not sure can ask hikari85 or marcus20125 for more info..

hi all

i don't know whether this is the right place to ask. if not, i'm sorry.

i've been using aspire 4710 since 2007 until now and it's working just fine. but i plan to buy a netbook as it will be easier to carry around (i'm going to start my part-time study in june and 4710 at 2.69 kg is heavy). however, some people suggested that i buy a new, lighter laptop instead.

so my question is:

1) which is better - buy a netbook for and continue using my current laptop or buy a new laptop?

i'm considering asus eec pc 1015B or acer one happy for netbook but have no idea for new laptop so i welcome any suggestion. my budget for a laptop will be around RM2000 - 2500.

thanks a lot

edit : i won't be using it for games just do normal stuff - office & study work, surfing the web.. things like that

Netbooks may be light, but they're really slow in comparison to your previous Acer... haha
Best option is to go for something in between in terms of performance/specs....
Anyway, you're studying locally or abroad?
budget? Usage? Preferred screen size?

Eee PC 1015B, AMD C-50 + AMD HD6250 + (1024x600)@RM999 very prtable..

can consider dell 13". new sb processor. lighter and approx 2kg, and better specs... do typing oso easy.. since not that small
Vostro 3350, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM2209[2.04kg]
Vostro 3350, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM2469[2.04kg], backlit keyboard

if not acer 13" TimelineX 3820TG, i3-380M + AMD HD6550[1.8kg]@RM2199..

yes, i'm considering netbook mainly because it's very portable.

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?

how lah???? First time want to try this method.

Guys, need help. My budget to buy a new laptop is rm4000+-

Using it for Photoshop, Autocad, 3D Rendering and Gaming

So far I've look onto XPS 15 and ASUS n53sv

Do guys have any comments or recommendations?



Both have similar specs

Intel® Core™ i7 2630QM
8GB RAM
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM

XPS 15 is better if you upgrade it to 1080p screen..

Thinking of upgrading as well, 1080p is just super awesome combined with it's sound system
