sifus, please help me! finding laptop for my bro.

My budget, below 2k.

No preferred brand, as long as reliable.

Use for watching movies and play games. Not really hardcore gamer, but if can play some of the latest game is preferable.

currently eyeing for dell 14r, specs:

Processor 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i5-3210M processor (3M Cache, up to 3.1 GHz)
Operating System Windows® 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit (English)
Display 14.0"(35.6cm) HD WLED True-Life (1366x768)
Memory2 4GB 1 DIMM (4GB x1) DDR3 1600Mhz
Hard Drive 500GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
Video Card NVidia GeForce GT 630M DDR3 1GB
Optical Drive 12.7" SATA Tray Load DVD+/-RW



My most important buying factor, can buy through 0% easy installment plan.

processor end up with digit 7 is Ultra-low-voltage processors

(a class of microprocessor that are deliberately underclocked to use less power at the expense of performance. These processors are commonly used in subnotebooks, netbooks, ultraportables and embedded devices; where low power dissipation and long battery life are required.)

The Inspiron 14R SE is better
14"
Dell Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2049[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), W7HP/W8

It has a more powerful GPU, and a faster HDD ~

will look on that. thanks bro!

I need one by July.
So do u think i shall wait maybe other company came out something this price range and better than xps 14? hehe

Thanks for the suggest. I think I will go for the Macbook Pro MD103..^^

lenovo z 480

I thought that Macbook pro MD103 able to handle Crysis 2 quite well? My friend Macbook 2010 had been using about 4 years but still able to play CoD Black Ops in medium setting and battery life is 3++ hours with wifi on.

Thanks anyway for the suggestion! I think I will go for macbook pro..^^

Yaya, think of buying that Macbook pro too. I am student so able to get education price. Yup, agree that using keynotes presentation will impress the audience well. Thanks for the suggestion.

Can anyone recommend me a laptop needs to replace current Toshiba portege R500 Since it is for business it has to be light. The R500 is 1.06 kg with optical drive. Is it possible to get anything as light as that? This for business user, so travel on plane, that is why need light laptop. If cannot find with optical drive around 1 kg, then no drive but light is ok.
Here are the current specs of what I am looking.

1. Budget: RM 5k max

2. Windows 7/8 OS

3. Work: Office suit, power point presentations, work in the airport. Not playing games.

4. Battery life must be 6hr++

5. Must be SSD. 256 gb or higher.

6. Must be around 1 kg or less.

This is for a government institution purchase. So need quotation and specs. Need to use the laptop asap.

Thanks

congrat

any suggestion on cheap laptop?

1. Preferred Brand: other than Acer
2. Budget: rm1200
3. Usage: surfing internet, typing documents, watching movies, light gaming, must be durable(because so many kids in house, they tend to drop things off table)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" or 15"

latest toshiba portege z930 is roughly around 1.12kg, but all with 128gb ssd only =) ( no dvd rom )

while Portege R930- do have dvdrom but its with 640gb hardisk =)

- anyway, lenovo thinkpad x230 not bad, can consider

nope. not fr now. i heard theres a lot of driver issue with it. hehe. btw, thanks for the link!

Just want to ask, tmr I am going to COD with a seller who sell Macbook pro. I going to buy Macbook Pro 15" MD103 from him. He say that the box was unsealed due to custom inspection and the machine haven power on before. The Macbook pro not yet register for warranty yet.

How could I define whether it is a real set or fake set? As he sell to me quite cheap. He said bsc the box was unsealed n he sell to me RM46**.

Thanks in advance..^^

Are the toshiba's on sale in Malaysia? I only get US sites. Thanks for the Lenovo. Added that to the shortlist. What is the price on that one?

Currently viewing Dell latitude series as well.
