Hi sifus,
My sister needs help in buying a laptop.

1. Preferred Brand : Not Acer
2. Budget : less than RM 1700
3. Usage : Microsoft Office, Browsing, Downloading, Watching movies, Photoshop, light online gaming, Gaming (The Sims).
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: Don't mind

Btw, she'd prefer if it comes with Windows already installed.
Thanks!

is the asus ux32 worth a buy? between this ultrabook zenbook series vs the other model the k46cm which one is better? from specs both seems to be identical

That's quite a lot to ask for
Can consider this?
14"
Dell Inspiron 14, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT620M@RM1599[2.1kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu Linux 11.10; W7HB@RM1799

Haha.. Yeah she have a lot of request lol
Does the Dell model that you mention comes with Windows instead of Linux?
And what is your recommendation if the budget is increased to RM2,000?
Thanks!

thx bro but i've noticed 1 thing, all laptops you've suggested are all RM2k+, my budget states RM1.5k to 1.7k~

any more suggestions say if budget it RM 1.7k?

please and thanks bro~

the K46cm is also aluminium finished like the ux32?
how much difference the performance of GT620 and 635?

Hmm I am a pharmacy student (if that info even helps) Is an ultrabook sufficient for a student or should I get a performance laptop? I am also looking at laptops that are relatively fast..

The M840 sold in Harvey is i5 (they are selling i5 and i7 apparently) The price for M840 (i5) is about the same as HP 1035TU (i3)..so which laptop should I get? i5 or i3? 

hai sifus.there are somethings playing in my mind.
how does y480 i7 3630qm look?is it brushed metal or the one with orange line??
and i saw on lenovo site,z480 specs said it comes with gt630.but in the picture,also in lenovo site said it comes with gt640.which one is it?

the price for m840 is about RM2000. cheaper than the HP 1035..

Alright. Thanks for your recommendations!

Oh okay..Thanks for the advice though

Wait a minute..it is about RM2000 for the i5 model..I am 99% sure of it

hello ... need help...
i plan to going buy a laptop around rm2200 and below..
any recommend?
the asus A45vm and the A45vd else has big different??
the acer v3 also look good.
which 1 more better??? or has any other laptop i can consider??

Btw, may I know what is GPU? lol..sorry I'm such a Noob at this.

HI TS,

i'm considering Asus K46M, just wonder is this the new model and how long it had been in the local market?
and do u have any recommended shop for Asus retailer? Or just get it from Harvey Norman or Seng Heng?
I dun think there are any offcial Asus direct retail stores right? all of them are thru distributor?
Another question is how many yrs of warranty carry by Asus and issit International or local warranty?

Thank You and really apprecaite ur hard work especially on the pricing thread, really do help folks around in making decision...keep up the good work

thanks for recommend...
laptop i plan to use more than 2 year..
actually which brand quality is better??
i heard that asus quality good but the after sales services like sucks.
the acer quality like no so good, and services also so so ...
how about the lenova services? and did you know the price for y480?
if for you choose, acer v3, asus a45vm (rm2099), dell inspiron 14R and lenova z480 and lenova y480( if around 2.4k).

thx for ur prompt reply
The only diff is the 24GB SSD with the S46CM for prompt startup..which i but i dun think i do need it..
hmm..from ur experience issit wiser to get it from HN or any computer shop in LY? interms of discount and gift bundle?

z480 warranty is 2 year international warranty？?
this model usb is 2.o only? the graphic is 2gb??
y480 like over my budget.
from you recommend i will choose out if this 3.. but still confusing, which to choose@.@!!
i jz hope the laptop won't have any problem, give me play some games, study use purpose, write some report.

1. Acer V3-471G-53214G75, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM2099[2.3kg], 2GB, 750GB W7HP, 3 years warranty
