Hi! I'm considering of buying a new laptop. I really need your help.

1. Brand: Any, as long as it fulfills the criteria I want.
2. Budget: <RM2K, the less the better.
3. Usage: Assignments, multimedia (Photoshop, video editing softwares, movies, etc)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: <14", preferably HD

p.s I'm a student, not in multimedia course. Since I have interest in such things that's why I want a high performance and low-priced laptop.

Suggestions/recommendations are welcomed, and thank you

Should I just buy laptop with windows 7 or wait for windows 8 to come out first ?

I read that it will be out on 26 october. Isn't ?

Thankss

Pretty much only these two.
The sound system is almost the same, maybe Asus sounds better with the subwoofer.
But Lenovo have better GPU.

So it depends on which you personally like

Can try these:

Acer V3-471G-53212G50k/g/s, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1999[2.3kg], 2GB, 500GB black,gold,silver, Olympic, 3 years warranty
Asus A45Vm-VX113v, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M (2GB)@RM2099[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP
Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2199[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm); backlit keyboard optional
HP Pavilion G4-2006/2007/2008TX, i5-3210M + AMD HD7670M@RM2199[2.19kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W7HP

Hello, thank you very much for the recommendations here! The list is awesome!

Aside from the brands recommended, are there any powerful ultrabook for Lenovo? My previous laptop was a Lenovo and I had full confidence in that brand.

Y480 with gt650 2gb ddr5... Rm2379 without windows...weight around 2.2kg

By the way, I've come to the last 2 contenders in my notebook buying list:

ASUS N56VZ (i5 + GT650M) vs Lenovo Y480 (i7 + GT650M)

I have great difficulties in choosing one of em'...
On one hand, the N56VZ has extremely nice design + 15.6 display, less the Quad i7 processor with higher price tag, and on the other hand the Y480 packs amazing power within its bulky and a rather-too-plain look with much cheaper price tag. So one is value for design whilst the other a value for performance

This is a battle you have to fight on your own
You've done your homework, so just choose which suits your taste.

Personal preference
Or just get both

I think the Asus one is plain look...


I've checked at Asus and Lenovo website... it stated Asus N56VZ - 2.7KG and Lenovo Y480 - 2.2KG

lol, get both? then I would rather get the Asus G series notebook if I got that kind of money, haha and yea, its a hard battle tho, both are the same character that I would hope it wont lose to the other, argh

Yea, if u see it from online the Asus certainly look dull and the Lenovo otherwise, but I get to see them in real, and I can confirm it is totally opposite. The Y480 certainly not quite the looker tho (sorry Y480 users/fans, its just my own preference) hmm, the weight did make me think for awhile but then again, I'm not going to carry it around all the time, so meh

1. Brand: need prefer
2. Budget: RM2k-2.3k
3. Usage: Multimedia
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14/15.6 inch

Yo, try searching for the one I stated in my comment above (Lenovo Y480 is the best if you must stay on that budget, might as well check the ASUS A45VM). I'm sure you will like it as well. Cheers

yeah... its true as well... different ppl, different preferences..

Here are some reference video of gaming on different notebook:

ASUS N55


Lenovo Y480 - This is using the Nvidia GT640M, the newest now has GT650M so you can expect better performance


ASUS A55VM/K55VM


Hope it helps
