Budget : 2k~3k
Usage : Mostly for school work, some animes & k-drama.. maybe a little DotA, LoL, HoN probably.
Screen Size : No preference.. But I think the laptop itself should be a little light so I can carry around Uni?

I'm getting a new laptop soon. Studying in KL now but will be leaving for UK in another 1.5 years. I wanted a Asus A53TK but my parents said it's not good enough so yea.

Brand: No Acer
Budget: 2k-3k. I can afford a 4k laptop but if only it is necessary.
Usage: Usual stuffs. I'm not hardcore gamer. A casual one I suppose but I'm planning to use this new laptop to run games like GTA 4 and the upcoming Hitman Absolution.
Screen Size: Prefer 15 inch but if there are no better options, I can settle for a 14 inch.

I'm giving priorities to laptops with international warranty, Dell and Asus in particular. Do other brands offer good international warranty?

AMD Llano (and maybe Trinity)... Are they good enough for my type of gaming?

The Inspiron 13z is your average laptop with basic GPU. Its a little old and might not handle your games so well depending on what games you are playing.

Its hard to recommend without an estimated budget nod.gif

I'm not sure whether if its cheaper here or there tongue.gif

You can try these:

Asus
N45SL (Jay-Chou edition), i5-2450M + Nvidia GT635M@RM2899[Bang & Olufsen], 750GB (7200rpm), Color: White

Dell
Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2199[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm); backlit keyboard optional
Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2799[2.38kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional

If you wan light weight, you can go for this:

Dell
[Ultrabook]Inspiron 14z, i5-3317U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB SSD + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2599[1.87kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm) *no VGA port

Hi Fellas,

I'm looking for a laptop for business use. I will also be using it for some gaming like maybe SC2 and Call of Duty, but not serious gaming. What I'm looking for is a laptop that is sturdy, shock resistant, spill resistant and has decent battery life (around 3 hours is good enough), with 14 inch screen.

I was initially looking at the Asus A43SM models as a sales person recommended it as versatile. The laptop looks sturdy enough, but the hinges look kind of fragile, and I've seen more than a few laptops with broken hinges already. But if any of you have feedback on the A43SMs, I'm all ears smile.gif

Next up are the Lenovos, Y480 and Z480. They're both really sweet with 3rd gen Core i's, but might not have the sturdy and durable design I'm looking for. The Thinkpads are out of my budget.

Then there's the Dell Latitude E5420, it's got all that, and a 180 degree screen, but has a 2nd gen Core i5 processor, and just a built-in vid card sad.gif


Any recommendation from you guys out there? My budget is approximately RM2.5k

What does your parents mean when they said its not good enough?

Are you looking for laptops with AMD Llano/Trinity?
What about Intel?

usage: programming, fast processor ( i think i5/ i7 should be fine)

I've seen the Acer V3 Olympic edition, *almost* bought it last weekend. It was a series of unfortunate and unusual events. First my wallet got stolen, then ok nvm. I got another friend to use her credit card, and for some reason the card didn't work. So I take it as a sign that I shouldn't be getting it.


If I am not mistaken the 14R you are referring to is the 5420. I was going for it, then I realized the Inspiron are economy models, I need more durability than that, like a Vostro. Specs are decent for both laptops though.
