September is still a long, long, long way to go
Come back at around August, by then we'll even have W8, new generation laptops

This question shouldn't be pasted here. This thread is for laptop recommendations.

There won't be much difference for most games. Having an i7 processor will only be good for those games that (i) are RTS and involves ALOT ALOT of units; (ii) the game is optimized for i7 i.e. RE5, GTA4 etc. For most cases, the increased heat and power consumption of the i7 processor makes it less appealing

+1, seems like their refreshing their new XPS line already

1. Preferred Brand : Dell/Lenovo
2. Budget : <RM3000
3. Usage : video watching,mid-gaming,
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 15 above

P.S I was targeting Lenovo Y480 but most ppl saying the graphic card is LE version which is less powerfull if compare to GT630M. I was wondering is it worth to buy it? Around RM2400 for a freedos version.
Any other recommendation are welcome as well.
Thanks!

Lenovo Y480 is 14"
It uses Fermi LE version which is weaker compared to GT635M and GT640M.

I will recommend:

Dell
Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M@RM2999, 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional

For Lenovo there is not much choices as they run on the old SB.

Lenovo Ideapad Z570, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT630M@RM2399, 4Gb, 500GB, W7HP; color: grey

the Z570 also running in LE version?
Honestly, do you think there's a huge different betweem LE and non LE?

1.DELL/LENOVO
2.BUDGET :<RM3000
3.USAGE :GAMING ,VIDEO STREAMING,WEB
4.14 " ABOVE

Actually i ask you before ,i aim for acer laptop at 1st place and i have been warned by family and friend not to use acer so i decide between which better in terms of gaming
Dell
Inspiron 15R (Special Edition)i found coupon code in this page and tried and it worked thinking it quiet worth plus with now with extra RM200 off

Inspiron 14r (special)

Lenovo
Y480

By the im also gonna go for collage for sept now still finding a new laptop,will very appreciate your reply....

No its not LE version. Its only for GT640M that has so much variations.

I wouldn't say huge difference. But enough for visible differences.
The GT640M LE ( Fermi ) is a rebranded GT550M so its a little weaker.

Added on June 11, 2012, 12:49 pmIf you're getting Dell Inspiron 15R SE, I advise you get the one with FHD screen. It's worth it though its very limited/hard to get.

For 14", go for the Inspiron 14R as the GPU is much better than Lenovo Y480 for gaming.

Else if you can wait, then wait as more new laptops are coming in and W8 might come around August iinm.

thanks for the explanation.
im so much clear now.
the one u recommend mr blurp above. Dell Inspiron 15R SE.
Where can i get it?

You can try Dell's website. Or you can pm devour, he's a trustable seller in LYN.
I'm not sure about computer shops. Though the stock is very limited due to the FHD screen.

ic. do u happen to know the price?
sorry for not googling it.

the insprion SE version cheaper by RM200...previous 2999 now 2799

That is the one without the FHD screen.
This is the one with the FHD screen:

Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3399, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional

Note that the price may change.

loooking forward to retina display macs tmr... set new standards once again i think...

Im able to get 15r se with RM3221 included 3year extended warranty plus backlit keyboard , of course it a FHD ver via dell website ..........but the conclusion in terms of gaming according your reply is it

14r se > 15r se >Y480 , correct?

btw thx for your reply.

If the resolution is fixed at 1366x768, then
14R SE = 15RSE > Y480

Then 15r se with full hd (1920 x 1080) , 15r se vs 14r se vs Y480 ? who win?

And the 15r se got a " Integrated with mSATA SSD - 32GB (Intel® SRT enhancement)" what is this 32GB things

Win in what?
15R SE with FHD is no different from 15R SE. It just comes with the special screen for viewing pleasures Everything else is the same.

That is the 32GB SSD. Put in simpler words, it makes the laptop run faster. You can google SSD for more info.

Edit: Its Windows 8.
