Hi, can reccomend me kindly as to which laptop (ultrabook/netbook, not sure the diff?) to get?

- any brand can be reccomended as I am unsure which 1 is good.
- budget is around RM1.5k-2.5k
- usage is mostly adobe illustrator, and able to play some graphical games would be nice
-preferred screen size is not less than 13"

thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks for your recommendation, have you had any experience using Asus laptops? as I heard some say not recommended to get?

Also, I think the Dell Inspiron 14R is priced at RM2670, instead of RM2049 mentioned? or could you kindly lead me to the link of the 1 that can sell at RM2049 please? if you don't mind..

thanks in advance!

hey, thx for the reply, glad to hear that Asus is quite nice, as I loved to use their motherboards previously...noted about the after sales service..

thx for the link and inputs also, a step closer to choosing a new laptop

still torn about the ultrabooks tho, since the slim body and light weight makes me drool, easy to carry around..

also, if you don't mind, can enlighten me on why ultrabooks aren't stable? as the specs is quite close to the normal notebooks you reccomended?

again, thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks for your advice from a view page back... I just wented to lowyat plaza today and browse through some notebooks, and I would like to get help from here first before I choose to buy the notebooks..

1 that really attract me is a laptop offer from a "brightstar distributor" in lowyat (not sure of the fact) they offer me a laptop called lenovo Z485, this laptop quite strike me because it has 2 AMD graphic cards (?) AMD Radeon HD 7450M, 500GB, 10GB RAM, AMD A8-4500M (1.90 GHz, 4 MB L2 Cache, up to 2.80 GHz) << they say this is AMD quad core (i am unsure since i am not well versed in computers), it is 14" laptop with windows 8.... and to top it off, they have a bundle package inclusive of a bagpack, wireless microsoft mouse, and a screen protector, also 1 year international warranty....

now i've been trying to find some reviews on the net about this, i couldnt find any, all i got was it was sold in Thailand and it has been discontinued(?)... the price is just below RM2,5k (give me dealer price they say )...

so, any sifus out there can help me verified whether this 1 is worth to get? since the specs sounds quite good for that price tag...

Also, another laptop is the Lenovo Y580, with these specs:
-Inter Core i7-3630QM
-Win 7, 64 bit
-8GB RAM
-500GB SATA HDD
-NVIDIA GeForce GTX660M
at a price tag of RM2,950


sorry for the long post, but can help me? thanks in advance!

woah! thank you for your feedbacks! lucky didnt straight away buy it!

@devour, mind to share me the link to get it at that price with the same specs?

@astria, then, isn't it better to have the integrated and dedicated graphics working together? because the logic in PC that I know is usually dual graphic card makes better graphic quality and render speed instead of 1?

Hi, thx for the link, I'm not quite sure how to read the benchmark thingy but im guessing the higher the bar the better performance of the game in the laptop? If this is the case it looks like Acer's timeline U is pawning almost everything

Oh man! so many options! haha...

for Y480 I wented to lowyat and got this spec and price :
-3rd gen core i7
-Win 7 Home premium 64bit
-8GB RAM
-750GB
-Nvidia GT640, 2GB DDR5 (compare to the original GT650M 2GB, they say the 1 they give is better?)

at a price of RM2,650

good enough deal? or no?

thanks for your input guys! appreciate it, hope to get a new laptop soon!
