so it is better to wait awhile longer if we are not rushing right?

Are you referring to i5 2430M (old one is 2410M) ? The 2430M already out in the store.

^ with 750GB 7200rpm?

Yea..so probably would consider lappy except macs...

how about Asus 14inch Core i7 2.0GHz Notebook (A43SV-VX028V)?

if i have the budget for around rm3k...

last thread u saying i7 is really "makan battery"..then this asus will very makan battery as well??

but i wish to get lappy can last for at least 4 years...if i lucky...

Yeah, the one with i5-2430M

Added on October 11, 2011, 11:45 amAny laptop with i7, especially the quad core version will have short battery life, regardless of brand
For a budget of RM3k, this would be the better pick:
Lenovo Y470, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT550M@RM2999[JBL]

If you ask me, just extend the warranty to 3 years (or 4 years if available), at least that way you can be sure it'll last that long
Asus laptops come with 2 years international warranty as standard. Though you could extend the warranty if you want, its more costly than other brands if I'm not mistaken...

so far for this LENOVO has any heat issue? serious i really want change my prejudice
to ASUS n LENOVO liao...since Lowyat Forum pros all recomment them...
and for ASUS extend warranty is how much per year wo? i think 3 years warranty is enough liao ba

According to Batusai sifu, there's no heat issues. Just need to extend warranty to 3 years for a peace of mind
Not sure about the price for warranty extension of Asus laptops, you may need to contact Asus Malaysia for more details

Haha ...alright...thanks you so much for the info!!
after i buy the new "baby" will upload to LOWYAT and share the joy

Grats in advance on your purchase~
I'm sure the Y470 will serve you well

1. Preferred Brand - Any, don't mind
2. Budget - 2k, 1k or below
3. Usage - college assignment
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - light, easy to carry to col netbook?

11.6-12 inchers perhaps, these are more or less in between in terms of portability/ user-friendliness/power



Personally I would go for the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge e120

1. Preferred Brand - any brand
2. Budget - 2-3K
3. Usage - web surfing, watching hd video, document editing, light gaming (if possible),
4. Battery life - more than 3 hours
5. Preferred laptop/screen size - 11'-13'+

To all bros, I'm currently targeting Acer Aspire s3 which already available in Malaysia. Is there any other options?

S3 is not suitable for light gaming
You might wanna consider these instead:
13"
Asus U36Sd-RX084v, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT520M@RM2999[1.78kg]; USB3.0 external OD, Asus optical mouse
Dell Vostro 3350, i5-2430M + AMD HD6490@RM2636[2.04kg], W7HB, backlit keyboard, Belkin HDMI cable, Belkin Radius 15.6" Backpack

fine. i will quit my thirst for gaming in return for mobility. forget the preference for light gaming bro. Pls suggest any other ultra books alternatives besides S3

how bout this
asus 14" U46Sv-WX023v, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2999[2.14kg]; USB3.0, Asus optical mouse
not that heavy

after complaining on asus, they say they would replace a notebook for me.. or change to another laptop..
my current 1 is asus K43TA aka A43TA liano model..
but now got prob and in repair process..after i keep rush them, they agree and try to let me choose..later phone them again
btw what model should i choose to be par with the liano model?
Asus which model? i may top up abit.. maybe price of laptop that between
2k + a little bit.. give me a feel model of asus

btw where to check our global warranty for asus? izzit press the warranty extend there then will list all product warranty that we register to asus?
