Looking for an ultrabook for the wife. Lightweight and portable is her choice. She likes the Acer S3. Lack of inbuillt optical drive and fixed battery not an issue with her. Any other options?

14'' can look at Acer Travelmate 8481

asus u series ?

2700 out of budget lah hahah. Thanks for the tip anyway

Hi would like to know which model of netbook is good in durability ?
Which netbook processor graphic card is better ? atom or amd in terms of multi tasking?

Which netbook having s-video output and vga output ?
thank you

Wow, difference between S3 and 8481 is only rm100? Need to take a good hard look then. Any other differences?

Hi, I'm planning to buy a new laptop for purpose of watching movies in 1080p at times and maybe 720p normally. And some light gaming like sc2 once in awhile. I'm planning to bring it to Australia for study purposes next year so international warranty would be a plus (though I doubt shits actually spoils within their warranty period unless you're unlucky). Study use should be not a problem if the laptop can support the above intention since I'm mostly relying heavily on multi tab browsing and word for assignments.

Then again, cuz I plan to use to in the university, best would be if its portable but I wanna maximize my movie experience so I'm looking for a 15.6" laptop. 17" would be too big and bulky.

Budget is RM2k if possible but can go up to RM2.5k since I plan to trade in that netbook i got for the streamyx promotion last year (if anyone know the resell value or trade in value, your input will be much appreciated).

You won't have warranty coverage for refurbished units.. Not sure whether there will be reliability issues or not as well...
I would suggest you to go for the base unit of the Alienware M14x (original from Dell). You don't really need an i7 if you're into gaming. And the 3GB GT555m doesn't bring about any performance gain compared to the 1.5GB GT555m

or perhaps you can consider getting a much better Asus G53Sx

well...it got the warranty coverage from dell for 1 year...actually i wan to buy it for doing 3d and using some software like autodesk maya and zbrush....shud i get it? =(

1 year warranty only for an Alienware?
Anyway, the Asus G53Sx would be the better pick:
Asus G53Sx-S1208v, i7-2670QM + Nvidia GTX560M (2GB) + 1920x1080 (anti-glare)@RM3999, backlit keyboard, gaming backpack & mouse, 2 years international warranty

Same CPU, more powerful GPU, FullHD Resolutionm backlit keyboard and 2 years international warranty hehe, its the better choice; but its larger and heavier la

Any gaming laptop 14" suggestion below 2k budget ? Prefer Acer , Thanks

Asus A43TA-VX047v, AMD A6-3400M + AMD HD6720 G2@RM1899
Unless you can find notebook with GT540M at below RM2K..

Anyone ?

Don't think netbook nowadays have s-video. VGA still got.
What size netbook you considering? 10'' ? 11'' ? 12''?
11''-12'' has the better performance but more expensive as well.
Budget ?

does anyone have an idea how much will the Asus N55SF price will drop next year in may? (just guess)

devour already said N55SF EOL

Like to get a new laptop
Any brand will do..
Price RM2500 and below..
For college use & can game smoothly on med specs (Fifa12, NFS The Run...)
Resolution doesn't matter..

Best in the range please..
Thank you
