Don't think most manufacturers will provide such long warranties hmm.gif
Most are 3 years only...
I don't think any laptop fit your requirements.. those with 3 years local limited warranty are either above your budget, or doesn't come with OS  sad.gif

yeap i agree with you...
if u need a laptop with that budged i consider about the asus that i mention above...
with 2years warranty and FREE DOS

The llano-powered Asus would be better in terms of gaming performance if that's what you mean laugh.gif
Even though its a quad core, the CPU performance is not exactly very good, but you could always overclock though  biggrin.gif

I am planning to buy a new laptop; Asus brand prefer, soon. My budget is Rm1500. So, with Rm1500, what's kind of "ultimate" laptop I can get?

It is not for gaming. The usage is more towards internet surfing, watching drama online, downloading and doing paper works. Any suggestion and recommendation?

Most likely I will try to get it at Lowyat Plaza there.

Anyone can tell me which of these suit me light gaming like dota 2, hd movies, surf nets etc.

1. Preferred Brand - None
2. Budget - Around 1.3-1.4k
3. Usage - Normal use and some gaming like dota 2.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14" or above

Currently eyeing on these model. Which has the best performance?
A43TK-VX024 A6-3420 2GB 500GB ATI 7670 14" DOS or
A43SD-VX065 B960 2GB 500GB NVIDIA GT610 2GB 14" DOS or
I3-2350 2GB 500GB NVIDIA GT610 2GB 14" DOS

If not mistaken the A6 is quad core and can run turbo. Will it be any better than the other 2?

1. Preferred Brand
None at this moment

2. Budget
2-3k...

3. Usage
work stuff

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
13.3-14"

well these few days i have been searching hi and low for the "One"

I am incline towards ultrabook, because it is touted to be near my current lappie, or nappie to be precise
my current is EEEPC 901 with 60GB SSD (30x2) and a 12 Cell battery and weighed 1.3kg with the batt
Technically this is enough but the issue is the netbook is my own, and I am thinking of milking the company i work for >10 years, for a new one

my current one could stand up to 8hrs of light workload and is SSD (I prefer this because I am quite rough with my stuff)
and the whole unit is light

So the ultrabook seems to fit me my need
my eyes have just and Hour ago set on Toshiba Portege Z830, cause The lightness and the long batt life fits me perfectly. The less than stellar SSD is not a problem, ans I have grown use to my sloowowowow eeePC one.

The these following issue comes up
- Pricey, 3.5k average (could be less of a problem, company money)
- US microcenter have ~2.6k for the i3 version but this is without Turboboost(not that buying from US is viable)
- Asian version dont have backlit keyboard, not important but felt shortchanged since the price here is not cheaper in anyway
- SSD less than stellar, at the end of the day, a top of the line premium product with crappy drive? where the logic in that?!!
Oh by the way
from all the net picture, I prefer the looks of Z830, with the thin display/overall and squarish profile. Not that into the Dell rounded corners ones, which look less profesional. But still...eh yawn.gif
the newer Z930 is no better, treating malaysian customer as 2nd class buyer

any suggestion? sweat.gif

For this one problem i think T.J should answer it...
im not really capable when it come to ultrabook... blink.gif

I am actually good with Dell design of the Latitude E6400 period
Is seems simple and professional enough for me.
the latest series seems like young 'uns design with the silver accentuation totally wrong for my taste

ultrabooks that i know of
- Asus UX31 - seems popular, also seems like alot of ppl is selling them off, plus the net review of the touch pad is horrendous couple with actually tested asus n45s touch pad, seems both is inferior to my eeepc one
- Lenovo U310?? - not really research on this
- Acer S3/S5 - actually started with this before the toshiba, but the batt life is a let down, along with 32+500 hdd hybrid combo
- HP envy - not researched closely
- HP folio - long batt life, but design bordering on no-compact ultrabook
- Samsung series - Too pricey for the SSD one, lower one lack them
- Dell - recent design does not gell with me
- Fujitsu 722?772? - Nice looking but for sure price high

let just see the Sifu here answer your question..
i cant answer it nicely because im weak in ultrabook... sweat.gif

Apart from the ones with GT630m, can consider this one as well:
HP Pavilion G4-2026TX/2027TX, i3-2350M + AMD HD7670M@RM1999, 4GB, 640GB(5400rpm), W7HP; colors: black/red

For Asus 14" laptop with budget 2k, there are only:

A43Sd- VX419V/420V/421V/422V, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT610M@RM1899[2.4kg], W7HP, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), colors: black/blue/red/white
A43Sm-VX102v, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT630M@RM2099[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB (5400rpm)

A43Sd has a weaker GPU, A43Sm has a better one. It will be more suitable for engineering softwares.
