Hey guys! New here~ I've been looking around for a new lappy. First, I went to Dell but left after finding out that their XPS 15 has some major fan problems (looks bulky and ugly too)... Then, I went to Asus at the recommendation of a friend only to find that they don't want to make any money since their website doesn't wanna show me any of their laptops whatsoever... Error this, problem that After that, I found HP and when looking for their laptop's reviews I found this pretty cool thread

Anyways, I'm looking for a laptop that can decently play today's games. I have the Pavilion dv6-6c12TX in my mind right now... What do you think guys? Is it any good? Recommend something else? I saw some of Acid's videos playing Crysis 2 and BF3 with his laptop and they were pretty amazing The 6c12TX I believe is newer than his right? So it should play equally or even a little bit better than his? Please advice me masters and sifus

Also guys, which method would be cheaper? Buying online or at shops? Lets just say I'm kinda new to living in MY but I have heard that Low Yat Plaza is THE place to get electronics? Is that true? Reading through this whole thread last night (I dunno why the hell I did that, guess you guys are awesome) I see that some of you got lappys for the same price as the prices in HP website but got extras like extended warranty? How is that possible? Haha the people can make money like that meh?

One last thing guys (sorry for this post being too long ). Ummm I'm also looking for a Full HD external monitor around 20" - 25"... Price range preferably RM500 and below. If can below RM400 even better haha~ Any recommendations? Thanks in advance sifus

Thanks



Haha this may be my first HP laptop and this comment boosts my confidence to get one

The reason I want an external full HD screen is because I wanna use it on both my laptop and Xbox 360 haha so don't think need to find the 6168tx haha.

Hmmm reasons for aiming the 6c12tx over the 6c19tx:
- +1 GB GDDR5 dedicated sounds awesome~
- Already has 8GB RAM which is what I want
- +0.2GHz processing power doesn't hurt

Turnoff:
-I don't need that 1TB HD space. Even 500GB is kinda a lot for me. Rather have a smaller 7200rpm HD or maybe even consider SSD like you said...

So, if you don't think that the extra 1GB dedicated is necessary then I'd happily use the money saved to get a 6c19tx + SSD and 8GB RAM. This a good idea?

BTW, any advice on which buying method is better? Online or stores? And if stores, where? Low Yat? And oh, that external monitor too

Thanks again!

Thanks man But using an external Full HD monitor to game doesn't count is it?

Thanks for the advice And thanks to the others too! Seems like the 6c19tx is the laptop for me~ Imma get it as soon as possible and officially join this cool little band of laptop owners

Will do!



Aite! Cool!

Wooooo got my 6c19tx Loving it so far!

Sifu Vincent, I want a set up similar to yours (but Xbox 360 instead of PS3). Thanks for the monitor recommendations but they are somewhat pricey especially since I just bought the 6c19TX haha Do you know of any cheaper (but still good) ones? Large viewing angle is not necessary and oh yeah, full HD please. And may I ask what external speakers are you using or what do you recommend?

By the way, without the external speakers, there will still be sound output from the laptop when connected to an external monitor right? Sorry for the noobness Thanks in advance

Thanks for the advice and info =) Haha well my room is very small (hostel) so that's why I think its not that important But yeah, there's nothing wrong with getting something 'extra'



Welcome to the family man =D Sifu Acid, you can add me whenever you're not busy

Can vouch that too. Was kinda confused when people mentioned other options besides the 'on/off'

Same =)
