QUOTE(Trance4eva @ Jan 14 2011, 11:10 PM) yea I was thinking of Asus but there are kinda too expensive...im on a tight budget and i need it ASAP for college, lecturer asking to bring laptop on Friday  ''' hmmm i am seriously thinking bout Acer 5750G. What is the screen resolution?? if u need it urgently and tight on budget then go for 5750g seriously... 15.6" HD Acer CineCrystal LED LCD 1366 x 768 this should be sufficient =) |

QUOTE(Trance4eva @ Jan 14 2011, 11:20 PM) hmmm how about Lenovo Y560P??? Acer or Lenovo better??? im also looking at quality not just performance Yea u can also take a look at the new y50p with sandy bridge processor.. The gpu is different. ATI HD 6570M which is probably slightly better than gt540m and 750gb hdd  oh and surely has bluetooth 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 |

QUOTE(Trance4eva @ Jan 14 2011, 11:55 PM) 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  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  theres no benchmark yet for 6570m but i reckon its more or less the same with gt540m |

QUOTE(Trance4eva @ Jan 15 2011, 01:16 AM) 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
Added on January 15, 2011, 1:17 ami dun really care bout Optimus. Its just power consumtion. ATI also should have i think 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 |

QUOTE(djronzai @ Mar 1 2011, 03:50 PM) yea but still dotn understand... can u explain to me by not using some vocabulary thta i dont understand.... Sandy Bridge is the codename given to the new core i processors. The old ones have different names. Is that what u want to know or u want something technical.? |

QUOTE(djronzai @ Mar 1 2011, 04:22 PM) yes something technical , why people say it is better? To make it simple..because it is much faster than the old processors. The i7 laptop sandy bridges can match with some desktop i7's. Plus the integrated graphic card that comes with it (Intel GMA) is much better than before and its power consumption also improves from the old processors since it only utilizes cores that are in use therefore improving battery life. |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Mar 1 2011, 09:06 PM) Well, your potential notebook surely won't last you a lifetime  COD isn't very demanding compared to other games like Metro2033 haha Anyway, here's a website for you to gauge the performance of the GPU of your choice: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Game...ds.13849.0.htmlAnyway, what's your preferred laptop size? So far most of the good laptops currently are 15 inchers... N53SV (i5-2420M + GT540@RM2799) A53SV (i5-2420M + GT540@RM2599) Can consider these two... but may need to wait for them to be available  isn't it supposed to be i5-2410M?  |

Yup knew it. the previous brochure was only a preliminary with lots of undecided models and inaccurate. N43sl specs never appeared around here anyways.
