QUOTE(mrkenn @ Jul 10 2011, 12:32 PM) Hi. I'm planning to buy my friend a laptop(with no issues of course), Brand i'd prefer asus or acer(maybe acer coz support better back in kuching?). My budget is up to rm 3,000. With the stuffs you doing on your laptop, you won't experience throttling issue haha Purpose of the laptop is for surfing, facebooking, watching movies! Not really into gaming. I wanted to choose acer 4830 but it has throttling issue. I don't want sony, lenovo or dell though!(maybe sony would be ok). Should i stay with the core i series or opt for intel sandbridge or amd llano? Battery life moderate enough dy! TQ. Hence, the 4830Tg would still be a great choice since it offers extended battery life compared to its counterparts  Asus N43Sl would be a good choice as well... "Buy when you need, wait if you can" |

QUOTE(next2fate @ Jul 10 2011, 04:27 PM) Still looking for "the one" for me: If want lightweight, then its Acer TimelineX 4830Tg... Others are relatively heavier 1. Brand - Any (beside Dell, Hp, Toshiba) 2. Budget - <2.5k 3. Specs - non gaming, college use, light weight 4. Size - 14" If can, tell me why do you suggest these models~  Reasons? Good looks, light, and long battery lives Added on July 10, 2011, 6:02 pm QUOTE(mrkenn @ Jul 10 2011, 05:59 PM) Hmm but i still want one without any issues. Who knows if he game to the max one day. What about sony? worth paying over 3k? Is it just for the brand? Sony laptops are not really meant for gaming Maybe i should wait for acer to release another new laptop This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Jul 10 2011, 06:02 PM |

QUOTE(aku88 @ Jul 10 2011, 06:31 PM) Anyone has any idea if Asus will be announcing any new line laptops soon? Because if not i'm planning on getting the U41SV soon. Also, not sure where else to post this but does anyone has any quick tips on proper care for laptop batteries? The latest Asus laptop lineups has just been added into the pricelist Though, if you're interested in the U series, do take note there are new ones coming up, you might want to wait for those To take care of laptop batteries, just try to reduce exposing them to heat |

First off, the clause here is that she's living in Canada so it's going to have to be available there. She's buying the laptop 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.

QUOTE(aztechx @ Jul 11 2011, 12:25 PM) 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 |

QUOTE(next2fate @ Jul 11 2011, 12:45 PM) is it very hard to get a good battery life laptop? Err... we only recommend laptops based on your budget? What about Asus UL and U series? Sorry for asking so much >.<  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 pm QUOTE(aku88 @ Jul 11 2011, 01:42 PM) 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. My vote goes to Asus as well because of the standard 2 years international warranty Hmm, alright, I'll check it out, thanks. 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 This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Jul 11 2011, 01:47 PM |

QUOTE(keyzjh @ Jul 11 2011, 03:22 PM) Hi guys, I have a budget of around RM3000 +/- 200. I use it for browsing and occasional gaming (COD, HoN etc) Considered HP Dv6 already? 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 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 |

Its stated in the price catalog But then not everyone offers the laptop that doesn't come with Beats, so do take note of that |

Yeah, this is the place to ask Can consider this: Asus Eee PC 1015B, AMD C-50 + AMD HD6250 + (1024x600)@RM899 [1.3kg], Colors: Black/White/Red Toshiba NB520, Atom N550 + Intel GMA3150 + (1024 x600)@RM1349 [1.32kg] [Harman/kardon], Colors: Brown/Turqoise/Orange/Green/Blue Toshiba NB520, Atom N570 + Intel GMA3150@RM1399[1.32kg] [Harman/kardon], Colors: Brown/Turqoise/Orange/Green/Blue *Not very sure but there's a forumer saying that the Toshiba can get with RM1k (not sure whether its the harman/kardon-powered one), so you might want to check it out~ The speakers are plain awesome |

QUOTE(aztechx @ Jul 11 2011, 07:45 PM) Haha..what else do i need to consider? thought those were the main stuffs.. Vostros are comparatively more expensive than competing Inspiron units... but then its more user friendly with matte surfaces, matte screen etc. Inspirons are rather glossy, not very nice if you don't like fingerprints and smudges on your laptop Read some reviews but no direct comparison..was wondering what does the vostro has that the inspiron doesnt..i dont mind getting the vostro though Certain Vostro units have backlid keyboard as well~ Saw some guy selling full spec-ed Vostro 3450 (3 years warranty) in Garage Sales at very cheap prices the last time I checked hehe~ |
