Senior Member 3,142 posts Joined: Apr 2008	QUOTE(lila @ May 20 2011, 11:08 PM) fuhh... i have a friend who said this old thing belongs in the museum local - in penang my budget for laptop is between RM2000 to 2500. for a netbook; around RM1000. If you're aiming for a netbook, might as well get a Toshiba NB550D If you want a larger one, then get something like the dm1z with E-350 processors For laptops... if no gaming then might as well get one with SB and only internal graphics Ealier in page like 15 IINM, bro PFTJ mentioned a few models (ThinkPad Edge 11) that uses AMD Fusion APUs Please do note that the HP dm1z has a noisy fan issue Also, any other choices like Lenovo's G470?

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,142 posts Joined: Apr 2008	QUOTE(lila @ May 22 2011, 12:41 AM) hi all thanks a lot for those who has given suggestions. for now, i think i'm going to get myself a netbook, and continue using my faithful aspire 4710 until it crash (though K43U and X42JY look tempting also.. huhu) but i think i'll be able to adjust to 10.1" screen. between asus eee PC and acer (happy & OD255), i think i like asus better. so i might settle for eee PC 1015B i went to a few shops today. unfortunately, it was not a pleasant trip. at one of the shop, the salesman tried to cheat me. he wanted to sell eee PC 1015B at RM1299. i played along and asked him to give me discount. he said, 'ok la kak, diskaun 100, saya bagi free gift lagi.' then i told him that asus, in their product guide clearly printed that the price is RM999. his reply? 'tu harga dealer kak' thank god i didn't fall into his trap or else i might be wasting my hard-earned money for nothing err.. who sells asus here? can i get cheaper than that? Wow, thank God you didn't fall into their trap! As far as I know, there's a lot selling ASUS laptops Try finding hikari85 or marcus20125 Also if you're getting a netbook, do note that Intel focuses on far power and less on graphic-related stuff. AMD on the other hand has a better graphical performance, but less power This post has been edited by Koki: May 22 2011, 02:45 AM

As suggested by Koki, try looking for Koki and marcus20125 in Garage Sales, you should be able to get cheaper than RM999 I'n not a dealer bro QUOTE(DWExia @ May 22 2011, 12:34 PM) Would anyone recommend the Asus N53SV ? For Starcraft 2. Minor gaming. i5, 4gb ddr3, 1gb GT540 gfx , 15.6 LED N53SV for the booms too

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,142 posts Joined: Apr 2008	Anyone actually knows the true secret behind PC Fairs? So far I went to the one in KLCC once and those in Ipoh a few times The fact that Ipoh ones are actually conning people (they sell legacy products with a more expensive price tag than the one and only "digital" mall" and gives you a lot of crap gifts. In KLCC, it's just so damn big that you can get a low price here, but when you do explore around a little more you get an even cheaper price! BTW @Lila, mind telling which shop did you went and that event happened? This post has been edited by Koki: May 22 2011, 01:37 PM

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,142 posts Joined: Apr 2008	QUOTE(PF T.J. @ May 22 2011, 01:41 PM) Based on what I've seen in this year's PC fair, Asus purposely increase all its products by RM100 (some say its because of the disaster at Japan, but I doubt that) so that they can "give more discounts" haha~ There's virtually no advantage of purchasing your laptop at PC Fairs... especially when theirs Garage Sales here haha~ But perhaps buying smaller accessories would be a good during PC Fairs since you can try them out.... The thing about PC Fairs is that all laptops from various brands are brought together into one place for everyone to try them out.... but since there's just too many people to actually be able to test the laptop you wanted, there's no real point liao I rather go to LYP/Digital mall or Garage Sales~ Unless you're talking about PC fair girls la, that's a different story Ini buaya pergi cuci mata But seriously though, I walked around the whole PC Fair at KLCC and I saw like at least 3 Acer booths

[quote=lila,May 22 2011, 08:54 PM] hi all yes, it was lucky indeed i decided to join lyn forum. i can't say i really know about the technical aspects of a note/netbook but at least i know i shouldn't be paying more for nothing. RM100 is a lot.. it can cover my petrol expenses for nearly 2 weeks i'll browse hikari and marcus' thread after this. hopefully i'll get a better deal @koki : it was in city plaza, alor setar. i don't know whether it's the shop's usual tactic or they just picked people who looks like an easy target to be conned - you know, the older kakak-abang or makcik-pakcik types (err.. i don't look that old ok.. ) but i went there and behaved like i know nothing [/quote] Lol you have your way At least not getting conned is all good. Save as much as you can Once I went in to buy my mom's phone just questioning the price and tell them directly that the price elsewhere is (insert lowest price in LYN) Somehow that guy gave me at that price.
