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?

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

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

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 thumbup.gif

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 smile.gif
Whether the laptop runs smooth or not depends on how you manage your stuffs inside? laugh.gif
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 hmm.gif

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

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

You could always delete them bloatwares laugh.gif

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

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 nod.gif

since i have a gaming pc at home, i'll be using the zenbook when im outstation, doing presentation and for work. nth too intense but i dont mind if paying $200 or rm500 more for more future proof if its worth it.

i'll be getting either i5 or i7 with 128 ssd. i'll do with the 128gb ssd given since the zenbook has a usb 3.0 port. im thinking to get a usb3.0 500gb external hard drive for rm250. is it a wise move ? cheap but much more storage and decent transfer speed.

btw, just wondering can the on board graphic of either i5 or i7 sufficient to support casual games like pes2012 just to keep me entertained occasionally. =)

ULV processors ain't meant to be future prove haha laugh.gif
I doubt the Intel HD3000 in the ZenBook would be able to handle PES2012 laugh.gif

Hi,

Can anyone suggest me that among HP Pavilion dv6-6c19TX , Asus N53Sn-SX269v , and MSI GE620DX-FHD, which 1 is the best for gaming, entertainment streaming (watching movie & listening music), and have better screen display (with HD screen)? If i wan to connect the laptop to a 24" lcd TV or monitor, which 1 can handle better i.e provide / process the graphic better on the TV/monitor?

Or other than the 3 models mentioned above, do u guys have better suggestion with the budget rm3500?

Thank u.

Not very sure about the performance of the AMD Radeon HD 7690M XT, need to wait for reviews and benchmarks 1st laugh.gif
The MSI GE620-DX is good in a sense that it offers Full HD screen...

The HP Pavilion dv6-6c19TX doesnt come with HD screen?

If i get the msi and connect it to a 24" monitor, can it handle the graphic well in a bigger resolution screen? Coz my concern is the msi gpu oni using ddr3 ram instead of ddr5..
*
HD = 1366x768, HD+ = 1600x900, Full HD = 1920x1080
Most notebooks come with at least HD resolution.

The DDR3 version of the GT555m is better than the DDR5 one iinm... Don't think the GPU can handle it... I doubt the HP can handle gaming on Full HD resolution as well

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).

Hey guy, is it worth to buy a Dell Refurnished?Any problem exist?
It's a alienware M14x with the spec below:
i7-2670QM + Nvidia GT555M(3.0GB)+ 8gb ram

It costs me RM3800...any1 experience problem with dell refurnished?

Thanks guy!

Its "refurbished" laugh.gif
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 nod.gif

or perhaps you can consider getting a much better Asus G53Sx brows.gif

1 year warranty only for an Alienware? laugh.gif
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 laugh.gif
