Well, if you're into raw processing power, then Lenovo's V470, Dell's Inspiron 15R and Samsung's 3 series would be the ones to look out for

sifu if asus n55sf i5 vs lenovo v470 how does this 2 compare?

Depends on what type of laptop you want?
The higher resolution screen in the N55sf would come in handy if you're into designing~ The GT555m of the N55sf is also way better than the IntelHD3000 of the V470...

The V470 has a lot of processing power, and wins in terms of portability

N55SF totally trash V470 in gaming

I am also in search to buy a new laptop and i have gone through your thread and various replies and gathered a lot of useful information.thnks..

1. Any brand besides acer. I'm sick of laptop overheat issue.
2. 2 - 3k
3. Online gaming like heroes of newearth and nothing much.
4. at least 14.1'

I'm wondering why my 2 years old asus n50v laptop is having overheat issue too and keep restarting by itself. kinda disappointed with asus now.

did you cleanup your laptop before? the dust?

Okay I'm looking for a new laptop and I need something moderately sized, can play decent games, not too heavy and I have a budget of RM4000 or below, any suggestions, I really need help with this.

yes! I removed it and i almost cleaned the dust and i see the fan is doing alright. I just don't understand where's the bloody heat comes from. It likes all the laptops will face the same ending after years.

Then most likely need to repaste. Try use HWMonitor to check the temperature..

+1 if it still hot even after dust cleaning, mean u need to reapply the thermal paste and this not only apply to laptop, even desktop need to repaste if the temps is higher than normal.

How much does it cost? it's expensive or not? or I can do it by myself? Thanks!

Good paste is around RM2x, you can do it yourself if you comfortable with disassembling the notebook..

It looks easy on youtube. I'll try it and see how it gonna be later. Thanks for telling bro!
