QUOTE(christcwl9 @ Mar 17 2011, 10:14 AM) Asus N53SV comfirm no USB3.0 ?? Depends on whether you need to transfer large files alot? If so , Dell Inspiron 15R got 2 ports of USB 3.0 will it be a good buy too ?  If you don't, then there's no real use?  |

QUOTE(zodius @ Mar 17 2011, 11:16 AM) Hi guys, my sis asking me to survey for a laptop for her as she want to use it soon. her budget is around RM2k can slightly up to RM2.3k. her main usage is for surf net, and do some office work. can suggest me some models as i have too long time not update myself with laptop price anymore... >.< I guess looks are more important than specs for girls hehe:11.6" Sony Vaio Y (E350 + AMD HD6310@RM1.7k) 14" Sony Vaio E, i3-380M + Intel HD@RM2299 |

QUOTE(zodius @ Mar 17 2011, 11:34 AM) yeah, looks definitely is more important for girls~ RM2.3k can get you SB i5 already  but its kind of hard for me cuz i prefer spec rather than look, price with RM2.3k can get her a i5 already if i m not wrong.   But since its not your laptop, I guess no real need to persuade her to get higher specs since it'll probably be overkill for her anyway haha Added on March 17, 2011, 4:22 pm QUOTE(christcwl9 @ Mar 17 2011, 04:20 PM) Asus N53SV supports Nvidia Optimus ??

QUOTE(ashingburning @ Mar 18 2011, 10:38 PM) slightly different in term of design and speaker... Build quality and craftsmanship of the N series are better as well...but i think i should go for a series, since A53sv also have a good design, and speaker not a poblem with me... any1 have a picture this A53Sv??? is it same as K53SV from other country?? or same design with old A series??? Yup, other countries its called "K" instead of "A" series |

QUOTE(redx @ Mar 19 2011, 09:44 PM) Super sure?are u one of the latest amd user? Always got a job which I need to use lappie around two hour or more Below are some reviews on laptops running on:AMD C-50 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Toshib...ok.46551.0.html AMD E-350 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Acer-A...ok.49617.0.html http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/sony-vaio-yb.aspx This will give you a rough picture on the heat produce, but do take note that whether its hot or not relies on the cooling system of the laptop too. Anyway heat issue is never mentioned in the reviews Added on March 19, 2011, 11:14 pm QUOTE(ballsofsteel @ Mar 19 2011, 10:56 PM) Asus Eee PC 1215B, Not available yet I think, but you can PM marcus20125 or hikari85 for more details whos selling this i am inteerested?

QUOTE(wacomfreak @ Mar 19 2011, 11:15 PM) Okay guys, I've bought the Asus N53SN from Hikari85. I decided to get the i7 one since I think it's a better investment for a long term use. So far I'm loving it, very solid built and nice looking as well. Grats on your purchase I'm sure it'll serve you well~ For further sharing and discussion on your lappy, do refer here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1643148 There's a lot of useful info and tips in there |

QUOTE(utar_boy @ Mar 20 2011, 10:16 AM) hi my mom wants a new laptop and she wants it today, like seriously Preferred size? I think this will do just fine  she say her budget is less than 2k, and she just wants a laptop to use it downstairs infront of the tv. budget : < 2k using for light surfing, light power point/words, light facebook, and some banking. what brand and model is the best thanks!! But you need to purchase from Dell.Dell (Specs customizable) Inspiron 15, T4500 + Intel GMA x4500@RM1299 Just make sure you extend the warranty and you'll be fine~ |

QUOTE(ss1st @ Mar 20 2011, 08:10 PM) Need recommendation: Don't think you can get 1440x900 or higher resolution for your budget...1. Brand = any 2. Budget = 2k or below 3. Specs = i5, 4GB RAM, dedicated GC 4. Size = 14" with minimum 1440x900 resolution 5. mainly for web surfing, Excel (hence the need of higher screen resolution), occasionally Photoshop, no 3D games, movies... Thanks in advance  Perhaps you can look at 2nd hand Dell Studios? Or Sony Vaios |

QUOTE(ss1st @ Mar 20 2011, 08:28 PM) So how much deeper do I need to dig into my pocket? 2.5k? High resolution screens for 13/14 inchers are kind of rare and very expensive...As far as I know, this are some of the models: Sony Vaio CW, i5-520M + Nvidia GT330M + (1600 x 900)@RM3999, Colors: Red/Black/White/Pink Sony Vaio CW, i5-520M + Nvidia GT330M + (1600 x 900) + Bluray@RM4999 Edit: There's 2 Dell Latitude with customizable resolution i.e. Dell Latitude E5420 (~RM3.5k) & 6420 (~RM5k).. You can check them out at Dell's website. Or perhaps some other sifus can point out some just in case I miss them out?  This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Mar 20 2011, 08:52 PM |

Yup, the speakers are good
Should be better than those of the VX6But you should wait for the AMD Fusion powered NB550D instead, the NB520 is just not powerful enough.... And the positioning of the speakers is rather awkward, as pointed out by lee_what sifu |

QUOTE(djronzai @ Mar 20 2011, 09:56 PM) guys ,is me again , erm i have few question to ask u pros Not sure about question 2...1. is it good if our battery alrdy 100% and we still dont unplug the charger and keep charging? will it damage to our adapter or any other parts? 2.why i play cod black ops i face some lag but while i attach to charge battery and i dont face any lag and smooth somemore?(i have put nvidia high performance graphic on the manage 3d setting there) thank you guys.. As for Q1, the battery will be affected tremendously by heat, so its best to remove the battery during gaming... Once it reaches 100%, the electricity will be diverted from the battery iinm.. |

I need at least 3 hours of WIFI ON / Word / Browsing usage. and Powerful gaming on the go.

lee_what sifu probably means that the GPU won't be powerful enough for you to play games in FullHD, lowering the resolution will do the job
