Hi guys,

I want to buy a new laptop for studies only. However I'm going to UK in 2 months time..I need a laptop that have international warrant and also can withstand all kinds of weather. Here are my details

1. Brand. anything

2. Budget. rm2.5 k

3. Specs. dunno

4. Size. anything

Any suggestion?

Regards

I'm going to UK also on June for my studies.

My friend working in Asus booth in PC fair quoted me:
Asus A43SV-VX053V
i5-2410M (2nd generation)
Win7 premium
Nvidia GT 540M 1gb (middle class graphic card)
500gb Hard Disk
4gb Ram (2gbx2)
Price = RM 2280 without free gifts

which i think is quite a bargain and best buy for this budget range considering it's 2yrs international warranty.

Anyway want to ask what does the other experts here feel bout this specs? I'm also surveying for a laptop for my UK studies

Thats quite a bargain you got there because RRP for that laptop is rm2399.. Rm119 discount there..

Yes Asus is the way to go because of the international warranty.. I am studying in London and my current laptop is Asus too =) but bear in mind the warranty claim here isn't as convenient as Malaysia..

Yea i know but considering a local warranty that does not entitle u to any claim at all in UK, at least having a 1% change of claiming warranty is still much better than none.

I just bought my A43SV-VX053V at RM 2280 today.
For the model you quoted above, the price is RM1900 without free gift. I suggest u take this because it's RM99 cheaper compared to the less than RM20 thumb drive free gift they giving

I bought from the 3rd floor, 2nd hall from the entry. Basically from the big big ASUS signboard with all the chicks lining up that one.

The cooler pad, cleansing kit that one all.. =.=" uh i'd rather get one laptop bag for all of those.

For purchase above RM2k you can also choose a Canon Inkjet Printer
Or you can opt without free gift for cheaper price if you think it's rubbish
I purchased mine at the ground floor. First entrance when you enter and you see a big big Asus sign

PS: The laptop bag is bundled, not a free gift. I opted for no free gift and they still gave me the laptop bag. However it's a lousy satchel bag, wouldn't recommend using it.
Btw I only got 1 recovery disc as opposed to the 6. Wonder why.. is it because i bought an A series?

Went to pc fair yesterday..
the salesgirl quoted me for 3.2k for Asus N53SV (the higher spec 1) - no gift whatsoever..

or you pay 3.4k can get those chapalang thingy + lucky draw (she said 100% will get the vacation package just dont know which 1)..

I think it's in the exhibition after the speakers hall..

hmmmm.... tempted..

what u guys think?
*
Do you have more specific details? Like what sort of specs or full model name?
I might be able to ask my fren for a cheaper price without free gift.
The main hall's laptop is more expensive coz the rent there more expensive

Should be Asus N53Sn (i7-2630QM + GT550M), its a very powerful laptop, best of its class (at this price range)
Abit skeptical on the Bolded part though
*
Well, was trying to get price list from my fren but apparently sales was so good today that the N53SN has been sold off totally.
I also heard from him that they don't plan to replenish the stock tomorrow.
So they only have N53SV left, which is priced at RM2599 (RM100 cheaper than RRP) with free gift or RM2500 w/o free gift.
The free gift is the Canon Inkjet Printer as mentioned earlier

Btw the lucky draw thing I skipped cause u had to wait till 8pm before they start the draw

bros, I'm going tmrw to PC fair.
Most probably getting the N53Sv.
But I saw someone said it was 3.2k ?
I thought it was around rm2599 ? o.o
confused now.
Or for that price(rm2599), is there any other models to suggest ?
maybe 15 inch, will use for gaming but not those aiming for high end specs.
thanks.

N53SN is RM 3299
-i7-2630QM
-Windows 7 Premium
-2GB Nvidia Geforce GT 550M
-4gb Ram
-640gb Hard Disk

N53SV is RM 2599
-i5-2410
-Windows 7 Premium
-1GB Nvidia Geforce GT 540M
-4gb Ram
-640gb Hard Disk

If u plan get N53SV without the free gift @ RM 2500 then can inform me so I can arrange for u
