QUOTE(nil_blaze @ Nov 11 2012, 01:39 PM) Thank you so much for the recommendations. I've narrowed it down to Lenovo Ideapad Z580. One advice, you dont need an i7 for your usage 1. I don't own a credit card so is it really much costly to buy Dell from shops in LowYat? 2. My sister went to LowYat this morning and was offered : Lenovo Ideapad Z580 i5-3210M, Nvidia GT640M (2GB) @ RM2450 8GB SDRAM, 750 GB, W7HP. Is it any different from getting the i5 rather than i7? Is it hard to install ur own OS? (but have to buy it in the w/end. Come normal working day, it goes back to original price) 3. Is there a link that you could recommend me to go that would offer recommendations on desktops? My dad looking for a new one.  Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.  If I were u.. I'd rather Get one with a ready os... Especially so if u're not familiar with installing an os |
