I would say best bet is go for Alienware m17x R2 or other Sager NP9170.
*
Why you asking him to buy the alienware m17x r2 when r4 version is out?at least the r3 version is ok la..and xxxcriminal once posted here that his budget max is rm4500..the sager np9170 is rm 5399

Or just go for Lenovo Y580. Similar specs with G55. Gtx 660m, ivy bridge processor, and FHD and not to mention its much cheaper compared to G55. laugh.gif

http://www.laptopreviews.com/lenovo-ideapa...nounced-2012-01
no news yet.  smile.gif

The y580 is a good option but it is only 1 hdd bay and the msata port, same like g55.and the price is wrong,, how can the y480 and y580 have same price?

Dont take the price from there. That is probably just an estimation. Well i'm saying its cheaper because the Lenovo y570 comes with the price of rm3.5-3.6k. I'm sure the y580 will come with that price as well. Newer laptops usually replace the older ones with the same price. Just like the G53 to G55. I'm currently trying to get this laptop for my gf. Better deal if compared to the shitty N56 with gt630m gpu  doh.gif

The only positive thing i can get from the G55 is probably the matte screen and 4slots of RAM laugh.gif
*
matte screen and 4slots of RAM..other else than this, the g55 has 4 usb 3.0 ports..for your girlfriend,this lenovo y580 is better than the bleddy useless N56...for you,stick with the g55 tongue.gif

eventhough the lenovo y580 has similar specs compared to the g55..based on my opinion, i tink that it is not suitable for heavy gaming like the g55...g55 has excellent cooling system while the lenovo i dont know la.


edit: the webcam of the y580 is only 1 megapixel( very bad)

MAX RM5,000.00 ... I know alienware is definetely out.
*
you can only get the alienware m14x only at rm4899 one model..but the specs is lower than the g55 and it is rm900 more than the g55-s1095v..the alienware has only gt650m gpu and 14 inch hd screen only..i suggest you to dont buy the alienware..stick with the g55

but normal dell laptops like the inspiron?? hmmm..the specs are also low compared to the g55 and the price is damn expensive

basically..wat im trying to say is that the highest spec laptop you can get from dell is the alienware m14x at rm 4899, which the spec is lower than the g55vw at rm 3999..so it is not worth it to buy a dell laptop(unless your budget is more, then you can buy the m17x at rm 7799)

but you said your budget is 5000 right? your can get the g55vw 3d model at rm 4999..if you dont like 3d and dont use the bluray drive, then just get the non 3d version at rm 3999 only..currently it is the best laptop with the highest spec with price tag of rm 4000, then you can use the extra rm1000 to buy accessories.

dont get me wrong as dell produces good laptops, only that is expensive with lower specs for rm5000 max smile.gif

Actually, the only reason i'm still sticking with the G55 is the stealth design tongue.gif but what i'm having now is just a delusional thoughts. It's like being stranded on an island without any food and water. You're bound to think things tongue.gif tongue.gif so if my G55 havent arrive by this week.. i may even consider getting anything that is a laptop.
tongue.gif good not to think about it
I cant think of anything that is below 5k. But i know a few that is slightly above ur current max budget.

Msi gt60

15.6 Full HD Anti-Glare (1920*1080) LED
nVidia GeForce GTX670M, 1.5GB GDDR5
Intel Ivy Bridge i7-3610QM
DDR III 4GB+4GB+1 slot empty+ 1 slot Empty (TOTAL 16GB MAX)
750GB (SATA) 7200rpm + Empty ( 2 HDD SLOT)
Super Multi
Intel Jackson Peak N2230 (2*2 b/g/n)+BT4.0
Win7 Home Premium
6 cell Battery


you may have to stretch a lil for this baby, its around 5.3-5.4k. But work on your bargaining skills and see what you can get.

or

Sager np 9150

the specs are customizable. But the custom specs in http://www.illegear.com/sager/16-sager-np9150.html is already good for what it is. Rm5199.

none of the Dell laptops (besides the Alienware) interest me, price and specs are just mehhh. But they really do have excellent after sales service. That has to be said.

Hahahaha, good luck bro. Hopefully this time, no more faulty laptop for you and for the rest of us here.

And thinking back again, i doubt the new lenovo y580 will come with the GTX660m gpu  hmm.gif most probably GT 650m.
They expected the y480 to come with the GT650m, but it comes with 640m instead. But i heard there may be a variation to the y480 models. So it'll come with either the gt640 or gt650.  hmm.gif  hmm.gif

Hai Bro/Sifu,  is the america/europe model ok?
*
shouldnt be a problem as asus has international warranty...the only thing im afraid is that ASUS service center IN MALAYSIA MIGHT cause problems if you buy the europe model..tengok tengok they say cannot service cause europe model etc etc etc..i dont know what the asus malaysia will react to this case..

http://promos.asus.com/us/2012GSeries/

take a look at link above, the asus g55vw-ds71 is there..it has a massive 12gb ddr3 ram( a big advantage over the malaysia model) but the hdd is only 750gb(1000gb in g55vw-s1095v) but it is 7200rpm hdd (5400rpm hdd only in the g55vw-s1095)..so the europe model should be faster than the malaysia model..

to confirm with the service center in malaysia..do like what i did with my g55vw-s1095v..before i purchasedit, i ask seller the serial no of the g55 im going to buy..with the serial no, i called asus hotline and ask them to verify the serial no whether it can be serviced ornot in the future and whether it is ori or not..after conformation then only i buy the g55vw..

iF GOT NO PROBlem WITH SERVICE CENTER and they can verify serial no, THEn G55 EUROPE MODEL ...IT IS ok..infact, it is much faster than malaysia model due to massive ram and faster hdd

so get serial number from seller and make a call to asus malaysia hotline smile.gif

As of Saturday, there are only 2 units left at Gadgetzone main office. I think its the one at Midlands Park, Penang. They're supposed to be the European model but only 4GB RAM. According to the tech, its the same specs as the G55VW-S1095V but I could be wrong. Also, no freebies such as bag, extra RAM ect.
I've already asked them to email me the specs but haven't gotten a reply yet. If anyone has bought one from Gadgetzone, do let us know.
Thanks.

it can't be..all is preinstalled with 12gb ddr3 ram, i mean the european model( g55vw-ds71)...unless it is a totally different model..ask them the full specs and THE FULL MODEL IF THIS PARTICULAR LAPTOP THEY SELLING...

to confirm with the service center in malaysia..do like what i did with my g55vw-s1095v..before i purchased it, i ask seller the serial no of the g55 im going to buy..with the serial no, i called asus hotline and ask them to verify the serial no whether it can be serviced or not in the future and whether it is ori or not..after conformation then only i buy the g55vw..

iF GOT NO PROBlem WITH SERVICE CENTER and they can verify serial no, then only get it bro..SO YOU NEED TO ASK HIM THE SERIAL NO TOO, for verification purpose

good..this is the final point whether you r going to buy it or not..if asus malaysia can verify it, then you got no problem buying it, no matter what model it is. ....if cannot verify, then forget about this model..

hopefully asus malaysia can verify it..also, once the shop emailed you, do post the model and specs here just for the members of this forum to get some knowledge smile.gif.

i AWAIT YOUR REPLY smile.gif smile.gif

lowyat members said it was 1600
TechHypermart reply me that  This was 1066Ghz 1pc 4GB Ram.

someone in jbtalks post this
user posted image
i think that user add on a 1333 4GB that why it show 1333 and 1600 total 8GB ?

how come a same model S1095V will come with different spec? lol
*
the list by asus is wrong..techypermart also say wrong.;IT IS DEFINITELY 1600mhz, look at the asus product guide magazine, and my laptop, tomato and eggs laptop, and fussylogic laptop all has 1600mhz ram..and yes, that user add additional 1333mhz ram, like what i did(1600mhz ram hard to find in shops) .fussylogic bought from techypermart..most probably the techypermart guy didnt check properly the specs..

ONCE AGAIN THE G55VW-S1095V HAS DDR3 1600 4GB RAM..THANKS smile.gif

The cooler pad is just additional and i not needed actually but the cooler master motepal x3 is damn cool the looks and suit the g55 well..and it reduced the laptop bottom temp slightly..i suggest you to buy the cooler master x3 due to the big fan, blue led light, and stealth look

just look at the looks of it..nice...

do your portfolio in your desktop la..or do in internet cafe...dont put the g55 as an alasan for cancelling your uni application..university is much more important

the news from asus hotline actually..she told me that the 2nd batch is very big number due to high demand..she also told me the the g55 is the most demanding asus rog laptop in malaysia campored to all the other asus rog laptops before.

i bought for rm95..the led only blue colour..but got switch to off the led, to off the fan when not in use and to adjust speed of fan..there are other cooler pad there, but based on my opinion, the x3 has the best looks

eventhough the x3 is nice and powerful..there is another more powerful cooler master cooler pad..the cooler master storm sf-19 strike force
