It really depends on your usage.
If you don't play games at all except for apps or word documents/AutoCAD/graphics etc. then iPad will be sufficient.

I tried the autocad in ipad. its seem can't do everything what we can do in pc ><

help anyone

1. Preferred Brand : dell / hp
2. Budget : 3.5 k below
3. Usage : mid gaming , mid editting and assigment
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 15


i wanna ask a question :
when windows 8 is going to be in the market ?

cause i have the time to wait until end of this year so i think i might just wait for a new and better upcoming laptop

advise ?

but u hav any desktop/ laptop? bcoz i think u nid at least 1 of those to do ur assingment for ur engineering subjects....ipad is sumwhere in between laptop and mobile phone... it's more for entertainment and some light workload (editing documents, reading lecture slides, surfing the internet, email , etc)... U will still nid a laptop/desktop for engineering...i usually use my ipad b4 i sleep, wake up and during lecture classes...so it really depends on what u hav n use...

Yea I got a slow processor desktop and my dad's "slow" laptop. I think I will buy a iPad and use the desktop for autocad.
Imma save money and wait for Windows 8 with 3rd gen i7 laptop
One last questin, is that iPad's iWork can works like microsoft office (word,excel,powerpoint)?
Anyway thanks for ur advice =)

guys, i wanna ask 1 question abt processor for gaming. Will there be any significant difference between i5-2450m vs i7-2670QM? Cheers.

Hi [PF] T.J.

I remember u saying that 14 inches laptop monitor consume less power than 15.6 inches laptop monitor. So the battery of the 14 inches laptop monitor will last longer. Right? Is there a huge difference the two laptops in terms of power consumption?

i5-3317U is the successor of i5-2467M is that right? these two are also ULV processors right?

So if these ULV procs(i5-3317U(1.7 ghz) and i5-2467M(1.6ghz)) to be compared to normal IB mobile proc(i5-2450M(2.5ghz) and i5-3210M(2.5ghz)) is there a huge difference in terms of performance?

tq

Significant difference between i5 and i7 for gaming, not really in my opinion.
The i7 is mostly used for handling heavy multitasking/ multi applications.
It also means i7 will be consuming more power than i5.

For gaming, i5 with a strong GPU will be more than enough.

Buy it when you need it

If we're lucky, they might launch it around end of 2012.

it's gud for editing but not really suitable for doing stuff from scratch imo...some things are done better on pc compare to tablet....i prefer to use my ipad for light editing and also a more on the go entertainment device...

any recommended laptop?

1. Preferred Brand : any brand
2. Budget : between 3-4k
3. Usage : lightweight as need to travel a lot, programming / 3D editing, mid gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14

If you're buying in a hurry, then I'd suggest these:
Dell XPS 14z, i7-2640M + Nvidia GT520M@RM3449[1.98kg], 4GB, 500GB, Belkin Evo Backapck

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E420s, i5-2410M + AMD HD6630M@RM3699[1.88kg], W7P, 8GB, 320GB (7200rpm), anti-glare

Toshiba Tecra-R840-2034X, i5-2520M + AMD HD6450M@RM3999[2.15kg], W7P, 4GB, 640GB (7200rpm), 3 years international warranty (1st year on-site), Microsoft Office Home & Business 2010

If not, then its better to wait then the ones above are running on relatively older technology...
New ones are expected to arrive in 1-2 month's time

Howbout Acer M5-481TG-53316G12, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT640M LE (28nm Kepler) + 128GB SSD@RM2899[1.85kg], 6GB, W7HP ?
Atleast get a good GPU for gaming and also SSD.
Not sure whether the i5-3317U is enough for programming and 3D editting.

oh yeah ? great then.

do you know where to look for upcoming laptop ?

and in ur personal opinion , is ultrabook same with normal notebook ? their perfomance. for example dell xps 13z and 15.
cause the 15z is abit heavy to carry around, but if i take ultrabook, im afraid it wont last long

will i5 be sufficient for gaming? is an i7 processor going to make much difference in gaming?

Still available but have to access thru http://www.dell.com/my/p/inspiron-14r-se-7...ron-14r-se-7420

There are plenty of places to expect them. Or you can visit LYN for latest post and news

Ultrabooks are built with lighter weight and smaller size without compromising performance and battery life.
Performance-wise, laptops perform relatively better than ultrabooks. If you are into gaming, then don't get an ultrabook.
For fast and normal usage with portability, go for ultrabook as they come with SSD nowadays.
