I remember you want FHD, and portable, and light.
Well, Y400 is none of the above

But it is a very capable entry level gaming laptop.

hi new poster here o/

i was thinking of buying my sis a lappy as a gift, stumbled upon a courts mammoth ad 25% discount on these notebooks

1. 14' Acer V3-471G - rm 1537

2. 15.5' Sony Vaio SVE1512 - rm 1724

both with i5 processor

my sis would use the lappy for online shopping, mail stuff and maybe some movie watching.

looking for a reliable one with good customer support as well as good battery performance

need u guys expert help, which one to choose?

thanks in advance

Cos y400 look awesome....the red backlight...how heavy is it?

How bout a laptop for casual use (movie & surfing) along with some casual gaming (able to play dota 2 & HoN). And budget below 2k.

Hi people,

Need help on getting a laptop:
1. Preferred Brand: Non-apple, windows
2. Budget: RM 5k
3. Usage: Business traveler. Lightest laptop, longest battery life and must have optical drive. If there is SSD it will be great
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: between 11"or more. 15.6" or less

Aspire V3-471G-53212G75d, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1899[2.3kg], 2GB, 750GB W8
Vaio SVE15128CV, i5-3210M + AMD HD7650M@RM2599[2.7kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W8; colors: silver/white; Vaio backpack
(The price you get for Sony seems to be based of RM2299? I listed down the cheapest SVE1512 model in Sony Malaysia website. Maybe Courts is carrying some special specs)

Both should be good enough for your sis usage.
Price is pretty good deal
Acer and Sony has OK warranty support in Malaysia.
The Sony is more heavy. Since both only has HD screen, you have the same screen real estate.
If you want good battery performance, you may want to look at models with Intel ULV CPU (i3/5/7-3xxxU).

~ 2.5kg ++
Also, iinm, Nvidia Optimus is not working properly (?), so battery performance suffer.
Check with owners here to confirm:

woahhh so heavy.....is there any other such laptop but with lighter weight ??? i mean in term of raw power and graphic card

EDIT : how is y480??

Currently my dad use Asus Zenbook but he didnt like it much. He's using ipad and iphone so im thinking of buying him macbook air. Is there any other better option?

1. Preferred brand : Toshiba? or Apple. Must be Ultrabook.
2. Budget : below 4k
3. Usage : Just some office usage, presentation etc. and movie, music.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 13' or below.

Not exactly an ultrabook, but is pretty light for the power it offers (normal processor) and comes with optical drive... Doesn't have SSD though
13"

Most ultrabooks do not have optical drive, if you omit that requirement, there will be a lot more options 

@mystvearn, Thinkpad X230, get extended battery if need longer battery life...

In terms of raw power, Asus is your best bet.

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)

Among the two Asus the first one has higher clock speed and better graphic card right ? I saw that the 3317u is a 17w CPU and 3120m is a 35w CPU so would the A45VS consume more power ? If the processor n graphic doesn't make a big diff then I'm going for the K46CM

The i5-3317U is a ultra low voltage processor whereas the i5-3210M is a normal processor.
An ULV processor consumes less power at the expense of CPU performance.
Still, since your usage doesn't really require a lot of processing power, and since you are into gaming, its better to go for one that has a better GPU... unless if portability is extremely important to you
