Toshiba Satellite U840-1009X 14" Ultrabook Silver

this model not bad for light / study ...below 2k

Because current Toshiba notebooks are very bad?
See liao also sad the build quality and keyboard

At that price point, I normally suggest forumers to go for Asus K46CM (better spec with same i3 but GT635M), or Dell Inspiron 14z (same spec but better warranty service ).
Unless someone specifically ask for Toshiba
Sifu, the keyboard on U840 is killing my fingers (don't do unto others .... )

Just an alternative if ppl do not like dell* design or asus warranty lol :-)

hi guys...i'm looking for ultrabook, any model is bang for buck ?

1. Preferred Brand : any which not much complaint.
2. Budget: below 2.8k
3. Usage: documentation, presentation, hd movies, abit of games.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: i5 or better, 14", battery life more than 6hours.

and had do a few survey, HP ENVY 4-1204TX Ultrabook, lenovo S and U series only. others brand not sure yet.

preferred if got better gc instead of intel.

thanks.

but somehow, the XPS 12 super magnet is attracting me.

this

Dell New Inspiron 14R, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT730M + (1366x768;touch)@RM2099[2.33kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), Linux; W8@RM2399
Lenovo Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty; colors: chocolate

the best is the Lenovo Z400 but i dont think the battery performance can go up to 6 hours due to its consumer line processor. if you prefer battery life, you can look at the Dell.

hi bro, thx, had checked on the z400, its really good. dell is out if compare with lenovo. But might be great if u have few more options to compare with z400. thx alot...

actually there is one more but i dont list it, because you say you dont want a laptop with much complains. this is it :

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

bear in mind that this laptop build quality is good but ASUS warranty service is bad in malaysia. so if you plan to get ASUS, pray hard for it.

Preferred : 15.6" , i5 or i7 , if can ultrabook

found this laptop (duno isit good anot ) Asus S56CM-XX276H , sumthing like this.

Hi all sifus, Just wanna ask is it a good time to buy hybrid w8 tablets now or should i wait for more to come out ?

Preferred Brand: Samsung/Asus, long battery life
Budget: around 2k
Usage: web surfing, watch HD Movies, light office usage
Preferred laptop/screen size: 10"-11"

Any sifu, can help me about Lenovo Y500?

Why the seller telling me that this laptop has 2 graphic card which is intel4000 and nvidia 650? I read from the website said that this model is dual graphic sli which supposed to have to nvidia 650 work together.. and he tell me the warranty is only 1 year unlike website stated 2 years? Am i being cheated?

hmm....ic.........alrite thx a lot bro

alrite thx bro.....how's the after sale service compare with hp and asus?

My friend looking for a laptop now instead of a desktop.

1. Preferred Brand - Any
2. Budget - Up to RM 2000
3. Usage - Football Manager 2013.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - Prefer something slim/ small. Screen between 11" to 13".

So I was thinking something along the lines of Acer Aspire V5 11.6", but I'm not exactly sure what other models would suit his needs. Yes he just wants one for Football Manager 2013.

between HP and ASUS, HP will be better compared to ASUS.

ASUS is just like BN, spreading good manifesto but fails to deliver the service quality.

It does have Intel HD4000 within the CPU but you can't use it
It should come with 1 internal GT650M and another external, ultrabay GT650M
Warranty should be 2 years

Ultrabooks are not really meant for gaming because of the slim profile
Still, if you insist on getting an ultrabook capable of gaming, then that Asus A56 is a good (and only) pick

Can consider these two:
13"
Asus U38DT-R3033H, A8-4555M + AMD HD7600G@RM2199, 2GB, 500GB, W8

Samsung NP535U3C-A01, A6-4455M + AMD HD7500G@RM1899, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8

Or any other equivalent sized ultrabook/notebooks with Intel HD4000. FM series are not very graphic demanding

Closest would be these
11.6"
Asus
VivoBook S200E, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000 + (1366x768; touch)@RM1799[1.38kg], 4GB, 500GB, W8; colors: Grey/Pink/White, 2-cell, 1 year
VivoBook S200E, B847 + Intel UMA + (1366x768; touch)@RM1499[1.38kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8; colors: Grey/Pink/White, 2-cell, 1 year

Samsung [Ultrabook] ATIV Smart, Z2760 + Intel GMA + (1366x768; touch) + 64GB SSD@RM2499[774g w/o keyboard], 2GB, stylus, W8; color: mystic blue

*The Asus doesn't really offer uber long battery lives because of the small battery capacity
*The cheapest Samsung is RM2.5k
