Oh really? I didn't know because people seem to be talking about the CPU. Or rather assuming bad stuff about it. So what about the GPU's that's paired with the IB? Nah, not looking for an ultrabook. Since IB's what's people are talking about, I can wait till it releases. tongue.gif

More info here:
CPU - http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Intel-...rs.73624.0.html
iGPU - http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-HD-Grap...ed.73567.0.html

That's because Ivy Bridge are processors laugh.gif
There is not much performance gain (so far) compared to the Sandy Bridge processors although it doesn consumes less power... its the Intel HD4000 GPU inside that shines actually- about 30% improvement over the current Intel HD3000... Which is a good deal if you're buying ultrabooks/ subnotebooks and you still feel like gaming abit nod.gif

IB is however not that significant if you're looking for a gaming laptop since you won't be using the iGPU anyway laugh.gif
And CPU doesn't really affect gaming performance much, its all down to the GPU; and the new Nvidia/ AMD GPUs are what's really worth waiting for for you hmm.gif

Just my 2 cents~

All the while using company laptop, now it's time to buy my own,
1. Preferred Brand : acer aspire s, the slim one or Mac book air or any similar slim type.
2. Budget : rm3000
3. Usage : for outlook mail
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : does not matter as I connect to monitor

Noob here. If Mac book air, can used all the office stuffs, power point, excel, PDF files etc. as my iPad does not seem to be able to open some of them. For  memory to keep all my mails, can I get an external storage to link all my storage mail. If Mac book is prefer, can I link with normal all in one printer.  Why the above choice, answer is Gaya a bit lah... I had all my company laptop heavy to travel around.

Thanks.

Not really familiar with MBA, but if the printer supports Macs (most do), then I'm sure it can be used...
For Windows-based ultrabooks (equivalent of MBA), can consider these:
13"
HP [Ultrabook] Pavilion dm3-1001TU (Folio 13), i5-2467M + Intel HD3000 + 128GB SSD@RM2999[1.49kg], W7HP

Samsung [Ultrabook] 5 series 530U3B, i5-2467M + Intel HD3000 + (16GB SSD + 500GB [5400rpm])@RM2699[1.45kg], 4GB

hi guys .

1. Preferred Brand = anything

2. Budget = below 1.5k ( i got an ssd crucial m4 at me now)

3. Usage = secondary laptop,blogging, office works

4. Preferred laptop/screen size = below 12 inch and not so heavy <1.5kg?

thank you. smile.gif
*
Just curious, where did you plugged in the M4 in your body? brows.gif
Try to look for this one if possible:
12.5"
Samsung 3 series NP350U2B, i3-2350M + Intel HD3000@RM2099, 4GB, 500GB, W7HP

Earlier versions e.g. i3-2310M version will be around RM1.5k only... at that price, its the most powerful subnotebook at the moment nod.gif

Otherwise, just go for 11.6-12.1" notebooks with AMD E-450~

can anyone kindly confirm that all these 4 model can connect to projector?
what is the different between all these model?
and which one is better?

thank you  notworthy.gif

I'm guessing that what you're trying to ask is about the availability of a VGA port (Since most old projectors only support this type)?

And yes, all the ones you've mentioned confirm have VGA port nod.gif

tenkiu. so any recommendation to choose between these 4 model, pls?

All of them are good picks nod.gif
But if you're using the laptop for work, it'll be better to go for the Vostro 1450 (or you can consider the Vostro V131 [13"] as well)..
The Inspiron series are nicer looking but are less user-friendly- They're glossy and collect dusts and fingerprints fairly easily...

Still, regardless of which one you buy, try to upgrade the warranty to 3 years on-site nod.gif

Hi dude,

I have chosen some of the laptop that I suit me for my architecture and engineering students usage. I prefer use AutoCad and Google Sketchup 3D for my works, HD Streaming and Lite Gaming for entertainment. So I need a better graphics. So I need guys to recommend me which is the best and value.

I would choose a 15.6'' laptop with 2.5k-3.1k budget as below list:

ASUS
1) A53SM-SX019v, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT630M@RM2449, W7HP

2) A53Sv-SX792v, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT540M (2GB)@RM2499, 750GB (7200rpm) USB3.0

3) N55Sl-S2064v, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT635M + (1600x900)@RM2899[Bang & Olufsen], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm)
HP
1) dv6-6c19TX, i7-2670QM + AMD HD7690M XT@RM3099[Beats], 4GB, 750GB (5400rpm)
Toshiba
1) Satellite P755-1003X, i7-2670QM + Nvidia GT540M@RM3299[harman/kardon]
Can tell me what is the different of Graphics performance by Nvidia and AMD?

Thanks =D
*
Better check on whether Nvidia GPUs are better supported by the programs you are using bro nod.gif
Performance-wise:
AMD HD7690M XT > Nvidia GT635M > GT630M = GT540M

You'll gain significant performance boost if you opt for an i7 (and plenty of RAM) upgrade instead nod.gif

Yeah, its good enough if you don't mind the slightly smaller size (12.5")..
Older versions (i3-2310M) can be found at around RM1.5k or so
