Hello everyone
I just would like to know if anyone here has bought that laptop? Apparently it's quite new and I couldn't find any reviews online so it'd be great if someone can help me here. I spent some time with it yesterday but I need to know if there's any specific issues with the laptop. Thanks |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Jul 27 2012, 04:22 PM) Shouldn't you be the one offering the specifications and review? Haha nice one. Well I spent less than 10 minutes on the laptop so couldn't say much. I especially like the matte screen though. Here's the spec: Samsung 5 series users are pretty uncommon here unfortunately   The Samsung Series 5 535 13.3-inch (1366x768 resolution) laptop sports an AMD dual-core A6-4455M APU clocked at 2.1GHz, Radeon HD 7500G graphics, 4GB of DDR3-1333 memory (supports up to 8GB), 500GB 5400 RPM hard drive, 1.3MP webcam, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GbE LAN, HDMI output, a pair of USB 2.0 ports, a single USB 3.0 port, 4-in-1 memory card reader, and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Taken from here A6-4455M is considered as "high mid range CPU" according to here : http://www.cpubenchmark.net/mid_range_cpus.html It's really attractive at RM1899... Added on July 27, 2012, 4:45 pmIn terms of looks and build quality the laptop is very similar to Samsung Series 5 with Intel processors. Here This is a review of Samsung Series 5 (Intel) by Engadget if anyone is interested. This post has been edited by lamputinggi: Jul 27 2012, 04:46 PM |

QUOTE(nik1993 @ Jul 30 2012, 08:51 PM) please recommend shop around jb/skudai ? My personal preference would be Navotech (used to be at Landmark but now I think they moved to Danga City Mall (DCM) ) but I don't know if they sell this laptop. I cannot remember the name of the shop that I went to see the laptop but it's also in DCM.

@cstkl1
I did try to search at the ultrabook thread but to no avail. Imma noob. Thanks very much for your feedbacks. This would be a perfect laptop for me if it has a backlit keyboard but at RM1899/RM1800 one should not complain lol. Btw what kind of adapter do you need for the VGA to work? Mini-VGA to VGA?

QUOTE(cstkl1 @ Jul 31 2012, 11:40 AM) Previous experience always get a notebook approved. U dont want it to fail during presentation in board meetings 9 hours?! Impressive. So got a hp adapter. Cost rm 150. Got it from hp in lyp.Samsung has but have to order. Rm109 i think. The 530 series comes with and so does my 9 series. Btw if the bluetooth cannot be disabled with the wifi on. When u use eco mode without wifi and bluetooth. Ure power consumption drops to half. I hit 9 hours the other day doing some office stuff under samsung optimzed setting. U can check power consumption in samsung utilities This laptop is cheaper i think cause it doesnt need a ssd to boot. Amd trinity tech takes cares of it. Oh yeah another con. The embedded ram inside is 4gb but ure cpu takes 512mb for its gc. So left 3.5gb. It runs in single channel only. But on. Bright note. Its enough mem actually since its dual core and u wont be running anything mem intensive. I installed the other 4gb. I think it's safe to say that for RM1899 there is no better alternative out there, is it? Thin, light and decent performance for normal usage. |
