1. Preferred Brand : Any brand

2. Budget: RM3k and below

3. Usage : General usage, gaming, some engineering software, entertainment (I'm flying off for my masters and I obviously need a decent laptop).

4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15.6" preferably. I don't mind the extra weight.

*currently have my eyes set on Asus N56V, i like the classy design and the specs are not that bad. Any other recommendations?

Dear all sifu,

Kindly suggest to me notebook/netbook which fulfills these preferences:

Preferred brand : anything, kinda interested in ASUS but open to suggestions
Budget : lesser than rm2000
Screen size : the smaller the better (as long as can play minecraft)
Preferably with dedicated gc, processor i3/5/7 (if possible)

Usage : typing, wordprocessing, powerpoint, browsing, skyping. Occasional movies. Not really into high-performance games. Just as long as can play minecraft smoothly =p

Os : windows 8, preferably. If not, i'll go for linux

Feel free to ask for any additional info. Thank you in advance for your recommendations.

1. Preferred Brand: Asus/lenovo, or any other brand if the price and spec are better
2. Budget: below RM2500, or which ever suitable
3. Usage: some gaming, mostly play emulator like gamecube dreamcast and ps2 - important
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14-16"

conclusion, need budget laptop to play emulator with high setting
if can, play with cool temperature.
My last laptop always shut down bcoz overheat.

lenovo
Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm) W8, colors: grey/red/blue

in this case recommend get Asus because it is ultrabook, the graphic card is a bit lousier than z480 but sure can stay longer than it

for 15.6"

Hi all the sifus... need laptop recommendations here.

1. Preferred Brand : HP, but any brand also ok (preferably wont too fast rosak)
2. Budget : Up to rm2800
3. Usage : Basic websurfing, medium gaming, watching movies
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14 or 15.6 inch also can

Note: I'm now currently looking at:
1 - Pavilion G4-2205/2206/2207TX, i5-3210M + AMD HD7670M [2.19kg], 2GB ,500GB(5400rpm), W8, colors: white/red/black
or
2 - A45VS-VX028H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2899[2.4kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8
or
3 - A45VS-VX026H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT645M@RM2199[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8

Which brand is more durable and trust worthy? (i'm studying in indonesia, so preferably got international warrantee). And is it worth it to get an i7 core if i dont do too much heavy gaming?

Thank you =)

ultrabook is your est choice since medium gaming

get Asus S46CM-WX023V, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2399[2kg], 4GB, W7HP

else Dell Inspiron 14z, i7-3517U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB SSD + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2749[1.87kg], 8GB, W8 *no VGA port, OD

1. Preferred Brand: Dell has the best customer support but spec to price is main factor

3. Usage: Work on the go. Mobility is a must.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: ~14"

I'm looking for something that can have the hard drive swapped out for an SSD. I afraid buy already then the HDD so hard to change .__. Or even better one with an ssd.
I know an ultrabook at this price is wishful thinking but are there any?

only 1 choice since you want dell
which is Dell Inspiron 14z, i5-3317U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB SSD + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2449[1.87kg], 4GB, W8 *no VGA port, OD
