Gaming performance isn't affected much by a quad-core processor.. the graphic card is more important.
Photoshop relies more on RAM and CPU power, so it all depends on your magnitude of Photoshop. If all you're doing is simple Photoshop tasks, then there's no real need for an i7

N56Vz-S3088V is better than dell 14se?

I heard my fren said that dell laptops heat up easily and hotter than others o.O is it true?

Hard to say. It varies from model to model. Some got faulty ones and heats up while some had no problem. You might get one without any problem

btw, im planning to buy ultrabook..easy to carry n light.. but wat i heard, de gpu for ultrabook so poor.. like zenbook use intel hd4000...only half of de gt650 performance..

so i wan ask is it sofware run using gpu?? not cpu??

Greetings,
1. Preferred Brand: Any brand(do not prefer Acer)
2. Budget: <RM 3500
3. Usage: Gaming,movies,entertaiment,homework
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 13"-15"
5. Good graphics card for games like Prototype,Prototype 2,Saints Row,etc.
6. RAM higher than 4gb.

What do you mean "Required desktop"?
Are you looking for a laptop or desktop?

If it use more on CPU, maybe this will do:

SONY VAIO S Series 13P
13.3" 1600 x 900, i7-3520M, 750 GB, 8GB RAM, GT 640M LE(kepler) 2GB DDR3, [1.67kg] W7 Pro RM4,799

SONY VAIO S Series 13
13.3" 1366 x 768, i7-3520M, 750 GB, 4GB RAM, GT 640M LE(kepler) 1GB DDR3, [1.72kg] W7 Pro RM3,999


Maybe other sifu can advice.

Mind sharing your budget and preferred screen size?
I have the perfect recommendation if your budget is Rm9k

Engineering softwares, based on what I've heard, relies more on CPU. GPU is used only when rendering 3D stuffs

15.6"
Asus N56ZM-S4079V, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920 x 1080) + BluRay@RM3599[Bang&Olufsen], 4GB, 1TB

Lenovo Ideapad Y580, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + Bluray@RM3399[JBL], 8GB, 1TB HDD(7200rpm), W7HP

I am looking for a new notebook

Brand: Prefer Asus but not a must
Budget: Around 3000
Usage: Meeting 1-3 clients for presentation everyday, so VGA port and long battery life a must (or spare battery if choices are limited). Prefer fast startup. I also do 3D model and rendering for buildings. Other than that, I promised some friends to play Diablo3.
Prefered screen: 15' non-reflective surface.

Don't understand why Asus website for N55SF show: HD (1366x768)/HD+ (1600x900)/Full HD (1920x1080), that means there are 3 variants?

Thanks.

hahaa....wow..which laptop can reach 9k??

my budget around 3-4k...maybe max 5k la...
screen i dun mind...if can get bigger size much better...juz de cpu n gpu selection make me in dilemma...
actually i'm so interested wit zenbook...but de gpu only hd4000...and ultrabook CPU not powerful enuf...



hoho...i dunno much about sony laptop...wat i heard b4,de brand make de price so expensive... if compare to zenbook which one more reliable n good??nice spec though

A lot of laptops can fetch an insanely high price yo
Anyway, since you don't mind having a larger and heavier laptop, then I guess its better you go for desktop replacements for the power rather than just the slimness and looks

Asus G55VW-S1095V, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080)@3999, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W7HP
MSI GE60, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + Bluray@RM4199, 8GB, 1TB(7200rpm), W7HP, 2 years warranty, gaming mouse & backpack, Free SteelSeries QCK Mass mousepad

If you prefer something lighter and less powerful, then you might want to wait for the upcoming Dell XPS 15 (IB versions, around July), or the current:
Asus
N56ZM-S4079V, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920 x 1080) + BluRay@RM3599[Bang&Olufsen], 4GB, 1TB

Dell
Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional *Nvidia GPU might work better for your case
XPS 15z, i7-2640M + Nvidia GT525M (2GB) + (1920x1080)@RM4099[2.51kg], backlit keyboard

Lenovo Ideapad Y580, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + Bluray@RM3399[JBL], 8GB, 1TB HDD(7200rpm), W7HP *resolution is HD only

The Vostro 3550 comes entirely in matte, but the battery life is only normal, and the specifications are considered outdated already (you might want to wait for it to be refreshed if you are not buying in a hurry)
15.6"
Dell
Vostro 3550, i5-2450M + AMD HD6630M@RM2257, 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), W7HB, backlit keyboard, colors: silver/ brown/red
Vostro 3550, i7-2640M + AMD HD6630M@RM2920, 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), W7HB, backlit keyboard, colors: silver/ brown/red
*use remaining money for warranty extension to 3 years

Other than that, you're going to have to make compromises on the non-reflective screen unfortunately
15"
Asus N56Vz-S3088V, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M@RM2699[Bang&Olufsen], 4GB, 750GB, W7HP, subwoofer and backpack

Toshiba Satellite L850-1001X, i5-2450M + AMD HD7670M@RM2499[2.41kg], 4GB, 640GB, W7HP, 3 years warranty

These two are running on an i5 processor, which will help save you some battery life, just try not to expect too much from them since almost all laptops within your budget only come with 6-cell batteries

Thanks for speedy reply, even at this hour.

Is there any possibility those units added with SSD option? (for fast start, data security,etc...), how much the price may go up?

Reason why I suggest the Sony laptop is due to the weight, since you're looking for something light to carry, while still packs quite a nice spec.

But, if you don't mind to have something just a bit heavy than the Sony, but pack a powerful spec, then you should go with the MSI GE60 like what PF T.J. mentioned.

MSI GE60, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + Bluray@RM4199, 8GB, 1TB(7200rpm), W7HP, 2 years warranty, gaming mouse & backpack, Free SteelSeries QCK Mass mousepad
Weighing at 2.4kg. Not so bad for a 15.6" laptop with a Quad-Core processor and a powerful GPU.
