poison already

Thanks for the recommendation,but isn't it a bit overkill having that kind of gpu in 14 inch?I'm seriously worried about the heat management on this laptop.Any other recommendation for good sounding laptop,doesn't have necessarily 14 inch.

Think for heat issue, every laptop should about the same, of course depends on usage...

Hi , if i5 from HP ............... anything particular model is good? .............. thanks a lot

1. Preferred Brand - HP
2. Budget - Around 4k
3. Usage - Photoshop, entertainment (movie etc), must have blue-ray/dvd rom
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 17 inch only.

1. Preferred Brand -currently none
2. Budget - Under RM1400
3. Usage - internet + torrent + download files + office document
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - known for reliability......less heat issue

my last lappy was compaq V3751.......it serve me well for the past 5 years.....abuse by my children while watching their favourite cartoon for hours........until recently the accidently spill water...now the lappy start giving prob like auto shutdown.....

so hopping to buy a cheap reliable lappy....

please advice.....

The GT650M is better than HD7670M.

I think there is only this?

HP Pavilion DV7-6c00TX, i7-2760QM + AMD HD7690M XT + (1920x1080 Anti-glare) + Bluray@RM4499[Beats], 8GB, 2TB(5400rpm)

How about Envy 17 ? Or any other brand that giving a similiar spec with better price-to-performance ratio ?

Preferred brand : any
Budget : under 3k
Usage : Gaming, watching movies
Preferred laptop screen/size : 14"/15.6"

i'm thinking about n56vz i5 and y480, which is lighter and better in temperature?
or are there any laptop better that these?

If you're talking about gaming performance, these are undisputed at that price range.

Lighter, Lenovo Y480 iinm.
Better in temperature/cooler, Asus N56VZ as it is running on i5, less heat generated.

I think Envy 17 is a little over the budget, no?

There is not much for that budget for 17" laptops. You can try this:

MSI GE70, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M (2GB) + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM4599, 8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W7HP, 2 years warranty, gaming mouse & backpack, free SteelSeries QCK Mass Mousepad

These have pretty good speakers, one is Beats and the other is Skullcandy.
Still 14" laptops though.
