QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Oct 9 2011, 06:20 PM) Ultrabooks then aspire s3 loses out on the u36 in terms of gaming power only right? Currently there's only one in the market: Acer Aspire S3, i5-2467M + Intel HD3000@RM2599[1.35kg] More are set to come though, Asus UX series, Toshiba Portege Z830, Lenovo's ultrabooks etc. |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Oct 11 2011, 08:57 AM) 3830Tg is still very common bro so it is better to wait awhile longer if we are not rushing right?Its 3820Tg that's hard to find haha Added on October 11, 2011, 8:58 am 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) |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Oct 24 2011, 04:45 PM) Depends on what type of laptop you want? how much is n55sf thicker compare to v470??The higher resolution screen in the N55sf would come in handy if you're into designing~ The GT555m of the N55sf is also way better than the IntelHD3000 of the V470... The V470 has a lot of processing power, and wins in terms of portability |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Nov 17 2011, 10:43 PM) There are many 15" Sager models, it all depends on which laptop you like more, and of course, your budget bro thanks for your list, makes it a lot easier for me to compare. Sager Configure Sager units here: http://www.illegear.com/ NP5160, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT540M + (1600x900)@RM2599, FreeDOS [CPU Options: i5-2410M - i7-2860QM] NP5165, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT555M + (1920x1080)@RM3199, FreeDOS [CPU Options: i5-2410M - i7-2860QM] NP8130, i5-2430M + Nvidia GTX560M + (1600x900)@RM3654, FreeDOS [CPU Options: i5-2410M - i7-2860QM] NP8130, i5-2430M + Nvidia GTX560M + (1920x1080)@RM4099, FreeDOS [CPU Options: i5-2410M - i7-2860QM] NP8150, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GTX560M + (1920x1080)@RM4899, FreeDOS [CPU Options: i7-2630M - i7-2960XM] NP8150-S1, i7-2630QM + AMD HD6990M + (1920x1080)@RM6369, FreeDOS [CPU Options: i7-2630M - i7-2960XM] [GPU options: GTX485M, GTX580M] NP3250, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT520M@RM2499, FreeDOS [CPU Options: i5-2410M - i7-2760QM] so if lets say im going for NP8130, i5-2430M + Nvidia GTX560M + (1920x1080)@RM4099, FreeDOS [CPU Options: i5-2410M - i7-2860QM], does it mean this is the most value of money laptop out there ? |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Nov 17 2011, 11:15 PM) Not really sure whether the GTX560m on the Sager is crippled or not, probably not haha crippled gtx560m means inferior to the sager 1?The G53Sx is cheaper though at RM4k with i7 and Full HD as well (according to lee_what sifu)  But it does have a crippled GTX560M though ... |
