i7 still got dual core kah? i tot all is quad core edi sry im quite noob in these thgs

gt 2 ver.... i7 dual core and i7 quad core...

guys i'm facing a dilemma of whether to buy

1) laptop with 17inch screen or more

OR

2) 11 - 13 inch laptop with external monitor

i use my laptop mainly just to watch videos. but i do play games like dota, those low demanding games.

do u guys know any laptop with large screen but low spec? i checked out dell vostro 3750 but the resolution is only 1600 x 900. i'm looking for full HD. i'm worried that dell vostro can't play 1080p video.

whether or not a computer can play 1080p video is depend on the graphic card or the monitor resolution? can clarify for me? sorry i'm really a newbie at this.

the 17 inch alienware laptop cost a lot.

i dunno anyone who travel around with large external monitor. is it a dumb idea to do so? i mean can external monitor be carried around in a laptop bag?

dun flame me pls

How do you plan to put the external monitor in a laptop bag?
The Vostro is no weakling, its capable of doing all the things you said, with no sweat at all
If you're going for a 17" laptop, the Vostro is the cheapest around already

but the vostro can't play full HD video am i right???

and whether or not can play a full HD video is solely depend on the monitor and not the laptop???

+1, i don't think it is practical to carry around an external monitor around

and yes, vostro 3750 can play 1080p video.

and for the resolution, i think assuming the 1080p video is in 1920x1080, it will be fit into your screen reso 1600x900.
correct me if i'm wrong.

i used to have a monitor of 1280x1024 (not widescreen, lol) to play fullhd movie,
then got some budget to upgrade the monitor to fullhd one of 23", i would say the experience is quite different

i think it is also applicable to laptop, you can enjoy movies better on bigger screen

pardon me but are u sure about this?

about 2 years ago i downloaded a 720p video and i tried to play on my old computer + monitor and all i get is lagging video.

all i can say it is not depend solely on the computer specification

codec also plays a part, to have a latest, updated codec in your system is a good practice

i'm using k-lite codec by the way

thank you for ur comments

i dont mean to be rude but can anyone verify what he saying is true?

vostro 3750 only cost 2.7k compared to alienware which cost more than 7k. not to say that 2.7k is cheap but it's easier for me as a student to saved up that much.

brand: any
budget: 3k
spec: need good graphic card and processor to run some engineering software
size : any
weight: as light as possible..2kg?

Dear all,

Need you help in buying a laptop.

Price: RM2k & below

Brand; no specific

Specs: for web browsing, MS office use etc.......

Even a cheap sub-RM1.5k laptop (AMD E-350) can play FullHD videos
No worries there haha~
You can always try playing on some of your friends' laptops if you're still not convinced

14" Acer Aspire 4750, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM1999[2.3kg]

If want as cheap as possible, then:

Asus K43U, AMD E-350 + AMD HD6310@RM1299[2.6kg], W7S, [6-cell 5200mAH]
