Getting Started Junior Member 193 posts Joined: Aug 2009	Need recommendation for a laptop 1. Brand: Dell, Sony, Toshiba 2. Budget: RM 2k-3k 3. Usage: Multimedia and some heavy browsing 4. Screen size: Preferably 15.6", but 14" is okay as well Why Dell? Reliable after sales service and relatively cheap for good specs. Should I go for their Inspiron line or Vostro line? Why Toshiba? My friend and some online survey says it's reliable. But their design is really horrible. Why Sony? Their E-series has a very nice design and I like that their touchpad is somewhat similar to Apple's Macbook. But expensive! Also, when you recommend, can you please list down the prices? Thanks!

I was really disappointed with my brother's Inspiron 15R screen (HD WLED 1366x768). It looks the same like my work laptop, HP Elitebook 8440p screen (1366x768 LCD). Since I will be using my laptop for movies, etc. I want a really good display. But so far the 1920x1080 displays I've found are the Asus N56VZ-4079V & Dell Inspiron 15R SE i7. But both are not within my budget. So, do you know which brands have good displays?

Getting Started Junior Member 193 posts Joined: Aug 2009	QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Jul 20 2012, 03:39 PM) Unfortunately laptops with FullHD and good screens are not cheap You can try to bargain for the Dell Inspiron 15R SE, one of my friends managed to get a quotation for this unit at RM2.7k only.. Here's a review on the unit: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-I...ok.78323.0.html Wow, how did he get it at that price? Buy from which shop?
