Hye guys,


Kindly need your help, helping a friend of mine to buy a new laptop.


Brand: Any (2-3 Suggestions if possible)
Budget: Max RM 1,800.00
Specs: Only Intel no AMD
Purpose: My friend is a designer, do some AutoCAD, PDMS as well as Adobe Photoshop. If possible for some medium gaming such as GTA 4.. and err actually he likes GTA very much.


Thanks ya in advance.

Asus A42JY-VX072 Intel Core i3-380M/2GB RAM/500GB HDD/Radeon HD6470M(1GB)/DOS@RM1899

GTA IV requires at least HD 5650 or HD 6550 to get it playable, anything below that is crippling at barely playable framerate unless you really tweak the hell out of it or you just play it at low detail. Worse, it requires quads to really makes it playable. For that budget forget about any decent gaming. GTA San Andreas and older would run great though

Thanks. i'll check this out.


Oh sorry i think not GTA 4,, maybe older version.. not a fan of GTA games though. Anyway thanks ya. If you got any other suggestion would be better

Hey guys. My sister's laptop went kaput in Melbourne.
And I'm supposed to bring a netbook over.

Typical student usage:
Microsoft office
Surfing the net
Watch movies
Less than RM1,000
Long battery life

Dell Mini 10, N455 + GMA3150@RM999..

From cnet review.
The bottom line: Dell's popular Netbook adds HD video acceleration for a solid movie-watching experience, but requires a still-in-beta Flash update for streaming video.

Pretty much you won't be able to view HD movies in flash, especially under RM1K budget..

Oh. HD videos only is it.
How about Vimeo?

Most netbooks have this problem I presume?

Do you know any other netbooks that are about that price range and standard?
Planning to grab one tomorrow at digital mall.

As long its 360p or 480p, should be fine...

Not sure about other model that under RM1K..

Can stretch until 1.2k if there's a better performance netbook.

By then, can consider Acer AO522, AMD C50 + ATi HD6250@RM12xx...

Okay thanks. Will check it out

right now, im interested with lenovo Y560P but damnn, its sandy bridge processor. why all cheap lappy with awesome spec come with SB??should i wait a lil bit more or just buy new lappy with sb then call for chip replacement?i rly need a new lappy for my works purpose TAT

Try if can increase the budget,
Lenovo U460, i3 380M + nVidia 305M, 1.95KG@RM2399

If you can wait, then wait...
Can you leave your notebook for more than couple days for the replacement? If not, better get the older Core i3/i5/i7...
