Yalo =(
But now they usually discount RM100, now RM2.2k+
Just wanna to find is there any model more worth
*
The Asus A53Sv you should be able to get at around RM2.1k if you bargain nod.gif
Its worth the additioanal money considering that the other sub RM2k 15" laptops come with GT525M only, which is significantly weaker than the GT540M~ hmm.gif

OO =D Thanks for the feedback.
But what I scare is the temperature of Nvidia gc. I encounter overheat problem with nvidia gc for my last laptop. A bit scare to buy laptop with nvdia gc
*
It all depends on the design of the laptop itself, since its a 15" laptop, it should theoretically run cooler, so far there's no overheating issues for the A53Sv, and mind you, it has been around for quite some time liao (only different in specs)~
I guess its safe to say that the A53Sv is the perfect pick at the moment~ nod.gif

Hello it's me again. Apparently I decided to increase my budget to get a better laptop.

The factors that I'm still considering are the portability and performance.
Portability wise it should be below 14" and below 2kg.
Performance wise just enough to do normal activities like surfing, movies, words, etc. gaming is not a priority.
The budget will 2.5k and below.

The one i'm considering now is acer aspire s3. Isit a good buy?

Thank you.
*
Even though it doesn't perform that well compared to all the other ultrabooks, the S3 is still the only ultrabook within the budget range... so if you like it, then why not?
Just try not to expect too much in terms of performance as well as entertainment (speakers) laugh.gif
It was built with only one thing in mind - portability smile.gif

Oh thanks for the feedback. I think it can perform what I need? as for speakers I think it will not be a big problem coz I got a portable speaker as well haha biggrin.gif
And yea it suit my budget well.

What worried me is the build and quality of the laptop. Have you heard of any common problems or issues of it? and as for as I know the battery is not detachable, so will it be a problem in a long run?

Well, reviews all say that Acer has "Cut too many corners" for this particular ultrabook and its not good... its up to you to decide whether you would want it or not nod.gif
Here are the reviews (spec may differ):

Well. I guess you get what you paid for? biggrin.gif So I guess there is no other option in my budget rite? Should go and try out the machine itself. Thank you so much

If you want ultrabook, then yes, there's no other options..
If you want subnotebook, then that's a different story brows.gif

i wanna ask is there big differences between intel and AMD processors?
*
Difference in what?
If you're looking for gaming performance within that budget range, AMD is the way to go since gaming depends more on the GPU rather than the CPU~
But then the processing power is not as good compared to a normal SB Intel i3/ i5...

hi all, want to buy a laptop for my brother.

1. Preferred Brand NO
2. Budget rm2000 max not even a single penny more
3. Usage study. the only game he plays is fifa. thats not the point anyway, most important is battery life without sacrificing peformance. a well balance laptop (something like timeline series from acer with a dedicated graphic card, a normal voltage cpu and 6 hours battery life will be awesome. i know its over 2k, so im asking if theres a similar recommended one below 2k)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size 14 and below. dun think theres any good 15 one below 2k.
*
QUOTE(quest_5692 @ Jan 2 2012, 03:02 PM)
so any recommendation for sub 2k laptop?
*
None that fits your requirements at least sad.gif
Closest:
Acer Aspire 4752G-2432G50, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT520M@RM1899, 3 years local limited warranty
Asus A43Sj, i3-2330M + Nvidia GT520M@RM1999[2.44kg], Colors:Red/Blue/Pink/Green/Gold/Black
MSI CX480X, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT520M@RM1999, W7HP, 3 years warranty
Lenovo G470, i5-2430M + AMD HD6370M@RM1999, W7HP
Samsung RV420, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT520M@RM1999
Toshiba Satellite L745-1138X, i3-2330M + Nvidia GT525M@RM1999[2.14kg], 2nd & 3rd year warramty; color: Grace silver

If can fork out a little bit more, these would be relatively better (prices in RRP, can bargain):
