Btw, is this the 1st Intel Atom CPU running Android in Malaysia?

Z580 clearing old stock

Z500 lah
It's getting harder to find Z580

Yup, the problem of current Z series Z400/500 is the maintenance
Otherwise, for normal buyers who don't know better, its look is very apealing

for those who are still looking for W7 in brand new laptop, Dell has grouped all its W7 offering in 1 link.

Trip to Bali, hunting season?

Not that bad lah, 3 cells but rated at 50WHr. Review feedback in China seems pretty good. Have 2 internal fans, but only 1 RAM slot. I just wish it come with matte screen instead of glossy

Aiya, conference in Bali also can leads to other opportunities mah
Btw, may want to add MS Surface RT:

Why you want to spend RM2+k on Sandy Bridge i5 and GT635M is another matter

Lenovo
Y500, i7-3630QM + GT750M(GDDR5) + 1920x1080@RM2999, 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, swappable ODD, 120w psu, 2 yrs

Best bang for your buck if you are looking for 15" gaming laptop. Later on when you have more budget, buy an ultrabay GT750M and go SLI

Y580 is old model. Y500 is new model.
Y500 latest spec come with GT750M (latest gen GPU from Nvidia), which is ~ 10% better than GTX660M (Nvidia GPU line-up from last year), according to some benchmark.

Asus catalogue for May/June 13.
TJ, small update I think
I notice new spec for N56. Not sure about the rest

Buddy, this is not a sales thread. Please go to LYN garage sales threads to look for re-sellers

will definitely try to abuse the hinge when I get my hands on a display unit
But so far this is the best hinge design (on paper at least, and if it really can stand the abuse) that I've seen, better than the XPS 12 or the Sony Viao or the Lenovo Twist. And the fact that Acer feel confident to put it with a much heavier 15" screen

I'll keep an open mind on the touchpad for now
The main advantages of the touchpad placement are these, I think
1. palm no longer has to rest on the palm rest area (which usually are a bit warm (personally I just find it uncomfortable).
2. the screen could be moved a lot closer to the user. No longer need to extend the arm across. Really help the utilisation of touch screen.
3. On W8 desktop mode, could push the screen back to "normal" position, and make touchpad available. I will try it out later and see if using the touchpad will make me accidentally press any button on the keyboard But I think sliding the hand up to use the touchpad actually is quite inutitive than cramping the hand down (always found touchpad annoying anyway, I'm a trackpoint user )

Will go look for it and test it out next Friday (this Friday is public holiday, not going into town to work )

Not sure yet. Normally, every Friday after lunch I will stroll around LYP. Let's see if the R7 will pop up in display in a few weeks time

Business class ultrabook from Asus. Unless Asus Malaysia upgrade its warranty support service or farm the warranty support for its "business class" machine to more reliable parties, I will take a pass

TJ,
Touchsmart 14-k029TX price should be RM3299
