hey thx for making the effort =D
hmm i went to a nerby shop jst nw n the guy recommend this model to me...

Asus A43SD i5-2450M + Nvidia GT6109(2GB)@ (RM1999), 2GB ram, 500GB

hmm is it ok? because i m living in penang Bukit mertajam town area~its kinda hard to find certain models @@

Spec wise - It's not as good as A45VM. The spec is rather old.

As for the price, is it final at RM2k? If it is, its better to take A45VM for newer technology
Maybe you can squeeze out some freebies from him?

okay will do =D thank you very much

HI guys. I suddenly have a feeling Dell 15R SE may not live up to my need. I am not an avid gamer but would need to have Dota 2 played at full fps high settings without sudden spikes etc. But im not sure whether 15R SE can deliver that.

So looking for another 15.6 inch laptop with gpu GT650M ? And below 2.5k budget ? IS there any ? If not need to opt for Y480.

I'm not sure of the weight, can try these:

Asus N56VZ-S4079V, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920 x 1080) + BluRay@RM3599[Bang&Olufsen], 4GB, 1TB, W7HP, subwoofer and backpack
Sager NP6165, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M + (1920x1080)@RM3599, FreeDOS [CPU Options: i5-3210M - i7-3820QM]

Sager units will have to customize at http://www.illegear.com/

Why would you have that feeling?
Dota 2 is not exactly graphic demanding. The AMD HD7730M is more than enough to play at high settings.
Spikes in game are due to internet connection usually.

in Notebookcheck HD 7730 seems to underperform compared to GT650. Underperforming frmo 15% to almost 50% in some games. Then i was thinking that it might not be what i want.

My current laptop is a turion x2 rm-72 with ATI HD3200. Sometimes it cannot even handle the pressure of full team fights causing few seconds of lag when playing just dota 1. This is what i worried about if getting 15R SE when playing dota2. ><

I will look more into Dell 15R SE. thanks PhungTM ! =)


EDIT: Moreover.... i saw the fps framerate on ultra settings for some older games was a bit ><. I want a constant 60fps for dota2 but can't find any games similar to those mentioned in notebookcheck. Lastly.... when i saw the fps rate was by a Dell 15R SE. Makes me even more >< haha.

Try pm hikari85 at garage sales, he/she from Penang. U might get the model u want at better price and COD with seller...

Am dealing with he or she now....waiting for her reply...hikari is reliable right?

Yup.. bought my laptop from her last year.

My laptop processor same as urs but my graphic is Ati 4530 something, when play dota, once war, all ppl spam skill, my screen will lag or freeze for few seconds.

GDDR5 will be better.
