hello all sifu

i'm looking for the best laptop i can get for under 2k

main use for work but also good if the unit can take a bit of gaming on the side, e.g. running top games on minimum specs

preferably 15 inch and above, don't mind heavy weight, not so concerned about super long batt life either

to round up:

budget: 2k
brand: any
usage: word, powerpoint, heavy multitasking, gaming (e.g. new fps's on min spec)
screen size: 15in 1920x1080

any recommendations?

p.s. i have received an offer for an asus k52j for 1.5k but it cant be bumped up to 1920 res and that irritates me a bit :S

15" laptop with the most raw power around your budget:

i'd actually put 1920 1080 over performance in some aspects, but 2k really is my limit sad.gif

May I know why are you so keen on the A52J? biggrin.gif
I remember the specs is something like: 1st gen i5, Nvidia 310M, no USB 3.0, ...
By now, manufacture warranty expired, battery is about to die, ....

The models that was suggested to you has much better spec, spanking new with warranty, outperform A52J at least 30% in most games, ...

You make the call  icon_rolleyes.gif
