QUOTE(FollowMeRogerThat @ Jan 10 2013, 05:42 PM) Hi Sifus, Unfortunately no Any Asus(2 years warranty) laptop that is close to the price/specs of Dell Inspiron 15 (Approximately 1.8k with 3 years warranty)? Dell: Inspiron 15-3521, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1499[2.25kg], Win8SL, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm) http://www.dell.com/my/p/inspiron-15-3521/...nspiron-15-3521 Looking only at 15.6" laptop, mainly used for MS Office for office tasks Asus notebooks usually come with 2 years international warranty. You'll have to pay extra to extend the warranty to 3 years Closest would be: 15.6" Asus A55VJ-SX093H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT635M@RM2499[2.52kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8; color: black A55VD-SX520/521/522H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT610M@RM2149[2.52kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8; colors: white/blue/red A55VD-SX471/472/473, i3-3110M + Nvidia GT610M@RM1599[2.52kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8; colors: black/red/white |

QUOTE(Mr.CoMoT @ Jan 10 2013, 09:51 PM) can it support like 6-7 tabs on firefox.. Sure can haha, it may be a budgeted notebook, but those are pretty simple stuffs and i will add 4gb ram..so 6gb. u think will it hang if i download file maybe around 1gb...when dl finish need to wait.(at the same time browsing..wtching video...mean multitasking.. u think b950 can handle it very well? When I said don't expect too much, it means try not to expect fast rendering/simulation of softwares or more demanding games Still, shouldn't the newer versions of notebooks be powered by B960 already? Yeah, you can add the RAM if you want, would help a bit in multitasking, but 4GB is pretty good already to be honest |

QUOTE(bendonarticx @ Jan 10 2013, 10:24 PM) Oops sorry forget to mention to you. Yea it was from a previous ask for recommendation. Yes I'll be using Photoshop on it. But basic to intermediate editing only. And optical disk drive is optional, cos can get external. Any others? lol The R930 can run Photoshop I don't think there are any other alternatives that fulfill all your requirements... Lightweight notebooks lack power and accessibility vice versa... we can't get the best of everything @nexus, any suggestions? |

QUOTE(kevin94lee @ Jan 11 2013, 09:35 PM) The Y480 is EOL-ed already and no longer that easy to find.... its been said that remaining ones being sold are refurbished or imported sets and are not covered by Lenovo Malaysia in terms of warranty...Better go for the Y400 instead, its only RM100 more expensive, with similar specs (but potentially better because of the ultrabay) and a much better looking design |

Use remaining money to extend warranty to 3 years |

QUOTE(Rapidknight @ Jan 12 2013, 06:15 PM) 1. Brand: Usually people running AutoCad and 3D modelling stuffs would prefer 15" notebooks because of the FullHD screen (larger workspace)...Lenovo, Dell, Asus (Unless you can recommend me another barand that has very reasonable specs) 2. Budget: Not above 3k, the lower the better of course =) 3. Usage: Engineering softwares like AutoCad doing stuff like 3D modelling 4. Preferred laptop/screen size Im not picky about the size but generally I dun like too big coz it's too bulky, 14'' is a reasonable size Please recommend a brand/model that you know to be reliable and durable, my first laptop (Acer Aspire 4740G) snuffed out after 2 years and that seems like a very short time. All i need i a fast pc that can handle engineering softwares, i dun really care about the other fancy stuffs that come bundled with consumer pcs. And theres one thing i dun understand, what is the hardware in pcs that receives the wifi signals? and are all these in every pc same in terms of the ability to receive signals? But if you want a 14", then this one has the best specs (before the Asus G46 comes in, if it comes Lenovo Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799, 4GB, 500GB, W8, 120wPSU, swappable ODD Going down one level would be these: 14" Asus A45VS-VX028H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2899[2.4kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8 Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2799[2.38kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm); backlit keyboard optional Lenovo V480, i7-3632QM + Nvidia GT630M@RM2899, 4GB,750GB(5400rpm), W7P Toshiba Satellite M840-1009XG/XP/XQ, i7-3612QM + AMD HD7670M@RM2799[2kg], 4GB, 750GB, W7HP; colors: Gold/Pink/Blue |

QUOTE(ilovestrawberry @ Jan 13 2013, 12:15 AM) Its the best you can get for under Rm3k The HDD runs a bit slower than your A52j, and runs abit hot.. but easily rectifiable by upgrading to SSD (when you have the budget later on) |

QUOTE(Cranky guy @ Jan 13 2013, 04:53 PM) Hey guys, need a recommendation. Your budget is a bit too low for any serious gaming unfortunately Preferred brand- None, any brand works. Budget- Below 1k, a bit higher is OK. Usage- Gaming and web browsing. Preferred screen size- Not a problem, the smaller the better You need around at least Rm1.5k to get a decent budget gaming machine capable of playing the latest games at around low-mid level graphic settings |
