haha.. then ah.. hmm....


no one even touh the lappy uyet.... wait n see??? O. o

btw.. thr is a dedicated thread for the new N series.... go thr read . lolx..

thr are some issues...

The N45 according to LYN front page, only Core i5.
Acer Ethos series, when it comes, usually near RM5K..

and 5 hours in doing what?
With the Asus 56Wh battery, you would need to reduce the usage till -10mW which pretty much wifi with lowest brightness and no flash..

5 hours + performance, definitely the M14x
i5 processor + 8-cell battery will guarantee a relatively longer battery life~
But then you'd have to omit the "slim and light" criteria

Other than that, there's really no other alternatives at the moment apart from the ones mentioned by Ivan

Acer Ethos are near 5K?!!!
it is 1300 USD
how much tax Malaysia will get?

5 hours in surfing the net not gaming

Brand: Any
Budget: 2 to 2.5k, the lower the spending the better.
Usage: Everything - assignment, Photoshop, gaming, simulation.

I have seen the following model in Kuching:
Aspire 4755G-2414G64
Aspire 5750G-2414G64
Satellite L755-1009X

Can consider these:
Aspire 4755G, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M(2GB)@RM2299 , 3 years local limited warranty
Asus A43Sv, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M(1GB)@RM2349[2.44kg]
Dell Vostro 3450, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM2399, backlit keyboard

Spec wise, dv6 is much better, but Dell's backlit keyboard and Full HD screen is very tempting. Both have Blu-ray ROM but it seems useless to me if I don't have an 1080p display..

My usage will be mainly movies and music, assignments, and light gaming. One question though..how does Dell's JBL speakers compare to HP's beats audio? Is it a lot different? Audio quality is very important to me...

I will go with the 4755G then. Thank you.

ya dell has subwoofer which will produce amazing bass hp has no subwoofer so no bass ..beats audio is good when you wanna listen through using your headphones ..also i heard touchpad of hp is less smooth than dell ..go for dell if you can spend more than 3k.

Hi everyone,i need your advice here...im going to buy a new laptop...my budget is around 2k,nt specific in any brand,normal usage...i appreciate everything u suggest...thanx...

Guys, is Asus A43SV a good buy?

Hi guys,

I'm amazed that there are so many Good Samaritans willing to help! Would be grateful for help with looking for a laptop with the following specs.
1. Brand: No preference in particular, sexy will do XD
2. Budget: RM2.5k or less?
3. Specs by importance (highest to lowest)
i) Battery life, battery life, battery life. (>5hrs would be lovely!)
ii) TV/Movies so preferably good speakers and built in HDMI (I'm currently spoilt by Harman/Kardon speakers on my Toshiba with some impressive bass!)
iii) 3 or more usb ports
iv) RTS gaming once in awhile
4. Size : 13-14" will do so long as it's light.

I was this close to going for Macbook Pro 13" but it's quite pricey. And I'm inclined to try Mac's intuitive Lion OS which just came out - pinch n zoom, virtual desktop, impressive startup time, all those shortcuts, ard 6 hrs battery life.. Sigh, how la.... lol

So definitely need a second opinion here! Thanks in advance

Can consider these:
Asus N43SL, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2699[2.4kg][Bang & Olufsen] *No USB3.0
Asus N43SL (Jay-Chou edition), i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2799[Bang & Olufsen], *USB3.0, Colors: Gold/Red
Acer TimelineX 4830TG, i5-2410M + GT540M@RM2499[2.2kg]

Asus N43Sl has better speakers, whereas Acer TimelineX has longer battery life

It'll be great if you could share your usage... is the laptop only for surfing the net/ watch movies only? or are there any special programs you had in mind for the laptop?
