sadly today, my 5 yo needs to retire liao, haizzzz

after 1 day of working fine, i thought it is ok, but then...



i will be going to lowyat to try out the A45SA liao... any trusted seller there? or here? need to get by this week end liao.

it is really tempting to get n45 or n55 with the gt555m, but still not sure about the resolution, or would i even need that high end of graphic !? not to mention the sager 5165 FHD, screw it, must jaga wallet first


for my old lappy, can i take out the harddisk and use as external? the window system inside can i like delete it and just use as storage?

for 14"
acer
Aspire 4750Z, Pentium B950 + Intel HD3000@RM1299, FreeDOS; RM1499, W7HP, 3 years warranty, Yes Go 4G Dongle (3.5GB), Trend Micro 2011(1 year 3 users)

Aspire 4755G-2432G50, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT540M@RM1899, 2GB, 500GB; 3 years local warranty

Asus
A43E, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM1649[2.44kg], FreeDOS
A43Sj, Pentium B940 + Nvidia GT520M@RM1599, W7S; FreeDOS@RM1499

toshiba
Satellite C640-1050U, B940 + Intel HD3000@RM1499, 2nd & 3rd year warranty
Satellite L745-1137U, i3-2330M + Intel HD3000@RM1899[2.14kg], 2nd & 3rd year warranty; color: Grace silver



dont take n45sf.. better take n55sf... because n45 as quoted " updating the BIOS alone won't stop games from lagging. However, BIOS update + disabling Turbo Boost will ensure smoothness, so I guess the problem is partially solved"

better dun take out the hdd as external... dangerous.. jz in case anything happen..

other place than lowyat gt?? if not trust there, try other place. i'm not from KL jz go there for vacation sometimes only... how bout shop inside time square there? there's a lot...

i see, later go lowyat see and feel the machine first, lowyat very near time square, can go see see also. the n55 i5 version priced at 2.8k, i wonder if can reduce further, else i will just get the a43sa, diff 300 hmmmmm. what version of gt555m was it? i heard have A and B or something like that? got difference?

anyway my lappy now edy can not display anything, on power just can hear sound, then keep restarting itself, the com shop told me if happen again means the board can not tahan any more not worth to repair 2nd time, cuz if change the chip again need around rm 400 quite expensive oso de... so i just thought rather than the harddisk sit inside i also can not take out the data, if possible i just want to copy things over so i dun nid to prepare all the work all over again

Asus i not sure got official shop like sony or not, just know service centre at imbi, but dunnoe if it actually selling...

is AMD A8 proc is good? just for normal daily usage and occasional gaming?

Thanks pandera999

You might want to have a look at Lenovo G470 too.
Intel i5-2410M + Intel HD3000 + 2GB DDR3 RAM @ ~RM1800 (recent price drop, not sure about the price)
Not sure about A8 but A6 has a much higher battery consumption in idle (about ~22W) compared to my laptop (~10W) but the graphic performance is absolutely great (for internal graphics)
I have to say that it's great

is AMD laptop is good enough for daily usage and a bit gaming.
it's for travelling. to watch movies, surfing and some gaming.

hey guys n sifus.... help plis~

1. Preferred Brand - Asus/Dell
2. Budget - RM3000-ish
3. Usage - Photo editing/printing
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15" or ++

n55sf i5 version if u want higher reso (900p)

any lappie with i7 on ur mind?

ps: why no info on N55SF at asus website?

Hi, I'd like some suggestions and advice.

1. Preferred Brand - Good service, reliable, Asus, Dell.
2. Budget - Around RM2K
3. Usage - Mobility, entertainment. I rarely play games but I'd like to be able to play when I want to on a HD screen. I'll connect it to a external monitor at home.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - No preference.

Thinking of replacing my desktop AMD Phenom X4 + 6850 for a laptop but I'm kinda doubtful. Currently I'm travelling to and fro uni a lot and so my desktop is left alone sometimes not running also.
When I do use it other than work, it's for web browsing and watch some drama. Kinda wasted..

With ur budget and usage, the n55sf with 900 p display is suit u,
For i 7 with 900 p display, roughly over 3.2k :-)

Hassle free on warranty issue :-)
