I have experience of intel gpu... in long term; its screw.

I can give you a summary of how screwed is the gpu is.

Intel Graphic > Nvidia GPU > AMD ATI gpu..

Intel graphic will do good for awhile for barely heavy graphic work or intense usage of graphic. But once you go higher usage; there is a hold back; bcos its not that powerful enough to do this.

Nvidia not after 2 years start to make hell lots of issue; would rather stay away; unless nvidia have really rectified themself are better in lifespan.

AMD ATI; been using it for dell laptop i6000, 4 years. So far have never make any issue. Durability is there.

For the underlined part, if you're not into gaming, there's really noneed to worry about the performance of the integrated Intel GPU?
Anyway, most laptops come with "dual" GPUs nowadays, you won't be able to "avoid" one; and the Intel HD3000 is a very big leap from its predecessor in terms of performance
Unless you've tried out all Nvidia and AMD GPUs and have solid statistics to prove that Nvidia is shorter lasting, it will still remain as a speculation

AMD llano is coming?
And who knows, its technology, anything can come out... 5 months is a very very long time in the technological world

Ic, okay.

Why do u just refer to gaming as it need good gpu.
How about basic graphic works? isnt it worth better be other than Intel GPU?

Well, Eugenechiuu and I din't recommended dedicated GPUs because of the Underlined part
Unless your doesnt not = need

Agree...

ops. sorry. My bad.

what I mean is the user doesnt do gaming, but might do graphic stuffs or music; video editing . Which isnt it need proper GPU?

Yeap, a GPU will come in handy depending on what you're doing

If only Dell and Asus:


If you're buying on Oct, perhaps you should come back later?

Laptop should buy as late as you can..the price almost drop RM100 per month. In Oct, i5-2520M and i5-2540M should come out already..video editing can be done by Intel HD3000~it's not require high GPU since you're playing game or editing game(old games like Warcraft and cs are no needed)...

thanks man, but anything else below 3.5k?

prefer an intel, nvidia set

You should be able to get the DV6 without the Beats headphones for around RM3.1k iinm
2nd down the line would be the Asus N53Sn
Followed by Dell XPS 15

you sure N43SL out already??
thought not yet as many not yet see it yet...
i only saw 2 from this forum say "is out"

Well... I just based on one forumer saying its out during PC Fair lol... maybe he saw wrongly...
Perhaps some other sellers can clarify this...
