QUOTE(pixser @ Mar 24 2011, 11:24 PM) sorry, typo...i5 2410M... The article mentioned that the difference in the SB CPU will only have very little effect on gaming performance... and there's no need to fork out additional money to get the SB i7 unless you really need it for something other than gaming   I guess they recommended i5-2410M because its in between i3 and i7? More balanced in terms of price and performance |

QUOTE(pixser @ Mar 25 2011, 02:22 PM) price also got a huge gap of difference For better design, cooling, speakers and 2 years international warranty? I'll say its worth it~  Rm600..is it really worth it? Added on March 25, 2011, 2:44 pm QUOTE(DjK @ Mar 25 2011, 01:48 PM) hi all, Not much 14 inch SB-powered laptops at the moment...I'm gonna get a budget of RM2.5k++ to get a laptop. my concern right now is the weight and specs of the laptop. currently i know that acer's been good(price and after-sales services) but asus and dell had been good too(reliability). the purpose of this laptop is for my sister and she's going into tertiary educations soon. So basically for now would want a minimum weight and speedy laptop with reliable after-sales services. she occasionally plays games(maplestory or might even go for better games as she's always wanted to play them but our home desktop was limited). I'm looking for a 14inch laptop with (hopefully) a i5 SB or if possible i7 SB units. I know that asus has a 15inch N53SN at RM2.6k++..but weight wise is not a good 1. also to my knowledge, i haven't came across any 14ich laptop with SB procs so please enlighten me with a few models so i can inspect them for myself. also, it would be great if you guys know any shop in lowyat plaza or seller in LYN market place that are reliable. so far my friend got an acer laptop from hikari and was pleased with the transaction and the laptop had no problems. Please and thx!!!!!^_^ The available ones are: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « For hassle-free (less troublesome, less waiting) maintenance/repairs, just get a Dell and extend to 3 years warranty  This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Mar 25 2011, 02:44 PM |

Try to get this one: 1. Brand - Any 2. Budget - below RM2000 3. Specs - looking for a laptop that can play game without laggy, no need high setting, can play online games, Steam Games like Team Fortress... 4. Size - any main purpose is for game only...working thing is number 2 Acer TimelineX 3820TG, i3-380M + AMD HD6550[1.8kg]@RM2199 The slightly higher price is worth the big jump in GPU power (compared to its rivals) This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Mar 26 2011, 04:35 PM |

QUOTE(Nur Amina @ Mar 26 2011, 06:03 PM) T.J can u suggest which great, i like Aspire 5750G but when i read asus N53Sv it say bang n olufsen make incredible 2 me hw ur opinion my frenz? Well, Acer's 5750G has a better processor... but if you're only into gaming it doesn't really bring much improvement to gaming performance.. Asus N53Sv, as you said, offers B&O speakers and 2 years international warranty... but it only runs on SB i5... Its really up to you, if you don't need the extra processing performance (for work, not game).. then might as well save the money? Don't even need to extend warranty with an Asus haha If you have more money to spare, go for Acer 5750G, extend the warranty and if you want better speakers, get external ones  |
