... depends on you...

normally in the world of games... gettig better gpu is best...

in this case...


choosing either one comes down to ur own preference.. have u gone to touch them yet?

Go and take a look at both units, then decide
The most important thing is to go for the one that you like more

+1
this is the advice that tj and all the sifus here gave me when i was deciding..
true... ^^

but i think my games arent really demanding so much.
lol i dont play crisis those.just pes,fm,sim city

lol.where to touch them haha.

There will certainly be more games coming which you'd like to play
Go find display units at your nearest computer stores?

both offer decent gpu.....(but in asus is better)
one is i5.. one is i7...
for ur current games.... both sufficient to run..
lolx... but future? @@

nowadays the bottleneck is still the gpu is many apps and games...

of cz thr are those that are optimized for i7 too....

most important you go to computer stores nearby to touch them...




no use getting state of the art weather forecast system but u wake up everyday and hope to throw it away...

lol thanks guys

the upcoming pes2012, who knows the min requirement quite demanding, lol

Hi.

Excuse me.

may i know which brand of laptop is the best? with least chance to be sent back for repair.

performance has to be good, quality built has to be good, very durable. MUST be VERY light. 14' or above.

since my dad is going to get one to replace the current one.

TQ very much.

Would be nice if you could state your budget as well
Well, whether a laptop lasts or not depends very much on how well its taken care of
However, just in case of unforeseen circumstances, it'll be nice to have extended warranty support, in which Dell and Lenovo would be nice picks~
Since you're looking for a light 14 incher, can consider these:
Lenovo
ThinkPad Edge E420s, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM3299[1.88kg], W7P; 18 months on-site warranty
ThinkPad Edge E420s, i5-2410M + AMD HD6630@RM3699[1.88kg], W7P; 18 months on-site warranty

Recommend extending the warranty to 3 years on-site warranty

Thanks for your reply. APPRECIATED!

however, my dad's budget is RM2000-RM3000.

i dont think that my dad likes lenovo laptops' design.

normal warranty period will be enough for GOOD laptops.

i found out some articles saying that Acer is the cheapest but having the highest chance to be sent back for repair. is that true? i am quite agreed with that. since my acer aspire 4740G always experiences the problem of NVIDIA driver being not responding but i always take very very good care of it! (even the plastic adhered to the front cover is still there ) my dad is currently using acer as well, he said his atom-based netbook is very problematic . he needs a replacement in September.

according to statistics, ASUS laptops have the least chance to be sent back to factory for repair.

do u have other opinion? which laptop to choose?

THANKSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the ThinkPad Edge, do check out the real thing
And I have to disagree, it all depends on luck and how you take care of your laptop (not only physically, of course haha)... Even those who bought near RM10k laptops have problems upon arrival... again it depends on luck...

Oh ya, the reliability survey by SquareTrade is very outdated already

Anyway, for Asus, the 14" to look at is:
Asus U46Sv-WX023v, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2999[2.14kg]; USB3.0, Asus optical mouse
But its not light, haha~

Apart from this one, there's the:
Acer Travelmate 8481, i5-2467M + Intel HD3000@RM2699[1.5kg], W7P
..which runs on ULV processor that's not that powerful... So the ThinkPad Edge will still be better...

I think your dad can either choose heavier 14 inchers, or go for 13 inchers

thanks for your reply.

it means almost two third of my friends are unlucky? bro, i know what u mean, even macbook user will face problem. however, it depends on the probability, right? EXAMPLE: "the probability of getting a faulty Asus laptop is very much lower than getting a faulty Acer laptop."

do u have the latest statistics?

i really dare not to take the risk to buy acer.

my brother has a Thinkpad 'given' by his company. i know that it is shockproof & waterproof. but, the design.....

"Asus U46Sv-WX023v, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2999[2.14kg]; USB3.0, Asus optical mouse" may be an option.

thanks, bro.

if the budget is unlimited, any other laptop u can recommend? MUST BE LIGHT, GOOD.

Thanks.

MacBook Air..

Never try before. i am worried that my dad will not be used to it.

i have not differentiated Macbook & PC laptops. i dont know the differences.

TQ

If your dad is familiar with Windows, then better not ask him to get a Mac
