I am using N55SF and I'm pretty satisfied, it's terribly capable

I run StarCraft2 at high n ultra settings it still runs at 50++ fps
Then music ah... the speakers are awesome!

u wan lightweight & good batt life

probably u would need to buy asus u series
or toshiba Portégé R830-

for college use is i5 enough? @kdu games tech

should be more than enough, what apps are you going to run though?

Unity 3D?

i think should be fine, didnt see any too demanding requirement from its official website

All I want for Christmas is V14 haha

from last thread

i still looking for a good 14" with HD+ if there is. samsung 7 series i have waited long time. but i heard the RRP is quite high.
stiil have one week. going to do some reading for MSI laptop first.huhu

How bout if battery life and office use are optional?

Only the U series laptops will have slightly longer battery lives (up to 6-7 hours).. the others are only normal, which is around 3-4 hours...
All are okay for office use and are even capable of mid-level gaming

The Dell Latitude E5420 can be upgraded to HD+ screen, but then it doesn't have a dGPU option And its also rather expensive....

Good Day and Merry Christmas!

I have a query.

How much should this costs? -

Acer Aspire 4740G, i5, 1year and 9 months old

Thanks in advance.

Mind sharing the full specs?

merry x'mas tan ji so free ah? my house can on9 liau.

the lappy should be around 1.7k

Intel Core i5 processor 430M (2.26GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
NVIDIA GeForce 310M Up to 1279 MB TurboCache
14.0'' HD LED LCD
2Gb memory
500 GB HDD
DVD-Super Multi DL drive
Acer Nplify 802.11b/g/n
6 cell Li-ion battery

Since the Nvidia G310M is more or less on par with that of Intel HD3000...
I guess the price is around RM1.5-1.6k, depending on physical conditions as well as remaining warranty duration
