Thanks sifu, I think I'm gonna choose Y500 with sli.

Thank you T.J!
then is Dell inspiron 14r(SE)

1. Preferred Brand: Asus, or any other brand if the price and spec are better
2. Budget: below RM1500, or cheapest, which ever suitable
3. Usage: for basic programming, windows visual studio, oracle and future learning programs (I'm a Software Engineering student), no gaming, maybe some music or videos
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: the smaller the better

and the most important is, if can the processor should be Intel i5

Came across a advertisement in a chinese news paper that Acer S7 i5 specification slash price to rm2,888 .... any 1 can confirm that as google didnt see leh..

This is the cheapest notebook with a normal i5 processor
14"
Lenovo G480, i5-3210M + Intel HD4000@RM1499, 2GB, 500GB (5400rpm), FreeDOS

Do take note that it doesn't come with an OS

1. Preferred Brand: Asus/lenovo, or any other brand if the price and spec are better
2. Budget: below RM2500, or which ever suitable
3. Usage: some gaming, mostly play emulator like gamecube dreamcast and ps2 - important
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14-16"

conclusion, need budget laptop to play emulator with high setting
if can, play with cool temperature.
My last laptop always shut down bcoz overheat.

im looking at 2 models

Hi all the sifus... need laptop recommendations here.

1. Preferred Brand : HP, but any brand also ok (preferably wont too fast rosak)
2. Budget : Up to rm2800
3. Usage : Basic websurfing, medium gaming, watching movies
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14 or 15.6 inch also can

Note: I'm now currently looking at:
1 - Pavilion G4-2205/2206/2207TX, i5-3210M + AMD HD7670M [2.19kg], 2GB ,500GB(5400rpm), W8, colors: white/red/black
or
2 - A45VS-VX028H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2899[2.4kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8

Which brand is more durable and trust worthy? (i'm studying in indonesia, so preferably got international warrantee). And is it worth it to get an i7 core if i dont do too much heavy gaming?

Thank you =)

1. Preferred Brand: anything
2. Budget: Rm2500
3. Usage: Work on the go. Mobility is a must.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: ~14"

I'm looking for something that can have the hard drive swapped out for an SSD. I afraid buy already then the HDD so hard to change .__. Or even better one with an ssd.
I know an ultrabook at this price is wishful thinking but are there any?

Hi all, need recommendation from you all.

1. Preferred Brand: Asus or MSI or maybe you can advise
2. Budget: RM3999
3. Usage: Gaming & Movie
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15inch

Currently I'm looking Asus G55. Or you guys have some recommendation other laptop for me please?

thank you

14" asus
S46CM-WX023V, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2399[2kg], 4GB, W7HP

lenovo
Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm) W8, colors: grey/red/blue

in this case recommend get Asus because it is ultrabook, the graphic card is a bit lousier than z480 but sure can stay longer than it

for 15.6"
Asus
A55VJ-SX093H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT635M@RM2499[2.52kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8; color: black
S56CM-XX090H i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB@RM2499[2.3kg], 2GB, W8; color: black

Lenovo
Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB, white

for this case I vote for either z580 or s56

Add on Asus S56CM-XX090H i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB@RM2499[2.3kg], 2GB, W8; color: black (ultrabook)
the games you play need high graphic ?
if no then z580 bah @@
even for me also hard to choose, but n56 design is better and slimmer
yet got backlit keyboard

ultrabook is your est choice since medium gaming

get Asus S46CM-WX023V, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2399[2kg], 4GB, W7HP

else Dell Inspiron 14z, i7-3517U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB SSD + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2749[1.87kg], 8GB, W8 *no VGA port, OD

only 1 choice since you want dell

the OD I forget what its meaning already, I know can swap something

but its quite heavy
but is good for gaming
else can consider
Lenovo Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3899[JBL], 8GB, 32GB mSATA + 1TB HDD, W7HP, backlit keyboard, 2 years warranty
