Boss, what game titles you play, boss?
Sorry boss, 3d screen can only be found in 15"/17" behemoth in Malaysia, no ultrabook has 3d yet, boss.

XPS13, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD@RM3299[1.36kg], 4GB, W8, backlit
Envy SpectreXT 13-2106TU, i7-3517U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD@RM3399[1.39kg], 4GB, W8,backlit keyboard

Both has good build quality.
For business use, between the 2, I will go for XPS13 since Dell Malaysia give better warranty support (next business day on site).

Hey guys and girls!
I'm planning to get a laptop for college and my main purpose is simple usage, internet and gaming as well ( COD , Battlefield)

Something light would be a plus too

So what would you recommend for something below RM2K and RM2.5K

Thanks!

depends what type of business u r in.

and what type of worker r u?

Light and decently powerful, then its the Asus S46 for you
14"
Asus [Ultrabook]S46CM-WX023V, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2399[2kg], 4GB, W7HP

I need expert which is the best tablet pc I can buy


Basic Preference

1. Samsung brand if there other better option other brands acceptable.

2. Budget: RM 3000

3. Usage : Working Office, Mobility, Multi tasking, Drawing, Communication (Android most probably), Integration with windows 7 software which currently I have bundle of it (if possible). Not intended for gamings

4. Physical preference
The Tablet PC I would prefer 10 inch or bigger better, High Resolution screen display if possible, Battery Can last 6 hours or more with heavy use of media or internet connection. Keyboard dock, if there is, I don't mind if a bit heavy since My self always dragging 10 kg or more stuff most of the time. Camera if possible a bit higher than 5 mega pixel.

There are only a few tablet PCs with stylus support in the market, and almost all are over your budget
11.6"
Samsung
[Ultrabook] ATIV Smart, Z2760 + Intel GMA + (1366x768; touch) + 64GB SSD@RM2499[774g w/o keyboard], 2GB, stylus, W8; color: mystic blue
[Ultrabook] ATIV Smart Pro, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1920x1080; touch)@RM3599[884g w/o keyboard], 4GB, stylus, W8; color: black

Sony Vaio 11 Duo, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + (1920x1080; touch) + 128GB SSD@RM3999[1.31kg], 4GB, W8, stylus

The RM2.5k ATIV Pro is pretty weak if you are really serious about your drawing and designing needs, and some more it only runs on 1366x768 resolution. But you do get longer battery life due to the weaker specs.

Thank you PF T.J.

You Meant. You recommended ATIV Smart? I find it interesting.... I Do agree the battery part, I'm quite confuse with the

Mobile broadband optional.... it can really call through ATIV Smart like any other galaxy note and tabs right? or it does only receiving data.

Sony Vaio 11 DUO and ATIV Smart Pro...... overkilled =_=|l|

Z2760 processor has similar processing speed as Intel celeron or I3 processors?

EDIT: Does ATIV Smart able to replace battery like normal laptops? or or its not removable?

^You can consider the Acer W700

ATIV Smart non-removable battery.
Z2760 is atom CPU

Yeah I consider it...... Thanks Lee!

I forgot to ask the crucial part.... Windows 8 means = RT or PRO?

Windows 8 means the normal Windows 8.
Not RT, not Pro.

ah thanks for clarify it.


Now I got headache between

Galaxy note 10.1 and ATIV Smart haha xD

Galaxy Note is running on Android oh, are you sure it will not bring about incompatibility issues for your usage?

Dear all,

appreciate your help and advice here. Am looking for a laptop, here's my requirement

1. no specific brand preference
2. not more than RM3k
3. Usage: MS office work (MS Word, Excel, etc) - 30%, internet and email (40%), gaming (mostly simple game like dota 2) - 30%
4. 14" and above
5. Extra - would like something with higher resolution than 1366 x 768 and faster hardisk (>5400 rpm) - if can get SSD within budget that would be a bonus

thanks

hahaha thats the last problem I have to think about it..... Microsoft is always been offline apps with heavy multitasking.... Android is more onto cloudbase online or it will be render useless.....


Damn........... Calculating with monthly Internet service... It pains me to say that malaysia really.... have expensive service lol

Other countries even more expensive yo

Well, if you get a normal PC + wacom drawing tablet, it'll surely be cheaper

well it defeat the purpose of Mobility xD

Hello guys, can anyone help me recommend a laptop near this price

1. Preferred Brand - any brand
2. Budget - 2k to 3k
3. Usage - gaming + heavy video editing (ae/premiere pro) and also photoshop/lightroom
4. Preferred laptop/screen size anything around or above 14"

an 8gb ram would be nice. if i upgrade the laptop ram on my own. would it void the warranty? can laptop go for 16gb?

thank you very much
