QUOTE(PF T.J. @ May 10 2011, 08:20 AM) Not very familiar with MBP prices, but why not try Garage Sales, I think marcus20125 sells Macs as well Student price gets 300 bucks off  If you're okay with Mac OSX, you can never go wrong getting a Mac  Quite a difference for me |

QUOTE(egoeclipsed @ May 10 2011, 10:49 PM) I am interested in: I can say that price is nice, and yes it will suit your usageA43E, 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! 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 Linky here This post has been edited by Koki: May 10 2011, 11:25 PM |

QUOTE(egoeclipsed @ May 10 2011, 11:36 PM) 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... If you want to compare, ASUS and Lenovo both are more or less the sameThanks for your help Koki!  Of course the Lenovo gives you JBL speakers if I'm not mistaken |

QUOTE(heavyduty @ May 11 2011, 06:59 PM) not gonna play games on it at all actually.just entertainment like movies and such.handling docs and photoshop Then the Lenovo G470 i5 version would do great budget changed to max 3000.gonna use the extra mony to replace my phone 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 Some of the models : 13" » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I had time  QUOTE(pandera999 @ May 11 2011, 07:45 PM) product that reliable for long term.  I know they're gonna announce the during Computex as told by AMD themselves and also the press I think there's a lot of new Llano-based laptops gonna pop out that time AMD Singapore posted that a lot of Llanos were shipped |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ May 12 2011, 07:44 AM) Don't think there's anyone apart from you bro The fact that I'm not really sure if I'm gonna need it right away or not If you really need one, just get one that is currently available... or if you can find someone kind enough to borrow you their secondary laptop, that would be good as well Of course getting one now to prepare for college is good, but I'm afraid I might regret if Llano is MUCH more better than how AMD compared it to Intel's SB QUOTE(AlexLai @ May 12 2011, 12:24 PM) 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. Desperation magician! In the end, I picked up the last unit in LYP. I guess I'll give it some time till some news comes out for the Llano-based laptops QUOTE(PF T.J. @ May 12 2011, 07:27 PM) If work is more important -> ThinkPad Edge 11 I read/saw a lot of reviews stating that the dm1z got an annoying fan issue If game is more important -> HP DM1z |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ May 12 2011, 07:54 PM) @Koki, you're right about the noisiness of the Dm1z, which shouldn't be there on a subnotebook.... A similar spec for the dm1z will be the Thinkpad x120e @raymond-kyeow Reviews on both units: Edge 11- http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo...ok.40611.0.html » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Dm1z- http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-HP-Pav...ok.49230.0.html » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Based on the reviews, the ThinkPad Edge 11 is better Though it's ugly Check out the review This post has been edited by Koki: May 12 2011, 08:04 PM |

QUOTE(anti@ @ May 14 2011, 03:10 PM) erm. budget = rm2100 and below 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)size = 14" usage = daily usage. brand = tosibha or asus only. size the shop selling these 2 brand only. @.@ for girl usage. must have a graphic card. haha For media/web surfing and added Office work, then maybe ASUS K43U |
