12k!!!! Whooooots!
By the way, it looks chunkier than an M14x LOL

Anyone has the specs and retail price for the i3 (if there is one) and i7 variants of the HP Dv4?
Someone is selling very cheap for the i7 version in Garage Sales

You should be able to find all 3 models there. The Inspiron 14R would be a bit harder to find
Unfortunately I don't think anyone can tell you which shop sells at good prices, you'll have to ask/bargain around... and try to go for larger stores

Unfortunately, at this juncture, there is no best bang for the buck with good CPU and GC. Its either CPU or GC...
Unless if you raise your budget to around RM2.2-2.3k

Acer Aspire 4750, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM1999
Asus A43Sj, i3-2310M + Nvidia GT520M@RM1999
Dell Inspiron 14R, i3-2310M + Intel HD 3000@RM1949
HP Pavilion G4, i3-2310M + AMD HD6470@RM1999
Lenovo G470, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM1999
Toshiba Satellite L745-1049U, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM2099, 2 years warranty (1st year global)

So its down to whether you emphasize more on gaming, or working

Well, the Asus A43Sv does have 2 years international warranty
But it doesn't have Nvidia Optimus despite having a removable battery (unlike that of the Acer)...
So its really a tough choice, it depends on what you want in the end, and also personal preferences

Imho, always purchase warranty just in case of something happening in the future
As for return rates, its hard to say...
If you ask me, if you want a reliable lappy, get one that's the coolest (in temperature)

Pricelist updated, thank you very much bro
Looks like we have a 15" competitor now

Back!
Any new models I'd missed?

O Mai, such a silly mistake
Thanks for pointing out bro, pricelist updated

Oh I see... haihs... Asus what are you doing =.=

What the!

Acer Aspire 4750, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM1999
Asus A43Sj, i3-2310M + Nvidia GT520M@RM1999
Dell Inspiron 14R, i3-2310M + Intel HD 3000@RM1949
HP Pavilion G4, i3-2310M + AMD HD6470@RM1999
Lenovo G470, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM1999
Toshiba Satellite L745-1049U, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM2099, 2 years warranty (1st year global)

Which one to choose depends on your definition of "light gaming" hehe
Personally I would go for the Asus

Midvalley is not really an IT place haha
Same thing to other shopping complexes apart from Digital Mall/LYP/Imbi plaza etc.

Yeah, got the U2 in Digital Mall All IT Hypermart for RM60

One Utama is even worse haha
But the rich fellas there doesn't mind anyway... they prefer less people rather than less expensive

Screen size? 15"?>

The 5750G would be the best in terms of bang for buck...
Do take note that the Asus N53Sn and HP Dv6 are way better in terms of GPU power, both priced at RM3.2k, just to let you know hehe

Well, almost all models have issues, just that some people are less demanding and learn to live with it
Give any new laptop some time and you'll eventually notice problems with it... take the new M14x for example, very loud fan, shutting down randomly on battery, reduced screen refresh rate on battery etc.
Still, just because one model suffers from a certain defect, doesn't mean all will have the same problem
But if for certain cases (like my M500) where all models have the same problem, then its best to avoid that particular model

Pricelist updated, many thanks bro!
Wow, seems like a very good deal there eh
The GPU, even though old, is almost on par with GT540M...
CPU is abit outdated, but still acceptable

Asus pricelist updated based on May brochure
No 1215b with E350, no N43Sn
