Nope
Closest would be the Lenovo Y570 with slightly poorer GPU performance, and a slightly lower resolution screen. haha
The i5 variant of the N55sf is worth it imho if you're okay with the design

so basically the a43ta can handle many games to come, just that its not so good when it comes to cpu-intensive tasks, right? so , does it make it on par with the i5?

Do take note that handling games to come and maxing games to come is different yo haha~
But its the best choice atm
Nope, the A6 is poorer than the i3

Okay, got a change of budget. I can afford bout <3k. Any new recommendations, or do dell xps 15z and asus n55sf 's lower specs models still fit the bill?


Guys, need your recommendation for a new laptop for university.

Brand : A reliable one. (good international service as i'll be going overseas for studies )

Price : Below 3k

Size : maybe 14' or 15' ?

Usage : mid level gaming, movies, surfing.

If you guys need any more info, pls ask. Not sure what other info you need to determine a suitable laptop for me. :/ Also, maybe you guys could give me a couple of choices so i could go down to lowyat plaza to have a look at the laptops. THanks in advance guys!

This one would be the best option for now
Asus N55Sf-S2043v [black], i5-2410M + Nvidia GT555m (2GB) + 1600x900@RM2799[Bang & Olufsen]; USB3.0, Sonic Master subwoofer

I don't think plugging in a 120W in a 90W intended lappy is harmful,
The Cooler Master USNA95 I have can go 190W, but then my laptop uses way much less than that, yet it's working fine. Higher wattage can charge my battery faster too

yeah bout this i noticed too..

when i charge my battery...


when idle it charges so fast!!!

but i play games.... waseh.. few hours aso haven charge finish....

It would come with international warranty of 2 years, am I right?

and how would it compare with
XPS 15, i5-480M + Nvidia GT420M@RM2499 [JBL]
IdeaPad Y570, i5-2410M +Nvidia GT555M@RM2699[JBL]

Any other recommendations so i can compare laptops when i get to lowyat?

Thanks alot T.J.

it loses to both of them specs wise....

n55sf wins them both specs wise..

the xps is older gen cpu... gpu also nt strong.....

the y570... gt555m is a much more crippled card...

it goesd like this...

top notch gt555m is in alienware m14x...
then below it is gt555m in n55sf....

then below more is the one in y570.. yes. it's weird so many versions of the same card.. but yeah.. weird stuff happens sumtimes...XD

xps 15 JBL speakers are better than the speakers in n55sf.. if u don't count in n55sf's external subwoofer...

Haha thanks so much ivan! You guys pretty much have given me no reason not to get the n55sf.

Ok, will be going to get one, one of these days then. Though, can't really get much reviews on the n55sf when doing a quick google search. The only one i got was
http://gadgets.ndtv.com/shownews.aspx?id=G...002&Sec=REVIEWS
and
http://laptopreviewshop.com/review-asus-n55sf.html
which gives mixed reviews.

Sorry guys, need to ask again. This is after shop to shop survey.

I get these few quoted price but first one question, which better AMD E-450 or Intel B940?

Quote price:
Acer AS4250-E402G50L
AMD E450-1.65GHZ
4GB DDR3
ATI HD6320 (HDMI)
500GB
8X DVD SUPER
Wireless 802.11B/G/N , Webcam 1.3MP
FreeDos
RM1099 - 1 year warranty (3 year warranty RM1150)

Lenovo G475
Spec same as Acer
AMD E350-1.65GHZ
4GB DDR3
ATI HD6310 (HDMI)
500GB
1-year warranty
RM1199

Asus K43U-VX014
2-year warranty
Spec same as Lenovo
RM1199

or

Dell Inspiron N4050
Intel B940
6GB DDR3 RAM
RM1299

Ah. so since you've used it before. any comments?like, is it good at multitasking, any heat problems, speaker, screen etc.?

din use b4...

is we see and read frm benchmarks and reviews from sites. XD


cpu wise.. it loses to i3 slightly..

gpu wise..

onpar with gt540m.... theoretically.. can go better than gt540m... better than my card.. XD



games has always been bottlenecked by gpu power.. so now they stuff better gpu power into a cheaper notebook. but the trade off is not as good cpu....(bu.. BUT.. it is still enuf to run all ur daily task and etc nicely... phtoshop will run.. no probs.. just not as fast..)


i've touched it b4.. build is ok.. would recommend it. XD

basically it's like that..

priced at 1.8k.... those that cant extend their budget to 2k .... this is the best allrounder....

Hi to all and thanks in advance,

1. Asus A43TA-VX019V

Hi everyone..i need suggestion for dell brand only laptop budjet around 2.5k below..this is for office use and maybe using some drawing app like autocad..need help for my friend office used and her office just want dell brand.any good suggestion?

Preferred screen size?

14".. Forget to mention

Dell
Inspiron 14 (N4050), i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM1999
Vostro 3450, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM2399, backlit keyboard, Belkin HDMI cable, 1 year accidental warranty

The Vostro 3450 is more user-friendly and thus better for work purposes
Use the remaining money to extend the warranty to 3 years onsite

best 14 incher for games atm? below 3.5k
