QUOTE(surfer89 @ May 7 2011, 03:35 PM) 15 inch?haha Added on May 7, 2011, 3:37 pmis there another brand besides accer?thanks yea..=) QUOTE So, if you're into gaming, its best that you try to top up to get the better HP Dv6 and Asus N53Sn at RM3.2k, the performance difference is very well worth the additional top up (if you're gaming)... Specs as follow: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « If strictly under RM3k (15"): » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

^ I've no idea what you're talking about lol
Anyway, the processors usually comes in batches, for instance... for them Arrandale i3 processors...It was i3-330M> i5-350M > i5-370M then only i3-380M... They don't usually release the most powerful one in the beginning based on what I've seen |

QUOTE(AlexLai @ May 7 2011, 09:47 PM) 12" would be a good trade off though. I understand the pain sometimes when using a 10" screen and keyboard but you can't deny the portability of such a device. True, my friend was showing me CS4 on his 8.9" Asus netbook, 1st of its kind LOL, and its not even Atom powered summore Minimum sometimes also not very helpful and accurate. I can run CS5 on my older laptop no problem. Laggy, but usable  |

QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ May 7 2011, 10:02 PM)  Seems like CS5 is going to be a lot more user friendly So only the GPUs mentioned in the list above are capable of supporting the GPU acceleration? They all seemed to be very high-end ones haha~ Added on May 7, 2011, 10:18 pm QUOTE(fruitie @ May 7 2011, 10:07 PM) Thanks.  Are those specs good enough?Or you have better specs for me? Parents are giving me 3k for laptop purchase and it is gonna last me for years, so I prefer to get something with better specs. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Acer 4830Tg, Asus U31Sd, Asus U41Jf?

QUOTE(fruitie @ May 7 2011, 10:27 PM) Besides Acer and ASUS? Did ASUS improve its service? My friend had bad experience with their after-sales service. Asus and Acer both serviced by Highpoint... You may refer to my Flickr for my noobie shots. Picky eh? I didn't know that. For no.8, Vostro 3350 has. PF T.J. suggested those to me few days ago. Hehe, I go check them out nao Eh, you should just stick to 3350 imho, get the famous Dell warranty and you'll be fine Update: Some "noobie" shots you have there hahaha Expert say expert la haha This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: May 7 2011, 10:32 PM |

QUOTE(fruitie @ May 7 2011, 10:36 PM) Alright, points noted! Your photos are really nice la, no kidding Sometimes it is good to break the rule and I might get better deals on some other brands. Expert your head. http://www.lelong.com.my/toshiba-l645-1090...1-11-Sale-P.htm Sorry for the Lelong link but need your advice, my friend went to LYP today to check out for me, he said this model is quite OK... But 320GB.. Luckily I have a 500GB 2.5" portable HDD... Some are real funny haha~The Toshiba Satellite L645 are super glossy and super outdated, not really recommended... same goes to the new Satellite L745 which are still glossy, heavy, has short battery life, soft speakers... but they are reliable though This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: May 7 2011, 10:40 PM |
