cheapest option, the M301z, next is the 13R. My dad has tried the V130 and V3300 before and both he like the keyboard... not sure about the inspiron line  all i selected 3 years warranty.... so if i swap out the hdd for ssd, will improve the speed of the laptop by how much? I installed the Download Accelerator Plus Premium and Returnil System Safe 2011 as startup programs. It finally settle down at about 2.15 minutes. For me, I think Intel SSD is not bad, but some others say that the OCZ SSD is better. WD SSD is not in my dream list at all. What the minimum speed for the OCZ SSD for writing and reading? QUOTE(ALeUNe @ Jan 19 2011, 01:48 AM) Which version of netbook? And which version of ssd? ZIF is a brand for the SSD?The ZIF SSD? If it's ZIF SSD, the performance is as good as normal HDD. It can't compare to current SSD with SATA connector. Added on January 19, 2011, 1:50 am Acer's keyboard is as flat as on your Asus G53JW. How much would you like to spend on SSD? Better ones are those with Sandforce controller. Otherwise, Intel x25M is decent. According to the hardware properties, it is SanDisk pSSD-P2 32GB ATA Device. What is sandforce controller? QUOTE(DoubleU @ Jan 19 2011, 01:51 AM) wait, then ssd need use which port? if we're talking about the sandforce controller? with roughly 270mb read/write....  Not really understand what you are talking about.  |

Which in this case, pSSD P2 is ZIF SSD.. and its a slow drive, even if compared to 2.5'' HDD... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « While current SSD with SandForce Controller should be around here.. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |
