Thanks guess I should be waiting for more models to come then. Any idea on how long that might take?

After reading one page I was thinking of XPS 15 since I am mainly gonna use it for photochop/illustrator/whatevermediastuffforfuture and a little gaming perhaps

Any other alternatives than dell? One major complain I know about XPS is its side fan and weight

It won't be long, now worries there ~

no no, i mean i will wasted the hidden potential of i7 if i dont do some adjustment to the setting

thx, i used it mainly for movies, game(yea, might be mass effect 3), and 3d max rendering, so it should not be a waste, i think haha

if wan 3d max rendering ~ buy hp elite-book

u sure will suffer with the 3k + laptop

sadly, my budget only can extend max to RM3500

and with my current acer core 2 duo, 3d rendering is ok, but when comes to lighting and animation added, then it might get slow...alot...

lolx.. nope i din. =P.... it's a nice lappy.. ^^

now just struggling with my noobness why windows explorer has stopped responding... =P.... using google chrome now to see if firefox is the culprit..... but dang i rili love firefox lor.. haix......

hah u will. =P

go get high end games.... stretch ur rig's legs!!

i know , cos my sister as a interior designer, she use 3d max a lot~
i saw her use laptop + gt540 to render,..first ok..slow slow..slow..consequence

get the best in his budget lor. =P

ivan still got problem of window explorer a?

^

yup.... haix..... switched to chrome.. still happened... hmm... wonder what is causing....

i just reload lowyat page oli nia!!!!

hmm....

supposed the error is registered in event viewer what,

start menu search for event viewer, go to windows logs > application,
any hint there?

erm


hint ar..

erm..

got two type of error lor..


stakhash

and
ntdll.dll


explorer.exe...

for stakhash windows executive couldn’t identify the module we were in when the application crashed (it uses the instruction pointer to determine what code was executing). In this case, the kernel simply takes a hash of the stack

something like stack/interuption

In the OS when I try to get a faulting module name it is possible that there is no module laoded (sic) at that address. For example in this case the EIP was zero. So in those cases where a module is not loaded and it is not also in the unloaded module list, I take a stack hash of the stack so that we can identify this crash from other crashes where also the module is not known.


for ntdll.dl
here http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/ntdlldll.htm

explorer.exe prob, here
http://www.file.net/process/explorer.exe.html

Roughly around 3k and a mid range tech
Widescreen preferred but beggers cant be choosers so anything goes

HP Dv6 would be the best choice I would say~
Dv6-6001TX, i7-2630QM + AMD HD6770@RM3499 [2.63kg]; Beats headphones
Dv6-6114TX, i7-2630QM + AMD HD6770 + BluRay@RM3799 [Beats][2.63kg], [4GB RAM] Beats headphones, HP optical mouse, HP 500GB external HDD

Some forumer managed to get RM2.9k withouth the Beats headphones (usually its around RM3.1k)

Does ATI have any quirks or being clunky when it comes to cgi rendering?

Also hardware wise is it ok from HP? or dell?

1. Brand. - Good warranty and after sales service which one ah?
2. Budget. - RM2000 max
3. *Usage. - MS office, movies1080p? and Adobe CS5
4. Size. - light weight but not small screen cos old eyes liao.

Never done CGI before so can't really comment
Hardware-wise is the same regardless of manufacturers... but the cooling system will more or less affect the performance and durability of internals

Warranty-wise Dell would be the best provided you're covered... Its best that you extend warranty to 3 years for those without it

So whats your take on the XPS laptop? I don't mind stretching my budget since I am somewhat interested in it
If not I shall stick with Dv6
