wow.....

Hi guys, need recommendation for a friend of mine. First off, the clause here is that she's living in Canada so it's going to have to be available there.

Brand: Any
Size: 15.6 inch or less. Preferably 14 inch.
Budget: Less than Canadian $500 (So about... RM1556) before tax
Uses/Specs: Basic use. Mostly for writing up reports and doing the usual like watching movies and listening to music. For her sake, preferably one that has good battery life, no heating problems and since she loves Skyping, a good webcam. Furthermore, something light so she can lug it around everywhere.

Just been repair

Currently ive shortlisted the dell inspiron N4110(RM2299) and the Dell inspiron N4050 (RM2099). Ive slighlty increased my budget to cater for an i5 processor but its already giving me a headache with acer now coming into consideration

Wow, its good to see that they've implemented llano in the Dv6 rather than the G6

Actually I did, i was considering the Vostro 3450 but somehow it seems to look more expensive with less stuff..no dedicated graphic card also..cant understand the difference in price..

Try not to judge a laptop based on the CPU and GPU only...
I've reviewed a Vostro 3450 recently, and its better than the Inspiron/Inspiron R series

is it very hard to get a good battery life laptop?
What about Asus UL and U series?
Sorry for asking so much >.<

battery life should not be problem for U series, it comes with 8 Cell 5600mAH

Yeah, she's there now and due to unforeseen circumstances, her old HP laptop died due to tea-based injuries. So she needs to buy a new one there and currently knows close to nothing about laptop purchasing.

Hmm, alright, I'll check it out, thanks.

Err... we only recommend laptops based on your budget?
Iirc, your budget is RM2k right?
U series is around RM2.8k, whereas UL series is no longer available here in Malaysia

Added on July 11, 2011, 1:47 pmMy vote goes to Asus as well because of the standard 2 years international warranty
Either
Asus A42Jz, P6200 + AMD HD6470@RM1599[2.2kg]
Asus K43U, AMD E-350 + AMD HD6310@RM1399[2.6kg], W7S, [6-cell 5200mAH]

will do
*Do take note that in other countries, they're A series = K series vice versa

Hi guys, I have a budget of around RM3000 +/- 200. I use it for browsing and occasional gaming (COD, HoN etc)

Currently I've narrowed it down to the Asus N53SV-SD557V and Acer 5750G (the one with 8GB RAM).

Asus in general seem to have better reviews on durability than Acer laptops. But among these 2, the only gripe I have about the Asus is the 4GB RAM.

Do I really need 8GB of RAM? My current desktop has 4GB and running only windows vista, seems fine. Should I buy a laptop with more RAM than that for use in the future?

And is there any option to customize and add more RAM and top-up the price to get more RAM for the Asus?

EDIT: Don't mind about size, as long as it is below 3kg haha

Considered HP Dv6 already?
Anyway, you can always upgrade the RAM yourself what, it won't void the warranty anyway
As for whether you need 8GB or not, depends on what you're using on the laptop... if only for gaming, then there's no real need for 8GB

if only hp dv6 is a 14 incher..... sobz....

eh.. upgrade ram. asus pun boleh right?
wun void warranty horh??

14" Dv6= Dv4
Any laptop also can one as long as the RAMs are accessible
Won't void warranty one

Hey, thanks for the prompt replies

As far as I know, can only buy Asus laptops straight from resellers right? How do I upgrade the RAM then?
After purchase, get some memory modules and upgrade it myself? Isn't there a warranty sticker sealing the openings?
