QUOTE(sss2sssss @ Nov 26 2012, 02:46 AM) College assignment is too wide, give more info like doing which type of assignment(light like powerpoint, heavy like rendering) Thank you for highlighting this. Mostly using Microsoft Office and Photoshop. So I don't need GPU only good RAM and CPU. Any suggestion? 1. Preferred Brand: No preference. 2. Budget: Maximum cap at RM2000 3. Usage: For college assignment (using Microsoft Office & Photoshop) and playing full HD movies. 4. Preferred laptop/screen size: At least 14 inch screen. |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Nov 26 2012, 08:41 AM) Having a dedicated GPU will also help smoothen later versions of Photoshop~ Can you recommend laptop without GPU so that I can get a better processor or SSD. Budget still same at maximum RM2,000.Try to go for these two if possible: 14" Asus A45VS-VX026H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2199[2.4kg], 2GB, 1TB, W8 Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2049[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), W7HP/W8 Otherwise, get these: 14" Dell Inspiron 14R, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1899[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP/W8 Lenovo G480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT635M@RM1899, 4GB, 1TB (5400rpm), W8, 2 yrs warranty *Try to extend warranty to 3 years if possible too~ |

Thanks TJ. 14" Dell Inspiron 14, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT620M@RM1599[2.1kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu Linux 11.10 Lenovo G480, i5-3210M + Intel HD4000@RM1499, 2GB, 500GB (5400rpm), FreeDOS G480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT635M@RM1699, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS 15" Dell Inspiron 15, i5-3210M + Intel HD4000@RM1549[2.4kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu Linux 11.10; W7HB/W8@RM1709 Lenovo Ideapad G580, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1699, 2GB, 500GB, freeDOS, 1 yr warranty But I guess you could only get a 128GB SSD and a Jack Sparrow OS at most with these  Later if I want to purchase, can I choose SSD instead of hardisk? I can't see this option on the Dell website. Don't know about Lenovo.  |
