17'' still expensive, looking around G770 also around RM2K..

If around RM 1K, biggest is 15.6'', Lenovo G580
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2508035

I'm wondering about this model, I've seen around some websites (and also Lenovo website) that it comes only with integrated Intel graphic card..
But then some other websites stated that it comes with Nvidia graphic card like stated above. So which one is correct?

The following are the known variants of the Z480:
14:
Lenovo
Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1999, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP, colors: grey/red/blue
Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM2299, 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W7HP,colors: grey/red/blue *EOLed
Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm) W7HB, colors: grey/red/blue

These laptops should come with both an Intel HD4000 and Nvidia GT630/640M; governed by Nvidia Optimus

Ok, I get it.
May I know what is the specs for the Lenovo G770?

Anyone else has any recommendation for 17" laptop below RM2000?

Thank you for help

There isn't one

Ok, no problem. Need to check it out at the garage sale then

Appreciate the help from all of you

Anyway, anyone can give me the specs for the Lenovo G770 mentioned earlier? (for comparison) Thanks

17.3"
Lenovo Ideapad G780, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M + (1600x900)@RM2699[3.0kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm)


Perhaps you can look for 2nd hand units of G770 or Dell Vostro 3750

Oh ok. Thanks for your help! You've been really helpful

Will definitely do. Once again, thanks for the pointers

Ive narrowed down my choice of laptops/ultrabooks and here im considering :

Asus K46CM, Lenovo S400 , Dell Inspiron 14R SE

1. Prefered brand : Anything besides Acer
2. Budger : RM2200
3. Usage : Office, HD movies (Blu-ray), Software Simulation since im Engineering Student.
4. Prefered screen size : 14'" / 15"

Is the 4 Cell battery common for ultrabooks ? Does the battery last compare to 6 cell battery on a notebook ?
Also among the 3 models i considered above, which one u prefer ?

It would be great if any sifu here reply me. Thanks

I've come to the realization that I need a smaller laptop over a powerful laptop, so I'm asking for advice once more.

1. Prefered brand : Anything
2. Budget : RM6000 (give or take)
3. Usage : Adobe Creative suite, movies, light gaming while I'm traveling
4. Prefered screen size : 13" to 15"

I'm after something in the ultrabook class of laptops preferably - something light and easy to carry. I would prefer at least 8gb of ram, latest generation i5+, an SSD (128gb min), and a dedicated graphics card (instead of shared - I will be doing a lot of photoshop work). I know thats a big ask for a small laptop, but I'm hoping there's something on the market that will match my needs. What I don't need is an optical drive, although if it comes with one, thats a plus.

I think Macbook pro retina display is specially design for u
Just my opinion, wait for sifu's reply

I had been thinking the same thing, but my wife doesn't like macs (she would be using it at home when I'm not traveling). I should have said before, sorry. While I can just stick bootcamp on, its very inefficient.

The K46cm and the S400 are ultrabooks, whereas the 14R SE is a normal notebook...
Performance-wise, the 14R SE would definitely be better

4-cells is quite little, not really enough to power a 14" notebook unfortunately

Good recommendation, pretty much that one

Ops, sorry din't see your 2nd post
But the thing is there really isn't any other options, at least not light weight ones...
Closest:
15.6"
Asus N56VZ-S4079V, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920 x 1080) + BluRay@RM3599[Bang&Olufsen], 4GB, 1TB, W7HP, subwoofer and backpack

13.3''
Sony Vaio SVS13A15GGB, i7-3520M + Nvidia GT640M LE + (1600x900)@RM4799[1.67kg], 8GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W7P
Change the HDD to 256GB SSD with the rest of budget

Owh, in that case means 14r se is a better buy? And is it possible to upgrade RAM with an ultrabook? Feel that 2gb of RAM is little .

I'm in the dilemma on which model to choose among the 3 mentioned above. Lol.

1. Preferred Brand : Brand New Asus Only
2. Budget : 1.6k - 2.2k
3. Usage : Gaming , Hopefully i5
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14'' not really mind

thanks
