too many model fits the bill some stand out model will be n45/55sf. alienware is kind of overkill with the usage. xps 14z should be good, but given the budget, xps15 will be the better option with fullhd+stronger gpu

wow I'm shocked ; never heard of n45/55sf . is it asus brand ? will def research about asus too before make my final decision.

Vostros are quite reliable, do go for extended warranty coverage for peace of mind ya~

1.) any
2.) budget around 3k
(as low as possible, but willing to spend more if it's really needed)

3.) usage : need it to run 3D...modeling, rendering on 3D-max...
4.)any...


*buy a 5k+ laptop direct will fit perfectly into my needs, just...

brand: any
budget: 3.5k
usage: high end game, music, net, movie and working (not graphic design)
screen; must be 15++

so any similar spec that I requested but have better screen resolution..

Pretty much this one: MSI GE620DX-FHD, i7-2670M + Nvidia GT555M + (1920x1080)@RM3299, 8GB, 2 years warranty
Perhaps you can ask devour for the N55sf? But heard that its EOL-ed already

Hi guys!

1. Preferred Brand = Any reliable brand.
2. Budget = RM 1900
3. Usage = Office use, web, HD movies
4. Preferred laptop/screen size = 14 to 15"

A little bit feminine(thin. light) would be a bonus.

Thanks : )

hello,

brand: any reliable brand
budget: rm4000 +/-
usage: high end game, hard core torrent n surfing, music, movies, some office work
screen: full HD, 17" preferably, HD only and smaller screen is ok actually


additionally
- durable, since i move around a lot
- solidly available in malaysia for cash n carry; my acer 6935G is dying and i dont have time to wait for postage


i did check ASUS G53SX-S1208V from december product guide the resolution only 1366x768,
and Qosmio F750-1001X didnt even mention the resolution.


should i go with one of these 2 or any better alternative?

1. Preferred Brand: any reliable brand
2. Budget: 3k
3. Usage: online streaming, general web surfing, music, movies, some office work
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15"to 16'"

additionally
- would prefer to get it without OS - I plan on installing Linux

So far I have pre-selected 3 models.
1- Samsung Serie 7 Chronos 700Z5A but I don't know if it's coming to Msia :/
2- N55SF but I'm a bit lost with the recent upgrade and what not. Also, can it be found without Windows ?
3- dv6-6c19TX with an interesting RM3.1K offer on hp.com.my but it comes bundled with Windows and not too sure about HP brand.

Looking forward to reading feed-back / advices from the sifus browsing this board

14" laptops are more towards thin and light compared to 15" ones~

Lenovo

Added on December 26, 2011, 4:51 pmThe Asus G53Sx (RM3999) comes with FullHD screen, the brochure is wrong
As for the Qosmio, the screen is HD only~

The Asus would be the better pick~
The only competitor is from Sager:
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]

Added on December 26, 2011, 4:55 pmWell, you don't really need a very powerful laptop for your usage
1. No idea when the Series 7 are coming as well
2. Nope, FreeDOS version aren't available
3. The Dv6 would be a good choice, quite a good bargain~

Anyway, can consider these multimedia laptops as well:
Dell XPS 15, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT540M@RM3299 [JBL], upgradeable to FullHD, backlit keyboard customizable
Toshiba Satellite P755-1003X, i7-2670QM + Nvidia GT540M@RM3299[harman/kardon]
Lenovo IdeaPad Y570, i5-2410M +Nvidia GT555M@RM2699[JBL]

Thanks [PF] T.J.

i check the price for samsung 7 series chronos 15" in Australia, the price is dem expensive. $1970. put if minus GST 10%, around $1773.. almost rm 5.5k . the price is now compareable with macbook pro 15"

Its not very surprising actually, especially for Samsung laptops with innovative features, just look at the previous 9 series
Samsung is a rising brand in terms of laptops, hopefully we'll be able to see cheaper laptops in the future, at least around Toshiba pricing levels

can anybody recommend me a good laptop for me with this specs???

1. Preferred Brand: Asus, Dell, HP, Compaq
2. Budget: Around 2.5K
3. Usage: Microsoft Office, HD movies, music and gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 13-15
5. Processor: Intel 2nd Generation i5 or i7
6. Memory: 2-4GB
8. Graphic: Nvidia (2GB if impossible )
