no samsung...hate the charger port...grrr...

HP brand neh?

I am using the hp envy 4 and it gets pretty bright but probably not as bright as the samsung. The max brightness is useable in a sun lit room and is a little blinding at night(i usually set it at 7/10 ). You really have to try it out urself.

ok i go check the spec sin..

Aside from the freedos, everything else looks great. Thanks. Any other recommendation?

what are the skus available for lenovo y580 full hd model?

Bro , any comments about toshiba p850 with gt630m xD.

IMHO, the only brand to go for is probably Dell for that. Anything wrong, they come to you. Should the service center be on the opposite side of city, going across would be a headache for student in strange land.

On-site warranty for Dell is only available in certain countries

I think they cover most of the major ones. Best ask before buying and make sure the model you buy here is also available in the overseas country that you will be using in.

No recomendations? Okay

Din't see your post, sorry
15.6"
Asus G55VW-S1095V, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080)@3999, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W7HP
MSI GE60, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + Bluray@RM4199, 8GB, 1TB(7200rpm), W7HP, 2 years warranty, gaming mouse & backpack, Free SteelSeries QCK Mass mousepad

These two will be good enough, with lots of money to spare for gaming accessories and warranty extension

Looks like MSI much better, hehe no alienware?

Just now went to a shop, saw the MSI GE60, one thing for sure - its cool-looking, steelseries keyboard, and nice feeling to it

bosses & gentlemen,

Anyone 100% sure if Ultrabook's battery are like notebook's? i mean i plan to buy 1, but the battery is build in. while i'm using a notebook right now, i never put in the battery as it'll spoil charging it while using for a long time...will this happen to an Ultrabook IF i put on the charger & use for a long time?

i know i can somehow take out the battery, but sometimes once in awhile, i may need to use the battery.

The Alienware M14x is no where near the performances of these two machines Its more geared towards portability... The M17x is out of your budget unfortuntaely
Both the MSI and Asus are more or less similar, it just boils down to which one you like most

You're right, its going to be a problem since most ultrabooks have built-in batteries
What you can do is try not to get too high-spec processors/ try not to put your laptop on load... this will at least lower the temps by a bit

The g55 ram 4gb only hehe while ge60 got 8gb of ram! Dam great haha

Btw is these two laptop can use for editing? Photo and vid editing

4GB RAM is only around RM70 bro haha XD

Since you have a good budget, you can consider upgrading the HDD in either the MSI/Asus to SSD. The conventional HDD is the bottleneck to the performance of these gaming rigs

And yes, both comes with FullHD screens and a powerful CPU (might wanna add more RAM though if possible, at least 8GB), good for editings and stuffs

8gb ram? Yeahhh maybe gonna choose asus LOL

hi all

am planning to get new laptop

1. Brand : Anything but Asus, Acer, Compaq
2. Budget : 3k
3. Usage : moderate gaming (WoW and maybe new transformer?)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : at least 14"


actually i found 1 laptop suitable for me. iirc the model is Lenovo G480. but i cant seem to find it on the net. the specs are (if not mistaken)
i5 CPU
4GB (2x2GB) RAM
2GB VGA (forgot Nvidia or ATI)
standard wireless

i check in laptop section, the closest i found is Y480, but the price differ too much. 2099 (G480) vs 2699 (Y480). so i dont think its the same

can anyone clarify the model for me?
also, if can please suggest any laptop that suits my usage above

by the way, how is Lenovo quality and service? i ask the shop for their service center, both shop give different answer (USJ 1 and Bandar Utama)

please help
