QUOTE(liquidsny @ Jul 14 2013, 02:53 PM) any other brand than asus you can recommend ? the one in this list can play dota 2? Not sure whether they can play Dota 2  Probably possible at lowest settings~ RM1k is too low to expect too much in terms of gaming performance |

QUOTE(nexus2238 @ Jul 14 2013, 08:31 PM) The GPU in the Y400 is overkill. The Acer V3 has a much better screen. If your friend is serious about photoshop / corel suite, then he / she will appreciate the big difference in screen. lol, why my friends always blame me when their notebooks got problem? It's your friend's choice anyway  i5 or i7 ... You give the best advice you can, he / she is the one that have to make decision and live with it   |

QUOTE(raymondtong94 @ Jul 14 2013, 11:26 PM) my only answer is question back them and make a conclusion, 'have you ever realize that computers are products that are guaranteed to be working fine? thats why all computers or parts comes with warranty and allow you to make a claim if there are defects.' BUT, when it comes to software, i will generally ask them, 'are you watching prawn?' TOo much prawns is not good I'll give them that much haha~ Still, people like them don't understand that much one la... if notebook spoils, then that brand is lousy and they will not buy from that brand anymore And if they are lucky and the notebook never spoil, then they will continue to support that brand, regardless of what brand it is  |

QUOTE(jiant @ Jul 15 2013, 10:56 PM) my budget below Rm 3000. For your usage, its better to opt for this one, with the latest (4th generation) processor some more, and a pretty decent graphic card Use for multimedia like non professional video, music or photo edit. Watching online video..surfing web and normal gaming. The full model for z480 is z480 5938-1868 With 3632QM 2.2 i7 CPU and win 8 64 bit. The shopper say is new product...with limited edition volume...isn't it? 14" Lenovo Y410p, i7-4700MQ + GT750M(GDDR5)@RM2899, 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, 120w psu, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty The Z480 is running on a 3rd generation processor, so I wouldn't say its new lol.. and I don't think its limited edition. even if it is, its still not worth buying |

QUOTE(peter32 @ Jul 16 2013, 06:45 PM) Sorry i am not following the format, but general question on Laptop today: 1. Definitely! No matter how tight it is in the beginning, it will falter 1. Hinge type laptop with touch capability, will prolonged use of touch on the laptop screen cause future trouble with the hinge ? eg. make it loose etc ? 2. What is the minimal graphic card capacity able to display future 4K videos ? I am not looking at the laptop screen though, more like video output to external video display. 3. What is the cheapest tablet/laptop hybrid in the market today ? eg. acer P9, lenovo twist, yoga etc etc... Thank you for your attention. Much appreciate it. Never get a hinged notebook with touchscreen2. What is future 4K video? LOL, sorry, not familiar with it... 3. Please follow the format if you need recommendations. I could just recommend a RM500 tablet and it might not even fit your usage LOL This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Jul 16 2013, 06:58 PM |
