i think u can oway upgrade the 1tb hdd and 16gb ram on your own~
will u be able to get the machine?
thatx d most important factor currently~

1. Any
2. 2.5k
3. some college paper work such as microsoft , gaming scuh as swat 4 and battlefield 1 or 2 .
4. 14" above
5. Most of my friend suggest me get y480 but i need to know other model i can get ......

I've decided on the GT60 gtx680m or gt70 gtx675mx.
I wanna ask does any shop in lowyat or malaysia have these in ready stock? If not, why? I realized most shops are like this, having have to order first.
I prefer just showing up and giving them the full sum of money in person, it's much more easier than waiting a week. Not a rant just asking ^^

haha geez, you're making me impatient.
if i upgrade it by my own, whats the recommended brand for both hdd n ram manufacturer?

i love y580 as it is good enough for gaming, but the down part is heating problem :\
i love y500 coz nobody can say "this is enough for me", but the down part is the battery life.

in your honest opinion which one should i get?

Brand : Asus / Lenovo
Budget : Rm2.8k
Usage : light gaming
Size : 15.6

i want a notebook with good cooling system , any recommendation ?

What is one week, consider the years (hopefully) that you are going to spend with the machine? (am I sounding corny? )

Added on November 25, 2012, 8:44 pmFirst, let's list down the laptop you can afford for gaming:

Asus
15.6"
A55VJ-SX093H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT635M@RM2499[2.52kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8; color: black
[Ultrabook] S56CM-XX090H i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB@RM2199[2.3kg], 2GB, W8; color: black
N56VZ-S3151H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 750GB, W8; color: black

Lenovo
15.6"
Ideapad Z580, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W7HB, white
Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), freeDOS, white
Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2699, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB, white
Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB/W8, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty

Best for gaming is the Y580 due to the GPU.
In absolute term, none here has a "good" built in cooling system The question you have to ask: is the laptop cooling system good enough to cool the hardware it carry?
S56 being an ultrabook, not ideal.
A55, Z580 (the i5 spec), N56 (the i5 spec, not the more expensive i7 spec) has enough to cool the laptop under normal use.
Y580, you need a cooling pad or other external cooling solution.

But I will suggest you do NOT put anyone of these on your lap when you game

In my opinion, the only 15.5" laptop with good built in cooling system is:
Asus
G55VW-S1216H, i7-3610QM +Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080)@3999[3.78kg], 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8
To notch fan, layout, air inlet / outlet, heatsink.

SWAT4, Battlefied 1 and 2 are not very graphic demanding since they are old games
Perhaps you can consider these instead:
14"
Asus A45VS-VX026H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2199[2.4kg], 2GB, 1TB, W8
Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2049[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), W7HP/W8
Lenovo Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm) W7HB, colors: grey/red/blue

*use remaining money for warranty extension (particularly for Dell).
Although the GPU in the notebooks above are not as great as the one in the Y480, but you do have remaining budget for warranty upgrades, and at the same time not compromising on gaming performance for the games you'd mentioned

so..Y580 is a good choice. But i heard now there's another lenovo one with dual graphic cards? And can slot in another Harddisk? so both ssd and HDD/hybrid?

Also whats the price range now for a Y580, if i only wanted dos, 500gb 7200 hdd, non-blueray and 8gb ram?

Brand : Asus / Lenovo / Asus
Budget : Rm2.1k
Usage : casual gaming, student
Size : 14 inch

my sis wanna buy laptop, she play starcraft 2, torchlight 2, the sims this sort of games. Currently eye-ing on z480 lenovo, but looking for lighter alternative. Any ultrabook tat can play all the games at medium settings?

The one capable of dual GPUs is the new Lenovo Y500:
Ideapad Y500, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M@RM3799, 4GB, 500GB, W8; GN36 exGPU, 170W AC adapter

As for the Y580, below are the available variants:
Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB/W8, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty
Ideapad Y580, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3599[JBL], 8GB, 1TB HDD(7200rpm), W7HP, backlit keyboard, 2 years international warranty
Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3999[JBL], 8GB, 32GB mSATA + 1TB HDD, W7HP, backlit keyboard, 2 years warranty

If you are looking for a light-weight notebook capable of gaming, then the Asus K46 would be a good choice, featuring a pretty decent GPU
14"
Asus [Ultrabook]K46CM-WX090H, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M@RM2199[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8, OD

Finding laptop for college
Preferred brand= Lenovo/Asus/Acer
Budget= 2-2.5k
Usage= Casual gaming, and potential usage in IT field, studying IT now

Was looking into lenovo y480 and y580, any thoughts?

If you can afford the Y480, then go for it
Its the best notebook around at the moment~

hi guys, i'm looking for a new laptop here...please do have some recommendations


preferred brand: asus (can recommend other competitor brands too)
budget: less than rm2k
usage= some simple programming like DEV C++, microsoft visual C++ for assignments

thanks!!

Hi all, I'm looking a laptop:

1. Preferred Brand: No preference.
2. Budget: Maximum cap at RM2000
3. Usage: For college assignment and playing full HD movies.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: At least 14 inch screen.

Thank you.

College assignment is too wide, give more info like doing which type of assignment(light like powerpoint, heavy like rendering)

Thank you for highlighting this. Mostly using Microsoft Office and Photoshop. So I don't need GPU only good RAM and CPU. Any suggestion?

1. Preferred Brand: No preference.
2. Budget: Maximum cap at RM2000
3. Usage: For college assignment (using Microsoft Office & Photoshop) and playing full HD movies.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: At least 14 inch screen.

Having a dedicated GPU will also help smoothen later versions of Photoshop~
Try to go for these two if possible:
14"
Asus A45VS-VX026H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2199[2.4kg], 2GB, 1TB, W8
Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2049[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), W7HP/W8

Otherwise, get these:
14"
Dell Inspiron 14R, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1899[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP/W8
Lenovo G480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT635M@RM1899, 4GB, 1TB (5400rpm), W8, 2 yrs warranty

*Try to extend warranty to 3 years if possible too~

These perhaps?
15.6"
Dell Inspiron 15, i5-3210M + Intel HD4000@RM1549[2.4kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu Linux 11.10; W7HB/W8@RM1709
Lenovo Ideapad G580, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1699, 2GB, 500GB, freeDOS, 1 yr warranty

*use remaining budget for warranty extension
