Well according to here http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/11/macbook-kepler-blurrycam/ the next macbook pros "might" come with gt650M.. if they decide to support usb 3.0, then i'm sold.

Which laptop would be better for gaming?
Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), ,i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler),4GB RAM@RM2199
or
Lenovo Y480,i7-3610QM,4GB RAM,Nvidia GT640M LE (Free DOS)@ Rm2379

Hi everyone I'm looking for a personal laptop
1. Preferred Brand : any brand that reliable, less prob
2. Budget : RM2k-3k
3. Usage : surfing, online movie and gaming (Diablo 3, Battlefield, Stronghold sort of graphic intensive gaming)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14''

hye guys. my fren looking for a laptop for gaming. at least can play diablo3, BF3.

1. Preferred Brand : Asus/ MSi or can suggest any better brand in term of reliable + warranty
2. Budget : RM2500 - RM3000
3. Usage : gaming, surfing, typing
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14" above

thanks

The GPU is the same for the 15R SE and 15R SE FHD, but do take note that when you game at 1366x768 (15R SE) and 1920x1080 (15R SE FHD), you'll notice that the performance for the latter will drop because it'll be more taxing to display more pixels within one screen. But you can always lower resolution to 1366x768.
So the FHD version is still better

The former is better, by a lot

Try to look for this one online
Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2199[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm); backlit keyboard optional

If don't have, then this:
Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2799[2.38kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional

Use the remaining cash to extend warranty to 3 years for peace of mind

For 15"
Dell
Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M@RM2799, 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional
Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional

Similarly, extend warranty to 3 years

I see,thanks.Is it a good idea to upgrade to a 128GB ssd for games?
also how is the i5 version compared to the i7 in terms of gaming & performance? i know i5 generates less heat?

I'm interested you get the dell inspiron 14r special edition. but I have never bought online with dell. any guidance please.

Inspiron 15R, i5-3210M + AMD HD7670M@RM1999[2.65kg], 6GB, 500GB(5400rpm)

Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional

Which should I buy for lite game and for Engineering's program like (AutoCAD, MATLAB, C++)? which more worthy and is this big different?

If you have the budget, go for the Inspiron 15R SE.

Yeah, getting a SSD would be great, like they say, once you used it, you'll never turn back
i5 generates less heat and consumes less power... no real need for an i7 if you're only using the laptop for gaming

Something i wonder. Actually normal size/weight laptops are not heavy le.......and they are meant to be brought around le. A 14 inches laptop weight from 2 - 2.5kg not heavy at all le. But nowadays, come out with ultrabook(super light weight)(around 1.5KG) so people choose UB, but at the moment the price is really expensive. It's so damn thin, I wonder how the parts are accomodated into it. cooling system how le? lol

Different people, different demands.
Weight is a big problem for those who travel around alot (particularly those traveling overseas, each kg counts)..
Actually the concept of ultrabook is quite good. The manufacturers are creating a laptop that is "all roundered" in all aspects by putting in an SSD (most laptops are bottlenecked by the conventional HDD). Manufacturers realize that most people don't need that much processing power (both CPU and GPU) for their laptops (hell, not everyone is as hardcore as we are over here) anyway...
At this stage ultrabooks are still very expensive, but we can expect the price to drop after awhile~
Since they are running on ULV processors, heat is more or less okay..

These are some of the laptops that make ultrabooks look bad though
Dell
Vostro V131, i3-2350M + Intel HD3000@RM1799[1.82kg], 4GB, 320GB(7200rpm), anti-glare, W7HB, colors: silver/red
Vostro V131, i5-2450M + Intel HD3000@RM1999[1.82kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), anti-glare, W7HB, colors: silver/red

Toshiba
Portégé R830-2071U, i3-2330M + Intel HD3000@RM2999[1.4kg], W7P, 4GB, 640GB (7200rpm), 2nd & 3rd year international warranty, color: metallic black
Portégé R830-1004UB/UR/U, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM3499[1.4kg], W7P, 2nd & 3rd year international warranty, Microsoft Office Home & Student 2010; colors: metallic Black/Blue/Red
Portégé R830-1056UB/UR/U, i5-2430M + Intel HD3000@RM3299[1.4kg], W7P, 2nd & 3rd year international warranty, Microsoft Office Home & Student 2010; colors: metallic Black/Blue/Red
Portégé R830-2073U, i5-2520M + Intel HD3000@RM4299[1.4kg], W7P, 4GB, 500GB (6400rpm), Microsoft Office Home & Student 2010; color: metallic black
Portégé R830-2047U, i7-2640M + Intel HD3000@RM4999[1.4kg], W7P, 4GB, 640GB (7200rpm), Microsoft Office Home & Student 2010; color: metallic black

Abit heavier than ultrabooks, but many, many folds more powerful... all they need is an SSD (which you can put in urself)

Nay, it's either 1st or 2nd Sept, so I planned to buy one in July, as August will be a very very busy month. I definitely don't want to buy a laptop in a rush

So, does that still mean to come back here again in July?

why is Inspiron 15R Special Edition (hd) is same price with Inspiron 14R Special Edition? and both spec are the same i am confuse

Unfortunately yes
Its the transition period from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge now, most of the laptop lines for each brand are not yet refreshed or updated yet

Larger doesn't actually mean that its all better, you'll need to compromise on weight and size, and also shorter battery lives
