Assuming you're considering in between these two:
Asus N55SF-SX331v, i7-2670QM + Nvidia GT555M + 1600x900 + Bluray@RM3599[Bang & Olufsen]; USB3.0, Sonic Master subwoofer, 2 years international warranty

MSI GE620DX-675, i7-2670QM + Nvidia GT635M + (1920x1080)@RM3599, 8GB, 750GB, 2 years warranty

I'm not sure whether the SX331v really comes with 1600x900 (as stated in the brochure or not), you should check, if it comes with 1920x1080, then both laptops are equally good
Otherwise, the MSI is better

for n55 is the model using i5 version, which it spec is i5-2450m + nvidia gt 635 + 1600*900, not i7 version
for ge620dx, using i7-2670QM + gt 555m + 1366*768

overall is msi better right ? but it resolution lose already
but msi laptop is it popular in Malaysia ? because can't see any1 using it

For work and multimedia, the Asus would be a better choice. Larger screen resolution is a joy to view and has pretty great sound system.

The MSI is a good choice if you don't mind gaming in HD resolution.

MSI isn't as popular. Only recently have they started to promote aggressively.

msi for sure, they got their hidden beauty. trust me

@XeactorZ, do look out for this model 1st:
Asus N55Sf-S1515v [black], i5-2450M + Nvidia GT555m (2GB) + 1920x1080@2899[Bang & Olufsen]; 750GB (7200rpm), USB3.0, Sonic Master subwoofer *EOL-ed

its way more worth it even though its slightly older... performance-wise, both are basically the same in terms of GPU (GT635M = GT555m rebadged), but the S1515v has a faster HDD as well as FullHD screen

thanks you 3 for the reply
for gaming, my friend just want smooth can already
for full HD resolution, no idea

@PF T.J.
but you said EOL = end of life already, still can find in lowyat ?
and got so cheap ? full HD resolution @@
because my friend budget around RM 3k only
which both of them cost RM 2899 (RM2.9k)
or still got other laptop recommend ??
*must 15.6 inch, 14inch too small already

for more information bout n55 sf/ sl ? this thread owner using n55sf i5 which rm28xx too. look at his reviews, maybe you will be poisoned soon.

saw before already
but me decided to wait for ivy bridge

haha brilliant !

lol
latest rumor is this month will release right ??

after this month if i'm not wrong aha, based on ur budget 3k below, .
i heard lenova y480 releasing soon. below 3k for the others u may wait longer, and i5 ivy, more longer.

I think the only difference between those 2 is a slight different in graphics and huge difference in audio. The MSI has 7.1 ready audio hardware. Make your pick.

lol
my budget around RM2.5k
if that laptop worth to buy, then I sure will increase my budget

wah 7.1 ???

Yes. Check out the reviews.

The Nvidia GT640M is of the Fermi architecture, meaning there will not be much increase from the current GT550m in the Lenovo Y470
Not really worth waiting for I would say...
Other models perhaps~

like i say, size doesn't matter..haha..always ok if under my budgets.. 12" to 14" is quite good...i3 to i5 also good.. extra graphics and RAM quite enough.. good looking extra advantage..hehe...

laptop for normal usage, for software programming and adobe photoshop, maybe some lightweight games..
i got budgets for 2 laptop, under RM2100 and under RM1600

anyway thanks in advance..

2.5k? go for the msi as i said (the look is just eyes deceiving, trust me hidden beauty~~ bro. look into my eyes! => , very serious rite?!
2.5k for getting ivy with good spec .. .. .. ivy 5 ? haha of course you can if you can wait longer. if i'm 2.5 budget, will save a bit more go for the msi.
pc fair right? get a bunches of staff too.

thanks for telling that

*im asking for my friend, not me

and for me I can buy the laptop now, but I want to wait for ivy bridge
budget around rm2.5k
so normally get either asus / msi already by that time haha
but msi seems like better

1. Preferred Brand : Asus
2. Budget : RM2k
3. Usage : Presentations(currently for a foundation student) , Movies and Musics , Surfing , Gaming ( Dota , Dota2 and etc)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : below 15inch

I'm comparing Asus VX6S and Asus K43..

Any precious guides please ?

The VX6S seems quite fine considering your budget.
