I owned Compaq laptop with AMD processor, after 2 years using, can feel the laptop is getting hot when gaming and my lcd got 1 straight line at the bottom area. I looking for new laptop but think wont go for Compaq anymore, will try Asus and MSI, still prefer AMD processor,  |

I looking for new laptop but think wont go for Compaq anymore, will try Asus and MSI, still prefer AMD processor, Yeap, Compaqs are low-end HP, heard a lot of bad things about them  But they sure are cheap~QUOTE(astria) Work 1. Asus X42DE, AMD Phenom II N830 + ATI HD5470@RM1599, FreeDOS 2. Lenovo V470, i7-2630QM + Intel HD3000@RM2699 3. HP Compaq CQ42, AMD Phenom II P840 + ATI HD5470@RM2099 Running Photoshop need not break your wallet. You can get a nice work rig for less than rm3k too. X42De tops the list as it comes with a tri-core (3 cores) CPU and a dedicated GPU. Perfect for programs that are optimized for GPGPU or OpenCL. V470 comes out 2nd since it has the latest Intel Sandy Bridge CPU, which packs some serious performance in multi-thread environment. But do take note Intel graphic do not support GPGPU at the moment. |

Yeah, appears so hehe~Satellite L645 then  Satellite L645, i3-380M + ATI HD5650@RM1999 would be good, a balance between CPU and GPU. The remaining money should be used to extend the warranty This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Apr 11 2011, 03:45 PM |

Some more what i know is, GTX gc only available for i7 processor which support direct-x 11 game like Crisis at the moment... correct me if i'm wrong since i'm quite bad in this So i'm looking for alternatives or 2nd opinion.

Thanks for the advice anyway... The problem you mentioned was only applicable to the Nehalem i7s... Do take note that using SB i3/i5/i7 won't have much difference in terms of gaming performance though if the GPU is the same. But since the N53SN uses GT550M, its already better than almost all of its rival at this price range |
