For me, the Inspiron series are abit less sturdy Added on August 4, 2012, 10:52 pm QUOTE(Anime_fan @ Aug 4 2012, 01:13 PM) 1. Preferred Brand : Vaio, Dell, Hp (anything with good warranty) Sims 3 is not exactly very graphic demanding 2. Budget: Below 3k 3. Usage: School work, games like the sims 3 (with good graphics), watching movies. 4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14" or 13" (is 15" ok for portability? Thank you! Bigger screen will have heavier weight. Can try these: Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2199[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm); backlit keyboard optional HP [Ultrabook] Envy4-1043TX/1053TX, i5-3317U + AMD HD7670M + [32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)]@RM2599[Beats][1.75kg], 4GB, W7HP Pavilion G4-2006/2007/2008TX, i5-3210M + AMD HD7670M@RM2199[2.19kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W7HP These are 14" laptops.

QUOTE(rOnnyJustrOn @ Aug 6 2012, 04:51 PM) Y480 is good choice but i scared to the overheat HD issue because of the placement of HD near to heat pipe. Is it ok? Its true that there is the heat issue regarding the Lenovo Y480 but that doesn't stop people from buying it anyway It there any 15" screen? Because prefer bigger screen. You can get a cooling fan if it helps Asus N56VZ is 15". Another 15" laptop you can consider: Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M@RM2799, 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional The rest with better GPU exceeds your budget |

I'm not sure on that. Some prefer to have SSD and HDD for storage, that is if you're not using the optic drive at all This does not apply to ultrabooks as most of them don't have optic drives.

QUOTE(igmroey @ Aug 8 2012, 06:08 PM) HI guys. I suddenly have a feeling Dell 15R SE may not live up to my need. I am not an avid gamer but would need to have Dota 2 played at full fps high settings without sudden spikes etc. But im not sure whether 15R SE can deliver that. Why would you have that feeling? So looking for another 15.6 inch laptop with gpu GT650M ? And below 2.5k budget ? IS there any ? If not need to opt for Y480. Dota 2 is not exactly graphic demanding. The AMD HD7730M is more than enough to play at high settings. Spikes in game are due to internet connection usually. |
