Guys, what do you think of U36JC by Asus? My laptop just spoiled recently and I'm looking for a good replacement. My criteria is light and last long, but at least have some decent processing power as I'll process photos from time to time

The price quoted is RM 2,950 with free external dvd.

According to devour, a new U36 and U46 will be coming up in 2 weeks time, might wanna wait for those, new design yo

Just wait for the U36SD. Same price as the U36JC but performance is still way superior.

Crap la. I just found out my 15.6" laptop is hard to bring to my university. Some more heavy. Even 14" is quite heavy except if you're talking about 4830TG. I'm a weak guy.

I want to buy a netbook, but can't find one that is below RM1000 (on a tight budget) that has good design. Just need it to bring to my uni when got tutorial lesson.

My main purposes are to bring it to university to download stuffs, do assignments, do revision on lecture notes, watch videos/movies. The maximum download speed achieved by my friends there is 2MB per second, thats why i want....any recommendation yo?

told you all that 15.6" is not exactly very suitable for Uni haha
Anyway, Can consider Asus 1215b and perhaps even Toshiba NB520 hehe~

Thanks for reminding. Guess I'll be using netbook for some time.

By the way, any other alternative suggestion to light and long lasting laptop (with decent i5) other than Asus U36 series?

Acer TimelineX 4830Tg, Asus N43SL, Asus N43SL (Jay Chou version)
All these have long battery lives and good performance~

It's quite heavy at 2.4 KG for me. Prefer something less than 1.8KG including battery

Pretty much Asus U series then
Unless,
Toshiba
Portégé R830, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM3379(Hikari85)[1.4kg], W7P, 2nd & 3rd year international warranty, Microsoft Office Home & Student 2010; colors: Black/Red/Blue
Portégé R830, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM4495(Hikari85)[1.4kg], W7P, 2nd & 3rd year international warranty, Microsoft Office Home & Student 2010; colors: Black/Red/Blue
Portégé R830, i7-2620M + Intel HD3000@RM5610 (Hikari85)[1.4kg], W7P, 2nd & 3rd year international warranty, Microsoft Office Home & Student 2010; colors: Black/Red/Blue

Which will burn a big hole in your pocket

Woah if like that I'll rather wait for U36SD. Do you have any information as to the pricing of the laptop ?

ahahaha.. perlis gt tornado?? better u gain weight.. so no fly2.. can hold ipad tight2..

Now then I realise,

Luckily netbook not that expensive for normal study usage

But Asus 1215b is more than rm1000....haih


That's pretty awesome.

Are you talking about this? with the specs below





RM899, not bad, feels like getting this, thanks a lot yah

wats it mean by unlimited web storage?

Yeap, that's the one and it can be gotten for cheaper too.

Asus 1215b should be able to hit RM1k after discount?
If not, then 1015b would be good as well, only that the screen is slightly smaller

Im surprised it comes with USB3.0 also for so cheap

slightly smaller? the exact screen to view (not including the side of the screen) is 10.1" is it? if you get what i mean....hope its not too small for me to do stuffs lol

Can store as much of your stuffs on the web lo
But whether you have the connection speed to do that or not is another problem haha

nvm... i am cool... i like heavy stuff... and err wat's i pad? being at labuan thr out dated LOL

This particular netbook has been at the top of my personal recommendation list for months. Looks like it'll be there until it phases out and gets replaced.

lol alex....
