No.1 in volume. It's not crap (It's seconded by Asus).
Otherwise, Acer will be sued to death too.


Asus is the best? In terms of what? Price? Specs? After-sale-service?
If you're talking about performance, the best notebooks are those customizable notebooks.

Yeap would prefer Asus...but their product releasing date is very unpromising. Some retailers told me they are not quite sure, some said end of this month only releasing the SB lappy such as A43SV. As for time constraint, I think if you want better quality go for Lenovo Y560P. If you don't mind of quality and prefer cheaper alternative with some good reviews about this model, go for Acer 5750G. Plus if you really wanted the NVIDIA's Optimus technology, go for Acer.

Asus is mostly best based on quality and performance. Price.....expensive la
My friend drop his Asus G71 then go for RMA. The technician offer a CPU upgrade and add 2 years warranty just for RM50.......

anyways....i dunno la HP or Acer or Lenovo
My head really gonna explode la

Hardware isn't really an issue if you're not a gamer... sound recording obviously go for Apple... Garage Band is 1 of the best (if not the best) amateur recording softwares.... U can see a lot of famous youtube singers all using garage band to record their songs... MacBook white is just around Rm3k?

have u seen the asus X and A series? it can almost compete with acer pricing at times. and the G series is Asus' most expensive series which is for gaming. So of course its unfair comparing these models recommended to u now with G series.
no ATI has no optimus but i hear dosent heat up as fast as Nvidia

The GPU on Acer 5750 is just slightly better than Lenovo Y560P.
I doubt you see much difference.

As you need it urgently, make up your mind - Lenovo then.

ATI has hybrid graphics.....

I see. Latest Nvidia GPU still have this problem?

If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

For me, i think Asus is the best in terms of the hardware reliability (not softwares).

What do you think about Asus?

Nothing is perfect. Just think based on what you need and what is your priority when choosing something.

If you talk about specs and hardwares, all brands are the same.
All hardwares are OEM. You need to pay more for brand and better hardware. It's common sense.

If you talk about hardware compatibility, make sure you stay away from HP/Compaq.
Acer and Asus are quite good in that.

If you talk about after sales service, I think Asus 2-year warranty seems to play a big part in her reputation of service quality.
There are good comments from users that local service centre of Asus did offer excellent solutions to users.

If you talk about price, Acer seems to be quite consistent in delivering the product at the right time, right place and right price tag.

Nah, dun think so, just that particular series...

My last laptop Asus W7S with 8400GS broke down 2 or 3 times in less than 3 years... The 3rd time it broke down warranty no more, so had to change new laptop ><

Indeed.

Asus warranty is available in the worldwide as long as there is a service center in that country right?

What about Dell? Their warranty only available in certain countries only right?


I see.

I still have not saw any Asus laptop break down and rarely heard complaint about the Asus laptop quality when compared to HP or Acer.

Yes for Asus... But you gotta bare with the way you send ur laptop for repair in certain places.. I am in London now, last time I sent my Asus laptop for repair, I have gotta call them up and request for a courier UPS sticker and have to package the laptop ourselves while writing the faulty of the laptop on a paper... Then call up UPS to collect the laptop... From then on you can only wait for it to come back.. I don't like the fact that you can't explain ur problems directly to the technician... and having UPS send the laptop to the service centre sounds a bit unsafe LOL

Dell warranty is Asia Pacific only if I am not mistaken?

For me, Dell is just normal.

Normal specs, normal price.
People talk about their on-site service a lot.

I had a Dell Inspiron 8 years ago for my office use.
It broke down. On-site service was granted.
The technician couldn't fix the problem on the spot.
There were no quick solution. I still needed to wait for the parts to arrive.
The technician took the notebook and returned it after 2 weeks.
So, common sense tells you on-site service will not fix the real hardware issues on the spot.

Some people love Dell - they should just get Dell.
It is just some personal preference.

All notebooks break down - it just the matter of "luck" and time.
My previous Asus and Acer notebooks had not failed on me before I disposed them.

well, i only have dell desktops, and they change the hardware on the spot... so yes, i love the dell onsite warranty.

They brought the new hardware with them without diagnosing the PC?

they brought all the hardware. diagnosed and changed on the spot. like all, except a new PSU... and its not new, refurbish. But hey, can't complain.

For my case, the technician didn't bring any hardware with him.
His first visit was diagnosing the PC problem.
Then he needed to order the hardware parts. Waited 2 weeks for that.

It's amazing to see the technicians to bring all the new replacement parts with him.
I think it depends on the hardware availability.

hurm ill b using CAD 3d.leaning towards acer 4820tg or shld i wait for the sandy bridge laptop?wat are the gpu for latest 4820tg laptop?

i7-2630 is here. Are you going to wait for i7-2720 or i5?
Do you need the notebook urgently? What's your budget again?

Besides, for CAD, I'd advise you to stick to nVidia GPU.
4820TG has ATI Radeon GPU.
