How to compare a notebook that's not even here yet ?

Asus tops in terms of lousiness when it comes to warranty... Toshiba's services are definitely better but the waiting time for repairs should be more or less the same as the other brands that do not offer on-site support.

Current Toshiba units have very shallow keyboard keys and will make users experience aches after prolong usage..
Their keyboards can sink as well... not really good I would say...
I wouldn't choose both models

any other model recommended?

Touchscreen? i5 ULV? RM3k?

Acer
M5-481PTG-53316G52, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT640M + 20GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2999, 10-point touch, W8

HP
Envy TouchSmart Ultrabook 4-1239TU, i5-3337U + Intel HD4000 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm) + (1366x768; touch)@RM2799[Beats][1.75kg], 4GB, W8

Lenovo

1. Preferred Brand : Not Acer
2. Budget : Below 2k
3. Usage: idk. for my sis who's studying
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: screen size 11" to 12" or maybe along with 13"

thanks

I'm concerned about the weight and thickness too, samsung's seems good, but can't notice much people using it

Please go out and look at the real things. These are ultrabook you know (what thickness? )

weight!! anything above 1.8kg is alot for me...

so i'm hooked on the Lenovo Z500
can recommend me any good seller?

Normally I'll look around for one myself but since I'm not in Malaysia anymore and my sense of pricing is skewed, I'm asking for help on behalf of my friend.

1. Acer, Asus, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung, Sony
2. Strictly under RM2k.
3. University student standard (assignments, research, light gaming)
4. 14"

"idk" - you don't know what your sis is going to use it for? Could you ask her?
Small screen size - may not be suitable for school work. Ask her to confirm again

But in aspect for gaming, lenovo win isnt? I prefer more to the fps performance instead of processer... Isn't asus N56VZ better than lenovo Y400...? I heard asus nowadays have bad service.

Hi i need some recommendation on a powerful cooling fan im using lenovo Y500 btw. I dont have budget any price will do as long as it is good!

yes it is better in terms of cooling. about ASUS after sales service, yes it is bad. however, at notebookcheck reviews, the GT730M is about on par with the GT650M.

here

hi, I need recommendation for a laptop for work and light gaming

1) brand: can be any
2) budget: ~RM 3000
3) screensize: more than 12"
4) must be very portable
5) sleek professional design ^.^

she want small one cuz easy to bring to class. long battery life is important too

The thing with 11-13" laptop models is that they are either cheap with lousy spec or expensive, hardly any middle ground like RM2k

Anyway, your sis don't need powerful CPU or GPU.
Don't go for NetBook with Intel Atom or AMD E series CPU though (despite the very good battery performance), these could be slightly under-powered dealing with big Excel files or fancy PowerPoint slides.
