i don hve main laptop..this will be my one n only..for now la..he3..
later i think i build gaming rig,,myb next year after finish study..
my main purpose will be lots of office works,,music,,muvies,,light gaming (myb)

why??u hve something to suggest bro??

better get an 14" for study and portable as a first laptop, I suggest Lenovo G470, the i3 something, 1599?

if you mostly use on Old Town, and Starbucks moment, I think Acer AO522 is kind of good, after all it is 1149myr

/offtopic, hmm, Asus 1215B, not all comes with USB 3.0? wonders why E-350 SKU isn't here

Why dun get full size notebooks then? If this is ur main, you'll suffer the lack of performances when doing heavy work..

tired already using 14 inches..wanna smaller,,good specs n cheaper..
n eugene,,wat do u mean by doing hvy works??
the heaviest for me now myb multitask of 1 word,,1ppt,,1pdf,,3-4 tab chrome n downloading..music not too often as i hve ipod..

does anyone know if asus 1215b with e350 is here yet? someone said it would be arriving this week.

urgent kah? if not, wait till end of April? may be, by the time, 1215B e-350 release?

Edit: 1215B E-350, just a guess

By June, I think they might be i3 Sandy Bridge in 1299myr 14", had to wait Acer to do that.

This is what I hope la. I also thinking about 1215B.

if dat so,,i think the 1215B will drop price..1k myb..

may be, , may be CULV coming out at that time?

Yeah, they're coming soon
Its going to be really competitive soon

Since i only use for msn and surfing, think budget Rm1.5-1.8k.

If you want AMD:

Asus X42DE, AMD Phenom II N830 + ATI HD5470@RM1599, FreeDOS


Can also consider these for Intel based laptops:

Acer Aspire 4743ZG, P6200 + Nvidia GT520M@RM1749, 3 years local limited warranty
Asus A42E, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM1699, FreeDOS
Lenovo G470, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM1599, FreeDOS

Can safely say these ones can last you a while with your usage. If you want cheaper can get those using AMD Fusion APU.

Yea i know, so far never use Intel processor before, lol. Still got time for me to survey, cause my old lappy haven die yet.


If not i will go for Asus K43S but seem this model not available in Msia, saw at SG...

Actually, it's known as the A43SV here.

I see, just price check at garage sales, found that Msia price is slightly cheaper and also 2gb of gc while SG K43S only come with 1gb...

Another question, u not recommend to get AMD's laptop?

I won't say not recommended, but it's up to your usage and budget. Fusion based laptops is good value for money in the netbook sector while the Phenom II X3 on the X42DE is good for rendering work at a very economical price. But then, the Intel based laptops are generally better value for money.

Franky say budget no problem for me, just dont want to spend much on laptop. Last time i still got gaming, but recently very less already, that's why i think of get AMD laptop again. But if Intel processor can last longer, i dont mind spend more to give a try...

care to xplen to me CULV??

CULV= Consumer Ultra Low Voltage processor... basically downclocked processors aiming for longer battery lives
