Hi all, thinking of buying a super portable notebook, here are my requirements, hope you sifus can help! I already have some idea in my mind (ASUS Zenbook) but want to explore my options further.

1. Preferred Brand : Doesn't matter - reliable and looks nice
2. Budget : <RM5000
3. Usage : MS office, surfing, music, office work-related, carry around.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: Small to medium small (want portability)

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.

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

Looking for laptop for my gf (& her mom) to be use for PPS & web surfing, maybe sometimes Photoshop. I have PC knowledge, so tech wise I'm still ok, just that I want to know more about the brand's build quality & warranty (good or not). I heard that Dell's laptop breaks a lot from lots of friends, so is it wise to no take any Dell's laptop?

1. Preferred Brand: No preference
2. Budget: Under RM2k
3. Usage: Watch movies, surf web, no gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" to 15"

you should pick dell laptop, its warranty is the best
+ with your budget, dell inspiron series would be good pick as if compare with hp g series, asus a series,the speaker / sound effect of it are much better - louder

I'm undecided to choose between a 14 inches or 15.6 inches laptop. Hmm...no idea.. I like to bring my laptop around(to wifi places). Really dont know if i should opt for 15.6 inches laptop. Sure gaming better with a bigger screen.

And i would like to ask. Why people don't like HP anymore? In the past it was the best computer brand. I think they had a lot issues with the laptop(heat issue etc). am i right?

If given 3k rm. Should i opt for HP dv6, or acer v3 or  asus N55Sl?

Should i get laptop with 1600x900 reso or just 1366x768? for 15.6 inches monitor.
