Please kindly follow the format so that we can recommend you better

sorry for the previous post

brand : prefer asus, but any other brand are acceptable. im no fussy

budget : RM1200-1600

usage : mainly will be use for study and play some games ( dota and fifa)

screen size : 14' or biggah.

PS : does FIFA12 required really super laptop or the laptop within my range are sufficient

Dota and FIFA are not really graphic demanding games, rest assured
Still, it'll be good to have a dedicated graphic card to churn out more graphic power
Can consider this one:
14"
Dell Inspiron 14, i3-3110M + Nvidia GT620M@RM1699[2.1kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB; W7HP@RM1749

If you prefer something cheaper (and weaker of course), then this:
14"
Dell Inspiron 14, i3-3110M + Intel HD4000@RM1299[2.1kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu Linux 11.10; W7HB@RM1459

15.6"
Dell Inspiron 15, i3-3110M + Intel HD4000@RM1459[2.4kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB

i am using dell rite now. old one. inspiron 1420. its always heated up quickly. does these newer model having the same problem?

what does the different between Nvidia, Intel HD? any other recommendation?

btw thx!

The Inspiron 1420 was a problematic model
The newer ones should be better now

In general, newer Nvidia graphic cards are mostly non-integrated and are more powerful, whereas Intel HD graphic cards are integrated and are less powerful (but more power saving)..
Can consider this one as well, if you don't mind the FreeDOS (no windows- need to install yourself)
14"
Asus A43TK-VX024 , AMD A6-3420M + AMD HD7670M@RM1399, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS

what does AMD A6 stand for? what major different from those i3/i5/i7??

no worries, my fren got extra window7 for one more.

all the pricing are based on inside LYN or it is the general pricing?

once again, thanks a lot.!

hi there, i would like some advice on choosing a laptop too.

brand: any will do
budget: 2k
usage: some autocad or any other engineering stuff (studying civil engineering if it helps)
screen size: >14"

so far i have seen, the best deal seems to be the dell inspiron SE. is this the best deal or could i get an even better deal? Thanks in advance

AMD A6 is an AMD Fusion APU which is basically a combination of CPU and GPU, do Google for more details
These APUs are generally weaker in terms of CPU but better in terms of GPU when compared to Intel counterparts with integrated GPUs...

Al the pricings are based on official RRP, means can still bargain

Its the best deal currently

if the se is the best deal, should i get the 15" our the 14". as far as i know, the gpu of 14 only slightly better than that of 15. any thought?

Performance should be more or less similar, so its basically down to whether you like a more portable laptop, or whether you prefer Nvidia over AMD

so i have read the info regarding both. lot of ppl said that it is better to get the A6 than i3 for occasional gamer. but for work/study intel would be better. does this true? if you are a student looking for laptop for study and a bit of gaming what laptop you would choose within my budget?

^ The A6 is suitable for those who are looking for acceptable gaming performance but doesn't have a high budget <RM1500. It all depends on you, if your priority is gaming, then the Asus A43Tk, if your priority is studies (more than just normal office work), then Inspiron 14

thnks sifu will decide either one.

Thank you for your advice guys...
I'll most probably get a Y580 then

my budget around rm3000~which laptop can get for gaming purpose?

if you like 15''
Lenovo Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HBasic, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty, P950 headset
if you like 14''

hello sifu...
i found that some of ppl complain about the leenovo z480 the connection of 10/100 ethernet LAN. and i check that the acer and asus provide giga ethernet lan. else big different? i jz use laptop to download some movie, playing games.. and studies purpose..

Hi Sifu,
I'm wondering which one to buy between these 2.. My friend said Dell overheats pretty fast compare to Lenovo. Is that true?
Which one do you think is better?

Different laptops have different cooling systems... Just because your friend's Dell overheats doesn't mean that all Dell laptops overheats
There are no reviews for the Z480 yet, so its pretty hard to comment on the heat

Here's a review on the 14R SE (spec may differ): http://www.thinkdigit.com/Laptops-and-PCs/...view_10482.html
