any information on this model or any there other models forumers would recommend?

Woah you actually reply everybody personally huh I really appreciate the info thanks

The Asus you're talking about is the Lamborghini one right? I like automobile themes but this one is a little too flashy for my taste.
Netbooks aren't normally sold with SSDs anymore right? ): I have to decrease my budget then because I just can't tahan HDDs anymore haha
What are some good netbooks below 1.5k? I guess screen size don't matter much but 1080p is a must. I'll forget bout gaming Priority is fast, snappy, no slow downs and great to use

My current mac is dying, i'll need a new laptop for my work (as multimedia designer), pls recommend :-)

1. Preferred Brand: NONE, but definitely not mac with my budget
2. Budget: not more than 3.5k
3. Usage: high performance on heavy graphics,video rendering software eg: adobe cs6 softwares, dreamweaver, 3D, no gaming.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14~15", lightweight and slim
5. At least quad core, is it possible to get with SSD if within my budget?

question here
is there any upcoming dell's laptops that has the same spec with xps 15z cause there is no 15z already ?

and where can i look for any upcoming laptop ?. link please
arigato

Err.. Fullhd notebooks are usually around rm3000 or more bro... Rm1.5k can barely get u anything with great performance
Perhaps u can find the following model, try to bargain and upgrade the HDD to SSD:
"
Dell Vostro V131, i3-2350M + Intel HD3000@RM1799[1.82kg], 4GB, 320GB(7200rpm), anti-glare, W7HB, colors: silver/red

Added on July 31, 2012, 12:04 amCan consider these two:
15.6"
Asus N56VZ-S4079V, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920 x 1080) + BluRay@RM3599[Bang&Olufsen], 4GB, 1TB, W7HP, subwoofer and backpack
Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional

The Dell would be the better pick imho even though nvidia cards are better supported.. U should be able to get one at around RM2.9k if you bargain... Use the rest of the money to extend warranty to 3 years
Can consider upgrading to SSD too if budget permits.. U could always upgrade later on yo~^^

Added on July 31, 2012, 12:07 amBased on Dell Malaysia's fb page, it seems like they have no intentions of bringing in the xps uultrabook (which is probably a replacement for the xps 15z as well...) sad

1.Preferred brand:Asus or Lenovo
2.Budget: around 1.5k
3.Usage:For a student, medium gamer..
4.Preferred Screen Size:14-15'...lightweight and portable
5.Core:Strictly i3...wondering if there i5 within my budget??
my name is ben-g

This one would be the closest:
HP Pavilion G4-2026TX/2027TX, i3-2350M + AMD HD7670M@RM1699, 4GB, 640GB(5400rpm), W7HP; colors: black/red

Has a GPU equivalent to a GT630M (which you can get at around RM2k or so ), has good speakers too~
The price is in RRP, so you can still bargain~

hi just curious what are the laptop series that are below Rm3K and still use IPS panel? *dont want MAC

Don't think there is one, even Macs
For Android systems, then can consider the Asus Transformer Prime/ Infinity

Such a SHAME -.- I am too use to viewing my screen from diff angle from my bed/sofa -.-

haha

Maybe got, but not available in Bolehland here..

Those with IPS screens are more expensive
How about getting a normal laptop and a good external monitor?

doesnt make any sense on bed/sofa... really.

*I was actually hoping got such thing exist without ridiculous low spec.

hi i like some help in buying a new laptop:

1. brand: no dell or acer
