Hmm, if the specs are i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M and FreeDOS, then its quite worth it
Do make sure that the warranty is valid right after purchasing ya~

Try to get this one if you can still find one
14"
Lenovo Y480 (5934-1161), i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650(GDDR5)@RM2499[JBL], 4GB(1600mhz), 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, FreeDOS, 2 years international warranty

If no, then these:
14"
Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2199[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm); backlit keyboard optional
Lenovo Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm) W7HB, colors: grey/red/blue

Use the remaining money for 3 years onsite warranty extension

i see thanks, mind if i ask what is FreeDos? the lenovo sounds sweet, has backlit keyboard and i7 proc

This is what she told me...

Intel® Core™ i5-3210M (2.50Ghz, 3MB L3 Cache)
Dos
14" WXGA LED
4GB
500GB
Nvidia GT630M 2GB


Just reply her PM ask about warranty and lenovo servis center nearest me....

FreeDOS means it doesn't come with Windows 7...
non-FreeDOS version is abit out of your budget unfortunately:

Y480(5934-1372), i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650(GDDR5)@RM2699[JBL], 4GB(1600mhz), 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, W7HB, 2 years international warranty

But the thing is that we've heard that the price of this particular laptop has spiked to RM3k... which is why I ask you to go find and see whether you can still get at the aforementioned price or not
The Y480 is the best bang-for-buck budget (RM2.5k) gaming rig at the moment~

Thanks. I'll check this two out
i5-3317U is ULV processor, right?
Wonder how it stands against i3-3310M. Still looking for reviews on this i3 Ivy

The i3-3110M is a normal processor clocked at 2.4Ghz vs the 1.7Ghz in the ULV i5-3317U... so its relatively more powerful in terms of CPU
No official benchmarks yet for the i3-3110M though..

any recommendation for a college student like me?
usage: doing assignments, gaming, watching movie
budget: 3.5k-4k
(no acer)
thanks

Hello experts,

I have some specific requirements but it seems so hard to find a machine to fit them all:

1) Screen under 13"
2) USB3
3) Gigabit Ethernet
4) HDD (not SSD)

Budget is flexible - just seems so hard to find a single machine with all the above. Can anyone help?

1. any
2. < rm 1500
3. for gaming(pes,racing game) , surf internet and downloading, watching movies
4. preferred laptop 14"

thanks

Not too sure about (3) , don't know much about them, most laptops should have an ethernet port, but I'm not sure whether Gigabit or not
