Yes, there is, but most are FreeDOS... if you want those with OS, then perhaps a RM1.9k budget would be better hmm.gif

Not very familiar with MBP prices, but why not try Garage Sales, I think marcus20125 sells Macs as well nod.gif

Iirc, you're getting this for a girl right? hmm.gif
Macs would be the best choice (no questions asked) lol
RM300 off seemed promising~ But you still might wanna go and visit Garage Sales, I bet some are selling at even better prices hehe~
So which model you choosing? How much? (sorry, I is Apple-noob) sad.gif

Pavilion Dv4, i5-2410M + AMD HD6750@RM2899
Pavilion Dv4, i7-2620M + AMD HD6750@RM3599

Both satisfy the "at least Core i5" criterion, summore they are Sandy Bridge processors laugh.gif

You're going to have to browse through Lowyat plaza or Digital mall to find one. The probability of finding one is higher in LYP.
For Garage Sales, here are 2 threads selling the i7 Dv4:

Memory : 2GBB DDR3
Hard Drive Capacity : 500GB SATA HDD
Operating System : Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Warranty : 1 Year Warranty
Price : RM2299

Which one is better in terms of speed and graphics?
*
CPU: Acer > Toshiba
GPU: Toshiba > Acer.. (But do take note that the ATI 5650 in Toshs are downclocked)
With your budget, you might want to consider something else like the Dell Inspiron 14R/Asus A43Sv hmm.gif
Or top up to RM2.5k for even better alternatives nod.gif

Laptops of the Aspire series are budget line and are comparatively lower in terms of quality compared to TimelineX... but since the laptop is covered by 3 years warranty, then I would say its worth it nod.gif

If need to buy in a hurry, then there's only the Asus A43Sv i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M (1GB)@RM2399
If you ask me, I would recommend saving more money, to go for the better N43SL, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2599[Bang & Olufsen] instead nod.gif

I am interested in:

A43E, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM1699, FreeDOS

Hope sifu here can help me answer some questions. I am offered a price of RM 1580 is it the best buy for this price? Also, this laptop would be powerful enough for ms word, powerpoint, some videos and light photoshop-ing? Also, hows the expected battery life?

Finally, is this model with the black plastic or silver aluminium? Heard different people say different things.

Thanks!

I can say that price is nice, and yes it will suit your usage
It can last about 4 hours and more
Don't know about the colour but I think A series are only in black.

Also, if you're getting that model, have a look at the Lenovo G470 i3 version

Yup i saw that one too. I thought Asus might be a better buy because of reliability and build quality? Because I also looked at the acer 4750 i3 version at RM1470 but it looked really weak and cheap...

Asus N43Jm is EOL-ed and I doubt you'll be able to find remaining stocks...
You can buy the new and better Asus N43SL, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2599[Bang & Olufsen] though nod.gif
Bang & Olufsen = premium speakers, just like harman/kardon, JBL, Klipsch etc. nod.gif

Then the Lenovo G470 i5 version would do great laugh.gif
I'm not sure if the AMD E-350 would do great in Photoshop though, but I guess for multitasking and such, get those with at least i3 or i5 without dedicated graphics card would fulfil perfectly

Whether the 14 incher of 15 incher depends on whether you want portability or a larger screen laugh.gif
The B&O speakers would be great for entertainment, but the discrete GPU would be overkill laugh.gif

Asus A43Sv, Asus N43SL and Acer TimelineX 4830Tg nod.gif
The 4830Tg is lighter nod.gif
1. No significant differences, but need more benchmarks to confirm this.
2. Yes.

At first was thinking of getting an A42Jr, but it was EOLed and replaced with the A42JK which had a weaker GPU, so I waited. When I almost given up hope and decided to get the JK, the JV showed up but it was retailing for RM3.3k. So I waited a bit more for PC Fair and compared pricing from the other forumites and found out that they were throwing price for that model so decided to get it before stock habis. biggrin.gif

In the end, I picked up the last unit in LYP. laugh.gif

N43SL is better in a sense that it has B&O speakers which are better than normal, standard ones; and also the battery is not integrated. Build quality for both models are equal imho...
Asus N series laptops are premium and will have better features (speakers, USB3.0 etc.), better craftsmanship, built, cooling compared to A series. But do take note that the A series are not as bad as many think they are, they're very, very solid nowadays nod.gif

I don't recall seeing 2 (1gb/2gb) types Nvidia GT540M for the N43SL hmm.gif

Iinm, A43Sv and N43SL are approx. 2.4kg in weight; Acer 4830Tg is approx. 2.2kg.
*Do take note that A43Sv doesn't have Nvidia Optimus, so if battery life is important to you, you might want to omit the A43Sv nod.gif

Yeah, I did run across the Nvidia website too...
Well, you can always go to LYP/ DIgital Mall to check it out, or just wait for other ppl hmm.gif
Eh? I thought its supposed to come with 5200mah battery? According to the brochure, that is shocking.gif

Yes, heat seriously ruins the battery sad.gif

Hi guys. i need a little help here. my current laptop's screen has to be hold against the wall for it to not fall behind. the state is horrible. i dnt think fixing it would worth any of my money (or is it? can i actually find someone who can fix it?). please help me in recommending the best laptop according to the following. i can't believe my luck. lagi satu semester nak habis belajar kot (sigh). thanks in advance smile.gif

1. any brand accept Acer
2. not more than RM 1600 (i'm comparing with Dell's Inspiron 14 available at their online store)
3. Internet surfing, video viewing, gaming (i play the sims 3 ehehe)
4. 14 inch is okay with me but i wonder if i can have something of smaller than 14 inch (not as small as netbook) with that price?

Well, they tend to get the information wrong from time to time, don't worry bro~
I think the info on the Asus brochure is more accurate...
Or just ask owners for instant clarification nod.gif

Hi guys. i need a little help here. my current laptop's screen has to be hold against the wall for it to not fall behind. the state is horrible. i dnt thing fixing it would worth any of my money. please help me in recommending the best laptop according to the following. i can't believe my luck. lagi satu semester nak habis belajar kot (sigh). thanks in advance smile.gif

1. any brand accept Acer
2. not more than RM 1600 (i'm comparing with Dell's Inspiron 14 available at their online store)
3. Internet surfing, video viewing, gaming (i play the sims 3 ehehe)
4. 14 inch is okay with me but i wonder if i can have something of smaller than 14 inch (not as small as netbook) with that price?
*
RM1600 with OS? hmm.gif ALmost all at that price range is FreeDOS, unless you up the budget to ~RM1.8-1.9k
Or unless you won't mind AMD-E350 laugh.gif

Whether it lasts or not depends on how you take care of it...
And since N series probably has better cooling, theoretically it'll last longer hmm.gif

Asus N series laptops are premium and will have better features (speakers, USB3.0 etc.), better craftsmanship, built, cooling compared to A series. But do take note that the A series are not as bad as many think they are, they're very, very solid nowadays

How about heat controlling? cause at the bottom cover of dm1 i didn't see any hole for air to go thru, i read all the comments, they say is from keyboard, which means cooler is not workable towards dm1..

If you would recommend between this two which will you recommend?

At first was thinking of getting an A42Jr, but it was EOLed and replaced with the A42JK which had a weaker GPU, so I waited. When I almost given up hope and decided to get the JK, the JV showed up but it was retailing for RM3.3k. So I waited a bit more for PC Fair and compared pricing from the other forumites and found out that they were throwing price for that model so decided to get it before stock habis. biggrin.gif
In the end, I picked up the last unit in LYP. laugh.gif

If N43SL has Nvidia Optimus, then it'll probably have better battery life...
We're not too sure whether it has it or not...
We're not too sure about the battery capacity as well due to the confusing details in brochures...
But I think A series has higher battery capacity, in which it'll offer more battery life
Updated: The N43SL says it probably have Nvidia Optimus since 2 GPUs are detected

Hi everyone.

I'm going to college for A-Levels on 6th June.

Here's some details of my requests for recommendation:

1. Brand - Anything reliable.

2. Budget - RM3000

3. Specs - Latest available specs within my budget, great battery life (hopefully more than 6 hours per charge)

4. Size - 14"

5. Use - Regular school work, internet surfing

6. Extra Notes - I'm considering Acer TimelineX 4830TG (poisoned from the thread lol). Is there any other better laptops?

7. EDIT-added Notes - Looks are extremely important. laugh.gif

Thanks!

So I'm between 4830TG, A41Sv and HP Pavilion DV4 then.

At this point I'm thinking that looks are the most important thing in my decision, since they are pretty much the same, yes?

Macs can last you a long time, but depending on how adaptive the users are and also user's demand
Macs nowadays have pretty much everything Windows have for your work and stuff icon_rolleyes.gif

Which one are you looking for in particular?
Mind stating your budget? Usage and preferred laptop size?
Maybe there are better alternatives out there nod.gif

I'm not being stereotypical but girl usages these days are quite demanding with heavy Flash-based games like Restaurant City (good example, even lags on me)
For media/web surfing and added Office work, then maybe ASUS K43U

Definitely this, its perfect:
A43Sj, i3-2310M + Nvidia GT520M@RM1999, Colors:Red/Blue/Pink/Green/Gold/Black
You get a variety of colors to choose from (but so far it seems only a few colors are available at the moment, need to find or wait).... the 2 years international warranty will come in handy, and it has a dedicated GPU + a Sandy Bridge processor thumbup.gif

A43Sj is better than K43U, both in terms of CPU and GPU, and it comes in pink as well (*assuming girls like pink) haha laugh.gif
The K43U is better if compared to Atom-based netbooks and Arrandale notebooks with Intel HD graphics only unfortunately sad.gif

She plays even more intensive games? If not then there's no real need for the dedicated GPU laugh.gif
The Toshiba you mentioned is quite outdated in terms of CPU and GPU.
The new one:
Toshiba Satellite L745-1049U, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM2099, 2 years warranty (1st year global)

But the Asus is still better with a better GPU, less glossiness, chiclet keyboard and better looks laugh.gif
Toshiba will probably have better speakers... laugh.gif

Vote still goes to Asus A43Sj, with the remaining money, you can upgrade to 4GB RAM, its just around RM60-70 per 2GB RAM only iinm laugh.gif

As bro JYong stated, but on the Apple part is depending on what field your assignments are
PowerPoint other Office-related stuff are with Google Docs, iWork and such
If it's for engineering field... I'm trying to find out too hmm.gif But there is BootCamp, just a little complex.
Also it'll take some time for a Windows user to migrate to Apple no matter how much you like it.

BTW, bro Bruceleestore is selling the MBP 13" i5 version for only RM3250 nod.gif

2.3GHz dual-core
Intel Core i5
4GB 1333MHz
320GB 5400-rpm1
Intel HD Graphics 3000
Built-in battery (7 hours)2
@RM3250
Asus A43Sv, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M(2GB)@RM2599, [6-cell 5200mAH]

You have to look at the way that you entered the exquisite OS X laugh.gif
A lot of patented stuff are only available on the OS X, like Expose, Spaces, GarageBand, iMovie, etc
Seriously might not be for everyone and takes some time to get used to the OS X.

Calculating problem~1024bytesx1024x1024=1GB/1,073,741,824bytes...for example, a HDD stated 80GB, the 80GB stand for 80,000,000,000bytes. But in computing, 80GB=80x1,073,741,824bytes=85,899,345,920bytes. So 85,899,345,920bytes-80,000,000,000bytes =5,899,345,920bytes. Window will show 80,000,000,000bytes-5,899,345,920bytes=74,100,654,080bytes..hope you understand=.="

Yupe, I understand
This calculation problem doesn't exist on Mac OS X
Also, I like how they prioritize the files copying/moving speed.

Here's some details of my requests for recommendation:

1. Brand - Anything reliable.

2. Budget - RM2650

3. Specs - Latest available specs within my budget, great battery life (hopefully more than 6 hours per charge)

4. Size - 14"

5. Use - semi-gaming and college work

Still depends on which OS you started off hmm.gif
Starting off with OS X will say that OS X is the easiest to use, and same goes to Windows users
Though migration of Windows to OS X is far more than migration of OS X to Windows (Which I think is zero)
The other day I downloaded Ubuntu and it was booming fast hmm.gif

GPU performance is not gauged by the amount of VRAM its has.
You can take a look here for for benchmarks/gaming benchmarks:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphi...List.844.0.html
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Game...ds.13849.0.html

You'll be able to see that the Nvidia G315M is really nothing to shout about laugh.gif
You might want to consider the one recommended by lee_what2004 sifu instead rclxms.gif

2nd generation processors are definitely better nod.gif Huge performance leap from its predecessor rclxms.gif
Whether SB i7 is needed or not depends on what you're doing with your "multiple tasks" laugh.gif
Anyway, budget, preferred laptop size?

Almost any notebook is capable of playing fullHD movies nowadays.
And no notebooks are future proof... whether its lasts (physically) or not depends on how you take care of it nod.gif

Since its for your girlfriend, you might want to consider Dell instead so that it won't be too troublesome when problems arise:

does notebook i3 sandy bridge on par with desktop Phenom II X4 955? i'm planning to switch from desktop to laptop but not willing to compromise too much on processing power as i use Excel quite intensely. graphic, Intel current integrated is good enough for me.

- eyeing those specification around 1500.
- warranty preferably 3 years.
- 3-4GB RAM.
- freeDOS is fine as well.

That's marketing strategy haha brows.gif
You can see similar strategies applied by other brands as well~
Just because the 15" is bigger doesn't mean its more worth it~
It depends on whether you want portability or a larger screen (and better cooling) laugh.gif

Thanks for your help

1. Brand = ANY
2. Budget = RM7k or less (max will go is a macbook pro 15" i7 but still thinking)
3. Specs. = i7 SB, as much RAM as possible (can self upgrade), great vid card
4. Size as portable as possible. but wouldnt mind 14/15 if it is really good.

5. Function = Most of the Adobe Creative Master Collection Cs5, Cinema 4d, sketch up

Thanks!

Whether the performance differences are big or not depends on what programs you use laugh.gif
Asus N43Jm is no more laugh.gif
Asus A43Sv and N43SL (need to top up at least RM100 for better quality and features) are pretty much the best for your price range nod.gif

Any large shop in Digital Mall/ LYP will do. Try to bargain and then buy from the shop offering the lowest price nod.gif
Which shop you buy from doesn't really matter since should any problem arise in the future, you'll be sending the laptop to the service center anyway nod.gif

Lenovo offers some of the best keyboards around, so it'll be nice since you're looking for something comfortable nod.gif
Current Acer Aspire series still sticked to the flat island style keyboard which is not as comfortable as the Lenovo...
Dell offers chiclet keyboards which are clattery and doesn't "feel" that good (of course, perception may differ from person to person). The glossiness of current Inspiron laptops would be a cons as well if you're typing a lot...
Din't typed alot on the Asus A series, so can't really comment... but the keyboard feel is not as good as Lenovo's

I guess its just down to Asus for 2 years warranty, Lenovo for typing experience laugh.gif

15 inchers in general are better, but the size and weight increase should be considered...
And summore there's not much 15" under RM2k...
The Inspiron 15R is very glossy and not really suitable for work imho hmm.gif Not to mention the specs are poorer as well sad.gif

U260 is expensive merely because of the 12.5" profile...
Runs on ULV, nothing spectacular apart from the keyboard and the design...
Even the battery life is a disappointment (apart from the 3k price tag) haha

There are 2 versions of N53Sv, but I think you're referring to the one with i5-2410M...
The only differences are the size, keypad availability (on the N53Sv), USB3.0 (on the N43SL iinm)...
So it depends on whether you want a larger screen size, or portability laugh.gif

These 2 would be the best in terms of gaming performance:
Asus (2 years free international warranty)
N53Sn, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT550M@RM3299 [Bang & Olufsen] (EOL-ed) [if you can find]

HP
DV6-6001TX, i7-2630QM + AMD HD6770@RM3699 [Beats], Beats headphones; RM3199 without Beats headphones

For Dell, the XPS 15 can be considered as well, but the GPU is no match for the ones above...

Arghhhhhh. So hard to choose which one to buy. If my uncle is tony fernandes, i would definitely buy both.  doh.gif

Do take note that weight is usually not a problem for us guys, its the size... being big and chunky, its very easy to accidentally knock the laptop and butthurt nod.gif

The N53Sv with USB3.0 and probably Full HD is a different model which costs RM3.2k...
The one you're referring to (RM2.5k) doesn't have those features iirc laugh.gif

Oh ya, since both laptops offer the same screen resolution (1366x768), I still prefer the 14" because of the DPI difference, images looks better..
But then its a personal preference laugh.gif

Just as powerful as an Atom based system in terms of processing power but the HD6250 beats Atom's IGP flat out. Battery life is still very good though.

Unfortunately for that price range there's no "all rounder"
Its either better CPU or better GPU...
Or you can have both but the laptop doesn't have OS.... sad.gif

need some recommendation as switching from desktop to notebooks...
sweat.gif
I'd narrow down to two choice cuz I prefer AMD (ATi)graphic for games...

- which have better LCD screen..?
- which have better sound quality..?
- which of this is more solid in terms casing build..?
- AMD HD6750/HD6630 capable to switch between i5-2410M like Nvidia Optimus tech..?

Inspiron 14R, i5-2410M + AMD HD6630@RM2349, Free 2nd year warranty
Pavilion Dv4, i5-2410M + AMD HD6750@RM2899

many thanks for reply

Performance-wise, Dv4 is better....
Iinm, there is GPU switching availability for the Inspiron 14R, not sure about the Dv4...
Can't comment on other aspects because I've never tried them before laugh.gif

Really? I'm out of date when it comes to knowledge of laptops. I'm all for better specs as long as it is within the budget. Preferably, I would want to it to run most of the current games in middle-high setting with decent fps smile.gif.

Err... if that's the budget range, then its not possible to get one which has a better GPU than the AMD 6570 sad.gif
The cheapest laptop with Nvidia GT540m is around RM2.3k

These 2 15 inchers are the best when it comes to specs  nod.gif
HP DV6-6001TX, i7-2630QM + AMD HD6770@RM3699 [Beats], Beats headphones; RM3199 without Beats headphones
Asus N53Sn, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT550M@RM3299 [Bang & Olufsen] (EOL-ed) [if still can find], 2 years international warranty

Is there a more lower-end version (with 14 inch) of it with price less than RM3000? Just in case my budget ends up being lower than I thought. laugh.gif

And any recommendation from ASUS?

For 14" gaming machines:
Lenovo Y470, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT550M@RM2999[JBL]
HP Pavilion Dv4, i5-2410M + AMD HD6750@RM2899

These are more powerful in terms of graphic performances...
There are a couple of other laptops from other brands with the relatively weaker Nvidia GT540m (at cheaper price, of course) nod.gif

2.3k x.x.. If I run games like L4D on low specs, which GPU would suffice?

oh and, I heard about AMD 350 1.6Hz being value for money. any thoughts?
