Searching for a laptop for programming, so i prefer it to have the following:
1. 1600x900 resolution screen, only 14 or 15 inch size, or 1080p(might not be able to afford it though)
2. Matte screen
3. ~5 hours battery life
4. i5 processor
6. Good keyboard
7. This is optional, can run team fortress 2.

Any suggestion? thank you.


One question, is it possible if i run a laptop with 1366x768 resolution screen, and plug into a monitor with 1680x1050 screen, display both screen simultaneously.

i am thinking of buying 2 laptop/tablet for office use also now..aiming 1 laptop and 1 tablet..each max 2k..

does it really maintain the formats when changing OS?

tablet main usage is facility monitoring via web browser and normal office works..words, excel and ppt editing and presentation..

transformer prime vs galaxy tablet 10.1 vs ipad2

prefering the new transformer, hopefully the lauch will be not delayed too long..it is better: full size keyboard, usb, mini hdmi..


laptop main usage same as above, but its windows platform will integrate better..shud be not too bulky and fast for multitasking..i.e. 10-20 documents at a go..prefered brand by IT department is dell or hp..any suggestion? based on previous post..suggested dell inspiron 14z..

i have no problem viewing and editing ms excel doc 2010

Closest would be the Dell Latitude E5420, just go for the HD+ screen update
http://configure.ap.dell.com/dellstore/con...=latitude-e5420

adding the HD+ screen exceeded my budget.
I'm currently looking and lenovo's notebook, quite like the good build quality and keyboard of the thinkpad. But couldn't find any price on the website.

That's why I mentioned "closest"
Don't think there's other alternatives at the moment...

what are the differences between dell vostro vs inspiron....it seem have same spec yet different name and design..

which is more worth to buy if the price is same???

Inspiron -> budget consumer line
Vostro -> budget business line

The Vostro series (based on my experiences) are generally more user-friendly because of the matte materials; but are less attractive in terms of design. Personally I feel that Vostro laptops are better build as well, and hence, the dearer price

Asus N55SF, i5 2430M + nVidia GT555M@RM2799. 1600x900 matte.
5 hours might be pushing though..

Can, just set it to "extend"

any recommendations for gaming?
15~16 inch screen with FHD (1920x1080) resolution
graphic card between geforce gt540m and gtx560m.

Hi guys, looking for a tough laptop for mechanics. Oily, dirty, dusty work environment, and their hands sure won't be clean. But the none of the above really cause too much problem even when they are using normal spec laptops. Their biggest problem however is, dropped from table to floor, accidents, etc...

What is a closes tough book available that does not cost a bom?

N55Sf-SX2353v [black], i5-2430M + Nvidia GT555m (2GB) + 1600x900@RM2799[Bang & Olufsen]; USB3.0, Sonic Master subwoofer

HP Dm1, Dell M102z or Asus 1215b?

Your bduget ?

Asus 1015B ?
1.8'' SSD would need the mSATA to SATA converter case..

Unfortunately toughbook alike cost a bomb..
You can try look at Dell business notebook and upgrade the warranty for complete cover/care, it will cover accidents..
or ThinkPad T series..
