hi there, i got a budget around RM2.5k and kinda want to stick tightly to it,

will be using it for:
1. mostly work,
2. some gaming (probably mmo with good graphics, like DN)
3. 1080p/720p movie (high quality ones), GPU must able to play 'em smoothly

Bonus:
1. Lightweight since i'll be carrying it around
2. backlit keyboard (2.5k lappy got this? )

Suggestion for laptop with good price under my budget. Thanks

What's the difference for 14" WXGA and 15.6" HD screen? is the 14" not true HD-quality?

lenovo is my fren's suggestion. Any better options?

1. Preferred Brand - Dell or Asus or Toshiba
2. Budget - RM 2k ~ 2.5k
3. Usage - IT student. Normal gaming such as dota 2.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14', below 3kg

Any suggestion?

out of topic but still...
any recommendation to replace my tp link router? I already replaced my unifi noob dlink router with the tp link one. but still, signal pretty weak as around 10 users on it. any more powerful one???

getting a 3D with GTX660M gonna kill u in Gaming..... even GTX580M also cannot handle, i dont think GTX660M can handle nice ^^

Is there i5 variants for Ivy Bridge?
Never really hear i5 IB on laptops.. most of it is i7s.

One of them is i5-3320M 2.6GHz

Lurking around notebookcheck.net and all I hear is i7-3610qm..
No announcements for laptops with i5-3320M yet right?

I think for a normal user, diablo 3/guild wars 2 and normal online/movies usage.. i5 is more than enough yeah?

Hi guys, can u pls recommend a gaming laptop for me? Budget is around RM3100, minimum requirements for graphics would be diablo III, guild wars 2 and skyrim in medium settings. Weight isnt an issue but preferrably not a 10kg laptop (im looking at u alienware >:( ) Are there any recommendations? Thanks alot for your help

Are you in a rush?
I'm looking for the same type of laptop as you, but I'll be waiting for the Ivy Bridge laptops to come out.

nop, not in a rush at all. any expected good ivy bridge laptops coming in at that price range?

Not that I know of..
One superb gaming laptop is the Asus G55, but it is RM3,999.

Just wait a while longer.. More will pop up soon

i5
500gb hdd is more than enough
512mb ddr3 graphics card
ram ddr3 4gb
screen size >15'
max budget is 2k, butmayb can top up abit..

Thanks!

The Timeline Ultra you're talking about is the M3.
I saw that last year. Its the ultra slim laptop but without CD player.
Its a Macbook Air competitor right?

But is there no newer Timeline series?
I googled "Acer 8hour battery laptop" and it all goes back to the old laptops..

If I want a long battery life laptop, besides the older Timeline X series, what other choice do I have from Acer and Asus, Dell etc.?
You know, something in the old Timeline series budget, around RM2500.

Thanks

The Acer M3 was just launched about a month ago.. I think you've seen the wrong model :lol;
Anyway apart from the 4830Tg that's already recommended, there's this one as well, also boasting long battery lives:
14"
Asus U46Sv-WX053v, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2599[2.14kg]; USB3.0, Asus optical mouse

Dell XPS 14z, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT520M@RM3099[1.98kg], 8GB, 500GB, Belkin Evo Backapck, 4GB

1. Preferred Brand : any except acer
2. Budget : below rm2.1k
3. Usage : do assignment and online
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14 or 13.3

and can u give me some opinion on u32? will it slow? cause only like got 1.6ghz only..
