Hi guys, I am looking for a new laptop now as my current Toshiba is dying. The models I am interested are as followed:

> Dell XPS 14z;
> Sony Vaio VPCSB38GG/S;
> Apple Macbook Pro 13-inch
> Toshiba Portege R830

I travel a lot for overseas assignment but seldom play games. Any idea which laptop should I purchase?

Thanks for the info.

If Acer reliable? I heard ppl said Acer easy spoil and very "hot". RM1899 can get i5, i feel very cheap. Actually im a ASUS supportor, my previous laptop all ASUS but this time i m thinking to change brand.

Ermmm guys , what's the difference between the Asus N55SF-SX352V and the np8130 ? Is the graphics card in the Sager better ?
Overall if I upgrade the np8130 to a i7 processor then , then the Sager would be a better buy compared to the g53 ?
Thanks guys

nowaday acer not bad also
thats no 100% prefect laptop
the most important is get review and asking around here about the model quality before u proceed it

+1, and its not just model quality...
Certain models have known issues one e.g. Satellite M500 and N45sf (GPU issues)... doing a little bit of research on your potential laptop will help avoid these type of problems

If you're assignments only involves normal office work, the MacBookAir/ Ultrabooks would be a nice choices as well

Thanks!

I went to the Shop juz now.. i saw Acer not bad.

but the ASUS shop boss offers me a Demo spec of A43TA, he gives me RM300 discount. After discount RM1499.

I dun know wat is AMD processor. He said this laptop is good for Gaming. The performance is as good as I5. Is it true?

Should i consider it? As my previous post, i need this laptop for normal gaming (dota) and most of the time for Internet (FB).

Thanks for the reply. What about dell? any recommendation?

No, the performance out of the box is not as good as i5. Only after u overclock it the performance will get close to i5.
But it is good for gaming tho.. @RM1.5K it is quite a bargain.

Dell
Inspiron 14 (M4040), AMD E-450 + AMD HD6470M + 320GB HDD@RM1599[2.2kg]
Inspiron 14 (M4040), AMD E-450 + AMD HD6470M + 500GB HDD@RM1699[2.2kg]

Vostro 1450, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM1699, 2GB, W7HB, Belkin HDMI cable, Belkin Radius 15.6" Backpack
Vostro 1450, i3-2310M + AMD HD6470M@RM1824, 2GB, W7HB, Belkin HDMI cable, Belkin Radius 15.6" Backpack
