Heyy guys,

Brand : None

Budget : Below 3k

Usage : Mostly listening to songs & Surfing + SLIGHT gaming : fighting games eg. Street Fighter 4, & RE 5.

Screen : 14~15.6

Additional Preferences : Global Warranty a MUST, at least 2 years. Intel i5. Clear screens.

Currently I'm looking into Asus N56. Is there any other models for me to compare with?? The Speaker and subwoofer are the main attractions but if I could get a cheaper laptop with similar specs, it could be compensated with good-quality earphones.

Thanks a million smile.gif
*
The N56 would be a good pick, otherwise, its the Lenovo Y480; it also comes with 2 years international warranty iinm (you can extend the warranty if you want, of course nod.gif)
14"
Lenovo Y480, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650(GDDR5)@RM2499[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, FreeDOS

The graphic card in the Y480 is slightly better than the one in the N56

Wanna ask which one is better?

1)V3-571G-73614G1T, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2899[2.6kg], 4GB, 1TB
2)Aspire 5755G-72674G1T i7-2670QM + Nvidia GT630M(2GB)@RM2899, 1TB

Comparing this two, what is the big different between'em?? smile.gif

(1) is newer compared to (2), particularly in terms of CPU and GPU.
(1) is also more powerful than (2) in terms of CPU and GPU performance.
(2) is already EOL-ed iinm, so (1) would be the better pick nod.gif

Maybe a tablet is better? More intuitive and straightforward to use, and can work as a boredom killer as well.

+1!
Tablets would be better picks since they are much easier to learn and use.
They're easier to bring around too thumbup.gif

Hi All,

I want to buy a laptop for playing Diablo III (long hours), just want to know, which laptop suit my needs the most?

1. Preferred Brand - Any
2. Budget - RM 2,500 to RM 3,000
3. Usage - Playing Diablo III for long hours
4. Preferred laptop/screen size- 14" or 15"

Personally, I very keen to Lenovo Y480 and Y580, but I very concern about their heating issues and I also not sure that whether Y480 and Y580 can handle long hours for gaming.

Please enlighten me. TQVM!~ smile.gif

Then try to get the Asus N56 then, the larger chassis will enable better heat dissipation, and you could spend the remaining money on a better cooler nod.gif

Can consider a Dell Precision M4600 then nod.gif
Customize it here: http://configure.ap.dell.com/dellstore/con...s=bsd&cs=mybsd1

Try to go for a powerful quad-core i7 processor, and lots of RAM (16GB would be more than enough), upgrade to FullHD screen for larger workspace, and get an SSD brows.gif
Dell's warranty support is top notch (on-site), so no problems there (up to 5 years warranty) nod.gif

Thanks so much for the options, but what do you think of the lenovo y580? had my eye on that for awhile, even though the full hd one is not out yet, im willing to wait or maybe go for the lower reso one.

The GPU inside is really powerful = more heat laugh.gif
It all depends on you, if you are not willing to sacrifice in terms of gaming performance, then definitely the Y580 (which is around RM3.2-3.3k) hmm.gif

Kind sifus, I'm looking for a portable netbook to carry around because my PC already serves as my main rig.

No preferred brand, good specs and value>Branding
Budget under 1.5k but can go up to 2k
Used for college, work and internet surfing
12" is a nice screen size sweat.gif

I'm hoping maybe a netbook with an SSD as i use a external HD for storage but I don't see SSDs anymore  blink.gif
Really that's about it, but better graphics performance is a welcome because I might consider playing old games on the fly  nod.gif
*
There are only a handful of 12" notebooks out there, and almost all of them doesn't have a dGPU...
12" notebooks are pretty expensive because of the smaller profile which is harder to cramp all the hardware inside sad.gif

Closest would be:
Samsung 3 series NP350U2B, i3-2350M + Intel HD3000@RM2099, 4GB, 500GB, W7HP *earlier variants i.e. i3-2310M can fetch at around RM1.5k only... However, you might wanna check/ wait for Ivy Bridge versions (if there is one)... especially if you only want a 12" subnotebook

AND

Asus VX6S-ORA015M, Atom D2700 + AMD HD6470M@RM1799[1.5kg], color: orange *it has a dGPU, but the CPU is rather weak (netbook processor), but it sure looks great, and the craftsmanship is top notch...

If you are unwilling to compromise in terms of performance, then you might wanna consider 13" notebooks, you'll get more bang-for-buck there

Yeah that worries me too.. but perhaps with a heavy duty cooling pad, will it be alright? as i will only be gaming back in my room so having a big bulky cooling pad is not a problem for me.. How's the performance so far? for the y580? 1 more question, is the screen glaring under sunlight? i'm kind of set for the y580, but waiting for the full HD version to release in malaysia first.

Woah you actually reply everybody personally huh rclxms.gif I really appreciate the info thanks

The Asus you're talking about is the Lamborghini one right? I like automobile themes but this one is a little too flashy for my taste.
Netbooks aren't normally sold with SSDs anymore right? ): I have to decrease my budget then because I just can't tahan HDDs anymore haha
What are some good netbooks below 1.5k? I guess screen size don't matter much but 1080p is a must. I'll forget bout gaming biggrin.gif Priority is fast, snappy, no slow downs and great to use

Err.. Fullhd notebooks are usually around rm3000 or more bro... Rm1.5k can barely get u anything with great performance sad.gif
Perhaps u can find the following model, try to bargain and upgrade the HDD to SSD:

2. Budget: not more than 3.5k
3. Usage: high performance on heavy graphics,video rendering software eg: adobe cs6 softwares, dreamweaver, 3D, no gaming.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14~15", lightweight and slim
5. At least quad core, is it possible to get with SSD if within my budget?

Can consider these two:
15.6"
Asus N56VZ-S4079V, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920 x 1080) + BluRay@RM3599[Bang&Olufsen], 4GB, 1TB, W7HP, subwoofer and backpack

The Dell would be the better pick imho even though nvidia cards are better supported.. U should be able to get one at around RM2.9k if you bargain... Use the rest of the money to extend warranty to 3 years nod.gif
Can consider upgrading to SSD too if budget permits.. U could always upgrade later on yo~^^
