QUOTE(boejenkt @ Apr 18 2013, 08:40 AM) Hi guys, If you prefer a light notebook, then the U940 is definitely the better pick here 1. Preferred Brand - Any except Asus 2. Budget - 2.5k 3. Usage - Office work, movies, casual gaming 4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14"-15", light preffereable Need suggestion to decide between this laptop lenovo z500 or toshiba satellite u940 did compare the price almost the same and u940 got 32gb ssd+640gb sata compare to z500 1tb sata hdd really confusing to choose or is there any other laptop within the same range of price and performance that u guys can recommend.. 15 inchers are pretty bulky to bring about, even when some of them are quite slim |

QUOTE(Kogami @ Apr 18 2013, 11:18 AM) guys Which one is better depends on what you plan to use the ultrabooks for, which is why we have a format to follow at the 1st page hp envy4-1204tx & toshiba u940-1001x which one is better? and i saw threads about hp notebook overheating issue, is it the same to this model? Both are ultrabooks, so they will get hot when on load as compared to normal notebooks |

QUOTE(meckronos @ Apr 18 2013, 12:48 PM) Hi, need some expert recommendations here also If having a better screen for viewing pleasure and photoshop is more important to you, then the Acer would be a great choice for your budget:1. Preferred Brand - any except hp 2. Budget - 2.5k - 3.2k 3. Usage - mosty high-end gaming, photoshop, also programming 4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14 or 15.6 been eyeing on lenovo y400 for its gt650 graphic card, but the stores I went don't have stock (and promoting other models instead). one model, an acer i think, is using gt730 so im not sure if its good. thanks 15.6" Acer V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8 * use remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years Otherwise, you can try and find Y400 (I still saw one or 2 units some time ago at Digital Mall SS14), or you can simply wait for the upcoming Y400 with GT750M |

QUOTE(PowerGadget @ May 11 2013, 09:31 PM) Haha..I wanted an ultrabook because I feel that ultrabook has durable build quality not? I want something that durable and the laptop is smooth in usage(Free of lag if can)and dont have any heating problem.sorry sifu for confusing hehe I think you are getting it wrong here Ultrabooks, due to its slim profile, will definitely be less durable, and also suceptible to higher heat because of the lack of space for proper heat dissipation. Prolong exposure to heat = higher risks of damage to internal components Like what nexus sifu said, better avoid ultrabooks, since you are not moving around alot, try and get a larger notebook |

QUOTE(WoShiAiZai @ May 16 2013, 01:57 PM) Hi, i was confusing on which to get between these 2 laptops: Get the Y400, I'm pretty sure you will continue playing games in the long run Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS, 120wPSU, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty Budget: As low as possible Usage: Uni life, slight gaming(Assassin creed, Dota 2 & Dragon Nest) Here are some questions that i hope pros to give advice: 1. Is it worth the $ to get i7? 2. I'm planning to replace the HDD with SSD but i don't have any idea on which brand i should get and can this perform by the reseller? (computer geek here 3. If i were to get the Y400, is it possible for me to install W8 myself? Would i encounter any problem by doing so? By then you will need the extra juice from (especially) the graphic card 1. Its not really worth it if you are only using it for games, but its not like you have much of a choice since the GPU is better in the Y400 2. Yeah, you can ask resellers for help 3. Yeah you can install W8 yourself |

QUOTE(lowyat5665 @ May 16 2013, 05:40 PM) Hi sifu, I would like you to recommend some notebook which meet the following requirement. Might I suggest you opt for a portable and cheap ultrabook so that you can spend more money on your desktop for better performance? Brand : Any Budget : 2.5k to 3.5k Screen : Any OS : Free Dos if possible Use for : gaming ( I do not play FPS game because I will faint ) and entertainment (video, music) Other requirement : silent when boosts CPU/GPU, good thermal solution, SSD ( annoying in waiting comp to boot up ), as light as possible ( around 2 to 3 kg is okay ) Because I am thinking to replaced it with my currently desktop, which mean in home I will connect it to LED monitor, therefore I am not bother about the screen size. I am thinking is it worth to buy a notebook or desktop, because I wish to use notebook at outside frequently. Please recommend me >< thanks very much!!!!!

QUOTE(SingStone @ May 15 2013, 10:52 PM) Hope you guys would like to help me. You can't have the best of everything unfortunately, you will need to fork out ~RM6k-10k to get a notebook that fulfills your requirements 1. Preferred Brand: ASUS (If any, can recommend so; But at least don't wan those brands of laptop that release too much of heat, thus I can eliminate the use of cooler) 2. Budget: As Low As Possible (Price just match with the requirements I need, dont too over) 3. Usage: Running Engineering Simulation Software(eg: Solidworks, Ansys, Autocad ;need to be high efficiency, no lag, no hang), Uni Assignment, Playing Games(eg:Dota, Starcraft II, Fifa), Watching Movie, Listening Music 4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" or 15" One more question to ask: I heard there is an ASUS laptop very popular, lack of stock and mostly available in kl now with very high spec (win8, i7, 8gb ram, touch screen, <ultrabook not sure>) with price about RM2700. Is this real? If yes, may I know the model no. ? Your reply will be greatly appreciated. Thanks every master sifu here. Asus notebooks are popular because the design is good... people buy mostly based on the outlook of the notebook, regardless of how terrible the warranty service of Asus is in Malaysia Still, you can try looking out for these two models: 15.6" Asus N56VZ-S3151H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M@RM2799[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 750GB, W8; color: black N56VB-S3070H, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M + (1920x1080)@TBA[/b][2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 750GB, W8 |
