Hi guys, currently looking for a notebook that equipped with good / high raw processing power. Am eying on Lenovo Y470 since can get it within budget in garage sales, I just wonder is there any other alternative for comparison.

1. Preferred Brand - Any will do but will prefer with good after sales services (eg. Dell) but processing power come first.

2. Budget - Below RM2.5k

3. Usage - Mostly on music software composing, editing. Light gaming perhaps.

4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 13'' - 14'' if possible.
*
The Lenovo Y470 is already a very good pick, just make sure you know what you are getting in Garage Sales yea (some say the RM2.5k ones are refurbished units)

Some others, not as good though:
Lenovo V470, i7-2630QM + Intel HD3000@RM2599
Samsung 3 series, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT520MX@RM2699, colors: Black/Silver

Hi guys, noob here...first post somemore...need your recommendation....

1. Preferred Brand - Nothing in particular...
2. Budget - below 3K
3. Usage - training presentation, HD movie viewing during travelling or transit at airport, heavy downloading, RTS gaming but a bit outdated, usually C&C3, maybe going for C&C4.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14"

Thanks in advance guys...

Hello currently I'm looking at Asus U32U. Isit good? I can't find much info bout it.

My usage will be mainly for uniwork, surfing, and movie. prefer the sleek design and battery level.

any other recommendation that suit my usage? thanks!
*
Not much info on it because its still new hehe~

Anyway, the direct competitor would be the
MSI X370, AMD E-450 + AMD HD6320M@RM1699[1.3kg], W7HP, 2 years warranty

Personally I believe the Asus U32u would be the better pick considering the MSI is rather glossy..

Oh no wonder. coz i just saw it in the asus product guide but cannot find much info even in Asus website. =.=

Anyway in term of hardware wise I think both got the same one? use AMDE450 and HD6320.

what I should put in consideration between that 2 only the outlook I guess? biggrin.gif
*
Yeap, both with same specs~
If I remembered correctly, the MSI x370 we get here in Malaysia doesn't have an 8-cell battery, which is a big drawback compared to the Asus.

Yeah, more or less outlook, comfort and user-friendliness~ nod.gif

Hello, Someone please help.

which is better between these two laptops.

ASUS A53SV-SX791V intel Core i5-2430M (2.24GhZ, Turbo up to 3.0GHz) 750GB SATA HDD Nvidia GT 540M - 1GB @ RM2350

and

DELL Inspiron 15r intel core i7-2670QM (2.20Ghz - 3.10GHz) 500GB SATA HDD 7200rpm Nvidea Geforce GT525M - 1GB. @2400 (Dell student purchase program).
I need the laptop for surfing the web/ online streaming, Flash CS5 and Adobe CS5.
I also use eclipse and some SDKs..

Thanks.

One more thing.. Would there be a PC fair this Christmas?
*
If you're not into gaming, i guess the Inspiron 15r is the better pick~ Apart from the relatively more powerful CPU, it also has a faster HDD

The A53 wins though, in terms of HDD capacity and graphic card...

after lurking this thread from October, i need recommendation to buy new laptop.

i'm a frequent traveler. i already have my company thinkpad x210 but it's for official usage. can play games with it. so i'm looking for a good enough laptop to play just Football Manager and Fifa,PES with highest setting. it must be light, no more than 2.5kg. coz i'll bring 2 laptops for my travelling. most of the time will use it for watching HD movies. but i love gaming too! sigh ~

- if can get FHD or HD+ screen should be better.

budget max around 3.5k

plan to get one after new year break.
any comment or suggestions are welcome.

Preferred screen size? hmm.gif
If 15"
then can consider Dell XPS 15z, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT525M (1GB) + (1920x1080)@RM3499[2.51kg], backlit keyboard

Most 14" laptops within your budget that has HD+ screen resolution doesn't have a good GPU unfortunately sad.gif

15.6" only 2.4kg? mine already 2.7kg wor. tan ji if no mistake is true. cos i read the star newspaper got stated there for FHD but never stated the price. w/o FHD 3,099 add RM 200 FHD should be around that price.

Hmm, but 2.4kg seems quite light don't you think? haha...
I'm surprised that the XPS 15z which is built to be light to be more than 2.5kg laugh.gif
Anyway, 2.7kg is usually normal for 15 inchers, my previous Qosimo F60 was around that weight also (lighter than my M14x brows.gif)

if MSI GE620-FHD is 2.4kg, then this one should be in my shortlist.

screen size 14inch doesnt have good GPU, as long can play fifa or pes should be ok. i've put aside my dream to play heavy games.  cry.gif  cry.gif

More like, it doesn't have a dGPU laugh.gif
So I guess you can just cross 14" laptops with HD+ resolution out... unless you are willing to wait for the Samsung 7 series (which we're not sure whether its coming or not)/ go for 15" laptops nod.gif
