or rather, what is your budget and are you looking for a pain free computing experience (most people...) or would you say performance is more important (actually, just. Do you play alot of games that isn't compatible with Mac)

but since i want some fun.
which has a better trackpad interface - apple.
which is better on your wallet - asus (then again, depends on which model)
which has a better build quality - apple macbook pro
which has a better lcd - apple macbook pro
which has a better design - subjective, but i'm gonna go with asus since you get a bigger variation in design, and you don't just get white or black.

list goes on and on...


anyways astria, i think you need to update ur recommendation, plus need updates on the prices

I would suggest Asus due to its 2 year intl warranty and the new models that hasnt been released yet but soon. If u can wait.
A52JV, A42JP would be nice ones to look at for either 15" or 14"

all are important =) cpu and ram for multitasking, modeling and rendering; gpu for more smooth and precise linework, viewports(modeling) and pixels.
atm...the Acer 5750g should do great for this if not u can wait for the new Asus models

Whether acer or lenovo is better...i lean towards lenovo more personally but im not too sure if they already have it in market. can ask hikari85 whos sellling

Is it really out in the market? I am currently hunting a SB based lappy. I had set my eyes on either Asus A43SV or the Acer 5750G. But it seems Asus model is not yet available. Even the older i5-480M Asus U41JF will only available end of this month. Urgently needed a laptop by 1 or 2 weeks time. =(

Yea its definitely out in the market, CNY promotion summore

IMO, if you wan the best and awesome quality go for ASUS(expensive). If you wan a good performance but ok ok quality go for Lenovo, Acer or Toshiba (price ok la). DELL and HP sucks !!!Don't even bother bout Sony Vaio, its more on looks than performance

Added on January 14, 2011, 11:59 pmoh yea just to confirm
ATI 6570m or Nvidia GT540m better????

GT540m got benchmark on notebookcheck.net but 6570m don't have. Somehow the 6570m is higher than GT540m

i saw the pricelist for the Toshiba and Qosmio sandy bridge lines, and i can say that its at least rm6999 with the same specs as the 5750g shocking.gif but it has 3D stuffs. i can say that toshiba is the expensive line rather than Asus which is more of a middle to low priced bang for buck kind of brand tongue.gif
theres no benchmark yet for 6570m but i reckon its more or less the same with gt540m

there's 2 variants of 6570M, 1 is GDDR3 and GDDR5...

540M is slightly better than the GDDR3 6570M... However the GDDR5 6570M pawns them both...

http://h20386.www2.hp.com/MalaysiaStore/Pr...95&pid=C338007&
I would get this if dv6 improved their ventilation since the last model...

The benchmark
http://3dmark.com/3dm06/15217436

apparenly the Lenovo one is GDDR3 according to a forummer... So HP dv6 wins handsdown for RM3299...

I need recommendations for a friend. He needs a 13"~15" laptop using intel. His budget is RM2500 and his main uses are movies,facebooking and audio/video recording editing (musician). He doesnt want an apple product and is leaning towards acer and asus. Please give me some suggestions. Any help is appreciated guys. Thanks biggrin.gif

Did you ask why your friend didn't like Apple?
My sister is a musician. She's into composing and editing music.
She loves Apple.

I'd suggest Apple. Otherwise, for the budget of RM2.5K, Acer 4820TG could be his best bet.

Same here. Desperate getting one by end of this month. Going overseas next month. ==

I guess Lenovo's specs seems good for the price. Acer don't have BT, but Lenovo has. While Lenovo's hardisk is 750GB. If the graphic card's is GDDR5 for Acer, then Acer should be the best one. As for HP, some reluctant due to overheat issues.

If you are hardcore gamer, I guess you can choose Acer since its among the cheaper ones. Just don't have Bluetooth. Since many forumers using it, you can directly PM to them. I read their reviews are quite good. My 2cents. tongue.gif

I'd assume you have no issues with the price of the 3 listed notebooks.

Acer has the cheapest price (you can pretty sure its performance since few users have already tested this notebook).
HP has the best performance (make sure it has DDR5 on the GPU. Otherwise, forget about Radeon 6570).

Acer is using nVidia GPU GT540 with DDR3.

Quality of the brand?
Acer is No.1 notebook manufacturer in the world.
Acer would have bashed (by millions of users) to death if it has poor quality.
Quality is subjective anyway.

If you love Lenovo, just grab it.

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. smile.gif

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 biggrin.gif

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.

Agree. Cheap price with cheap quality.

I have seen how users are frustrated with the slow Acer After sales services and their laptop spoiled after using for a year plus.

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 ><

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

i already replied ur question in 4820TG thread...

anyways, for ur budget 4820TG is still the best choice..

make sure u get the i5-480M + HD6550 version.. Someone stated that you can get for RM2370 in digital mall.. Upgrade ram to 4gb and you're good to go..

If you need a bigger screen and even better performances, go for 5750G with Sandy Bridge quadcore processor and more powerful GPU.. It sells around RM27xx...

Current Sandy Bridget cost more than 2.5K.
You won't see SB i5 by 10 Feb.

Acer 4820TG is the best in your list. It is the best in its class.
It fits your budget too. It's good enough for gaming.
Get the one with i5-480 & Radeon 6550.

Yup.

I suppose they would call back in case your paper description is not good enough?

As for the UPS, you should really ask them if they are responsible for anything happens after the laptop is with the UPS. icon_rolleyes.gif

I have had bad experience with hardware compatibilities with HP, particularly memory modules).
The software support like bios was pretty bad too.
HP should not give you much issues if you run it in stock setting.

Are you going to use OpenGL?
nVidia has better driver in general.

It was the mobo problem. The mobo was replaced in 2 weeks.

Remote diagnosis? No chance for that.
Dead mobo. No boot up at all.
The technician was checking the power adapter/motherboard/ram modules.
The technician needed to report to Dell before placing the order for replacement parts.

Should be around the price range of RM3199-RM3399. But they said probably end of this month. By that time I guess is around early February. I urgently needed a lappy by end of this month...so now I am also confused. DOn't know whether should I wait or just grab the Acer or Lenovo. sad.gif

I see. No wonder it would take 2 weeks. Usually it is done on site when any minor component break down.

Anyway, how many times your Dell mobo fails? I heard some of them fail 8 times in 3 years. unsure.gif unsure.gif

Again the same choices... Acer 4820TG @RM23xx-24xx - i5-480m with HD6550.. add additional 2gb ram for RM70 and you're good to go...

Else you can refer to those few new Asus lappies selling for RM2699 RRP in the previous image..

around the same, 540M better than this HD6570 GDDR3 on paper though.. But in terms of gaming performance would differ with different games...

However there is a variant HD6570 GDDR5 available in the new Hp-dv6 for RM3299
http://h20386.www2.hp.com/MalaysiaStore/Pr...95&pid=C338007&

This has much better performance than both previously stated GPU's...

battery life is like 6-7 hours... i3-380M with HD6550.... Slim profile around 1.8kg only and 13inch screen.. RRP Rm2199 but I think you can find slightly cheaper at Garage sales...
You can't find anything better than that at the price...

If I am not mistaken, there is no 13 inch or smaller laptop on the market now which comes close to 3820TG in terms of gaming...

around the same, 540M better than this HD6570 GDDR3 on paper though.. But in terms of gaming performance would differ with different games...

However there is a variant HD6570 GDDR5 available in the new Hp-dv6 for RM3299
http://h20386.www2.hp.com/MalaysiaStore/Pr...95&pid=C338007&

This has much better performance than both previously stated GPU's...

hey guys i just got my Lenovo y560p with the 2nd gen i7 for RM3100 ytd. Got the 2nd Last unit. The other wan is the display tongue.gif . This model selling fast btw, they said they just got it the day b4 i bought it and now no more stock. Plus the seller told me in a few weeks time the price might go up to Rm3.8k.

This laptop can play black ops at 1080p smoothly and high settings but the temps go up very fast la

IMO i think this lenovo is better than Acer 5750g even though Acer is cheaper(RM2900) cause Lenovo got bigger HD and nice features

Hi Trance4eva. May I know where you purchased your Lenovo Y560P laptop? It's because I found out some shops they don't have any unit of Lenovo Y560P yet...they said it will arrived end of this month coz its not launched yet. I am like O.O And I thought they already advertised on the newspaper the other day? Weird. hmm.gif Just managed to see and play around with the actual Acer 5750G tho...imho the keyboard is the drawback. May I know it is hot easily during idle and how heavy is it with battery attached on it? Thanks for replying. smile.gif

hey i bought mine from digital mall, PJ. The shop is on the ground floor. They sell Asus, Acer and Lenovo laptops. They said there will be a stock coming in tmr so you might want to drop by to buy it. If you want to buy the Lenovo you better buy it quick because their stock can finish in 2 days and thre price will increase in a few weeks time (the seller told me that) because its still a new laptop, ppl dun know how good it is yet. If many people find out, the demand will be high so the price increase. From what i can see, its really selling dam fast...just 2 days and no stock!!!!!! Dun bother bout Acer, it sucks.

The keyboard on the Lenovo laptop is not that bad, can get use to it. This laptop also can lock your screen by sliding ur finger on the navigaion pad. Quite cool features, better than Acer.

As for the temps, im not sure bout the actual temp value but i can tell you this, when in gaming it gets really really hot. I can only feel the heat on the left side of the laptop and not the right side. Somehow the right side is quite cool and the ventilation is on the left side.

The battery is 6 cell so it is not really that heavy

To be honest, those are 1 of the bullshits sellers talk about.. RRP is rm2999, how can it spike up to so high? I dun think that's ethical.. If really like that, ppl would rather get N53SN which is Asus premium series with better GPU and cheaper price then..

Added on January 16, 2011, 7:50 pmYup, most laptops tend to have their ventilation holes on the left side because so that it won't burn or hand or smth when u using a mouse..

Thanks for your reply. I've got another few questions to ask. What is the retailer name that you had purchased the laptop? And when you got the time, can you review how long the battery last when using minimal web surfing and word processing. Enjoy your new lappy! biggrin.gif

the shop name is D-Fusion. I think they also have another shop in Low Yat. I think the battery could last more than 2 hours. Have not try in battery yet, right now is plug with the Ac adapter. Maybe i try tmr at college. 1 think good bout this laptop is that it has a energy management. The touch button for this app is located on the top of the laptop. It enables you to change the laptop to Energy Star mode, High Performance, Balanced, Power Saver and Super Power Saver.

Yea sure.

Specs:
i7 2630QM
ATi HD6570
4GB RAM DDR3
HD 750GB 5400 rpm
resolution 1366x768

Well at 1st look the design of the laptop is not to bad. The keyboard is okay but 1 thing i dun like is the Fn is located on the bottom left of the keyboard. Usually is suppose to be Ctrl at the bottom left...somehow its Fn, can be quite annoying sometimes.

The touchpad is nice. Its big and the left and right button feels like a mouse button when i click it.

On the left side is there is the on off button, and the recovery button. The recovery button is really small. You have to be carefull not to press it. But somehow if you press it, it needs o confirm twice b4 u use the windows recovery

On the right side is the volume control and mute. For windows media player, if you press the mute button, it will pause the song,video etc

On the top there is a hidden line where you can slide your finger to navigate. Its quite cool. You can add shortcut to the app and use ur finger to navigate by sliding. You can also lock the screen by sliding left to right. Sliding Right to left enables you to change the desktop background.

This laptop has a ethernet pot, 3 USB 2.0, USB 2.0 combo with Esata, VGA port, HDMI port, DVDRW drive, audio and headphone port. The ventilation is located at the left side.

This laptop comes with a JBL speaker (never heard of it). Its just like other laptop speaker. Not that bad but i cant really hear the bass. I dun think there is a subwoofer.

Also got webcam, 1.3MP. Theres a app that comes with this laptop for the webcam. Quite fun to use it. Can add some stuff on your face that move around with your fac..lol

This laptop also comes with a bluetooth and wireless, might want to turn them off when not using.


When gaming, the heat can go up to 80+ celcius. So you might wan to play in an aircon room equip with a notebook fan.
1 thing i like bout the CPU is that it has 8 CORES. 2nd gen i7 with sandy bridge....what do you expect, lol.
The GPU is ok la. Play MOH, Black OPS can run smoothly. But play Lost Planet 2 the FPS is 15 and below on High setting DX11.


Overall the laptop is really good. Looking at the 2nd generation i7 with sandy bridge for only RM3100......really worth it. Compare to other brand with same price, they do not have the Sandy Bridge yet. So getting this is worth it.

The downside is the Fn key for me and the Temp. Need to keep a constant look on the temp when playing in high graphics gaming. As for the battery life.....have not try it yet, maybe sooon.

JBL are quite famous speakers manufacturer for Apple and their IEM and headphones aint bad also..

Hmm weird no subwoofers? I rmb the previous generation Y560 has it..


I thought Acer has 2 years local warranty OR 1 year international traveller's warranty?

oh yea. somemore review bout the laptop

The OneKey button can enhanced the audio and video settings with the touch of a button, making the most of the premium JBL® speakers, Dolby® Home Theatre™ and high-resolution graphics. It has 3 mode, normal, movie and intelligent.

The laptop cover has a brush metal cover. Quite nice to look at. Its very simple and clean

oh yea. somemore review bout the laptop

The OneKey button can enhanced the audio and video settings with the touch of a button, making the most of the premium JBL® speakers, Dolby® Home Theatre™ and high-resolution graphics. It has 3 mode, normal, movie and intelligent.

The laptop cover has a brush metal cover. Quite nice to look at. Its very simple and clean

Then get the Lenovo laptop. So far it's the best laptop you can get with this kind of budget. But you might have to add some $$ for global warranty.

But there is another option...you can but this laptop at Aus or mayb you can find the Asus laptop there

Why not get Asus N53SN then?? I think i heard some retailers saying that it's available next week or coming very soon, which I assume is before February..
Asus is the best choice if you go overseas because 2 years international warranty... N series uses B&O speakers also...

Yeah...if that's the case should be getting Lenovo Y560p and fork out some $$$ on international warranty. I heard Australia's lappy costs more if you convert it to Malaysia ringgit (that's what I heard from my friends la). Anyhow...thanks for your reviews and suggestions. nod.gif

I was waiting either for their N series to launch or the A series A43SV (which ever available in the market 1st). But it seems that many retailers told me these new models will be available end of the month or early February. Don't know is it true or not. hmm.gif

Depends, they have some models which are not available in Malaysia and are cheaper... But most of it should be cheaper in Malaysia based on current prices/trend.

Well your friends might be wrong. Try and ask some people living in Aus. I think in the Asus G series forum, there is 2 forumers living in Aus. You could try and ask them bout laptop price there.

Anyways. no problem, happy to help

Will wait until end of this week. If not will get the Lenovo...save the hassle to wait for laptops (especially Asus models ) that are uncertain over their releasing date.

i got no budget, depends on which one is better, and i use it for some small games like Dota and doing my daily accounting works

then u dont need really a expensive one..
around 3k can get a good and nice one..
acer 5750g at rm2769 selling by yoongkeen
lenovo y560p at selling by hikari85
hp-dv6 RRP at rm3299

IMO, i not recommending for hp due to the heat problems
either lenovo or acer would do!

Hello all
I am looking to purchase a Laptop with an estimate budget of RM5k. Thinking to bring it oversea can someone please recommend me one?

Maybe around 15" and for gaming as well, if possible last around 3-4hour without charging with very low usage.

And one more question, I am bringing it to Australia can the warranty work there as well?

Thanks!

Yes Z460 is the best choice for you.. Only able to do light gaming though, so far all the feedbacks from forummers are quite good and that's the only i5 for sub-RM2k range...

Wait for the upcoming Asus N53SN for RRP RM3599, should be coming out anytime this week or next week.... Asus is 2 years international warranty so it's the best choice for you, it would work in Aussie... Not sure about battery life but I think with Nvidia Optimus it would be able to last 3 hours...

I havent owned an Acer, but alot of sellers and computer technicians advice against it. One even confirming my theory that the way they sell so many units is by offering high specs at a good price, but this is made possible by sacrificing good build quality. If the machine's construction is under par, it wouldnt allow said high spec'd hardware to perform to its best ability. Heating issues, compatibility issues, parts malfunctioning (keyboard, screen..etc). And for me personally, if I am spending alot of time on a laptop, like digital painting, 3d modelling...I would like the laptop I work with to be strong, sleek and beautiful looking...it needs to 'feel' loved. Acers are comparible to those V-tech children's toy laptops.
http://www.drtoy.com/images/items/vtech_1999_b.jpg

Things like the keyboard is so vital when comes to giving the user a pleasurable experience, it being the main input device, where you and the computer 'meet' if you will. Your hands are on it half the time eh. The dude who bought the 5750G recently, he's already brought up issues with the tacky keyboard.

Plus I've heard not so good reviews about their after sale service. Even Cnet reviewers consistently complain about their craftsmanship.
It would be wiser to pay a couple of hundred dollars more and get a better designed machine, even if its at slightly lower specs. Nowadays Asus, another mid-range notebook like Acer, but only slightly more expensive, offer similar specs with a little better designs. The final nail on the coffin being its reliability. I saw the new Asus brochure pdf some where on here for Jan/Feb...and it says Nasa astronauts prefer Asus notebooks for their reliability. With so many people on the forum, including my self, leaving abroad soon for uni, the Asus 2 year international warranty should be very enticing.

What Dell2011 said is so true. Agree with you mate. Acer laptops are not good quality laptops.

About the astronoaut using Asus laptops is true. An expedition team that went to the peak of Mount Everest also uses an Asus laptop and they said that their laptop never fail them even though its below freezing point there.

I would relly reccomand Asus laptop for anyone that would add a few extra bucks for quality

Thats a very good choice..best looking, strongest and most customarisable laptop thats affordable. However, I would advice you to wait till around Feb/March, if you're not in a hurry to get a notebook. As the new XPS 15 would carry the SB processor at the same price range you're buying the previous gen i7. So this way, you are getting more value! and believe me, the SB processor is worth the wait. The entry level i7 kills the previous gen's high end i7. Not only in terms of gaming, but processing speed of applications, multitasking, power consumption...etc. The onboard GPU is strong enough to handle HD vids, so if you are not plugged in, use the nVidia gpu feature to switch to onboard automatically and seamlessly, and you can still view at high quality with fraction of the battery usage. The new i7 has considerably stronger heat management too, allowing your hardware to last that bit longer.
And finally, the new XPS 15 has not even been announced, so who knows, theyd prolly have new addon features like a matte screen!

PS - u shud be doing more cardio now, to get definition ;D

yea but i roughly know which one he likes, (his favourite is the lenovo ones, their similar to his old toshiba satellite)

@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 hmm.gif
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?

Which version of netbook? And which version of 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.

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.

Huge difference, especially you compare it with notebook HDD with 5400rpm.

Upgrading to SSD will give you the most performance gain (as compared to upgrading ram & CPU).

Acer 3820TG is the best.

I have sold all my Nehalem notebooks but I still keep one unit of 3820TG. I honestly love it.
The look, the design, the performance, the portability - it is just ideal for my biz trip.
The other one would be Asus 13" ultra-slim (I don't recommend it because the price will be different by alot. It seems too glossy to me).

M301z (performance) is as good as Core Duo ULV subnotebook (it's not even close to Nehalem ULV).
The performance just can't compare to notebooks mentioned above.

Yup M301z's processor is too slow compared to other notebooks mentioned... If you don't mind battery life or GPU, just choose any 13 inch which have the keyboard u like most then..

M301z comes with K345. I'd say it's pretty slow for today's standard.

13R is a much powerful machine. The GPU is as good as Radeon 4225.

Normal Vertex 2 will do.
They have the same read/write (assuming you're getting 60-240GB)

Is Acer 4820TG a good laptop? Any complaint on it? Saw it at Digital Mall yesterday and the build quality is not bad. Is there any other model which has long battery life? Toshiba & Asus?

Acer 5750G's design is plain and feel very plastic especially the keyboard although the spec. is good.

Didn't see any HP DV6-4003TX there but saw the older model 3000 series which is very warm at idle. Wonder it will be the same for the new 4000 model.

Y560P has run out of stock but was told the quality is better.

For the Asus N53SN, can preorder now but dun know when you can get it. i will probably wait for this model if it will come out Feb.

The SF controller delivers about 285MB/275 read/write.
All SSDs with SF controller deliver almost the same performance, likewise variants of OCZ.

(The speed of 285/275 R/W is almost the maximum bandwidth that SATA II can deliver. This is why we need SATA III in SB).

Sony VPCYA15FG/B, i3-380M@~RM2199
Toshiba Portege T210, U5400@~RM1.9k
Dell M101z, K145/K345@~RM1499-RM1699 (varies according to specifications)
Asus Lamborghini VX6 (12.1inch), Atom D525@~RM2299
Acer 1830TZ, iinm it runs on U5400 as well, price is around RM2k (do correct me if I'm wrong, I'm rather outdated already hehe) hmm.gif
There's some from Fujitsu and Thinkpad as well... can't remember them models haha sweat.gif

Also, if you're into gaming, then the Alienware M11x hehe laugh.gif

Hi , all sifus , I am thinking of buying Asus A42JP-VX098V.RM 2699 (Intel Core i5-480M processor, ATI mobility radeon HD6570 with 2GB GDDR3 VRAM , 4 GB DDR3 RAM)

Initially thought of buying Asus A43SV @RM3339 , (Intel Core i7-2630M processor,Nvidia Geforce @GT 540M with 2GB DDR3 VRAM, 4 GB DDR3 RAM)

but it is only available after CNY and i prefer to have my laptop before CNY.

I am using it for gaming, surfing net , back testing of system .

Please help me to look at the spec for Asus A42JP as i am a noob in this matter. Is it ok to buy ? Is it better to get my self a i7 processor?

thanks alot

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

yea but i roughly know which one he likes, (his favourite is the lenovo ones, their similar to his old toshiba satellite)

@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 hmm.gif
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?
*
It takes about 1.5 minutes for me to hear the welcome sound.

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?
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.
*
ZIF is a brand for the SSD?

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....

Can anyone recommend me a 10" inch netbook that is light and be carry around. I want a netbook that can run 720p videos without lag and even better if it can play 1080p videos without lag  tongue.gif  I heard that new powerful AMD proc is coming? i don't mind waiting  thumbup.gif

Budget=rm 1k

1K for Zacate? We haven't seen 10" Zacate and K10.
1K can't even get you K125.
With your budget, you have to look & wait for second-hand netbook at garage sales.

Good luck.

Just wondering, when exactly will the new ASUS models be released? Cause was planning to buy the X42 model as it was on promo due to CNY. After going thru many reviews, I've decided to not go for it but instead attracted to the new models. Not confident in Acer though even though Acer 5750G is just too FREAKING IMBA! vmad.gif Basically Acer ruins everything for me lol. So should I wait? Budget below RM3K and a gamer but not hardcore though, so i7 is optional to me. Am attracted to A42JP and A52JV. One more thing, is Sandy Bridge worth goin for? As the new models with it from ASUS are quite out of my budget. sad.gif

What X42 are u talking about? The Hd5470 in x42jr is in no position to play any recent games lol..

Depends on ur use actually.. If u have lots of programs which utilises quad cores of course go for i7 by any means.. If gaming, won't really make much differences, maybe 3-4 fps differences only..

Ok Lenovo V470 is the right thing for you then... It's the only 14 inch with Sandy Bridge at the moment, can do light gaming only though.. Speakers, just get an external one I guess... Most laptop speakers are similar, not really good in quality unless u get 15 inches one which MIGHT have a subwoofer built-in...

Hi there mates, I'm looking to buy a laptop. I was looking at m11x, i"m actually pretty happy at it and the price is alright.

I have a few questions though, I'm hoping you mates can provide me with some good reviews.

1) at 11.6" , alright at 12", wouldn't it be an eyesore?I mean, I've tinkered with my friend's netbook and at 11", my worth, half an hour with it, i felt like dying.
2) i searched through dell, for m11x, the rams are by default 1333mhz. However, according to dell, as we purchase the laptop, it'll be running on 800mhz.
3) Again, the size, 12", typing on it would be a pain also ain't it?

Do enlighten me. Thanks !

The M11x is not a bad laptop at all apart from being underpowered abit nod.gif
Q1: Different people have different views on the screen sizes. Personally I like small screens hehe laugh.gif So I guess its totally up to you. Can get an external monitor if viewing is a problem
Q2: No idea haha doh.gif
Q3: Typing on a 11.6-12.1 subnotebook depends on the keyboard quality/ergonomics. The keyboard on the M11x is quite good and will do fine. Not sure about long term typing though.... but that can be solved by simply getting an external keyboard la hehe laugh.gif

Hey Guys,

I am planning to buy a laptop with budget of +- 3k. Preferable Asus because of its 2 years global warranty due to the fact that i am going oversea for study. I will do a lot of photoshop and Full HD video editing such as After Effect etc.. So, i do not want the waiting process to be slow. (Like my current laptop, it takes me 20mins to open a full HD video file on Movie maker). I am thinking of getting a i7 with Sandy Bridge, but would it be necessary? Any recommendation?

EDIT: i would like to have good speakers and HD screen too.

(Like my current laptop, it takes me 20mins to open a full HD video file on Movie maker). I am thinking of getting a i7 with Sandy Bridge, but would it be necessary? Any recommendation?

I am thinking of this too. But would it be a waste to get Sandy Bridge because i dont know whether the video editing and photoshop need that 2nd gen i7. BTW, does this laptop come with built-in subwoofer and 720p screen?

The M11x is not a bad laptop at all apart from being underpowered abit  nod.gif
Q1: Different people have different views on the screen sizes. Personally I like small screens hehe  laugh.gif So I guess its totally up to you. Can get an external monitor if viewing is a problem
Q2: No idea haha  doh.gif
Q3: Typing on a 11.6-12.1 subnotebook depends on the keyboard quality/ergonomics. The keyboard on the M11x is quite good and will do fine. Not sure about long term typing though.... but that can be solved by simply getting an external keyboard la hehe  laugh.gif

vocal recording? IMO Mac's Garage Band is 1 of the best vocal recording software... Would suggest MacBook White but it's slightly out of ur budget... In terms of built-in microphone, it's the best also..

Unless u're using USB Condenser mics, u can try to get Acer 4820TG @RM24xx.. But then Window's recording software aren't as good unless u pay for some expensive ones..

Fruity Loops isn't that bad, i find it easy to use. But garage band is the most pain free one... has everything.... even guitar tutorials i'm told... never tried it tho.

this one really hard to say.. I am guessing both would be around the same since both can score 10k in 3Dmark06...

But then need to wait for benchmarks from users then only know...

Hi guys, my dad is getting a new laptop and asked me to help get some recommendations for him.

1. Brand. --> Any (but prefers Sony)
2. Budget. --> About any average person, probably about RM3-4k. (he didn't tell me ...)
3. Specs. --> Don't need a very powerful lappie, he's using it more for business and traveling purposes.
4. Size. --> 14" and below (preferably 13" - 14")

Really appreciate the recommendations tongue.gif

EDIT: Increased the budget.

The 11.6 inch Vaio is quite prevalent... I've seen them before (even in 1Utama) haha laugh.gif Still do take note that its running on a ULV processor (i3-380UM)...
Other alternatives include Acer 1830TZ, Toshiba Portege T210, Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 11, HP DM1, Fujitsu PH520/530 etc.

Best bang for buck? I would say the Dell M101z is the best option for you nod.gif
If possible try to get the one with the K345 processor for better performance icon_rolleyes.gif

The price forum is abit outdated already nod.gif
Both the Acer and Toshiba will have the same performance... But the Acer has much longer battery life. The keyboard may require some getting use to though.
Toshiba is solid but glossy... and doesn't have multimedia buttons (if you're very particular about those haha) laugh.gif
Perhaps you should choose the Acer and use the remaining money to extend the warranty to 3 years?

but heard my colleague complained about his acer laptop that goes "kong" just after 1 year warranty ended made me think it twice..
if it is an acer, can u quote me the latest model u got in mind? and within my previous budgeted model of course wink.gif

If you are into gaming then the Z460 will definitely not be enough nod.gif But it sure looks good though hehe~
Perhaps you should consider Acer 4820TG/3820TG instead thumbup.gif

hey guys need your opinion and reviews for Acer 4743G..

for a budget of 2.5k there are a few which i have been eyeing on..
there is the the highly recommended acer 4820, but the acer 4743g doesnt have much info or comments.

Acer 4743G - 2399RM

the specs are i5 480m, gt 540m drool.gif

Based on the previous brochures, it seems that Asus is not really into ULV processors, where the only model that comes with ULV is the 12.1inch Asus UL20FT (only available in Singapore)...
Asus managed to offer good battery lives even without the use of CULV processors thumbup.gif

ULV processors are very weak, even for SB ones... performance difference is very big nod.gif
I think if you prioritize in performance, you will need to either top up your budget, or let go of the cool factor hmm.gif

I think its best to wait until there are more options bro... now the laptops with SB are quite limited to Acer 5750G, Asus A43/N43/53, HP DV6, Lenovo Y560P. Maybe you can wait for the refreshed ones from Dell nod.gif

That's one of the coolest things about Asus machines, with their 2 year international warranty, doesnt matter where in the world you buy it from, your laptops' gonna be covered for 2 years minimum. Also, what the f is a 'ULV' processor?

Lol.. ULV = ultra low voltage like the processors in AW m11x and thinkpad edge 11..
SB ULV are gonna be in the upcoming Samsung 9 series

The only models worth considering from Toshiba are the L645 with i5-460M/560M+ATI5650@RM2.6/2.9k... the other L645 models are not that good though, there are better alternatives from other brands...  icon_rolleyes.gif

The Inspiron 1420 is a budget laptop with many problems doh.gif But its good to see that the newer batches of Inspirons are better already thumbup.gif
Can consider Asus A42JP/A52JV/N43JF as shown here: http://event.asus.com/my/2011/productguide/PG_Jan_Feb.pdf
But you may need to wait a few more weeks for these models to arrive though...
I think you can either get a 4820TG and upgrade the warranty to 3 years, or you can get an Asus laptop (they come with 2 years international warranty)... If you plan on getting a Toshiba and then extend the warranty I'm afraid it will exceed your budget

hey guys need your opinion and reviews for Acer 4743G..

for a budget of 2.5k there are a few which i have been eyeing on..
there is the the highly recommended acer 4820, but the acer 4743g doesnt have much info or comments.

Acer 4743G - 2399RM

the specs are i5 480m, gt 540m drool.gif

It is cheaper than the 4820 and have better graphic power, Anyone of u know about this laptop? does it have heat problems or any problems at all?
i saw this from senheng brochure.
*
Acer 4743G seems to have better gpu with cheaper price compared to 4820TG..
But it lose out in battery life..

I didnt even seen this model in lowyat recently..
& no people commented on this model..does this model really existing?? hmm.gif

only senheng selling it?? *weird*

Does Malaysia even have it? The one in senq doesnt even state the specs..
I have doubts about the pricing even it's the real thing.. Cause 4741G is around rm2.5k..
If it's so, then it's good bargain.. But then timelineX series would still have better build and battery life..

Hey guys, I want to ask, Is it worth the money to buy this laptop :

Asus N53SN-SX043V -Aluminium Silver, i7 2630QM + nVidia GT550,2GB GDDR3, 4GB@RM3599.. NEW - Sandy Bridge

Is this laptop a good choice based on the specs vs PRICE?
How does the speaker on this laptop perform? Is it just like any other normal laptop speaker?


Actually I wanted to buy Asus A43SV, but then today I went to the computer shop where I always go to, and they said they has already call the supplier and the supplier said that this model is not coming out. Well,is this true?

Guys , can help me ?

I'm kinda stuck with these two models here right now

1. A42JP
2. 4820TG

I don't think I need a SB right now , so my choices now comes down to these two .

I want my laptop to last at least 3 years without any like hardware problem , and I do play games occasionally .

I heard that the A42JP is still new but many are selling it already , so how about other shops like in Pahang because my dad only wants me to buy at those local shops .

Need suggestions and advise please , a noobie here . LOL

Thanks in advance all sifus !

Asus N43JF or Dell XPS 14 nod.gif
For your budget you'll be able to get way better 15 inch laptops with Intel Sandy Bridge nod.gif
Still, it really depends on whether you need a 14/15 incher icon_rolleyes.gif

Depend on people as well, the more you hoped for, the more stressful you would be.

Just take it easy and buy as you need. Nothing is PERFECT. XD.....

Thanks. I've been considering between that, Toshiba Satellite L645-1112X and Dell Inspiron 14. Was just wondering if there's any other good offers out there. Anyway, do you know how much it cost to extend a Lenovo and Toshiba warranty to 3 years?

1. Brand: Not acer please. (Prefer Asus)
2. Budget: Around rm3k, prefer <3k.
3. Specs:good battery life, portable, surfing internet, good speaker for listening music, suitable for gaming such as COD, dota, L4D,etc.
4. Size: 14 -15 inch
5. Processor- intel i7 core.
So far, people from computer shops recommended me ASUS X42JR-VX141V.

if you can add in another RM400,you may have a look with Asus N82JQ -VX007V which is come with USB 3.0

Asus N82JQ-VX007V Intel Core i7-720QM/4GB RAM/640GB HDD/14"/GeForce GT335M(1024MB)/W7HP@RM2999

Okay, thanks for suggestion.

Let's just say u cant really game much with x42jr since the GPU is really weak.. If u dun game, better get Lenovo V470 @rm26xx... Much better option and using SB processor.. Intel Hd3000 almost same level as Hd5470 anyways

1. Brand: Any brand
2. Budget: Less than 2k
3. Specs: Any specs will do as long as can do some Ms. Office stuff and play games (Not those high requirement games).
4. Size: Maybe 13 - 14?

Acer 3820TG @rm21xx is the only one capable to play recent games properly and it has long battery life and 2fans.. Sony vaio z out of ur budget also, stillthe GPU is not as good as 3820TG

Then check out any laptops with i5-480m/i5-460m with Intel HD within ur budget should do the job




P.S. Everyone before you post, can u guys at least read the previous few pages before asking?! There's been tons of similar budget and uses for many ppl.. Should just refer the answer given previously since those mentioned are the best deals currently.. Notice many sifus dun come here give answers anymore? Because the things asked is repetitive again n again..

There is only one model A42Ja, the one with i7...

But with the old i7, don't expect good battery life and higher temp also compared to i5...
and also its soft speaker...

But if you are looking for 10'', that would be that T580..

Basically, A42Ja is just X42Jr with better GPU....
But at that price point, getting the Acer 5750G or Lenovo Y560P with the latest i7 2630QM is a much better choice and both also got similar/better GPU than A42Ja...

I've tried the T580, the stylus isn't that nice to use. The TH700 is nice and the price i think its RM4399, thing is it already EOL. I'm still hunting for leftover models.

IMO, the windows based tablet PC is not a suitable choice for a few reasons:

1. the touchscreen experience is not as good as ipad or other capacitive tablet devices.
2. Windows OS is quite power consuming when compared to ipad or SGT.
3. It gets heats up easily compared to ipad.

By the way, is there any thread for the tablet recommendation? hmm.gif

Does Malaysia even have it? The one in senq doesnt even state the specs..
I have doubts about the pricing even it's the real thing.. Cause 4741G is around rm2.5k..
If it's so, then it's good bargain.. But then timelineX series would still have better build and battery life..

performance? not really relevant, the laptops aren't exactly stressed... but its decent with the i3-380 processor. things aren't slow. the heat is noticeable because the vent is on the left, blowing out the air, but the laptop itself doesn't really heat up.

warranty? i duno. I dun want to try. better the tablet have no problem at all.

I see. My Asus convertible netbook does not have the heat vents at all. So, have to improvise other type of cooling method.

Nobody will ever want to spoil their laptop just for the sake of trying the warranty services. tongue.gif

the CPU is quite good, normal tasks would be better.. Just that gaming depends on GPU more comparatively to CPU... Add Rm99 more u could've gotten A42Ja which is the same thing but with HD5730 which is much stronger GPU...

yups! lots of window and design things related needed. can't used iPad or SGT.

Not only that. My mum which is a gadget naive woman bashes ipad because she cannot use it to visit the stock market website because ipad cannot support java. sweat.gif

What a shame for my ifag uncles that support and promote Apple products....
Yup, that is why i prefer the resistive touchscreen for the websurfing.
Which 1? Mind posting a link about its specification here?

trading platform another thing also.

performance? not really relevant, the laptops aren't exactly stressed... but its decent with the i3-380 processor. things aren't slow. the heat is noticeable because the vent is on the left, blowing out the air, but the laptop itself doesn't really heat up.

warranty? i duno. I dun want to try. better the tablet have no problem at all.

owh? your TH700 works great? how long the battery last. can it works on video or design editing?...

I already have one tablet netbook.

One of the main reason other platform does not work with the trading platform because they did not support java in the first place.
