lol off course lor
if not sure got a lot people sue about HP

hi...
need help here on choosing my notebook

1. Preferred Brand - Anything (prefer Asus,Dell or Toshiba)
2. Budget - rm2k-2.4k
3. Usage - surf net, watch movie, picture editing, light gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - anything(since wanna get Dell 24' ultra-sharp LCD as external.)

1. Preferred Brand
2. Budget
3. Usage
4. Preferred laptop/screen size

1. Currently looking at Asus as I have tried on Lenovo and Acer. If any other suitable brands that meets my requirement I am glad to know about it too.

2. Budget around RM 3K

3. For software like AutoCAD and games like Civilization V & preparing for DotA 2.

4. 14" and higher. But the weight should not exceed 3kg preferably.

Hope to get replies soon! Btw, I have an eye on Asus N55SF and N53SN-SX269V. I have another question is that i7 core and i5 core is there much different if I am to use the laptop for AutoCAD and games like Civilization & DotA2?

Your kindness is greatly appreciated!

14"


15"


for one thing, it's dual core against quad core. so imo you will benefit from extra cpu power for AutoCAD and any other cpu intensive stuff. for gaming, gt555m should be able to handle all the game with good fps. So I'd say n55sf is pretty decent choice.

edit: given 3k budget, you can also get hp dv6 without beats with spec of i7-2630QM + AMD HD6770

May I know anyone here tried Lenovo G770? Any comments on the reliability?

17.3 Inch @ RM26xx seems pretty good for a big size screen(usually 17inch >4K), and the spec isnt that bad either. Only problem is the battery life which remain 6 cells.


Any other recommendation for laptop that has big screen size < RM3K budget? the cheaper the better. I dont really care about performance as I will be using it for web surfing, youtube, movie only, so screen size does really matters here, may be battery life as well.

We don't have the Lenovo G770 over here in Malaysia right?

Most of the 17" laptops here are more expensive than RM3k

However, for a 15" laptop, the Inspiron 15R would be a great choice, you can use some of the remaining money to extend the warranty to 3 years~
Inspiron 15R (N5050), B950 + Intel HD3000@RM1659
Inspiron 15R (N5050), i3-2330M + Intel HD3000@RM1739

*Do take note that the larger the screen size, the shorter the battery life

Thanks for the info. For N55sf i7 or i5 is recommended? The price diference is quite huge. And If N55SF i7 core compare with N53 i7 core( the difference is only the graphic card) which is more worth for its money?

The i7 variant for the N55sf is not particularly worth it because the i7, weirdly as it seems, uses a normal HD screen (the i5 variant uses a matte, HD+ screen instead)..
In between the n55sf (i7) and the n53sn, it all boils down to which one you like more lo... The former does have a better gpu and comes with an additional subwoofer

Hi all, i am going to buy a new laptop

Any brands will do as long as it is good.
price range would be 2000 - 3000
i will be using it for working and light gaming
screen size would be the wider the better but do not exceed my budget.
hehehe..Any sincere input will be appreciate.
Thanks all

n55sf again

Hi

Between these three, which one better for gaming (FIFA 12, Sims 3, Starcraft 2 etc)?

1. ASUS A43TA-VX047V - AMD Sabine 1.4GHz 4M cache - AMD Radeon HD6720G2

2. ASUS A35J Colour Series - Pentium B950 2.1GHz 2M cache - NVidia GeForce GT 520M

3. ASUS A35J Colour Series - Intel Core i3 2330M 2.2GHz 3M cache - NVidia GeForce GT 520M

Thanks..

Lenovo G770 is available in Malaysia @ RM2599

Hi, can you lead me to the detail post?
Thank you!

yeah, thats what I saw in the garage sales, just wondering if such cheap price and is the reliability is good enough for a nice 5yrs usage or not.

Any other alternatives that beat this? Cant seems to find any.

What are the specs?

actually is better for you to extend the warranty to 3 years.

for RM2600,dont expect can use up to 5 years,but at least is worth it
