ThinkPads are never cheap over here.. perhaps its better to buy from overseas hmm.gif
Still, considering the awesome quality and ergonomics of the ThinkPad notebooks, I'd gladly pay for one tongue.gif

dont forget you can upgrade onsite services up to 3 year in Malaysia if you buy here.

And also warranty cover , from what i ask from Lenovo services center, if some model not available in Malaysia, they can not fix for you as spare part not available , they will ask you go back to origin country to seek for help

Actually its the same for Dell's international warranty coverage as well...
It is not covered if that particular model is not available in the country you go to...
But still okay la since most of Dell's lineups are somewhat universal laugh.gif

HD8730M is a new GPU based on the GCN architecture. We're probably looking at performance similar if not better than the older HD7690M XT.

Everyone please if you know where can I find Asus zenbook touch screen in Malaysia.I was looking for it around 3months but nobody knows.Asus showed this model in their events as a display model,but I couldn't find it anywhere. So please if anyone have any news on this specific model just let me know. They sell the core i5 model on bestbuy in USA.but they don't have any shipping method outside the country.I just heard that they also sell this in Singapore but I couldn't find any online dealers from Singapore.

Right,but Acer aspire s7 have its own weaknesses such as very bad battery life(3to4 hours and zenbook 6 to 7),cheap plastic cover in compare of Full aluminum unibody cover of zenbook.(when you pay more than 4k you want to feel premium design and class.)
Unfortunately I don't know how long I have to wait for this beast.sad.gif

Intel produces integrated GPU; whereas AMD and Nvidia produces dedicated GPU (which performs better in most case).
However, there are a wide range of GPU models for AMD and Nvidia, where each one perform differently.
Which one to choose depends on your requirements, and of course, your budget brows.gif

Suggest to delete Y480 from the price list as its officially EOL-ed and pull out from Lenovo official site. It may mislead potential buyers get the remaining imported set in the market. sweat.gif
http://shopap.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/contr...8CC966BC85BD69C

Fyi, only limited stock of local set Y580/W8@2999 available in market. It seems going to EOL and replace by Y500 soon. laugh.gif

http://www.facebook.com/LenovoMY

Quoted from Lenovo brochure:
"The new slim fit
25% slimmer and more powerful.
Thin and light, yet packed with powerful features. The Ideapad Z-series just made ultra-performance ultra-portable. Now with Windows 8. Designed for touch,, mouse and keyboard, so you can choose how you get around."

Z500 touch, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT645M + (1366x768; touch)@RM2249, 4GB, 1TB, W8; backlit, 2 years warranty

Battery life up to 6 hrs according to their website. hmm.gif

Mr. Devour,

By adding 'SDRAM' , 'HDD' or adding 'gc' in to your price list STILL DOES NOT SHOW THAT YOU INVENTED OR OWNED THE PRICE LIST FORMAT..

Shame on you, who doesn't even apology for 'COPYCAT' my price list..


Sorry guys, sidetrack here, JUST COULDN'T RESIST TO CONDEMN ON SUCH A REPUTABLE SELLER HERE IN LYN.

See my rationale behind .. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=58289991

This will be my last post 'tracking' on you Mr. Devour, be more ethical and you will be a even more successful seller here in LYN.

Can I get some feedback on the following notebooks to help me decide which one I should get?


Asus S56CM-XX276H – 15.6” / i7-3517U / 2 * 4GB D3 / 1TB + 24G SSD / GT 635 2G / W8 : RM2700

vs

Acer Aspire V3-571G-736b8G1T – 15.6” / i7-3630 / 8GB / 1TB / GT640 2GB / W8 : RM2570


Mainly for office use, some light Photoshop and gaming. The Acer seems to be pretty good value for money, but I've had some bad experiences with Acer laptops in the past. And the Asus looks like it's a better design; don't know about the weight comparison between the two.

Any comments appreciated biggrin.gif

I think Y500@3399 is the reseller own customization option on the official set Y500@3799. hmm.gif
No other reseller nor local Lenovo have this variant sweat.gif . Suggest to remove it to avoid misleading. laugh.gif

I bought the Acer V5-551G with the 1366x768 and may choose to upgrade to the V3-571G with Full HD display. This 1366x768 on a 15.6 is quite blurry.

Your recommendations? What about the Asus touchscreens? Forgot the model now...

I think the place where I am buying it from is slightly more expensive but service good. Can replace or upgrade no questions asked. The prices they just simply quote. From one salesman to another can be different RM700! Some more reputable shop - I am talking about the V3-571G.

Hey guys,

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but do you suppose that the Lenovo Y580 is still available in Lowyat from a decent retailer?

I dropped by there for a quick look last week and some guy tried to sell me an outdated, non-FHD model for RM3250, saying that since the stock is limited, prices have gone up. Bullshit, really.

Its pretty hard for us to say to be honest... your best bet is to ask from shop to shop... but before you do that, perhaps you can browse through Garage Sales and see whether anyone is still selling them icon_rolleyes.gif

For that price, might as well get Y500 laugh.gif

I still see units with this specs around, going for RM32xx. (check with him http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1899264. Disclaimer: I am not related to the re-seller, and this is not an endorsement of his services)

N56VZ-S3151H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 750GB, W8; color: black


If I were to go all out and go for a 15 inch laptops, I have Asus N56 in my mind.
However after checking the price and specs it seems that S56 has a better spec isn't it?
S56 has a better processor and it has SSD which the N56 lacks.
Is there a bay for SSD in the N56?

One thing that I do know that N56 has over the S56 is the backlit keyboard but I don't think that is necessary.
It's not like I don't have lights at home biggrin.gif
It is beautiful but it is only needed in the dark I think.

I don't really need an ultrabook nor a touchscreen.
Just need a big estate screen because I sit long hours behind the laptop and my eye sight is pretty poor.
I don't need something super fast as I don't play games.
Just need to browse the web a lot, upload HD photos, watch movies/shows, Excel & Word.
That's about it.

Thanks

Review on the new Dell XPS 13 with FullHD is out: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Update...ok.89375.0.html

Not bad at all, a pretty good and portable machine for photo editors out there (although it doesn't have an SD card slot, need to use external ones tongue.gif) nod.gif

Some other alternatives include the HP Envy Spectre 13/14 and Dell XPS 15 cheers.gif

This one: http://www.lelong.com.my/hp-pavilion-g4-21...2-11-Sale-P.htm is 14'' and with 4gb ram. Might want to upgrade that to 8 if you do programming and video stuff. But this one is cheaper compared to the other three links I gave

Are the graphics card performance really different? O:
I'm still looking at G480 since I can get it without windows. And I prefer windows 7. Got win7 proffessional ready to install. Just have to wait till next month to buy laptop! biggrin.gif
Or is it possible to get Z480 with FreeDos?

Yes, the gaming performance are significant different. The crippled gt635m with 96sp have similar performance like gt630m found in Asus S46cm/S56cm/K46cm/S550cm and Lenovo G480. sweat.gif
I think most of the laptop are spec with crippled gt635m nowaday. The real gt635m with 144sp is hardly seen. hmm.gif

Personal Recommendations of the month: Lenovo Ideapad Z400/Z500

Just got back from Digital Mall... I'd noticed that for those who are looking for a RM2-2.5k non-ultrabook, yet not-too-thick (and ugly) notebook will have a hard time finding a pick since the current lineups of normal notebooks are really pretty bad laugh.gif

However, after walking for some time, I'd noticed that the best pick for the time being would be the new Lenovo Z400 and Z500 nod.gif
Relatively thin yet powerful and cheap, its one of the best bargain for the time being thumbup.gif The biggest drawback I think is the short battery life , still a good trade off I would say for what you get in return icon_rolleyes.gif

I see. Which model and what spec that he bought? Was it a good price? The thing I like about the model is its keyboard and battery. The design is conservative (to say the least) but wouldn't put so much weight on design as long as it is a good in overall.

Yeah, I have seen the one that come with Sandy. Wonder why Lenovo Malaysia choose Sandy instead of Ivy for the ThinkPad line 11.6" notebook. If it is Ivy, I might have bought one provided the package is right,

But I guess its just a matter of time before they put an Ivy or Haswell into one laugh.gif
And its also a shame that Lenovo Malaysia didn't brought in the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 that time... it was one of the most powerful 13" notebook yo sad.gif

Yeah it is too bad.

In my case, I am looking for a 11.6" and 15.6" notebook. For 11.6", I have read quite a few model but modes of them has issues with heat (the CPU got throttled during stress test). As for 15.6, I might just settle with Dell 15R or 15R SE, but I am still considering other model/brand too.

It is very hard to find a well-speced 11.6" which doesn't get hot I'm afraid, its impossible laugh.gif
As for a 15.6" notebook, if you don't mind the shorter battery life, the Z500 is a great choice icon_rolleyes.gif

11.6", Ivy Bridge ULV, business class laptop?
Have a look at this:
HP
EliteBook 2170p, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000@RM2899, W7P, backlit keyboard

Not easy to find, but it is out there tongue.gif

I think Lenovo Malaysia does not bring the best Thikpad spec to Malaysia for this generation. W series is not there (W series has better screen and has Quadro / FirePro GPU), T series only has T43x no T53x (T53x has some interesting spec combo).
My old office ask for all T430 to come with 128G SSD also don't entertain (they were talking about hundreds of units ... my Latitude E6430 can configure to SSD on the other hand hmm.gif )

Agree. Out of those hot-running small notebook, I heard that E130/E135 Is among the lesser hot. Any comment on that?
Battery life for 15.6" is never an issue with me as it will be used as my main home notebook, which will stay at home. biggrin.gif
But still wonder about quality of Lenovo warranty support. Need input on this.

How much do guys think the appropriate price to sell my 5 month used Satellite L850-1007XW. No problem but I'm more comfortable with Dell, Asus, or Acer.

If yours is covered by 3 years warranty, then perhaps you can sell at around RM1.6-1.7k hmm.gif
Otherwise, the price will be even lower nod.gif

Yup, 3 years covered. Just normal usage scratch. Thinking of RM 1.7k. Minus scratch etc, RM 1650.

I think what TJ mean could be this:
Most types of warranty are "limited" laugh.gif (by terms and conditions, disclaimer). The closest you come to "unlimited" is those "Complete Coverage" offered by Dell etc.

For Local Limited Warranty, normal Toshiba laptop get 1 year. The L850 get 3 years. But pack for Toshiba local limited warranty extension for 2 years by Tele-dynamic, iinm, is only selling for ~ RM150-- smile.gif

Haven't really read the specifics, but the word "limited" published in Toshiba brochures are very suspicious and sounds too good to be true laugh.gif

before this the warranty has always been called local warranty only..
There might be specific T&C that make Toshiba so eager to give out these 3 years local "limited" warranties hmm.gif

I may be wrong though haha laugh.gif

Hi bro.

Since you know more about Lenovo than some others. Perhaps you could comment on what I have been wondered for some time. Why Lenovo keep on using Sandy instead of Ivy for model like ThinkPad Edge E130.

Aiyo, I don't work for Lenovo lah, so really don't know why they do certain things laugh.gif
Anyway:
1. Thinkpad E series supposed to be the entry level Thinkpad (lots of Thinkpad goodness in T/W series is not in E series, like internal roll cage .... ) So I can understand Lenovo don't want to put the latest or the best spec in E series.
2. Actual E130 has a spec that come with i3-3217U or i5-3337U (you can find it in Oz or UK) laugh.gif Just that Lenovo Malaysia don't introduce it in Malaysia tongue.gif

Sorry for not putting the right wording in my question. I do know it actually have Ivy but my question in more related towards why Lenovo Malaysia decided to take Sandy instead.

Personally, in the absence of E130, I might have consider the X series but being Malaysian, We don't have option for 11.6" X series (the size that I am looking for) and our 12.5" X series do not come with ULV processor thus running very, very hot and far from energy efficient.

I am also considering to get myself another notebook of 15.6" size and would prefer to have both 11.6" and 15.6" of the same brand if possible. Dell have some good 15.6" in a form of Inspiron 15R but their small screen model do not run as cool as Lenovo 11.6". Seems like they are more focus towards slim design then cool running small notebook. In term of Warranty service, Dell is undoubtedly the best as far as my personal experience is concern.

P/S: No worries bro. I know you nor working for Lenovo but I also know you have a lot of experience with Lenovo. thumbup.gif

For Lenovo Malaysia, Thinkpad is really aiming more towards corp client.
For big corp, most of them go for T series.
Edge series supposed to aim at the small businesses. But small businesses in Malaysia end up preferring even cheaper consumer line laptops laugh.gif
That's what I think. Lenovo Malaysia want to push the cheapest Edge, and i3 sandy is ~ RM100 cheaper than i3 ULV.
But Edge series really is not selling in Malaysia laugh.gif

I won't say Lenovo Malaysia concentrating on T series smile.gif
It is just that the best selling Thinkpad in Malaysia is the T series laugh.gif Then the X series for those road warriors (you can confirm with those people in Lenovo Malaysia if you has a chance biggrin.gif Also can check with those people in IBM SC biggrin.gif )
So we have a strange phenomena where the more expensive models sell (a lot) more units than the cheaper models smile.gif

Touch screen is just a marketing gimmick though laugh.gif
And you don't need an i7 for gaming, i5 is more than enough since gaming performance depends more on the graphic card. And the VRAM (1GB or 2GB) doesn't matter for performance...

I would suggest you getting the i5 (RM2099) version, use the remaining money to throw in an SSD brows.gif
The overall speed of your notebook will be much faster than you simply getting the i7 variant brows.gif

they are good enough. since you are into light gaming, you dont need a powerful GPU, so save the rest of the money and throw in a SSD. plus, this massive 17" screen is capable of watching HD movies. biggrin.gif

the use of i7 is for professional projects usage like AutoCAD, programming code compilation which needs the power of processors. like sifu TJ said, if you intend to game only, i5 is enough. and the rest let your graphics card to do the job. most of the games now are depending on graphics card, not the processor.

about HDD exchange, max is 128GB. no pricelist provided unless you ask it directly at shops or at the garage sales section.

The largest is 128GB? Meaning that 1TB HDD = 128GB SSD?
Or I should put in both? (Can I?)

The largest is 128GB? Meaning that 1TB HDD = 128GB SSD?
Or I should put in both? (Can I?)
*
the price of 1TB HDD equals to 120GB Intel 330 SSD. the Z400 is a single hard drive bay, so its impossible to place 2. unless you want to get a desktop replacement, which is 17" screen and above. sweat.gif

however, save the money bro. SSD upgrade can be done in the future, not now. the price for SSD is yet still skyrocketed.

But our sifuTJ suggested to get a SSD instead of i7..
Okay, I will just get the original z400 with these spec:

Z400T, i7-3632QM + Nvidia GT740M + (1366x768, touch)@RM2799, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty

I prefer touch because it won't be old-fashioned so soon tongue.gif
I'm gonna use this laptop for the following few years!

yes, he did suggested get SSD instead of i7 because if compared to SSD, i7 only boost loading performance around 15%, which you cant feel the improvement.

but since you dont want to be old-fashioned, we cant force you to buy the laptop we recommended.

I would love to have that model if they can exclude the Nvidia Dedicated GPU (as I really don't need extra heat) and W8 (awful GUI). Any idea if that configuration available?

Thanks for the reply.

i7-3632QM (35W Quad-Core) is good for me as far as the quad-core power efficiency is concern. Pentium 2020 seems a bit too low in term of power efficiency for its kind performance.

Any other model that you know that come with i7-3632QM but without Dedicated GPU.

im afraid no, as they do come with dedicated graphics card. even most of the ULV i7 in 14" laptops do also have graphics card.

I guess it is too bad for me. I am doing CPU intensive task only thus I really, really don't need the extra heat on top of the CPU that already running at 100% utilization. Any further unnecessary increase (from the dedicated GPU) in heat is going to really working against the reliability if my notebook.

I saw some models at our garage sales that fit the bill but sadly to say they are all grey import model. Wonder if our country (any brand) have that kind of model too.

you shouldnt worry. if you dont want excessive battery drained due to graphics card, you can select models with nvidia optimus graphics switching technology. if you are not gaming, the chip will be automatically switch to intel HD graphics mode. under heavy tasks like gaming, the chip will detect the task and automatically switch it to dedicated graphics mode.

select weaker graphics card to avoid money wastage.

I see. How much the Dedicated GPU will consume while in idle/standby mode where Integrated GPU is the one running the show? Can we actually turn off the Dedicated GPU permanently so it wont use even a milliwatt?

idle mode consumes maybe around 20W if unused (depends on card). im not sure if intel can disable nvidia dedicated graphics but nvidia can disable the intel integrated graphics.

Thanks for the info bro. 20W is a big no, no for me. It even worst than ULV TDP (17W) and more than half of what the i7-3632QM (35W) TDP.... But I still wonder why with the grey import model we can easily find model with Quad-Core i7 (35W) without Dedicated GPU but not with the official Malaysian version. shakehead.gif

like you said, grey import, means its imported from other countries which may have various specs that are not in our country. they are just like automobiles, example honda legend in malaysia, which is a rare car. laugh.gif

Thanks for the reply.

I just wonder the logic for them to do that. Over there they have option for model with Dedicated GPU or integrated GPU only, even for a high end processor. Over here, model high end processor stuck with Dedicated GPU always. If it can be completely turned off then I am willing (coz no choice) to pay for the Dedicated GPU even if I am not going to use it. But the thing is, those Dedicated GPU can't be completely turned off.

And users generally don't game on Elitebook.
I seriously don't think the Z400/500 for gaming is a good idea at all sweat.gif

yeah. i have to remove the touch sensitive panel and keyboard also to get access to the cooler. well, i do game on my elitebook but not heavy games. only light games like simcity 4 and games from the past.

and yeah. gaming on Z series is not a good idea. chance to accumulate dust is more than Y series do.

the I5-3210M originally clocked at 2.5GHz. only turbo boost overclock the processor to 3.1GHz sweat.gif

modern games now depended on graphics card (which the G780 has a GT630M graphics card in it), not the processor except if you use intergrated graphics. so the boost function is not needed. and yeah, games nowadays are in the size of 1GB and above. so far, the largest size i ever heard is 20GB for single game without expansion packs/DLC.

i dont think that works. they are not as strong as compressed air.

Yup, I've seen that feature in the "Energy Management" of the Z480 as well hmm.gif
When I tried it, it seems to:
Fan spin very fast for a while. Then slow down to normal. Then spin very fast for a while, then slow down ...
Maybe the display set was squeaky clean, but I don't see any dust get blow out through the exhaust vent laugh.gif

I am very skeptical of this anyway tongue.gif Looking at my table fan and ceiling fan, I don't see spinning at max speed actually loosen any dust off the blades.

I was thinking, the dust filter (especially those with ioniser) that we normally find in aircon? Those are quite effective (even though a small amount of dust can still be found in the coil fin). I wonder why no laptop brands implement similar filter at the inlet vent? hmm.gif

when the filter is clogged with dust, the cooling air will no longer distribute to the heat sink thus generates more heat.

EDIT : like what sifu lee_what2004 and kingkingyyk said, maybe will reduce the air intake.

Yup, I've seen those "black plastic with small hole" thing on laptop tongue.gif
They are not effective (did not see it trap much dust, compared to those we find in aircon), I think because it does not has "static".
Static will trap dust.
Airflow generate static on the aircon filter. When air stop flowing (power down aircon), static dissipate. (that's why I think the static will not harm the laptop hmm.gif )

Those filter in the aircon can be easily removed, washed, dried, and put back. Shouldn't be difficult to implement similar on the laptop shell : hmm.gif

I will glady sacrifice a bit on air intake if the air sucked in are cleansed laugh.gif
With CPU going the low voltage route may be the amount of air intake will become less of an issue.
Those ultrabook really is dust bunny and hard to clean (I was looking at the MBA of my cousin, which is ~ 1 year old. Have told her to keep cleaning the inlet vent ... but I think now really need to take it apart to clean inside doh.gif )

most of the time i will take compressed air and spray around the vents to save time. but really, MBA fan disassembly is easier among other ultrabooks. just remove the back cover, battery and SSD, you can access to the fan.

Ok, found something buggy.
Once you altered the 3D (AA, AF, blah) settings in NVIDIA Control Panel, Optimus will become bugged.
NVIDIA GPU no longer can be accessed until next restart.

not advised to buy i7 with touch unless you want the power of quad core i7 for programming stuffs. and the touch feature in laptops are just a marketing gimmick. so it is better to stick with core i5 if you work on normal stuffs.

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  rolleyes.gif

Hello guys,

I recheck the info given by lenovo last week and found i made some mistake.

here's the correction (Color of red is the corrected area):

Y500 SLI model + DVDRW (New SKU)
I7 3630QM, 8G DDR3 1600MHZ, GT750M (built in), 1TB HDD, 15.6" FHD, 120W+170W, GN37 SLI ADAPTER, ULTRABAY DVDRW SRP: RM3899

Y500 Basic Varient(New SKU)
I7 3630QM, 8G DDR3 1600MHZ, GT750M (built in), 1TB HDD, 15.6" FHD, 120W ULTRABAY DVDRW SRP: RM2999

The Y500 with RM3799 price tagging is the previous model which i have found i have been mistaken.
Now all above given infos are triple checked and confirm Valid by official

Sorry guys for the wrong info given earlier

what about y580? smile.gif apparently i saw some reviews on the y400 and y500, many ppl recommended y580 instead because of the GTX 660M thing. what does that have to do with it? yawn.gif many have said that its more worth it to buy due to that gtx 660M which will be good for games in the future, probably 1 year from now?

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.

I doubt I can get pricings for the new model though... sellers sure will be pissed off with me just bugging them for prices and not buying sad.gif
It appears even viper88 can only offer consumer line Dell notebooks only (as long as the notebook is in the consumer page- which includes the new Vostro 5640) as well.. very hard to get price quotes for the new business units sad.gif

will definitely try to abuse the hinge when I get my hands on a display unit laugh.gif
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 hmm.gif

Looking forward to your review man laugh.gif
I hope Acer put the fancy screen in the 15" variant out of confidence rather than negligence haha.... they have a pretty bad record when it comes to wobbly screen hinges sweat.gif

Ehhh the funny thing is the placement of the touchpad. How to use it when the touchpad is above the keyboard laugh.gif Or are they expecting us to use mouse more often?

I'll keep an open mind on the touchpad for now biggrin.gif
The main advantages of the touchpad placement are these, I think hmm.gif
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 tongue.gif 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 laugh.gif)

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

i tested the acer R7 at PC Expo. just can say wow after saw that laptop. most of the time when playing with it, i used the touch interface only. touch pad is good and responsive. typing feel on the white backlit keyboard is ok only, cuz they dont give a very tactile feedback as scissor switches do, due to chiclet style keyboards. the laptop itself is quite heavy as a hybrid and it is not suitable for on-the-transit usage if you are a tablet user. viewing angles are great and colours arent washed out if viewed from top to down. thanks to the full HD IPS screen technology used by Acer, just hope the glare can be reduced a bit by adding an anti-glare film.

last feedback for the R7 is, it is a good budget and massive hybrid ever found.

But I'm a bit sceptical of the hinge.. it looks pretty strained by the monitor hmm.gif

if im not mistaken, haswell processor start with i7-4xxx instead of 3xxx

WoShiAiZai is right, that is the older Ivy Bridge variant of the Envy 15 nod.gif
Not sure whether there will be a new one or not. If there is, it will probably be up in a few month's time nod.gif

As for the new series of Toshiba Satellites, I will go Digital Mall and see whether there are any new brochures or not.. though I doubt it will be here so fast laugh.gif

There is already a new envy 15 and 17 out in the states. Sigh wonder why we get everything so slow here. Anyway, reason why I thought the toshiba is out here already is because I saw they posted it on their malaysian twitter page. But not too sure because there don't seem to be any other mention of it anywhere else!

The Premium Envy line (excluding Envy 4s) is not very popular in Malaysia. And HP Malaysia is not really doing much to promote their notebook lineups as well unfortunately. Worse still there are so many better alternatives out there laugh.gif

Yeah I got to know about the new Toshiba lineups through Toshiba FaceBook Malaysia as well. They are not available yet. Didn't see any in Digital Mall today hmm.gif

The major disappointment for the Yoga 11S is its short rundown time of 3 hours 31 minutes battery rundown time on our standard battery test. This is short of other ultrabooks and tablets in this price range. The low battery life is probably due to the Yoga 11S's smallish 42WHr sealed battery. If battery life is important to you, recent Haswell-powered laptops have shown promise, so you may want to wait for the next rev of the Yoga with 4th-generation Intel Core. However, there is no official word from Lenovo for when or if that will happen.

We are already doing that man (not to mention for FREE brows.gif ), since you are a trusted dealer. But at least give us RRP prices and specs for new models ma lol, otherwise we cannot help you also.
Also, I'm sick of going to collect brochures liao laugh.gif

*U noneed to purposely post updates here in this thread, when you upload new models to your Frixfox page, just put the RRP in there (no problems one right posting the RRP?), I will check from time to time. Easy for you laugh.gif

Actually the G series have always been good. Tried out my friend's G55.. its really a different thing haha... But too bad the HDD Spoilt after a few months and my friend had to suffer Asus Malaysia's wrath sweat.gif
If you feel lucky, the G750 is really great haha, with much more money remaining for SSD if compared to an RS-17. But I've never really liked 17 inchers haha, too massive laugh.gif

Haha, which brings me to a question that I'm not really sure about.
Is it better to buy an upgradable notebook (say RS-15) compared to a non-upgradable one (say RE-15)? But for the RE-15, you upgrade it after a few years (Let's say RM1,000 for one year), whereas the RS-15 you use back the chassis. Although you don't get to upgrade the RE-15's GPU, but after a few years you can just buy an entirely new one with newer tech (and one can still use back the SSD etc. from the earlier unit to cut cost).

Which one is more saving actually? hmm.gif

wacomuse mentioned some time ago that A m14x = 2x Lenovo Y480. But I think its sort of different because of quality differences. Now when comparing RE-15 and RS-15, both are good products, what do you think?

Sorry if the question is very confusing haha, not sure how to ask it also laugh.gif

if for me, i could say RS will save more. if it is well taken care of, the processor and graphics card can last for more than 5 years and the current graphics card are able to play next gen games up to 3 years (IMO). then, when you wanted to upgrade the graphics card again, it just take roughly a cost of RM1500 for a board (depends on the brand you choose) per 3 years.

but what i worry is, MXM connectors may outdated in no time. sad.gif

Thanks for the input notworthy.gif
But the thing is gaming notebooks are often pushed to the limit one laugh.gif dunno the internals can last or not (not that I'm looking down on the cooling of the RS series la haha). And of course, there's the "user problem" that gets tired of using the same notebook for some users haha.. Yalo... and there's the thing about MXM sad.gif
Have to wait and see lo I guess haha, like u said, things might change XD

Hi may I have your opinion.
I'm confused whether to buy MacBook air or other laptop. I'll use it for study. I'm a Windows user but still thinking about portability which I can get from MBA. And I still can use Windows on MBA.

haha, in short, if you want to game on your notebooks, then definitely avoid MBA since it doesn't have a dedicated graphic card.
Same goes if you are looking for touchscreen, stylus or other features.
If you are using it for normal tasks, the MBA will work just fine nod.gif

With Haswell you need LP DDR3 RAM, it won't boot if you insert normal RAMs sweat.gif . Haven't tested with other brands yet.

sifu, is it applicable for all Haswell, or just those ULT stuff? (can understand ultrabook want to cut down on power usage). Not easy to find LPDDR3 (some blur blur counter person don't even know what it is) hmm.gif (is it even available on retail?)
And man, if all Haswell use LPDDR3, the price for it will shot through the roof doh.gif Even if only ultrabook use it, it will make life difficult for owner who want to upgrade RAM aftermarket.

agree. the pricing nowadays for RAM aint cheap either. RM11x for a 4GB slot, compared to RM9x from last time.

if LPDDR3, perhaps RM13x or something. shakehead.gif
