Comparing these 2 model, which is better?

N55SL-S2064v - rm2899
HP Dv6-6c19TX - rm3099 

Thanks.

One is on i5, another is on i7.

Dv6 has better GPU output compared to Asus.

But Asus has higher screen resolution. And to note, Dv6's screen abit dimmed in comparison to other laptops i used b4.

Kinda don't want MacBook... it got stolen recently (house broken into), a bit phobia. Want a nice but not flashy notebook. Maybe Sony Vaio or something? Really noob about these notebook/ultrabook things


Added on April 13, 2012, 2:08 pmActually... Macbook also ok lah.. but is it fully compatible with MS stuff? Can install Windows 7 on it and use like it is a normal laptop? Mainly office work and carry around.

Use bootcam to dual boot or you can run VM on it. Same thing. Many ways to run windows inside a Mac, but not the other way around =,=

QUOTE(Mido_Ban @ Apr 13 2012, 02:18 PM)
Hi all,
can suggest me

1. Preferred Brand : Any brand but not hp
2. Budget : RM2400
3. Usage : For gaming purposed (Diablo III, battlefield etc etc...)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : it doesn't matter as long as inside the budget.

Looking at Lenovo Ideapad Z470 i-5 4gb ram nvdia geforce Gt540m dunno suitable or not for gaming.

Thanks Very much~
*
4gb ram and Gt540m should be able to play at low ~ medium settings.

Enough?

QUOTE(arthur5011 @ Apr 13 2012, 02:53 PM)
Hi all,
Need your recommendation
1. Preferred Brand : Dell, Asus, Toshiba
2. Budget : ~RM4000
3. Usage : Surfing, Photo Editing, Gaming (Diablo III, Dota, NFS and etc)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : not more than 14"

currently in my mind is Dell XPS14z & XPS13, but i think XPS13 is not suitable for gaming. as for XPS14z the battery is build in, will that be okay if i use it for long hour?

regards,
arthur

biggrin.gif hehe... will go LYP to find one

find new purpose for this new laptop, playing AION

I need to have look for it first, hope got a lot of suggestion.

1. Preferred Brand: Anything with no problem (heat, this n that etc.)
2. Budget:cash ready 3.5k might go more if needed
3. Usage: Office Job non programming/Game (AION)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: looking for 1920*1080

5. SSD or not? I dont need much space but i need the speed. my desktop 1tb got a lot of space (why me buying that 1tb  rclxub.gif )
6. Heavy? hope not so heavy. I'm a guy biggrin.gif
7. Heat problem? Some people said they cant type/play with their laptop for a long duration bcoz of heat issues.
8. Battery life? I have read some review that i try to conclude that battery life is shorter if it come from gaming range (correct me if im wrong).
9. Not a desktop replacement biggrin.gif dont want 17" screen size, i thing its bulky to carry all the time, but if u want me to have a look its find.
10. Backlight keyboard biggrin.gif
11. Free DOS + Warranty

Thanks biggrin.gif (sorry if im too picky tongue.gif)
*
1/2/3/4 -Anything with SSD, and 1080p screen, you are looking at 4k++ range already. Budget tak cukup.

5 - After market SSD modification cheaper, if you got the time.

6 - Err, 1080p laptop all around upper 2kg~4kg, small matter 4 you tongue.gif

7 - Use cooler and dont block the vents. Make sure the internals are clean.

8 - High powered laptops, sure drain battery. Expect no battery if you are using the gaming series laptop.

9 - 17 inch or more with SSD and 1080p screen will cost you more than budget XD

10 - Sager/AW ftw

11 - Free Dos - Sager is the only 1 offering so.

The rest comes with OS.

really  cry.gif but its customizable

so what left is Asus  hmm.gif

this is someone offer me biggrin.gif

AW also can customization what? Don't be so demanding only.

I suggest you get a after market SSD and slap it on the spot. More profit this way. The ones that comes with original laptop is overpriced.

Heck, I prefer buying my own Ram and SSD and slap it on the spot in front of the seller tongue.gif

Asus ROG series not bad, but somehow, Mx series, yet to fail me. Lasted me quite long before it went away

Actually gaming not my top priority. But I will use it for gaming, I really not a fan of alienware. In my mind is xps14z -i7, 8gb ram, 256ssd. But the gpu is NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 520M 1GB graphics. Is it enough for games like diablo3, Nfs and etc?
*
Gt 520 is a pretty weak GPU bro.

Doubt it can handle d3 properly.

Hey guys,

My gf wants to buy an ultrabook in Australia.
Req:
Thin and light
14" minimum
Can play the latest games like Guild Wars 2 and Diablo 3
Decent battery life
Does not heat up too much
Good speakers (not a top priority)
Budget: Less than a MBP

Planning to buy late May/ early June.
No Dell.

Unless you are looking at Acer M3, none of the currently ultrabook carry enough power to play such game.

You can buy the Beats though, if you want. There's a diff price for the Beats, if you purchase with the System though, i think.

And HP Dv6-6C19TX does not come with any Beats, whatsoever laugh.gif

It depends on what one compares imho... if you are comparing specifications, then Sager and mots other brands out there will definitely offer better choices...
But when it comes to bling bling and most importantly warranty support, AW units will shine nod.gif

Just curious bro, what tablet you using?
iPad 2?  brows.gif

Asus Transformer Prime laugh.gif

Very useful since I travel alot daily. Got a MiFi from Yes recently, so permanently got internet if I choose not to bring my laptop out smile.gif

Really not bad... the battery life is crazy laugh.gif

If you tune the brightness down to 2 bars like that, you can really get almost 24 hours of occasional gaming, online n etc.

If you off the wifi, even better. Battery drain will be slower. Love it when I travel, can listen 2 music with low power consumption ahaha.

@Giao2 -

Well, the Hp Dv6 looked like a normal laptop with i7.

Heck, even the new Sager looks like normal laptop. If you want less exotic design, maybe you should look into Sager or other models.
