Hi all, it's me again 

Looking for laptop with below specs:
1. Preferred Brand: Open to all recommendations
2. Budget: around RM3k
3. Usage: Movies, torrenting, net surfing and a lot of gaming (probably Dota2, Crysis1-3, blackops 2, etc)
4. Preferred laptop: Durable, must feel solid, no flimsy areas or LCD hinges like on some Acer and Dell models. i7 3rd gen, GT 700 series
5: Screen Size: 14" or 15.6"

I think I need a laptop for my daily gaming use. I have been used to desktops so I'm quite particular in CPU power / speed. Graphics wise, I would say I'd go for medium graphics on native resolution. (should not demand too much on my tight budget)
I've been following this thread for a while, and have set my eyes on the following:

ASUS S46CB 14 inch - http://sg.asus.com/Notebooks/Superior_Mobi...#specifications
Not quite sure about this cos it uses ULV processor, but the graphics is good. (GT 740M) Around RM 2500 ?

Lenovo Y400 14 inch - i7 QM + GT750m. Around RM2799
this definitely suit my needs but did some research and found that Lenovo Y400/Y500 QC seems to be inconsistent. Although this model is very very popular right now, I see that people do face some problems with drivers, touchpad, and wifi issues (disconnections). as I am using company Lenovo business laptop as well, I do have this issue too. seems to plague a lot of Lenovo models? if anybody here using this model, do you mind to share your experience? I would appreciate that.

Acer V3 15.6 inch -  i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M + (1920x1080 IPS). around RM 2899
Acer not a fan of Acer, but if the build quality is solid, can consider. GT 730M is not strong for the screen (1080p), or maybe it's me

Would need some help in deciding or some recommendations and Thanks for the feedback guys! 

Hye is there new model for y580.. somebody told me a new y580 with gt750 coming this month.. the gpu on par with gtx660 right?

Hi! Would appreciate a lot if you guys could give me some recommendation for laptops.

1. Open to most brands.
2. RM3k - RM3.5k
3. I'm a multimedia designer. So heavy usage on website design, video editing & graphic design programmes. Programmes such as After effect, premiere pro, photoshop & etc..
4. Preferred specs are i7 processor, 8gb ram (or more), 1080p resolution screen size & 15.6" screen size laptop.

Thank for your time!

1. Preferred Brand : Any
2. Budget : RM 2.5k
3. Usage : looking for a light laptop for mainly on-the-go video editing (Sony Vegas)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14-inch

I saw the new Dell Vostro 5460 (only 1.54kg) with the following specs:
Intel i5-3230M
Nvidia GT630M 2GB DDR3
4GB RAM (should be upgrade-able to 8GB)

Appreciate if any sifu(s) here can feedback if the specs above can run Sony Vegas comfortably for HD Video editing?
Mostly simple edits at 1080p and occasionally 2.7k...not much transitions/effects...

Thanks in advance!

1. any (please make note if warranty service is terribad.. i heard asus is terriworst)
2. any
3. AutoCAD (need speed i think)
4. =>15", IPS

notes: self-install ssd

ust to confirm, the i5 ULV would be the i5-3337U rite?

Really? Gt750m better than gtx660m? Can u guys recommend me a full hd laptop with thoa gpu.. budget around rm2500-3200.. hardcore gamer with low budget.. :'(

Good question on the Lenovo.. i would like to know too... Anyone have comments on this lenovo model?

About the Vostro 5460, I'm thinking that the single slot with 8GB memory is quite limited. Based on ur previous recommendations, the Lenovo Z400 looks good ... and maybe a Lenovo E430 too...

Hi all sifus, I'm planning to get a new laptop at the middle of next month(may)

Previously a lot of people recommended me Lenovo y500 but still waiting for the new batch. So, I hope can have few different laptop with similar performance level so that I'm able to compare it.

1. Preferred Brand - except acer, any other brand also can

2. Budget - below rm 4 k

3. Usage - gaming, college work, web surfing

4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15" inch

Thank in advance =))

Illegear RS-15, i5-3210M + AMD HD7970M + (1920x1080)@RM5299, 8GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS [CPU Options: i5-3210M - i7-3940XM][GPU options: GTX680M]

First time hearing of this brand.. but very interesting
Are you a distributor for illegear or must order direct from illegear?

1. Super Glossy IPS screen possible?
2. Does GPU matter for AutoCAD? (not going to use 3d features i think)
3. Can self-change hard disk to ssd? Or need to disassemble (void warranty) to change hdd?

Currently having dilemma in choosing these 2 laptops

Lenovo z500 & Asus S550cm

Lenovo
*i5 3210M (35watts) higher clockspeed
*nVidia gt645m
*15.6 non-touchscreen
* slightly bulkier

Asus
*i5 3317M (17watts) lower clockspeed
*nVidia gt635m
*15.6 touchscreen
*ultrabook category

Budget about Rm2500

Mostly for online and occasionally gaming

15" and above as I don't travel with it frequently.

*Will be bringing it to oversea therefore need a brand which provide best international warranty.

Mind advising..?   

Will be going to US soon but I'm not familiar with there so will get it here first...   
I will just put the laptop at room most of the time so I think 15 inch will be more comfortable for my eye.
N56 design and performance wise is okay but its slightly over budget... Might consider... 

S550CM belongs to ultrabook, ultrabook have higher price tag, that's normal.
Seriously Vivobook ultrabook series considered one of the cheapest ultrabook you can find in market already, if you can find any ultrabook below Rm1.8k 14 inch with i5 processor using Intel HD graphics, tell me

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.

Maybe this review will say how vivobook s400 compared with others

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-V...ok.84582.0.html

By the way, lenovo s400 with mSATA its price very nice, but review score still cannot compared with vivobook.
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo...ok.83304.0.html

I not sure notebookcheck is bias or not, but they review every notebook with very detail, not just looking on performance only. I am not fan of Asus or what, and Asus S400 did have its own disadvantages like reflective screen, below average battery life etc. But on other side like temperature and noise, it really did quite well.

I know for many of the people thinks that vivobook s400CA price is not very good because it lacks of decent graphic cards, but forgive me I am the person who thinks that graphic card is not necessary. And I think that most lowyat members too much focusing on good graphic cards, maybe I am the only members who are neither gamers nor graphics user... but I have to say that, if someone like me don't play intensive games, why don't just throw away the graphic cards? It save your notebook weight , battery, noise and temperature.

But then actually I am dilemma between S400CA and Y580 too. i7 for such attractive price undeniably its quite a great bargain, plus so many USB3.0 slots, but is really bulky. Deciding a laptop is more mess than choosing a girls. Asus S400 is just like a sexy lady with sweet face, Lenovo Y580 is just like a fat-ass girl like Happy Polla but rich background. Hahaha

sry i noe i am out topic but pls can help? i just get dell 14r se i5 with 4gb ram . now i want add another 4gb ram to it but i dont noe how to choose a matching ram for it any sifu can help ?

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

If possible,put SSD also..
Please advice,thanks
