becuz he specifically asked for 14"?

1. Preferred Brand = no
2. Budget = <2200
3. Usage = medium gaming, homework
4. Preferred laptop/screen size = 15'

Well.. because out of the box, it ain't that great. You gonna need to play with the settings/drivers, undervolt, overclock CPU and GPU to show it extra potentials.

I'm not good at explaining.

Acer Aspire 5560G-8354G50MN, AMD A8-3500 + AMD HD6740 G2@RM1899[2.6kg], Dirt 3 game voucher <--- recommended

Dell Inspiron 15R, i3-2330M + GT525M@RM1999
Dell Inspiron 15R, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT525M@RM2299

oh...

btw between Dv6 and GE620DX gpu, which 1 better?
without beat headset, both hav about same spec&price..

say it simply, Llano has the potential to outperform any current platforms as far as general gaming performance is concerned... but for ACF the key lies in optimization on the games side... no optimization = as good as using 1 GPU only... but if optimized well HD6775G2 can even outperform GTX 460M...

with such a low price and such performance, even without ACF it's pretty much worth the money...

as for the dv6 u re talking abt, no, there's no dv6z... HP's Llano models are still marketed as normal dv6... seen them in Aus here before...

Added on September 22, 2011, 8:31 pmpretty much which graphic camp u re more comfortable with...

both GPU are at the same performance lvl...

tht is it 101 center.. laptop i think ok ba.. i know if customize rig very over price

1. Preferred Brand = No
2. Budget = <1500
3. Usage = Light entertainment, Web surfing and publishing, basic docs editing
4. Preferred laptop/screen size = 11.6 & above

Assuming you would want a 14" for 11.6" and above. Larger screen would be better for doc editing [also assuming you would want Windows-installed system ]
14"
Asus A43Sj, Pentium B940 + Nvidia GT520M@RM1599, W7S; FreeDOS@RM1499 *2 years international warranty
Dell Inspiron 14 (N4050), B940 + Intel HD3000@RM1549
Lenovo G470, B940 + Intel HD3000@RM1499
Toshiba Satellite C640-1023U, P6200 + Intel HD@RM1399, W7HP, 2nd & 3rd year warranty
Toshiba Satellite C640-1050U, B940 + Intel HD3000@RM1599

what is ACF?

i prefer Asus A43TA-VX019V more, over Acer Aspire 4755G-2432G50 as recommended by forumer here.

can u comment on this.

Asynchronous CrossFire

woo..meaning this laptop has dual GPU but not same type?

google up..and found this

http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD...G2.57274.0.html

thanks bro..

You might want to have a look at Acer 4250, Toshiba NB500D and ASUS K43U... these are lower spec than what bro PF TJ recommended though.
More or less same as Hybrid Crossfire?

combination of a dedicated Radeon HD 6720M and a 6620G APU graphics card (found in the AMD 3400M CPU).
correct me if i am wrong.

Hybrid CrossFire is different... in this mode either the dGPU or iGPU is running at any given time... the max performance u get is wat the dGPU is capable of... however Hybrid CrossFire is a subset of Asychronous CrossFire...

Asynchronous CrossFire means both the dGPU and fGPU are running together in standard CrossFire mode to achieve higher performance than the dGPU alone...

but unlike normal (or Synchronous) CrossFire, which usually has 2 GPU of the same model (and thus same amount of SP, same memory bandwidth, same memory type), Asynchronous CrossFire has 2 GPU of different models and SP count... eg HD6755G2 = HD6620G (400SP, 128-bit DDR3 shared) + HD6750M (480SP, 128-bit GDDR5)

also unlike normal CrossFire, if u use 2 GPU of different model, the better GPU will be limited by the worse off (think of the situation when u ve RAM of different speed running together), but for Asynchronous CrossFire it seems that both GPU are performing at full capacity...

Though

More/less i can brain this + eg from two ram diff speed.
Thank bro. Pro la U..

Can U list down advantages tis APU system(make it simple as we all can brain)?
1 iinm is low power usage...

For Llano only

The good:
- cheap, high performance/cost ratio
- integrated graphic (or fGPU as AMD calls it) that can smoke any low end GPU in the market
- low power consumption (iirc A8 has longer battery life than Core i7)

The bad:
- medicore CPU performance
- ACF highly dependent on optimization

In a nut shell:
for those who wants mainstream graphic performance but on a tight budget, and those looking for a multimedia machine

llano..... for those that hav less thatn 2k budget.. but wants to hav a gaming rig at the price of 2.5k?

Not really applicable liao since there are RM1.9k laptops with GT540m and SB i5 already
