dear sifus..since pikom pcfair is coming this weekend, would u suggest me to buy during that period or wait until after it's finished coz some people say they sell old stocks/models or the price of those laptops will drop nonetheless after pcfair? thanks

Buy when you need, wait if you can.

If you're buying during PC fair, its best that you buy in LYP/ Digital Mall during the same period when the event is held. You'll get the same deals with less crowds (but less babes as well )

Thanks

Hi Sifus,

1. Preferred Brand
Sony
2. Budget
RM2-2.3k
3. Usage
Work, Surf and Games
4. Preferred laptop/screen size
13" and above

Please recommend! Thanks!

Closest from Sony would be these two:
Sony
14"
Vaio VPCEG26EG, i3-2330M + Intel HD3000@RM2099[2.3kg], colors: Black/Blue/Pink/White; 2 years warranty
Vaio VPCEG28FG, i5-2430M + Nvidia G410M@RM2499[2.3kg], colors: Black/Blue/Pink/White; 2 years warranty

Others are over your budget unfortunately

Perhaps you would want to consider laptops from other brands?

Hi sifu,

Please recommend,

1. Any brand
2. 2k max
3. For my parents to watch shows and surf the net. Nothing to intense on the laptop.
4. Again, any size.

Just looking for a simple and reasonably price laptop that generates respectable performance. As my parents would want to watch some korean drama or what not, it would be good if the laptop has good sound and screen quality.

Thank you in advance!

Well, can't expect too much from a RM2k laptop yo haha
Can consider these two:
Inspiron 15 (N5050), i3-2330M + Intel HD3000@RM1649, W7HB
Inspiron 15 (N5050), B950 + Intel HD3000@RM1449, W7HB, belkin Radius 15.6" backpack, Expires 8 Dec

Do use the remaining money to extend the in-home warranty support to 3 years, would be very handy and convenient for your parents to call in Dell technicians for repairs (if required [touchwood])

Hi sifus,
i need a laptop for autocad, matlab, labview, and heavy gaming but my budget only 1800 (as less as possible)
it doesn't matter come with os o not
is it e450 or e350 enough for me?
at the beginning i aim asus or acer apu a6
what i scare that this is my third laptop, so that i dont want waste too much money (spoiled and lost)
any brand recommand?

Can consider this:
Acer Aspire 4755G-2432G50, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT520M@RM1899[2.3kg], 2GB, 500GB; 3 years local warranty

any cheaper model?

Hi, i need some recomendation,
1. Toshiba/Fujitsu/Asus
2. 2.5k to 4k
3. Without gaming, need to be smooth
4. above 13
Preferable i5, 4gb ram
Thanks

depends on you bah
normally buy at pc fair got freebies while buy from shop also got
and i don't think is old stock / model @@

Not really
The E450 APU is not exactly very powerful for autocad etc. Its geared towards gaming.
Hmm, perhaps these? FreeDOS though, its more or less balanced in terms of CPU/GPU... good for the price you're paying

HP Compaq CQ43-300TX, B950 + AMD HD6470M@RM1399, FreeDOS
Lenovo G470, B950 + AMD HD6370M@RM1299, FreeDOS
Asus A43Sj, Pentium B950 + Nvidia GT520M@RM1799, W7HP; FreeDOS@RM1499

If you're into gaming, then the G53 would definitely be the better option.
If you still want a little bit of portability, then choose the N53Sn...
The G53 should be better built~

What issues about the G53 have you heard?

pentium = celeron o atom
i very disappointed about nvidia entry card, it never provides better performance even run in lowest performance mode
b950 able to run ubuntu and virtual machine smoothly or not

What do you expect from a RM1.5k laptop o? Hardcore gaming one?
B950 shouldn't have any problems with Ubuntu...
