Might want to consider buying an M17x R2 and then upgrade it with the latest GPU like what hidz7 did since the R2 is basically better in terms of build etc.  hmm.gif
If you one to customize your M17x (e.g. with customized name plates and specifications) at discounted prices, can try to PM viper88  brows.gif

lol.where to touch them haha.

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... tongue.gif

u r right, dont have to waste time learning.

thanks for your reply.  notworthy.gif

it means almost two third of my friends are unlucky?  hmm.gif 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?  drool.gif 

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. rclxms.gif but, the design..... sad.gif

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

thanks, bro.  notworthy.gif

if the budget is unlimited, any other laptop u can recommend(besides macbook)? MUST BE LIGHT, i5 processor, 3Gb Ram.

Thanks.  biggrin.gif

haha... statistics can ''help''.. but it is not ultimate decision.. lolx.. compare apples wif apples.. nt apple tree with apple tree... ^^

but anyways... if u are worried..

acer higher end models are okay.

if budget unlimited.. @@..

sony Z series.... iirc.. comes with dock..the laptop itself is low spec.. but light and thin for mobility.. bek home.. connect wit the dock. haha.. walla... quite high end gaming rig.. XD..

but im nt sure can find in mahresia or not.. i haven seen one.. @@ (kampung ipoh)

toshiba lappy generally offers less enticing specs... but so far their build quality is fine.. not much complains(at least in here la... but it could be probably toshiba owners less active... XD)


lolx..
waht i mean is

sony tree with toshiba tree or acer tree

try not to compare as a whole... cz in eac company bound to hav good and bad...

but it's understandable . even i sumtimes couldn't resist compare brands with brands.... laugh.gif

Guys:
I am looking for a new laptop but not sure which one to get:
---------------------------------------------
My primary usage for a laptop
- streaming HD movies to TV
- email
- MS Office
- Some photoshop works
- Internet
- Size wise, prefer a 13 inches laptop (not more)
Currently using a thinkpad edge 13 but it cannot handle 1080p movies

Laptop must be slim and light (dont mind not having any disc drives as I rarely use them)
-----------------------------------------
Brand wise, looking at MBP but worried since it does not have HDMI output and I use HDMI to output audio / video to the TV.
-----------------------------------------
Budget wise, doesnt really matter. since its not an issue as long as it doesnt exceed 13000
Any suggestions?
*
thin and light.. some suggestions.. XD
13incher
asus
U31Sd, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT520M@RM2999[1.78kg]; USB3.0 external OD, Asus optical mouse

toshiba
Portégé R830-1004/1005UB/1006UR, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM3999[1.4kg], W7P, 2nd & 3rd year international warranty, Microsoft Office Home & Student 2010, Transformer flash drive; colors: metallic Black/Blue/Red

Yeah, the N43Sl (normal version), despite not having USB3.0, is still the best all rounder at this time nod.gif
The N series should have better build, design and speakers than the A43Sv~
Ivan is right, do check out the size for 14" and 15" laptops yourself to get a rough picture on how its like... personally I prefer 14" for portability~


Added on August 23, 2011, 11:28 pm

We should take a photo showing the differences don't you think? hehe
BUt then nothing beats touching the real thing

i dun hav 15 incher to be my model.. blink.gif

lolx...


n43sl is still a good lappy... well tested... so far no complaints....

thr are those people that wait for a model to stabilize and wait for confirmation it is stable and good then only buy it....


lolx... in a way it is a good practice...

Although this is going a little off topic, I would have to disagree
Without the 3D glasses you can't polarize the electromagnetic wave (in this case, light) to have the cross-eye effect, creating a 3D effect with the optical illusion caused by your brain
I don't know the magic behind glassless 3D, but Nintendo 3DS did give you a lot of warnings about this issue


Added on August 23, 2011, 11:58 pm
So far, N45sf is the one having the most problem. N43SL is perfectly fine

corrected...XD


lolx..

erm...

those witout 3d glasses... they use face recognition to monitor whr ur eye is seeing... then calibrate the screen in realtime to show polarized frames to ur eyes... not sure how good it works... but.. XD
