hi guys, im planning to buy a new gaming laptop. since it's not urgent, i dont mind waiting a few months if there are better laptops that will be released (and fullfilled my needs)
-below RM3.5k
-bigger than 14" (prefer 15" or 17"...14" is too small for me)
-used mainly for gaming and multimedia rendering
-brand, weight, design, accessories doesnt matter
generally i need a laptop with greatest spec i can get under RM3.5k, any ideas?

Its out already (although the spec is a little bit disappointing): http://my.asus.com/Static_WebPage/Product_Guide/

yeah.. rm3599 for gpu gt630m..not worth getting it..
or maybe the brochure printed wrong? i googled around and found out that in another countries it is gt635m..
and the actual display is 1080p right? in the brochure says 1366x768

looks like i have to cut my budget a bit... cry.gif
if only i can top-up rm1k for G55... sad.gif
with RM3k budget, is these 2 the only laptops with ivy bridge?

Dell Inspiron 15R (Limited Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M@RM2999, 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm)
Acer V3-571G-73614G1T, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2899, 4GB, 1TB

about the gpu..which 1 better?
eventhough i dont really prefer these 2 brands..but they are the cheapest one with IB and good gpu...

Sifu..worth the wait to for a better N series Asus model? Heard that GT650M is in together with the ivy bridge processor..

my hope with N56 is gone...too expensive i think.
i7+gt 630m =rm3599 ...low resolution summore...add another rm200 can get Asus G55vm alrdy
maybe they are expensive because of the full-aluminium body?

im currently waiting for Lenovo Y580.. i7+gtx 660m+1080p res = predicted at RM3k thumbup.gif
but duno when it will be released. maybe one month to go..

how is acer v3 performance and build quality?
V3-571G-73614G1T, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2899, 4GB, 1TB

eventhough i had bad experience with acer laptops, v3 is the most affordable 15" 3rd gen i7 laptop right now sad.gif
i might have to consider this one instead..

This would be the perfect one for you my friend brows.gif
MSI GE620DX-875, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT635M + (1920x1080) + 128GB SSD@RM2799, 4GB, FreeDOS, 2 years warranty, backpack, Razer mouse *MSI promotion 2nd & 3rd June
More details here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2366710

Do take note that the GT640M in the Y480 is Fermi based (weaker)... and the GT555m in the Y570 is crippled (weaker too)...
The GT635M in the MSI is better, summore the laptop is powered by an SSD, it'll be very fast... Additionally, its FullHD, its a steal!
If you're fast enough, you might even get a free copy of W7HP (see the link for more details)

Don't be fooled by the Ivy i7, its not that important, especially if you're only using the laptop for gaming... having an SSD will give you a much better overall experience~

holyshit.......
that ge620dx rm2599+razer mouse+ssd
sadly only on 2&3 june...im not in town sad.gif

need advice from sifus..
when do u guys think these new laptops (G55vw, N56vz, N56zm, Y580) will be available widely in msia?
i want to buy, but don't want to take risk of pre-order or online order..

how about next month (13 Jul) pikom pcfair in klcc?

Yes, preordering isn't risky at all if you're buying from large stores. After all, you'll only be paying a relatively small amount of deposit hmm.gif
My advice is you go for preorder, because as what Itachi has mentioned, there is a chance that you might not even be able to get the laptop you want after a few months because of the high demand and the low supply from Asus
*
wait, pre-order means we order the purchase from the shop right?
while online order means straightaway from the laptop website..

for pre-order how long do i need to wait for the laptop?
i read somewhere in this forum the customer waited 1 month for G55vw..

i7+gt650m rm23++ definitely a good deal.
but if lenovo can go that low, im sure other brand will compete too.
