When I was at LowYat, one of the sales man said that I should get an i5 at least and some graphic card so that I can use the laptop for many years.

But in my case, I only use it for work (MS Excel and Word) and surfing (reading news and Youtube) and sometimes HD football matches that I missed.

So I basically won't turn into a gamer overnight or next year or anytime in the near future.
1) So I don't really need a high spec laptop right since my tasks doesn't require high specs. I don't mind spending a bit more for an i5 but I seriously don't need a high spec graphic card right since I don't play games at all.

2) A high spec graphic card is a must for video games but does it have any influence in the smoothness in the running of the laptop? According to another sales man, a low spec graphic card will result the laptop in lagging when watching HD movies. Is that true?

Correct me If Im wrong.

Thanks

Integrated graphic cards from almost any processor nowadays can handle HD or FullHD video playback very easily nod.gif
Just avoid netbooks to avoid dissapointments laugh.gif
Like you said, there's no need to spend more in getting a dedicated GPU that you don't use

Thank you again  for the rec  notworthy.gif . I just check out the store and they rec another one. Asus U36SG-RX072V. What do you think about it?? Which one is better?? The U36SG or K46CM??  sweat.gif

Although the U36sg is not too bad a subnotebook, but you don't really need the extra processing power, so I guess its not too worth it?
The U36 is kind of old as well hmm.gif

Asus
X44H-VX262, i3-2370M + Intel HD3000@RM1399, 2GB, 500GB, FreeDOS * 1 year global warranty [B820@RM1099]
X401-WX091R/092R/134R, B820 + Intel HD3000@RM1299, 2GB, 500GB, W7HB; colors: black/white/green
X45U-VX024, AMD E2-1800 + AMD HD6320@RM1299, 2GB, 500GB, FreeDOS

Dear sifu, my friend lost his asus notebook(which uses E-450 with radeon 6320.) he bought it at rm 1,300. He plays facebook games a lot, and stream youtube but he told me sometimes its kinda laggy?

His budget now is around rm 1,500 to rm 2,000. Can sifu recommend me a laptop which has faster and better processor, 4gb ram, 500gb hdd, and have better graphic card than radeon hd 6320. Must have windows 7 installed as well. Preferably can straight buy from digital mall.

Any brand also can, but don't want acer/lenovo.

TQ
