The oldest computer that I've used before is an x386 with 474MB HDD

Just for casual discussion, at 1.1kg, what are the best ultrabooks in specs/design/etc apart from the Acer S7 11"/13.3"

Hi man
Welcome to Mobile Computing, I love your photos haha~

Some of the lightest 13" notebooks/ultrabooks are by Toshiba~

Yaa ... a few of my old classmates stayed in the same small Taman. Since primary school, we shared PC. One guy would buy a model, and all of us went to the house to use it
Our primary school bought Apple II in 1984, which didn't even have HDD, but all of us decided to get 80286 in 1986 running MSDOS 3 when we started secondary school .... (CPU and OS life cycle was soooooooo long then). My turn to make the purchase was 80486DX2 in 1992, we already started college.
All of us still keep our old machines around I think the most valuable now is the 80286 ....

Thanks bro. Btw, I'm an old timer here too but during the 2008-2010 time

Those Toshiba Ultrabooks looks so yummy but aluminium body like the Acer S7 11"?

Oh I see, haven't joined LYN during your time
The Z930 is made of Magnesium Alloy, not sure whether it better than aluminium body or not, but the rigidity is there
Here's a recent review on the Z930 (specs may differ abit): http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Toshib...ok.87043.0.html

You sound really old man
Time to put your old rig of sentimental value up for display

Looks nice but S7 got FHD and touch screen

Ehhh come to think of it, the Samsung Ativ Pro is damn tempting lol. FHD tablet +Windows8+keyboard+i5 processor+HD4000 graphics!!!

Yup, which was why I added the direct competitor Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro in the recommendation as well
Full HD, touchscreen + stylus support~

11.6"
Samsung [Ultrabook] ATIV Smart Pro, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1920x1080; touch)@RM3599[884g w/o keyboard], 4GB, stylus, W8; color: black

Of course, if you don't mind the heavier weight, the Dell XPS 12 and Sony Vaio 11 are good choices too (FullHD, touchscreen)~

11.6"

12.5"
Dell
[Ultrabook] XPS12, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1920x1080)touch screen@RM3899[1.52kg], 4GB, W8, backlit, spill resistant keyboard, build-in battery, no ODD
[Ultrabook] XPS12, i7-3517U + Intel HD4000 + 256GB SSD + (1920x1080)touch screen@RM4999[1.52kg], 8GB, W8, backlit, spill resistant keyboard, build-in battery, no ODD

These 3 are most often discussed when one is looking for a FullHD, touchscreen convertible device~

The S7 sounds like the fan is too loud?

The battery life is also pretty short it seems: http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptop/ace...7-391-9886.aspx

HELLO ADMIN,

I would like to request some suggestions on laptops since I m getting a new one for study purpose. I m studying in the field of architecture.

1. Preferred Brand
Lenovo, Dell, Asus.

2. Budget
Around 2k to 2.4k (pls try not to exit the budget)

3. Usage
Study, light gaming (fb games) and some games like dota and maple story, watch some movies (nt hd)

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
Abt screen size i recommend 14" inch
One of my friend recommend lenovo z480, I found it is quite convinient but the problem is it comes with windows 7
home basic which is kinda disappointing.
May i ask whats the cost to upgrade win7HB to win7HP???
Besides is there any laptop that has backlit keyboard that fits my budget.


THATS ALL, THX A LOT

14"
Asus A45VS-VX026H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT645M@RM2199[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8

Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2049[2.38kg], 4GB,
500GB(7200rpm), W7HP/W8

Lenovo Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm) W7HB, colors: grey/red/blue

I would recommend the Dell due to the faster HDD and also the better warranty support. It has backlit keyboard as well iinm. Use your remaining money to extend warranty to 3 years (Should be RM249 only)
There you have it, the best bang for you buck~ And you don't have to worry if anything happens to your laptop, since Dell will fix it asap for you, unlike other brands

Hi therr i decided to go for acer brand for gaming purposes. Could i know if i shud go for an acer v3 571g with i73620 8gb ddr 3 nvidia gt640 2gb or an m3 with i53317 20gb ssd nvidia 640 1gb? Wat are your thoughts?

Depends on whether you always bring your notebook with you when you go out or not
If you travel alot, then go for the M3, otherwise, stick to the V3

I thought the new Asus Ultrabook with dual screen should be out already?

Hurmp.

THX A LOT ADMIN.. THAT REALLY HELPS.. =D

[PF] T.J. now is admin

The Taichi?
Haven't heard anything about it yet
