DM1z is nice... the only viable competitor to Asus 1215B but i came with weird combination of 1 piece 2GB RAM and 1 piece 1GB RAM but 3GB should be enough.
*
Yeah, the biggest competitor now is the 1215b... but the lack of an OS, and the currently undetermined arrival time is a huge setback sad.gif

Thx for the input bro.
Seems tat most of the mentioned have very similar specs.
With that, comes down to brand fight i guess ? That being said, are all these brands equally reliable ? Or are some better and some not so ?
I used to have an acer for a few years already, so does many of my frens, many of us have problems with the laptops, heat issues mainly.
*
Yeah, it all boils down to personal preferences, I suggest you go and try and feel each laptop before purchasing~
Wheter they're reliable or not depends on how you take care of them nod.gif Getting warranty extension will prove useful in the long run
Do take note that all the Asus models mentioned come with 2 years international warranty nod.gif
As for the Acer 4830Tg, its very good, if you have doubts, do refer to this thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1806729 thumbup.gif

hey ya about alienware m11x how much the price now

True, if you're into gaming, better choose a laptop with a better GPU... CPU has very little effect on gaming performances
The Alienware M11x R3 will probably be announced tomorrow... we'll know the updated price in a day or two...
For current prices of existing models: http://www.dell.com/my/p/alienware-m11x/pd...s=dhs&cs=mydhs1

Wow wow Wow,wait what?4k?lol

It seems that Dell has removed the other ULV i3/i5 variants from the website (probably to make way for the new M11x)... Hence its RM4k now shocking.gif
Here are the previous prices:
Alienware M11x, i3-330UM + Nvidia GT335M@RM3199 [2kg]
Alienware M11x, i5-520UM + Nvidia GT335M@RM3499 [2kg]

If you're looking for cheaper ones, do find Mr. Docter at the Alienware thread, he sells Alienware stuffs nod.gif
The upcoming models would be the M11x R3, M14x R1 and M18x R1 nod.gif

hi all, it's me again. looks like my budget has increased from 2.5max to 2.8k-3k max. so.....

1. Brand - Acer, lenovo, asus
2. Budget - 2.8k-3k
3. Specs - i5 SB at least, 1gb discrete graphics, 4gb ram at least, 500 gb hdd at least, usb3.0, good battery life.
4. Size - 14 inch.

my usage will be mainly for work, surfing, watching movies, multitasking. I spend a fair amount of time on Photoshop, indesign and illustrator, and of course a little bit of gaming. i'm quite an audiophile so good audio is a plus. must have chiclet keyboard.

was seriously considering the acer aspire 4830tg. but since budget increase, what models would you guys recommend?

or should i spend my extra dough on a ram+warranty upgrade for the 4830tg? quite in love with that model actually.... halp!

As for Aspires, be sure to get the warranty for peace of mind (most models already come with 3 years warranty, so its good) thumbup.gif

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.


Added on April 20, 2011, 11:31 am

what technology is coming in? unsure.gif

I know HDMI is common; but im referring to hardware specs.

Processor, GPU

*
For the underlined part, if you're not into gaming, there's really noneed to worry about the performance of the integrated Intel GPU? hmm.gif
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 laugh.gif
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 nod.gif

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