core i5/i7.. with gpu gt435 or ati 5730 or better with my budget..
i've in my mind the new xps15..

nvidia 8600gt.. replaced the motherboard once.. rm600 maaa..
it hasn't been a year the motherboard dead..

it's already a miracle it's dead only twice after so long...

8600M GT = 8000M series Nvidia GPU, famous to have overheating problems and break down very easily..

All brand claim they all No.1 all this crap la
Honestly based on review and feedback Asus is the best......but expensive la

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.

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

i dun really care bout Optimus. Its just power consumtion. ATI also should have i think

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 ><

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.

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

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.

i need a laptop to run win2008 server R2 with sql2008 r2 and sharepoint 2010. so i need powerful cpu, and alot ram. gpu not important. which model is best for this?budget 3-4k

if got usb 3.0 better.

HP sucks Dell sucks. They have lots of problems
there is your answer, go for Lenovo/IBM

buying laptop is like you buy toto. it's based on luck

many years ago they used to be bad and easily breakdown, many ppl still have the old perception that Acer is unreliable like 8 years ago...

R u sure Acer is bad? My 6 years-old Acer Travelmate still working fine..  

how is your usage bro

Get 3820TG for rm21xx and remaining rm8xx to buy SSD?

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
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.

wait, then ssd need use which port? if we're talking about the sandforce controller? with roughly 270mb read/write....

^ZIF is the connector...
Which in this case, pSSD P2 is ZIF SSD..
and its a slow drive, even if compared to 2.5'' HDD...

While current SSD with SandForce Controller should be around here..

Guys any recommend shop to buy laptop at Lowyat? Im currently here thanks for the time

ok can anyone recommend me a store in digital mall trsutable 1 ? im interested in that Acer 5750G

Where is the HUB bro? What floor? Thanks

THE HUB,Viewnet Computer System Sdn. Bhd.

more power consuming = use more power?
or save more power?

Alienwares included? Hehehe 
None at the moment... the waiting game goes on 

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 

Alot of Asus models can last up to 6 hours and more now haha 
If you are referring to the one with ULV i3-330UM, then yes, its probably the UL20FT... its just to bad it ain't sold here
