QUOTE(alvin ong @ Oct 8 2011, 08:31 PM) is the acer s3 better compared to the other ultrabooks? Better in terms of? O.o Anyway, we'll need to wait until they're all out before we could actually determine which one is more worth it  |

QUOTE(nsfeng @ Oct 10 2011, 01:12 AM) how abt... You might want to consider a 14" laptop instead, in which the closest (for that budget) would be the Asus N43SL (non-Jay Chou version), need to try to find one though  1. Brand = Any brands except Acer  2. Budget = 2000 - 2400 3. Specs = Graphic can play future games like MW3 with low-medium setting. 4. Size = less then 14 inch 5. STRONG BATTERY!!!! If you can up your budget abit, then the Jay Chou N43Sl would be a great choice as well~ |

QUOTE(NickyLumix @ Oct 10 2011, 01:07 AM) What the different between these 2??act i5 and i7 any big different? do i need to buy i7 for more advance??? You'll only need i7 if you're into very advanced programs or if you do a lot of insane multitasking hehe~Sony i saw 1 model is rm2499....it almost same spec with L745 but price are diff rm300... and actually i have saw u all recommend alot ASUS laptop here..last time i have heard alot bad experience from other with ASUS product...do ASUS change they product into good status now?? if 2.5k can i get any model with i5 spec?? Normal users don't really need i7 processors, it'll be overkill, and the heat and shorter battery life will not be worth it Haha, I'd recommended a lot of Asus because this time they seem to get their laptop specs and prices right It'll change All brands are more or less the same, it all depends on luck. Most Asus laptops do come with 2 years international warranty though, that's a slight advantage of Asus laptops~ For Asus, can consider Jay chou's N43SL for a budget of ~RM2.5k Added on October 10, 2011, 3:24 pm QUOTE(NickyLumix @ Oct 10 2011, 12:04 PM) Pardon me T.J...which asus laptop should not consider? got problem of the noise at the moment? and can you help to solve my question on top of few floors there? haha Asus N45Sf should be avoided at the moment since Asus haven't really solved the GPU issue yet...

QUOTE(jason83 @ Oct 10 2011, 12:38 AM) 1. Brand = Any We don't know how many degrees each notebook can open up until bro 2. Budget = <2000 3. Specs = Intel HD 3000, must be able to open the notebook 180 degrees 4. Size = <12 inch By the way, should I take the Intel HD 3000 over the AMD 6320 (in the Fusion E450)? HD 3000 has any compatibility issues? Intel-powered 12 inchers are rare and expensive. Your best bet is to go with those powered by AMD Or the closest would be: Samsung 3 series [NP350U2B-A01MY/A02MY/A03MY], i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM1799 Added on October 10, 2011, 6:45 pm QUOTE(NickyLumix @ Oct 10 2011, 04:06 PM) i have been told by fren say apple if need to play pc game have to install window with rm500 fees? is this true?? Bootcamp? Do it yourself bro, save money, there are a lot of sifus here who are experienced on this if for macs budget of RM3699 is ok but if for normal lappy below 2.5k is a must....i5,500gb,4gb ram,lasting battery and no heat issue how about fujitsu ? i head old fren told me last time FUJITSU is good on laptop..but now im nt sure..since they getting lesses of model  LifeBook LH531V, i5-2410M + Nvidia G410M@RM2299, 6GB RAM, 2 years warranty, colors: red/black/maroon Yeah, for Macs RM3.7k is considered as alright, but then you're buying a laptop to suit your needs, not just buying something that you won't be able to use right?  Fujitsus are not really meant for gaming as well This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Oct 10 2011, 06:45 PM |

QUOTE(nsfeng @ Oct 11 2011, 12:05 AM) Did anybody know where still got sell acer 3830tg? 3830Tg is still very common bro  Its 3820Tg that's hard to find haha Added on October 11, 2011, 8:58 am QUOTE(XeactorZ @ Oct 10 2011, 11:46 PM) 1. Preferred Brand - ASUS, other brand is okay as long as is worth Yeah, the i5 variant of the N55sf is pretty much the best at the moment 2. Budget - Around RM2.5k, if willing to top up is okay if worth 3. Usage - Normal Gaming 4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15.6inch actually in my mind is ASUS N55SF, is it okay ?? which is the new multimedia series just wan to know got any similar laptop and cheaper @@ You might wanna wait out for the newer ones with refreshed processors, which is coming real soon (if not already) This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Oct 11 2011, 08:58 AM |

QUOTE(bbgoat @ Oct 11 2011, 10:29 AM) Are you referring to i5 2430M (old one is 2410M) ? The 2430M already out in the store. Yeah, the one with i5-2430M Added on October 11, 2011, 11:45 am QUOTE(NickyLumix @ Oct 11 2011, 11:31 AM) Yea..so probably would consider lappy except macs... Any laptop with i7, especially the quad core version will have short battery life, regardless of brand how about Asus 14inch Core i7 2.0GHz Notebook (A43SV-VX028V)? if i have the budget for around rm3k... last thread u saying i7 is really "makan battery"..then this asus will very makan battery as well?? but i wish to get lappy can last for at least 4 years...if i lucky... For a budget of RM3k, this would be the better pick: Lenovo Y470, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT550M@RM2999[JBL] If you ask me, just extend the warranty to 3 years (or 4 years if available), at least that way you can be sure it'll last that long Asus laptops come with 2 years international warranty as standard. Though you could extend the warranty if you want, its more costly than other brands if I'm not mistaken... This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Oct 11 2011, 11:45 AM |

Just need to extend warranty to 3 years for a peace of mind to ASUS n LENOVO liao...since Lowyat Forum pros all recomment them...  and for ASUS extend warranty is how much per year wo? i think 3 years warranty is enough liao ba Not sure about the price for warranty extension of Asus laptops, you may need to contact Asus Malaysia for more details |

It'll be easy to recommend that way... Seems like you haven't decided yet? |
