Your gf has good taste

Just a quick question.

Are there any laptops with GT640m (DDr5) that are available in Malaysia?



--

Happy New Year guys!

Official channel? Don't think so.
Want to overclock? GT650M DDR5 is easier lah (to get to GTX660M level I mean ... )
Unlike US, where most brands is customisable, Malaysia most brands have fixed specs (and also a lot less models), so the chances to find amazing cheap gem is a lot less ....

Of course. Haha

Hello there, all sifus.

Basically, I will be leaving to Australia next february to continue my studies. And I need a good laptop, with international warranty and good capabilities.

1. Preferred Brand = 1. Dell, 2. Asus, 3. any except (acer & apple)
2. Budget = around Rm3000
3. Usage = Assignment, Engineering projects, multimedia, video chat, online & offline gaming (not hardcore gaming like Diablo 3, etc.)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size = 13.3-14 and also light weight as I may have to carry them to classes, etc.

Any suggestion?

14" notebooks arent very heavy with the power brick brought along. they will be around 3kg. are those above ok for you?

Hi all sifu, wan to ask something here...is the Acer Timeline Ultrabook M3-581TG-53316G5 a good and reliable laptop for normal usage and light gaming? is there any hardware or software issues with this ultrabook?

thanks in advance and happy new year to all~~~

in my experience, acer build quite good laptops, but they will die in a prematured age, like after 2 years. for hardware and software issues, let the warranty deal with it.

my recommendation is that buy acer laptops with extended warranty to overcome unwanted further problems. and yes, its good for normal usage and light gaming.

1. Preferred Brand - Asus , Acer , Sony
2. Budget - max 2.5k
3. Usage - Moderate Gaming (MOBA, fps)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14'

Would like a stylish laptop (light , thin and can choose other than dull black color)

Hello all,

I purchased a Dell Inspiron 14 (N4050) with very good specs at its price of RM1,999 last year, but it was disastrous. I had to get the motherboard changed TWICE within the span of 6 months. I ended giving the laptop to my little sis.

So I'm a bit traumatized here. I am a very poor student and I need recommendations for a new laptop.

1. Preferred Brand - Acer maybe? Not Dell or HP.
2. Budget - around 2k
3. Usage - I run bioinfomatics programs locally, so I need something that runs reasonably well.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14-15" +-

I'm thinking of getting Lenovo G480 as seen here: http://i45.tinypic.com/2qp8z.jpg @RM1.999. I might get extended warranty. Any thoughts? I would love more recommendations. Thanks!!

EDIT: Two posts before me recommended ASUS A45VS-VX026H and that has a better GPU than Lenovo G480 with the same CPU. So this is definitely going in my list.

Well, Y400 is none of the above

But it is a very capable entry level gaming laptop.
