Anyone can recommend a sturdy "gaming capable" laptop below RM 3k? Any brand.

hp dv6, n45/55sf, msi ge620dx, lenovo y470p

1. Preferred Brand : none, never bought a laptop before and I've heard mixed reviews about the different brands
2. Budget : RM2000+- (preferably below RM2300)
3. Usage : Microsoft Office, powerpoint presentations (connect to projector), SPSS (statistics program), able to watch youtube surf net? Games like plant and zombies, dragon nest.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : any will do?

Extra info: I multi-task a lot, so I would prefer at least 4GB of RAM?

nope... unless u mean desktop / laptop perinstalled microsoft office with windows 7 which is microsoft office starter ( words and excel only )

Can consider these (prices are in RRP, can still nego until within your budget~):
14"
Acer Aspire 4755G-2434G64, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2199[2.3kg], 4GB, 640GB; 3 years local warranty
A43Sv-VX264v, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT540M(1GB)@RM2349[2.44kg]
Dell Inspiron 14 (N4050), i5-2430M + AMD HD6470M@RM2199, Belkin Radius 15.6" backpack, 24 months McAfee, expires 8 Dec
HP Pavilion G4-1204TX/1205TX, i5-2430M + AMD HD6470M@RM2149; colors: Charcoal Grey/Sonoma Red
MSI CX480X, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT520M@RM1999, W7HP, 3 years warranty *PIKOM PC Fair
Lenovo Z470, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT520M@RM2099, 640GB, colors: Black/Pink, 2nd & 3rd year warranty
Samsung 3 series, i5-2430QM + Nvidia GT520M@RM2299, colors: Black/Silver/Orange
Toshiba Satellite L745-1153XB/54XR/56XW, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT525M@RM2399[2.14kg], Colors: Brown/Red/White, 2nd & 3rd local year warranty

For better gaming performance, can go for the 4755g and A43sv.
For better warranty support, can go for those with 3 years warranty, though my vote goes to the L745

So the Toshiba would be a better investment?? I did eye the 4755G because the specs looked good at that price, but some of my friends have recommended against taking Acer laptops, while 2 recommended it >.< So I am a little stuck.

I noticed the 4755G also comes with 3 years warranty? I guess gaming isn't my main concern as I have a desktop for that. Is that L745 stable and smooth in using?? I've read mixed reviews about it >.< Mostly about battery life and some software problems?? Any advice on that??

What about Lenovo Z470? It looks tempting (well, mostly because it is in PINK!)

Personally I would go for Toshiba because I know Teledynamics technicians will always be there for me
Whether the laptop runs smooth or not depends on how you manage your stuffs inside?
What kind of software problems o?

I'm not so sure about the 4755g (there were a few comments on freezing) and z470 (the pink looks awkward haha)... din't really come across a lot of reviews

Ohh..so you find that Toshiba's customer service is good? I just tried Googling their service centers, apparently there's one in Low Yat?? That would be pretty convenient! I can't remember what software problem, i think they said that the programmes that comes pre-installed were junk or something.


I am thinking this is an older model?? http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2391135,00.asp

Noticed that this one is missing some of the features listed on http://buylaptop.com.my/web/products.asp?Id=1719

guys is it wise to get a laptop now? attracted to msi GE620DX-FHD
going to further my study next year...my pc still intel c2d with outdated gc cant reli gaming ...
i wanna ask if next year release new proc will the msi still got such good specs and price?thx

Based on my experiences, its not bad la haha
Yup, there a Teledynamics service center on the top floor of LYP, another one at Shah Alam

You could always delete them bloatwares

If you're more interested in on-site warranty support, then can consider Dell as well~

Older model? That one is L755 (15" laptop). The one in the 2nd link is the correct one

1. Preferred Brand : (1)Asus, (2)Leenovo, (3)Dell
2. Budget : RM2000++ (below RM2500)
3. Usage : Heavy user of Adobe Photoshop, some video editing stuff, game like cod,bf,ect
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : tak kisah...

Newer technology will always come out all the time
Buy when you need, wait if you can~

ok thx

Ahh..I see. What about Windows 7? I was told by my friend that I should get a 64 bit, but it seems like the L745 comes with a 32 bit one.

All Toshiba units comes with both 32-bit and 64-bit W7.. you'll get to choose which one you want during the 1st boot up.
You can still change the OS version whenever u factory reset your Toshiba

huh~ toshiba laptop default come with 2 different bit os ? so nice ?

1. Preferred Brand : ASUS
2. Budget : Below 2k (Cheaper better lol)
3. Usage : err, for digital drawing like Photoshop, paint tool sai. Light gaming such as Dinner Dash.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : err notebook ?

Added on December 13, 2011, 3:32 pmYeap! Where got nice, they should've just stick to 64-bit in the 1st place
The availability of 2 different versions may sometimes bring about driver problems
