Yes you may still claim warranty in Indonesia, but Lenovo Indonesia may not has all the necessary spare parts and you may have to wait for spare parts if you claim warranty.

Closest I would think would be Z570/575, which were the models replaced by Z580. But I find it strange that you said none of the Zx80 was launched in Indonesia yet, since they has been in Malaysia for > 6 mths (iirc) and they are the 3rd gen i core (ivy bridge) specs for Z series (Zx70 were sandy bridge).

Hi sifus, i would like to ask for recommendation for tablet laptop hybrid.

1. No preferred brand
2. Budget: around 2000, below is better, but if the price is higher and much more worthy, would think about it too
3. Windows 8, word-editing
4. smaller, lighter is better, but not really emphasize, thicker but worthy is okay

thanks :]

Hello, I came here the last time looking for a high end gaming laptop, but this was a few months back;almost half a year already.
I was gonna purchase the Asus G75vw or Msi gt70
But everywhere I search on the net for best gaming laptop its always m17x,even though everyone knows alien ware is overpriced, so here I am back here seeking wisdom from you guys.!
My budget is around 8-10k yes high budget as I've been saving for so long.
Preferred brand: any as long as it's spec is good
Usage: heavy gaming and University work
And no preferred sizes. Also if you guys could tell me what is the best and most expensive laptop atm? Just wondering really, Internet not very helpful. Thanks again!

i want to buy new lptop to replace my old lptop..so i need some sugestion ..

1. Asus or LENOVO
2. 1.8K~ -+
3. work,surfing,editing some picture n play game..not hard game.. just game like COD,PES,NFS..
4. in my mind now..i want aSUs A45VD.. this model ok or not?

tq

G75VW with GTX670M is not considered as top end GT70 with GTX680M is only single card, easily owned by those with 680M SLI or 7970M Crossfire rig.

Best gaming laptop is M17x? Bling, bling maybe. Best bang for buck, definitely not. Most powerful, not even among Alienware, you need to look at M18x.

Most powerful? Those with GTX680M SLI. Most expensive? Who care

For best bang for buck for your saving, look no further:
Illegear: www.illegear.com
Illegear RS-15, i5-3210M + AMD HD7970M + (1920x1080)@RM5299, 8GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU Options: i5-3210M - i7-3940XM][GPU options: GTX680M]
Illegear RS-17, i5-3210M + AMD HD7970M + (1920x1080)@RM5599, 8GB, 500(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU Options: i5-3210M - i7-3940XM][GPU options: GTX680M]
Illegear RX-17

With your budget, you could get RX-17 with 7970M Crossfire Or if you prefer single card RS-17 with GTX680M and max up other specs

Yes...,i hope this model will be available in indonesia soon,but there's some model also available in malaysia but not in saudi arabia.

A45VD is obsolete model And even if you find 1, the GT610M in it is hardly better than Intel HD4000

Consider these:
Asus
A45VS-VX026H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT645M@RM2199[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8
Lenovo
Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm) W8, colors: grey/red/blue

Price is RSP, negotiable.

wah..lenovo z480 like coooll
u have any good seller in this forum that sell this model?

Not many choice for tablet laptop hybrid
With your budget, closest:

Acer
Iconia W700, i3-2365M + Intel HD3000 + 64GB SSD + (1920x1080; touch)@RM2199, 4GB, W8
Dell
Latitude 10, Atom Z2760 + Intel GMA + 64GB SSD + (1366x768; touch)@RM2100, 2GB, W8
Samsung
ATIV Smart, Z2760 + Intel GMA + (1366x768; touch) + 64GB SSD@RM2499[774g w/o keyboard], 2GB, stylus, W8; color: mystic blue

According to TJ sifu , the best tablet laptop hybrid in Malaysia now:
Samsung
ATIV Smart Pro, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1920x1080; touch)@RM3599[884g w/o keyboard], 4GB, stylus, W8; color: black

Wait a few more months and other brands may start launching other models (Lenovo Helix ... )

Well bro, what if I narrow it is to only between these three? Three of it with the best specs available which one? Because these 3 are the easiest to get for me atm. But thanks for your suggestion though! I went to the site before, it's like sager isn't it?

RS-15 is 15". RS-17 & RX-17 are 17".
RS-15 & RS-17 both could be customised to have i7 CPU & GTX680M single GPU, pretty much the max you can go with single GPU configuration. So it is just a matter of preference for screen size and relative portability
RX-17 on the other hand could fit in 2 x 7970M or GTX680M running at AMD Crossfire / Nvidia SLI mode and give you a boost for games that support Crossfire / SLI.

Warranty support from Illegear is good (and you can always complain to Prince J here in LYN if you are not happy ).

Yes, it's like Sager. Illegear is also based on Clevo barebone. But the price is a lot more palatable

Check out the link I gave you earlier. Prince J has posted some nice real life (non-photoshoped) pictures of the models.

With your budget, you could pretty much max out on RAM (2x8G, 16G should be plenty enough, but they do support 4x8G), SSD (256G Crucial M4), HDD (1TB) (RS-17 & RX-17 could fit in 2 SSD/HDD. Install OS / apps / frequently access data on the SSD, leave data / picture / video on the HDD). Get the matte screen with high colour gamut. Get i7-3630QM (should be enough). Good thermal paste. Bluray ODD. Killer wireless. 3 year warranty.
You are pretty much set

You have to at least tell us where you are
If you are around KL, check with "devour" sifu (disclaimer: we are not related, as far as I know).

thank you all for the help. Will think it over and decide today whether to go for Y400 or Y580 (Y500 exceeded my budget ). Problem is those reviews I found on internet are mostly based on unit in other countries with different spec.... anyway, I believe for casual gaming such as dota 2, Y400 should be able to handle it well right?

one last noob question, does plaza low yat seller accept credit cards? or those price quoted are for cash and carry offer only?

thanks a lot guys, your reply really help a lot

cheers

Y400 is more than capable of handling dota2 at max setting
The main difference for you between Y400 & Y580:
Y400 - lower screen resolution (1366x768), more bling, better thermal profile, lighter.
Y580 - higher screen resolution (1920x1080), run warmer, more heavy.

Price we provide you are RSP, negotiable with re-sellers (try to knock a couple of hundred from RSP ).
LYP sellers accept credit card, but normally will put surcharge (~ 2%).

Good luck in your hunting

Compare acer iconia 700, dell latitude 10 and samsung ativ smart, which one is more worthy and better? (since higher price doesnt show that the thing is better xp)

interested in acer iconia w700, but does it come with the docking station and bluetooth keyboard? i saw some have, some don't.

Worthy - this is subjective There are personal preference regarding aesthetic, touch and feel, ... (I personally am a sucker for the Latitude business look )
Better - putting aside all thing subjective, the Iconia out-spec the other 2 in terms of CPU & IGPU (the Samsung has keyboard and stylus).
Iconia has a docking station. Package don't include bluetooth keyboard (you most likely saw some aftermarket product), stylus. But Acer apparently will launch a dock with keyboard in 2013.

Good luck. I understand from some sifus that Lenovo Malaysia is phasing out Zx80 with Zx00 this year, and that's why we are seeing price drop in Z480 / 580 now
Definitely don't think Indonesia / Saudi Arabia could be 2 model gen behind Malaysia

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?
