Yeah, the i5 variant of the N55sf is pretty much the best at the moment
You might wanna wait out for the newer ones with refreshed processors, which is coming real soon (if not already) 

wait for ivy? 

Err.... I was referring to the Sandy Bridge processor refresh, not Ivy Bridge

looking for a laptop for:

- visual studio 10
- IBM rsa
- coding
- torrenting
- some games
- music, video

currently put my eyes on:
- Dell XPS 15z
- HP Dv6-6001TX
- Asus N53SN / N43SL

budget <rm3.5k. anymore recommendation? much appreciate     

hello

1.asus dell acer msi

2.rm2500

3.programming and gaming

4.bigger that 11

Basically i3 >> B940/950 >> E-450 in terms of CPU power
Whether a laptop lasts long or not depends very much on how the user takes care of the laptop; and also a little bit of luck.
If worried about laptop spoiling, its best to go for those that offer free 2nd or 3rd year warranties 

toshiba... XD

1 year international/regional as standard...
or promotional 2nd or 3 years local warranty 

Yeah, its way better than the GT555m in the n55sf 

^ HP rethinks selling PC division

hi...
need help here on choosing my notebook

1. Preferred Brand - Anything (prefer Asus,Dell or Toshiba)
2. Budget - rm2k-2.4k
3. Usage - surf net, watch movie, picture editing, light gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - anything(since wanna get Dell 24' ultra-sharp LCD as external.)

1. Preferred Brand
2. Budget
3. Usage
4. Preferred laptop/screen size

1. Currently looking at Asus as I have tried on Lenovo and Acer. If any other suitable brands that meets my requirement I am glad to know about it too.

2. Budget around RM 3K

3. For software like AutoCAD and games like Civilization V & preparing for DotA 2.

4. 14" and higher. But the weight should not exceed 3kg preferably.

Hope to get replies soon! Btw, I have an eye on Asus N55SF and N53SN-SX269V. I have another question is that i7 core and i5 core is there much different if I am to use the laptop for AutoCAD and games like Civilization & DotA2?

Your kindness is greatly appreciated!

Hi, do you mind telling me where can i get asus n55sf with the price of RM2799?
Thank you!

Asus  N55SF-S2187V (Intel Core i5-2430M) RRP = RM2699

most lowyat shops provide it at 2699 now. can get cheaper if dun take free gift etc....

It seems that the Asus product guide price is almost always RM100 higher than what most ppl are selling...
Looks more like a dirty trick to cheat money to me 

Depends on what you're looking for, if pure performance is what you desire, then go for the HP Dv6 (without Beats) 

If you're worried, extend the warranty to 3 years, its not very expensive
Nope, HP decided to keep its PC division ~
Yeah, AMD HD6770 is better than GT555m in the N55

There's only AMD HD6770m 

Just a typo.. HD6770 can't even fit into laptop.

He lazy to put the M

Alot of "M"s to put in yo haha~
Still, I'll look into it
Thanks thanks~
