The GT640M is a big leap from the GT630M oh

Added on July 25, 2012, 10:17 amMost people would prefer laptops with OS.
Those who knows what is FreeDOS would ask for FreeDOS if they really want it to be without OS

Not saying you noob, just telling you the regular trends so that you can recommend them better next time
Most people (including me) who know nuts about computers would definitely avoid having to install OS by ourselves

Pretty much those unless if you (i) omit the light weight requirement (then a lot of options there); (ii) include 13" (some nice models there too)

Not entirely true... it depends on the niche/lines of the laptops involved.
For instance, you can expect top-notch built quality for Dell XPS/Latitude/Precision/Alienware units, whereas less so for budget Inspiron/Vostro etc. units
Same goes to Asus, better built for G/N/B/U series, poorer built for K/A etc units

Every manufacturer (apart from Apple I guess) has different laptop lines

Should be for certain models only...
I din't check them out one-by-one, lazy

Anyway, you can PM putochip123 see whether he can arrange any deals for you for cheaps
You could also bargain with Dell online sales agents, you'd be surprised how much discounts you can get

No problem, I'm sure it'll serve you well

The HP is currently the only one running on Ivy Bridge processor. Not that you'll notice much differences if you're only using it for normal stuffs
I would recommend the Vostro 3450 over the others because of the faster HDD speed, program load times would be shorter, leading to a faster computing experience

However, do take note that the Vostro 3450 runs on W7 Home Basic instead of Home Premium ya.

Not asking you to top up, just asking you to try again and see whether the coupons work or not... its the same model anyway
Or just PM "putochip123" ba haha, I bet he can give even better price

This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Jul 25 2012, 07:09 PM

Tough choice there bro
The UX32 is definitely out because of the weak GPU...
But in between the M5 and the Vaio.. not easy to decide haha

For the Vaio, you can refer here for more details Seems pretty awesome~
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=53197794

This one would be the best
Not exactly very light compared to ultraportable 14 inchers, but it does pack quite a punch!
Lenovo Y480, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650(GDDR5)@RM2499[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, FreeDOS, 2 years international warranty

Use the remaining money to buy an OS, get Microsoft Office (Universities usually offer for free), and extend warranty to 3 years...

Of course, you can consider buying there a well

Here's his sales thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&hl=putochip123

Not sure whether he COD there or not haha, but he is known to drive from Alor Setar to KL for COD

1. Buy a Legit copy of windows
2. Insert DVD into Drive.
3. Turn on Laptop, and hit F8 for the boot selection menu (You can hit esc key first to see the various details/options)
4. Select DVD/CD Rom
5. Install Windows 7

Good warranty, then this:
Dell
13"
[Ultrabook] XPS13, i5-2467M + Intel HD3000 + 128GB SSD@RM3499[1.36kg], 4GB, external optical drive
[Ultrabook] XPS13, i5-2467M + Intel HD3000 + 256GB SSD@RM4399[1.36kg], 4GB, external optical drive

*but do take note that these XPS 13 are only running on the older Sandy Bridge platform, not Ivy Bridge. If you would prefer newer technology (and that compatibility issues are not a problem), then can consider the MBA 13 priced at RM3699.

Either the Dell or MBA, do opt for 3 years warranty @RM799

Nah, getting old, not that fast anymore hehe
God lee_what2004 was the fastest

Well, like you said you could always install Windows too in the MBA
ZenBook is very nice to be honest, especially the ZenBook prime with the awesome FullHD IPS screen~ But then you said you wanted good warranty support, Asus is unfortunately not excelling in that particular aspect

I understand what you mean. Dell and Apple would be the best in this case, where the former will involve on-site servicing (within 1-2 working days) + complete cover. Apple involves carry-in and complete cover.

For other manufacturers, you need to carry-in, opt for pick up... and depending on the severity of the problem, might take up to 2 months for repairs. This will result in quite a lot of loss...

Feedbacks on Asus's warranty support : http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2337458

Many are (including me) because its relatively cheaper, and the screen is really tempting
But for most people, its better to have good warranty support I guess

Not sure about the chipset, but I don't think you'll see much of a difference in laptops?
