Hi all,
I have an ancient Toshiba M40 and has decided it's time to change (the screen is pretty much dead with 70% of it looking like sketch painting). 1. Preferred Brand: Open to all brands (but looking forward to good recommendations) 2. Budget: <RM2.5k 3. Usage: Just home usage (light; online, simple photo editing, watch movie - basic entertainment) 4. Preferred laptop/screen size: Ideally portable; so less than 15'' Highly appreciate the recommendations from you guys!  |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Aug 9 2012, 01:29 PM) The Y480 is a pretty good choice, but its a bit overkill if its not used for gaming at all Hi, thanks for the reply.Perhaps this one would be better? 14" HP Pavilion Dm4-3105TX, i5-3210M + AMD HD7570M@RM2699[Beats], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard Price is in RRP, bargain abit I think Y480 is a bit overkill as well as I don't do heavy gaming or any gaming in fact! Was thinking of Lenovo U410...between that and the HP Pavilion you mentioned, which would be better? However at the mo, I dunno wanna get the laptop yet (though desperate with the current screen giving such a problem)...should or should I not wait for Windows 8?  |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Aug 15 2012, 10:30 AM) The HP is better in terms of CPU and GPU performance, whereas the U410 is better in terms of battery life. Between the 2 notebooks, what are their price range?I think the U410 is the better choice here since you're not using the laptop for any heavy tasks, summore the U410 comes with mSATA, which will help decrease loading speeds I think most manufacturers are offering upgrades to W8 (when it comes out) for current buyers  **However I've read that the U310/410 has wifi problems, the range is rather short Here's a review on the laptop: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo...ok.79644.0.html Added on August 15, 2012, 10:48 am Its more like a multimedia machine  For gaming, the Lenovo Y480 would be the better pick Thinking of getting the laptop this weekend and preferring Lenovo as some users face issues with HP. If I go for Lenovo U410, what would the recommended specs be and the price as well? Thanks. |
