1. Preferred Brand : Actually any brand will do, AS LONG IT'S NOT ACER...
2. Budget : say 2.8-3.3K
3. Usage : multi-purpose, GAMING...really gaming..
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14"~16"

Personal remark : changing my ASUS F8VR Of 4 years...i don't mind waiting another few more months if a better model is coming out
: Most important thing is the laptop can last 4-5 years like this baby..

Yeah, you're right
But I thought the AMD HD7690M is on par with the M14x's GT555m and might even perform better than it? Confusing....

both red and green camp don't make it easy for us consumer this year.

HD7690M = HD6750M - Core: 600mhz
HD7690M XT = HD6770M - Core: 725mhz

**** confused it with the AMD HD6770M
Sorry about that, and thanks alot for the correction

You might want to come back in a couple of weeks time, the new Asus N series would probably be here by then~

Ops! Kept thinking about money lately haha XD
Thanks for the correction

o.O, but me seldom play those game like crysis, COD, bla bla bla only @@
normally just surf internet, play fb game and online game, lol

sifus, the graphic card in lenovo y480 have LE. what does it mean?
is it worth getting the laptop?

GT640M LE in Y480 is the same GT555M in Y570.

Budget below 1.5 k

No brand preferred. Normal usage internet browsing. Must be reliable long lasting, 5 years or more my acer aspire lasted 5.5 before died.

Probably cheapest i 5 no celeron please dont want multiple IE to lag...

thank you man.
any laptop that have ivy bridge now?

Juz help one of my fren get asus n55sl from devour, now i need opinion on another notebook other than asus n55sl.

Budget : <RM3k
usage : Office & Gaming (dota 2, cod mw 2/3, crysis and other)
Preference/ Notebook in mind : GE620DX Full HD 1920x1080 (other except Acer & Asus n55sl)

i found in GS that the GE620DX offer full hd and non full hd (1600x900 perhaps) with different price of RM3k and Rm3.4k respectively (not sure the seller got update anot).

and from Hikari, it state full hd @ Rm3099 with 640gb instead of 750gb.

Please advice.

Apparently GE620DX got two version, one with 640gb non full hd @ 1366x768 and 750gb with full hd.

You're right, there are 2 variants of the MSI GE620DX
GE620DX, i7-2670QM + Nvidia GT555M (2GB)@RM3099, 8GB, 640GB, 2 years warranty
GE620DX-675, i7-2670QM + Nvidia GT635M + (1920x1080)@RM3599, 8GB, 750GB, 2 years warranty

The FullHD one is more worth it imho~

Don't think can get i5 for that budget unfortunately
Closest would be:
14"
Fujitsu LifeBook LH531, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM1459, 2GB, 320GB, FreeDOS, colors: black

MSI CR460X, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM1599, 2GB, 640GB, FreeDOS, 2 years warranty

Toshiba Satellite L745-1199U, i3-2350M + Intel HD3000@RM1649,FreeDOS, 2nd & 3rd year local limited warranty

Nope, its not worth it (especially if you're using it for gaming)...
The GT555m is crippled and not very good...

If you're planning on using it for multimedia, you'll be better off with these instead
Asus N55Sf-S2356v [black], i5-2450M + Nvidia GT555m (2GB) + 1600x900@RM2799[Bang & Olufsen]; 750GB, USB3.0, Sonic Master subwoofer
Toshiba Qosmio F750-1008X, i5-2430QM + Nvidia GT540M (2GB)@RM2699[2.9kg][harman/kardon], 640GB (7200rpm), color: glossy red

ouch...i though it using non crippled 1...
ok guess i wont put this in my list then...
hehe glad i ask here 1st if not probally i buy edi

honestly n55sf design doesnt attract me...but n56 did attract me...
wonder if there a i5 version for n56?

u can get n55sl and n45sl at price rm2.6K from rickyrich,, http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1899264&hl=
