As mentioned earlier, it won't be easy to find the A42Jp since its EOLed...
Spec wise (GPU) Asus is better, but quality-wise the L645 will be better... The L645 has better speakers as well nod.gif

4K BUDGET!

n53sn or sager np 8130?

pros and cons in comparing these two.


SAGER:
Performs better
Cheaper price per performance.

Hassle claiming warranty.
No retailer in malaysia.
Weak battery life.
Ugly

Asus N53SN.
Cheaper compared to sager.
Looks alot nicer
Nice speakers.
Retailers and distris in malaysia.

GT550M is weaker than GTX460 [ is it alot ? ]

thats my main concern...should i buy sager over asus cause it have good GPU?

really big difference?

You still have 4 months before purchase, come back later? laugh.gif
Choosing now won't affect your final decision anyway laugh.gif
Anyway, GTX460 is very powerful, you don't often find them that affordable...
You need to consider warranty support for Sager as well..

Vostros... screen is smaller.
Vostro V130 is with only internal graphics with is quite unusable for your usage...
Vostro 3300 has NVIDIA 310M which is quite okay...
I would go for Acer 4253 nod.gif Cheap 14 inch and a real graphic card integrated in the CPU and with better battery life too icon_idea.gif

in dilemma lerr.

choosing a i5 MacBook or a i7 Dell XPS / Asus N52sv lerr.

Price are about the same, right? Around rm3.5-4k. ><''

I see lots professional photographers using Macbook. Knew Macbook having better functions, performance and screen.

Felt like buying Mac also. But scared to venture to it, cause i got no knowledge bout Mac at all. and im not quite sure about h*cked / P*rated softwares availability or not ler.

Any advice?

Sorry so many questions..


Added on March 15, 2011, 3:00 pmWrong info, not HPG42-456TX, is HP G42-465TU

Not sure about warranty support, but you can extend the warranty for up to 3 years nod.gif
Iirc, there's a (2 years warranty extension) promotion for the Z460 at the moment... hmm.gif

Personally I'm not very impressed with the price, built and design of the recent HP G series... but that's just me laugh.gif

Acer 5750 specs/price was really good. Was tempted with 5750 spec/price when it launch... but after try it, don't like the touch & feel... so decide to wait for N53SN.

Why? 5750 is thin, and IMO better than ASUS offering and cheaper too. Don't be blinded by the things we don't own, instead enjoy the thing we have smile.gif

Hi

need suggestion and recommendations for a laptop.

brand - doesnt matter but prefer those that are reliable and less problem
budget - 2k
spec - aiseh not good in spec. but mainly for web browsing. no need cd/dvd rom. maybe minor photo editing like import/export, crop. not major ones. prefer fast boot/opening programs.
size - prefer 15in but open to suggestion as well.

thanks

edit - forgot. plus a reasonable hard disk capacity.

The new Inspiron 15R (i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@~RM2k) would be a good choice...
Do refer to Dell Malaysia for more details....
There's even one Inspiron 15 priced at RM1.3k only (source:http://www.dell.com/my/p/inspiron-15-intel-n5010/pd), probably typo I think LOL sweat.gif

Then perhaps it would be better to get something more powerful?
Dell XPS 15, Dell Studio XPS 16 are worth looking into... or perhaps Vaios?

I don't think the MacBook Pro 13 inch could handle with new Intel HD 3000 sweat.gif
I would suggest to take the 15 inch though, it's all powerful and the price is powerful too.
ASUS or Dell thumbup.gif
And there is hackintosh (if you would want to venture into it)
For the price of Macs, you're paying for the brand, the quality and the OS in a very expensive way sweat.gif

Oh, and there's bootcamp if you want to use Windows on a Mac to play games.
Recently removed support for Vista, only 7 for now

thanks. will check it out. lol.....

wohooo... ya lah. 1.3k.

any difference with the one you mentioned? pro and cons? between the 2 products you stated.
*
This one Inspiron 15R (i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@~RM2k) has better CPU and GPU nod.gif
Its newer technology, so its best to pick this 1 instead nod.gif
If you don't mind the specs, you can also go for the RM1.3k one (if it exists), and use the remaining money to extend the warranty

Yea, hikari85 selling N53SN already. RM3499 with freebies. RM3340 only free bag. Worth it? Or should I went down to lowyat plaza for a better deal?

Acer 5750 specs/price was really good.  Was tempted with 5750 spec/price when it launch... but after try it, don't like the touch & feel... so decide to wait for N53SN.

yea...seriously i dont like the keyboard at all...

QUOTE(Najmods @ Mar 15 2011, 03:34 PM)
Why? 5750 is thin, and IMO better than ASUS offering and cheaper too. Don't be blinded by the things we don't own, instead enjoy the thing we have smile.gif

erm.... yeah i buy it becos it is cheap and come with i7.... but now i was thinking "is it i need to use up i7?" LOL

Then perhaps it would be better to get something more powerful?
Dell XPS 15, Dell Studio XPS 16 are worth looking into... or perhaps Vaios?

I don't think the MacBook Pro 13 inch could handle with new Intel HD 3000 sweat.gif
I would suggest to take the 15 inch though, it's all powerful and the price is powerful too.
ASUS or Dell thumbup.gif
And there is hackintosh (if you would want to venture into it)
For the price of Macs, you're paying for the brand, the quality and the OS in a very expensive way  sweat.gif

Oh, and there's bootcamp if you want to use Windows on a Mac to play games.
Recently removed support for Vista, only 7 for now

I did look at the New XPS 15 also.

I customize to:
new i7 SB
8Gb Ram
Full HD 1980x1280 resolution
Backlit keyboard
9 cell batt.

then ended up around rm4.5k already. blink.gif

btw, just wanna check, if my lappie got Full HD display, means it shouldnt lag when i play 1080 recorded video right? Or the normal HD ones also can smoothly?

Hi, I'm currently looking for a laptop so that I can bring it with me to travel or just hanging out.

1. Brand: Preferably Dell or Asus or Toshiba or if you have any other brands to recommend then you can just tell me.

2. Budget: My budget is hopefully somewhere less than 2k.

3. Specs: Whats most important in my specs is Intel proc, at least 2GB ram, and 500GB HDD.

4. Size: Preferably 12-13" cause I want it to be lightweight if I were to bring it to travel.

Thanks in advance.

13 inch Toshiba Portege T230 (U5400 + Intel HD@~RM1.8k) seems to fit the description... Its light and offers decent battery life nod.gif
Or if you prefer more processing power and less battery life and higher weight, then can consider Dell Inspirons 13R...

Asus 1215b would be good as well for daily computing but it runs on AMD nod.gif

I doubt the U41Jf can hit the 10 hours battery mark haha laugh.gif
Anyway, other alternatives include Asus U36Jc (i5-480M + G310M@RM3k; 13 inch, 1.7kg), Acer 3820TG/4820TG (i5-480M + ATI 6550@RM2.2k-2.4k), Lenovo V470 (i7-2630QM + Intel HD graphics 3000@RM2699)... its either more processing power, or longer battery lives... Do take note that these laptop won't last 10 hours as well since they're 13/14 inchers...

i have a shell shocker for you dell launched new inspiron 14r
at rm 2349 online price you can get a i5 2410m+ radeon 6630m (480sps+gddr3)

now gt 540m/gt 550m they are on par or have the same caliber of radeon 5650/5730/6550/6570 gddr3

so graphic wise 6630 will beat gt 550m or will be equal to it so xps 15 have weaker gc than inspiron 14r btw 6630m is heavily downclocked @485 mhz you guys can easily oc to 600mhz~650 mhz.

also i want to some recommend about 13 inch light laptops within 2k with mid graphics like 6550 in it

only model i see is acer 3820tg with i3 380m+6550 is there any other brands? like this spec from asus/hp/dell/toshiba/msi/lenovo etc?

i really prefer a i5+6550 with a 13 inch.

Yup, there are new models from Dell:
14 inch Dell Inspiron 14R (i5-2410M+AMD HD 6630@~RM2.4k)
15 inch Dell Inspiron 15R (i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT525@RM2.7k)
and a lot of SB Latitude laptops laugh.gif
The AMD HD 6630 should be around the same level as ATI 6550? Need to wait for benchmarks...

13 inch with i5 + 6550? Acer 3820TG only as you've mentioned haha laugh.gif
Perhaps you should wait for the new Acer 3830? hmm.gif
Nothing comparable from other brands at the moment I think

Vostros... screen is smaller.
Vostro V130 is with only internal graphics with is quite unusable for your usage...
Vostro 3300 has NVIDIA 310M which is quite okay...
I would go for Acer 4253 nod.gif Cheap 14 inch and a real graphic card integrated in the CPU and with better battery life too icon_idea.gif

The AMD's E-350 is above what Intel's latest Atom can offer, yet better graphics and longer battery life. Seriously, I would say it's more or less an i3 with a dedicated graphic card.

13 inch Toshiba Portege T230 (U5400 + Intel HD@~RM1.8k) seems to fit the description... Its light and offers decent battery life  nod.gif
Or if you prefer more processing power and less battery life and higher weight, then can consider Dell Inspirons 13R...

Asus 1215b would be good as well for daily computing but it runs on AMD  nod.gif

Thanks for the intro bro but it seems that Dell Inspiron 13R comes with 320GB HDD only. But thanks tho smile.gif

4820TG..
Since 15R's HD5650 is underclocked..

QUOTE(Riddhy @ Mar 15 2011, 06:43 PM)
i have a shell shocker for you dell launched new inspiron 14r
at rm 2349 online price you can get a i5 2410m+ radeon 6630m (480sps+gddr3)

now gt 540m/gt 550m they are on par or have the same caliber of radeon 5650/5730/6550/6570 gddr3

so graphic wise 6630 will beat gt 550m or will be equal to it so xps 15 have weaker gc than inspiron 14r btw 6630m is heavily downclocked @485 mhz you guys can easily oc to 600mhz~650 mhz.

also i want to some recommend about 13 inch light laptops within 2k with mid graphics like 6550 in it

only model i see is acer 3820tg with i3 380m+6550 is there any other brands? like this spec from asus/hp/dell/toshiba/msi/lenovo etc?

i really prefer a i5+6550 with a 13 inch.

3820TG still rules in its world for now...
The upcoming Sony SA/SB with SandyBridge + HD6630M..

QUOTE(giaogiao @ Mar 15 2011, 06:13 PM)
I did look at the New XPS 15 also.

I customize to:
new i7 SB
8Gb Ram
Full HD 1980x1280 resolution
Backlit keyboard
9 cell batt.

then ended up around rm4.5k already.  blink.gif

btw, just wanna check, if my lappie got Full HD display, means it shouldnt lag when i play 1080 recorded video right? Or the normal HD ones also can smoothly?
*
Got FullHD or not, don't have any meaning that it shouldn't lag, it depends on your spec and codec settings...

Toshiba Satellite A660? Should be Satellite A665 (i7-740QM+ GT330M@~RM3.2k)
Generally ATI 6550 (4820TG)> ATI5650 (Inspiron 15R)>GT330M (A665)..

Asus N53SV would be better for gaming and multimedia, whereas Inspiron 15R would be better in processing power and warranty (if covered)

Yea I know the specs laugh.gif
Gaming usually relies on GPU, apart from those RTS ones nod.gif
The GPU in the Inspiron 15R is relatively weaker (GT525M)... and I'm not sure whether they have Nvidia Optimus or not, can't find any details yet
Dell offers the best warranty support so you'll be fine if you have the warranty nod.gif

Wow, this latest review just answered your questions haha: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Intel-...ce.49600.0.html

It seems the CPU don't really have much affect on the gaming performances (with some exceptions, of course)... In other words, getting a better GPU would be better than getting a better CPU if you're into gaming nod.gif

Here's the Verdict quoted from notebookcheck:

The RM1.3k one?
I'm still shocked that its not a typo laugh.gif
Its really cheap... you won't get another 15 inch that cheap... especially good for those looking for a laptop with a big screen at a cheap price thumbup.gif
It won't have any problems playing HD movies and internet browsing... it'll do fine for normal everyday usage^^

Well, according to Hikari85's sales thread, there is, perhaps you should ask her directly for confirmation since sometimes even brochures can have information error nod.gif

Its good even though it doesn't have a subwoofer like those in the XPS 15 etc.
You should take note of the weight and size of a 15 incher though if you're a mobile user...
I bought one and regretted, end up selling it haha laugh.gif

i7 is best for multitasking and rendering heavy duty stuff. Movies, audio and video encoders are really processor rapists
Not sure about games, but i5 has multiple cores also. Why need to go so far?

GT540M is way better than GT525M nod.gif
From the way I see it, unless you get the warranty, there's no real point in getting the Inspiron 15R (I'm assuming you're into gaming rather than graphics rendering) hehe laugh.gif

Edit: Thanks for the heads-up, the guy seemed to be having problems with the screen... Unlucky perhaps? I din't see any of these on the display model.. hmm.gif

A few months ago the Inspiron 15R with ATI5650 was selling like hot cakes thumbup.gif
Perhaps you can PM those users and ask for comments? Or simply visit the dedicated thread~
If you're using the laptop for gaming, SB i7 and i5 won't make a difference since its the performance relies more on GPU...

Personally would go for ASUS N-series laugh.gif Price-to-performance ratio is my problem.

hi , i would to have some recommendations by sifus here on what should i get .

usage : surf net , watchin HD and some document processing .
budget : the lower the better XD , 2.5k tops
wat i prefer : intel SB , 15.6" , usb 3.0 , lesser power consumption

gonna use this lappie as a substitute to my desktop , meaning no need lightweight ,good battery etc , not goin carry around much .

Questions
1)do i need a dedicated GPU for such usage ? or just intel hd 3000 is fine.
2)whether i should get i3 or i5 .
3)any newer models that will be released soon tat suit my requirements?

I have a few models in my mind , the SBs of dell i3 , i5 and acer i5 . open for suggestions .

These are the considerations i can think of now =)
thanks sifu !

The Asus would have worse battery consumption as the Acer got nVidia Optimus...
If P6200 is too old, i3 is also too old...

P6200 is based on Arrandale, I told you before, its the same as Core i3 without Turboboost and Hyperthreading. Everything else is the same. Stop being an ignorant

Hi guys/gals,

I have two choices of destop replacement for work and leisure that I am looking at the moment. Appreciate any input on which way to go.

Asus N73SV-A1 with i7-2630QM, 6GB DDR3 RAM, 2 X 320GB HDD Raid 0 or 1,17.3HD+ (1600 X900) display,BluRay DVD Combo, USB2 and 3, GT540M GPU and etc at about 4150MYR landed ( 2 years warranty) OR

MSI FX700 17.3" display, with i5-480M, 6GB DDR3 RAM, single 640GB HDD, 17.3HD+ (1600X900) Display, GT425 GPU, BluRay Combo, USB2 and 3 and etc at 3150MYR landed (1 year Global warranty). The finishing looks goods, textured.

Understand that the i7 CPU generates quite alot of heat, the Sandy bridge CPU will be about the same heat and the recent new CPU SATA degradation raised some concerns if any other issues will crops later.

I have a dual core desktop about 5 years old DELL Dimension 9150 that overheats and also had a HDD failure 2 years back, a 6 years old Dell Inspiron 9300 17" display that is already sluggish and needs a laptop cooler to make it happy, and a recent Lenovo netbook s10-3.

Primary question, is the sandy bridge truly tested to be reliable over time??

the n73 spec wise seems pretty cool but its certainly much more pricey and if you're going for the msi i think the asus n53sv sounds like a better bargain though you'll lose the 17 inch screen for a 15 incher..... icon_rolleyes.gif

The N53SV is still more expensive than the FX700 by abour MYR600.

Plus the N53SV is without bluray and comes with a lower resolution screen 1366 X768. The HDMI port is there to connect to HD TV to play HD movie (but no Bluray ??)

There are apps that can run office such as words,ppts,excel, but with limited capability to edit it.
Bout the image editor, u might find some apps, but still, (in my opinion)not much u can edit. it depends on the apps itself.

These are the more popular ones:

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. sad.gif

RM2.3k can get you SB i5 already nod.gif
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 laugh.gif

Pretty much that, for models with Quad core, since Acer 5750G is out,
Lenovo Y560p is RM2999 and other Asus within budget is dual core..

IM BACK TO the Recommendation thread..

Cause I need Advice sad.gif

Ordered the Sager NP5160 (FHD panel ) But i am having second thoughts.
EDIT : It comes with a GT540M with 1GB of GDDR3 Memory which i Think is insufficient for the full HD Panel

Can you guys recommend me a 15 Inch Laptop
With a Full HD panel, SB i7, and a the BEST GPU with Optimus/ The old Hybrid Power saving technology.

Need at least 3 Hours of Light Websurfing and Word Processing.

Price Does not matter. Even its from the US its fine.

Thanks

Go run HD on youtube, make sure it's changed to GT540M, and check 'dxdiag' again.

And HD Graphics IS Intel HD3000..

Here are the available options (not including 13 inchers) tongue.gif :

Perhaps you should take 13 inchers into consideration (but not much within RM2k) since I think they are the most optimized in terms of power/performance? But its up to you in the end la hehe

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 nod.gif

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. nod.gif

It has better build, speaker, GPU, but no USB 3.0 if that's important for you and its only i5 2410M.

The Best wan should be the new HP dv6 IMO la.
Reresh HP DV6-6001TX, i7 2630QM + 4Gb RAM + ATi HD6770M, 1Gb GDDR5@RM3999. Dunno whether arrive or not but this laptop got great speakers from Beats audio

Next is of course the Asus N53SN-SX043V -Aluminium Silver, i7 2630QM + nVidia GT550,2GB GDDR3, 4GB@RM3499. Many forumer said speakers from Bang & Olufsen ok ok only la but what do you expect from a 3.5k budget gaming laptop. Nice design btw but the keyboard.....

Lastly the
Dell XPS 15 MLK, i7-2630M + nVidia GT540M@RM3699. It has the greatest spekars, backlit keyboard, ugliest design ever and the screen can open up to 100-110 degrees. Mostly other laptop can open till 120-130 degrees

Theres is one more though. MSI GE620, i7-2620QM, GT540M 2GB GDDR5 with 4ch Speakers, Premium Sound by THX TruStudio Pro. Just release this month but dunno when coming to Malaysia. The price should be around RM3299 as seen from somewhere.....price might change i think. Btw it has really nice looking keyboard and design

Preferred size? I think this will do just fine laugh.gif 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~

np8130 for gamers within 4k budget just gaming only and good lcd screen with gtx 460m

hpdv6 for a bit gaming and style /looks

n53sn for multimedia/show off etc and mild gaming

for gaming gt 550m durability will only last this year it might not even last this because try running homefront/bulletstorm upcoming crysis2 fear 3 if it doesnt run smoothly at very high settings at 1366x768 then gt 550m fails.

about np8130 gtx 460m can run all games at 1920x1080p with max details only crysis and metro 2033 runs at high with 1600x900 according to tests and reviews if you want gaming for the upcoming games you can easily play at 1600x900 max detail if cant at 1080p using gtx 460m

Actually i think it might last for another 3 years or maybe more. Of course you can't really play at the higest settings. Some games are meant for the future like Crysis and metro 2033. If you wan play bulletstrom smoothly, off the blur. I can play it smoothly with highest settings with the HD6570M but got some area lag abit la.

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...

Don't think you can get 1440x900 or higher resolution for your budget...
Perhaps you can look at 2nd hand Dell Studios? Or Sony Vaios hmm.gif

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? notworthy.gif

Yup, the speakers are good laugh.gif Should be better than those of the VX6
But 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 laugh.gif

Not sure about question 2...

As for Q1, the battery will be affected tremendously by heat, so its best to remove the battery during gaming... nod.gif
Once it reaches 100%, the electricity will be diverted from the battery iinm..

check ur power options , usually by default if ur on battery it will be on "saving mode" which will cripple full performance to save battery

using direct power usually set to" performance mode" where it will run on full capability of ur lappy

same question...
is it ok tu remove the battery while the charger is plug in????
i used to do dat XD

for question 2 djronzai
it normal when ur play game using battery, it will lag..
but if u plug in the charger, it will use max GPU power...
if u want to maximize the GPU while using battery only, i think u should configure in power porformance, i mean the one u can setting the performance to save the battery...change it to full performance

Whats the best SB laptop with a 15 INCH Full HD, with Optimus/ Switchable Graphics technology?

I dont care if its ATI or Nvidia.

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

Given with the new optimus tech, your laptop will last longer if you're idling even on performance mode (but considerably shorter compared to balanced mode/power saving mode).

Hi guys..I need some recommendations on a laptop..mostly for surfing, work, light gaming. Also looking for a sandy bridge. Budget around 2k-2.5k..any ideas?
*
15'' can look at Asus A53Sv, Dell Inspiron 15R.
14'' can look at Dell Inspiron 14R, Acer 4820TG,
13'' can look at Acer 3820TG.

QUOTE(ss1st @ Mar 20 2011, 08:10 PM)
Need recommendation:

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 smile.gif

Most likely need to look for refurb Dell Latitude E6400/E6410...

XPS 15 or Sager NP5160. GT540/GT550M pretty much the limit for Optimus notebook for now...
Unless you go with 17'' AlienWare M17x R3 with the ATi HD6870M, it got switchable GPU, not sure the HD6970M version got switchable or not...

Normally i use my laptop to do assignment with A LOT of website opening, a lot of folders and ms slides/words opening, and normally i will use to edit and store large format photo. I need a lap top that can smoothly multitask and edit photo without lag. Do you guys think dell XPS15 can do that?

xps confirm can do that. if you need a lot of website openings, why not just get a desktop with a 27" lcd/led?

or hook your laptop up? then u can view so many simutaneously.

alternatively, browsers have TABS.

2. What spec ?
If for gaming, the 1. won't keep up in FHD...

Hi lee_what2004,

what do you mean "won't keep up in FHD"?

Well, of course I will use it for some gaming, but I am not some hardcore game fan, so gaming is not my first priority, the FHD is more for my multimedia editing.

The 2nd generation i7 in the N53SN would be better for Autocad, whereas the GPU in the G53 (I'm assuming its the older model) will be better for gaming.. nod.gif
And do take note of the weight of the monstrous G53 laugh.gif

Some review claims that the keyboard feel is okay, some don't... so I guess it all boils down to users' preferences...
The keyboard flexes, but that doesn't mean it sucks laugh.gif
Personally I like the typing feel of the N43 keyboard, which should be the same as that of N53 apart from the size...
Lousy HDD?
Yeap, better resolution will be more convenient for autocad, afaik doh.gif
LOL, I think perhaps you should try it out yourself? Just get a normal 15 incher (most of them will have 1366x768), then see whether you're okay with the resolution or not laugh.gif

Well cause i cant get to see the N53SN cos must order? It has a slower hdd compared to the one in in G53JW. And will g53 be bttr for autocad due to it cooling system, faster hdd, more ram, bttr GPU,bttr resolution?

Well, it seems abit unfair to compare the N53SN with the G53 laugh.gif
Anyway, the i7-2630QM is approx. 50% faster than the old i7-740QM iinm... so its up to you on whether you want more processing power, or more gaming power laugh.gif
Anyway, even though the G53 has a better cooling system, the better GPU will probably generate more heat than that of the GT550M? So the heat will still be high (during gaming)?

Been observing Dell Latitude E6400/E6410 for quite some times, but I have doubts:
1. I used 2 Dell laptops before, including the 1 I'm using now, overheating problem is very serious in my opinion,
2. Where can I find those refurbished Dell?

Sorry but I forgot to mention on the earlier post:
6. I like to open a LOT of folders/applications at once, so is 4GB RAM enough?

Have you seen both laptops in real life? Perhaps you should do that as it will help you make your decision easier nod.gif

nope, processing power still goes to g53.. it should be n53sn if ur tight on budget and g53 if u want a full fledged gaming machine.

the term "gaming" today is comprised of not only high powered gpu but also processors. my mom used to misinterpret the definition of "gaming".

1. I used 2 Dell laptops before, including the 1 I'm using now, overheating problem is very serious in my opinion,
2. Where can I find those refurbished Dell?

Sorry but I forgot to mention on the earlier post:
6. I like to open a LOT of folders/applications at once, so is 4GB RAM enough?

cheerio~

Garage Sales?
Depends on how is a LOT ? 4GB is enough for most user...

For the DELL XPS 15 MLK:

So means if I am playing games, I should lower the resolution for smooth game play?

And with other multimedia stuff, it should not have any problem with the GPU?

Yes or either lower setting in native resolutions.
As for other, no problem.

or fine tweak ur game settings..
turn off motion blur and AA, shadows and water to medium, physics perhaps high, objects to medium, and the rest to ultra high.

shadows,water,and objects consumes the highest amount of processing power in a gpu if u dont know.

I have RM 6k budget and I'm thinking of buying a laptop for college.
Not heavily inclined into gaming, but I edge more on video editing and graphics.

Planning to get a MacbookPro 15" with i7 2.2 Ghz - RM 6199 (Student Price)

Any other laptops you can recommend?

I don't mean to troll, but really, if your going to spend that much money on a laptop your clearly only getting it for how it looks. In that case, no recommendation available, just go for whatever looks good to you.

So far there's not much options for fullHD 15 inchers with the new SB i7 & decent GPU apart from the Dell XPS15?
Others exceed your budget or are not available here, unfortunately hmm.gif

Try customizing the new Dell XPS 15 with FullHD and 9-cell battery nod.gif
With your budget you could even purchase the 3 years warranty.... with remaining money to get some good accessories for your new lappy thumbup.gif

Here are some of the options (13 inch):
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Do take note that there's really a limited choice of 13 inchers with the new SB processors... Still you can consider the ones Underlined. They're not as good as 14 inchers, but they're decent..

For 14 inchers:

Again, underlined ones are worth considering...^^

Do take note that the Dell XPS 14 is really old-tech laugh.gif The new replacement is rumored to be coming out real soon
The U36Jc/U41Jf are of a different class compared to the Dell XPS 14... The U36Jc (1.7kg)/U41Jf (2kg) offers good portability, performance and battery lives (both hold 8-cell batteries)... whereas the XPS 14 is more towards power and entertainment...
You should try and test the Asus machines, they're less solid to save weight...
