This is a NICE!!! No wonder its been hilite...

owh, btw...did malaysia will get white model??

alienware m14x or dell xps 15z?

budget around 4.5k.recommend me other brands as well

usage bro? Prefer 14 or 15"

Screen size? Usage?

screen size doesn't matter as long in 14-15 range.

usage just like normal browsing and doing assignments maybe,watching videos and listening musics.will do some slight gaming but not really graphic intensive type.eg HoN or Dota 2

Then Dell XPS 15 with 1080p ?

compared with the m14x....clearly the xps 15 have better specs

but i cant resist the design of the alienware

If like that, I can't do no more

The Dell XPS15, upon upgrading, is still more powerful and relatively cheaper compared to the M14x, but at the expense of portability
I don't really like the awkward design of the XPS15, but after upgrading to FullHD screen etc., its still one of the best multimedia machines at the moment

u mean xps 15 will be heavier than m14x? that's kinda surprise to me coz i always expect alienwares or gaming laptops to be heavier


btw both of them got backlit keyboards rite? while the alienware got more blinks

and do any of them come wif USB 3.0?

Its more to the laptop size..
M14x is heavier..

Both got backlit, M14x got colours.

Both have USB 3.0

The M14x should be heavier since it starts at 3.2kg
hard to say if you upgrade to 9-cell battery for the XPS 15.. But I think its still lighter (although bulkier) than the M14x

As lee_what sifu mentioned, both have backlit keyboards, the M14x has more color options, and there are several other places which can be lighted up
Both have USB3.0

Get Asus N55 or wait for HP DV6Z??

Is't comparable??

guys..why i never seen VX7 been recommended in this post? is that any problem with VX7?

Yeah, it has been recommended before
Especially to those who wanted both class and performance in a gaming laptop
Here's the reviews on the previous VX7:

Not as good as expected, especially if you prefer gaming performance/ laptop user friendliness over looks/ class
The newer version of the VX7 is more powerful~

Hi all sifus and simous, newbie here, nice to meet all of you.

Just wondering what laptop should i get for university, here is my budget and usages:


1. Brand : Not really sure which brand is the best. What you guys recommend? I want a brand that is ok and so-so, Not looking for the best but somewhere in the middle.

2. Budget : My budget is around 1.5k to 1.8k

3. Usage : Mainly for surfing the net, watching movies, games like DotA, CoD, L4D, or other popular games such as NFS which i have never played before on my lousy desktop i'm using right now. And also engineering programs which probably requires alot of RAM?

4. Size : 14' laptop. HD size doesn't matter as i bought the 500gb seagate HD from IT Fair which costs RM 99


I want at least an i5 and a ok/so-so graphic card. I want a laptop that is able to run smoothly, for example run music in the background while i'm doing assignments with internet explorer/firefox running. I just hope to get a laptop that is value for money. It's my first time buying a laptop/owning a laptop.

Thanks.

There's no sub RM2k laptop with i5 and a decent graphic card.
If possible, try to increase budget abit and get these:
Acer Aspire 4755G, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M(2GB)@RM2199 , 3 years warranty
Asus A43Sv, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M(1GB)@RM2349[2.44kg]
Asus A43Sa-VX011V, i5-2410M + AMD HD6730@RM2399 *upcoming
Dell Inspiron 14R (N4110), i5-2410M + AMD HD6630@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB, *Big Giant Plaid!Lid
Dell Inspiron 14R (N4110), i5-2410M + AMD HD6630@RM2349, 4GB, 640GB, *Big Giant Plaid!Lid

If strict on budget, then:
Toshiba Satellite L745-1050X, i3-2310 + Nvidia GT525M@RM1999[2.14kg], 2nd & 3rd year warranty

Hmm... probably i'll got for the Acer Aspire 4755G... RM2k+
Lol cause really tight on budget... was looking at the 4750G, somebody was selling for 1.7k but all so fast sold out...
Thanks for your advice

Bargain abit, who knows you might get a price that's pretty close to RM2k
