In terms of graphic card, which is the latest? Nvidia GT650M right?

the latest is the new GT750M in Y400 which is better than the GTX660M. you can see some models at mid valley.

what kind of games you want to run? if those heavy games, this budget is not recommended. at least RM1900.

I know there is no 1.8k ultrabook. My purpose is trying to clarify to XeactorZ that cannot compared with ultrabook with normal laptops, if so do it just like comparing a 5 inch phablet and 7 inch tablet. But why people still buy 5 inch phablet even some 7 inch tablet can make call? because of portability. Same goes to ultrabook.
*
from what i know, XeactorZ isnt comparing. because i can see the fact that he is trying to say Z580 and Z500 have the weight and size of an ultrabook but higher performance than ultrabook.

Others: 8GB RAM + 120GB SSD + either DOS or W7

Currently considering a Samsung NP350V4C-A02 (i5-3210M / 4GB / 500GB) @ RM1899 + Kingston 120GB SSD @ RM320 + extra 4GB @ RM90

Can you recommend any other laptops?  HDD isn't important since I'm planning on swapping it out for an SSD anyway.  Thanks!

Hi guys,

Need ur advice for these two models in comparison:

DELL 7520-61412G-W8 I7-3612QM 4GB 1TB ATI AMD RADEON HD7730M 2GB 15.6" W8 RM2419

LENOVO Z500-5936-7000 i5-3230QM 4GB 1000GB DVDRW NV GT645 2GB 15.6" DVD W8 RM2149

The difference is the processors, graphics, and the price. Just asking, is it worth the RM300 extra?
*
both are on par with actually. sweat.gif

the extra RM300 means you get a quad core i7 processor than a dual core i5.

is her autocad assignments pretty heavy? if yes, that is a better deal. if not, consider this:

since you are just into office and minor entertainment usage, why not consider dell?

Dell Inspiron 15
Lenovo G480, i5-3230M + Intel HD4000@RM1499, 2GB, 500GB (5400rpm), FreeDOS

prices are RSP and negotiable. use the remaining budget to upgrade RAM to 4GB (for lenovo only) and extend the warranty to 3 years.

Hi guys, I'm looking for a laptop. But before I divulge my preference. Let me tell you about my current laptop.

My current laptop is a 5 year old 14" Dell with a 2.16Ghz C2D and 2GB RAM. My laptop is very basic. Classic theme Windows 7 and I do not play games. I frequently use the VirtualBox to test server config changes on the fly and Microsoft Word; again to write report and process documents on the fly.

For entertainment, I watch movies with VLC player or Media Player Classic and play music with foobar.

The thing I don't really like about my current laptop albeit being a reliable workhorse, is that it's heavy and heats up easily. My current laptop heats up easily when I'm running multiple stuff like VirtualBox, foobar, and multi-tab Chrome.

Now, I don't have any preferred brand. What I'm looking for is something practical, lightweight and portable. Preferably 14". It must be able to do what my current laptop is doing without hiccup with more room to spare. And most importantly, it does not heat up easily.

I'm looking at the Vostro 5460. If there's a similar spec laptop with similar price tag, please do suggest.

Thanks!

save more the money to extend 3 years warranty on site and upgrade the RAM to 4GB.

thumbs up for the reply  rclxms.gif

But is it possible for me to have the i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M + touchscreen ?

not possible. the Y series never have touch screen option until it is announced in later versions. anyway, touch screen laptops are marketing gimmicks. if you still insist on getting touch screen, then you can get this :
