Ya.... Save the 600 and buy a ssd better

I see. Nowaday i dont really use the cdrom, for formatting purpose only. so is better to buy the cheaper and get ssd as adviced.
How much if extend warranty to 3 years?

these two model,
Y480(5934-7549), i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M (GDDR5) @RM2599 [JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, freeDOS, 2 yrs warranty, P950 headset
Y480(5934-1372), i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650(GDDR5)@RM2699[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, W7HB, 2 years international warranty

is it worth to add on 300-400 for y580 than y480?

Bang for buck still remains the y480...... Need some professional opinion..... is it wiser to wait till the end of October ? or just get it now ?

Seems to be everyone is waiting for the new models......

If you don't mind the size, the FHD Y580 totally worth it over Y480.

is it new model is coming soon? nice

Hard to say......
The 660m is totally same with 650m gddr5
Only different 100mhz and more resolution.
I would rate them same performance.

i see, in that case maybe i just get the y480 if not much different..
a few hundred RM is still big for me

i am on my consideration on Y480 and Y580.... i personally more prefer on bigger screen.... but just wondering the resolution effect big or not...

currently a few hundreds bucks is still consider big for me as year end coming.....haiz....

bro, maybe we can go to look on it in low yat together, ha

Well now external monitor so cheap only

aiyo, i am at johor la...
i always connect to external 19" monitor, so is ok for me if lappy is 14"
a few hundreds bucks is a lot, want to fund for flash for camera...
tight

oh, actually i come from johor too, but working in KL now....inform me if you have buy this notebook, haha

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..

Can't really comment since I'm not using any of those laptops, sorry

It all depends on whether you want a 14" notebook or a 15.6" one.
The Y580 does come with a FullHD screen, you'll have much larger workspace, particularly useful if you are into designing or editing etc., at the expense of portability, of course...
The GTX660m is better than the GT650m when both are running at 1366x768

last question:
this few day i done many reason, still confusing..haiz..
in term of quality,
asus A45Vm-VX113v, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M (2GB)@RM2099[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP
Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1999, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP, colors: grey/red/blue
which is good in quality><!!!

Go and touch and feel them, you be the judge of the quality

ok..thx><!!!

Hi All,

Looking to buy a laptop. Have been searching through this thread but could not find people with similar requirement

1. Preferred Brand - None. Any brand is fine.
2. Budget - < RM1000, if possible.
3. Usage - email, internet, watch downloaded movie, programming (C++, VBA), Excel, light gaming (mostly game from GOG)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 17". Can't compromise on this. I am getting old

Additional:
Don't need OS. I run Linux. Excel is run through Wine or Virtualbox.

I know this is tricky. Really appreciate all your help. Thanks

The cheapest 17''..
Lenovo Ideapad G780, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M + (1600x900)@RM2699[3.0kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm)

Thanks for quick reply

But the spec seems totally overkill for my usage.
Would I have better luck looking for used laptop? If yes, appreciate if you could point me to good place to look. Thank you
