15.6" notebooks are mostly pretty poor in terms of battery runtimes in return for uber performance, so you might want to compromise a bit on that aspect

Added on October 2, 2012, 11:12 pmDepends on what you want...
If you want a pure gaming machine, the Asus G55 and MSI GE60 would be better picks, with more powerful GPUs and FullHD screens

Is G55 here yet in Malaysia ? How much?

Acer m3 has built in battery. Will it be having any problem using it in long time?

I can't sleep thinking of this. I already purchase the m14x. I miss the 3d screen and the bl-ray drive....
Actually I fall in love with the build of the Alienware.

Most thin-and-lights have built in batteries nowadays
Battery lifespan is muchly dependent on the exposure to heat, so yes, the battery will degrade faster, especially if you are constantly putting the m3 on load or is using the m3 in hot environment

OK guys budget increased... so here goes...

1. Preferred Brand - none

2. Budget - 5-6k

3. Usage - Dota 2, HD movie, if can connect to hotel LCD to play games/ watch movie even better

4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14/15

Hope to use it for next 3 years at least.

Prefer full HD, SSD if possible,

16gb RAM therefore w7HP is a must (if im not wrong)

Wondering if I upgrade/change SSD/RAM will my warranty be void?

GPU min GTX660m

Any suggestion how i can upgrade the cooling system?

Thank you guys! Appreciate your help!

Hi... any help would be appreciated

any way to replace the battery if faulty battery problem occurs?
i didnt know this after only i purchased it... was really
how much will it cost.... :hmmm:

Maybe missed by the great sifus due to many questions here. sorry for inconvinience.

Repost:

Looking for Ultrabook

1. Preferred Brand: Except Acer
2. Budget: RM2.5K to RM3k (the cheaper the better)
3. Usage: Office works (MS Office, presentations), if games only FB games
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 13/14... lightest possible for portability

Thank you so much!

Use the remaining money for RAM upgrade, SSD upgrade, warranty extension

Sure can replace, its just the matter of how much it costs
Should be around a few hundred bucks? better ask Acer to confirm

What you can do now is try to avoid exposing your laptop to heat

If you are willing to sacrifice a little bit of HDD space for faster performance, then the HP Dm3 (Folio 13) would be a good pick since it runs on a full SSD (although it might be an earlier model)
If you're looking for most bang for buck, the Lenovo S400 would be the best pick
Otherwise, its just a matter of personal preference on design and user friendliness~

Then why you ask for recommendations in the 1st place? haha
Anyway, grats on your purchase

Sorry for missing out on your post
Sorry for asking but why would you want a standard voltage processor? Most of the time you won't really need it, summore is for a girl?
Based on your usage, don't really need a normal processor also Just a little bit more RAM and you're good to go haha

Still, if you insist, then this:
