What kind of "work" are you performing?
Quad core is necessary if your apps churns large set of data continuously and your apps support it.
Otherwise how "fast" a normal laptop could go is actually bottlenecked by the slooooow HDD Swap out the HDD for SSD (128G ~ RM300, 256G ~ RM600) for major improvement.

The thing about models that are getting refreshed - you may need to do some leg work to find them if you really want them.
Some re-sellers don't stock inventories (actually a good idea from their perspective).
Some re-sellers has old stocks
For example, Z480 was not supplied by Lenovo for > 4 months. The other day one LYNer asked about blue colour laptop for tight budget. Yesterday, I saw one blue Z480 right at a shop lot in Kepong Aeon Big (as I did my grocery shopping), selling cheap

Anyway, GT720M, as arc x mentioned, perform similar like GT630M / GT635M.
But G400s is slimmer, so make sure you has good external cooling when you game

Hi I'm looking for a lightweight and slim laptop as I travel a lot. Just for basic office, watch movie that's all,

1. Any Brand
2. Within RM2k range
3. Just basic usage light word editiing, watch movie
4. 14 inch

*If possible with DOS lor xD,without GPU also ok since for lightweight usage or not most important is the weight.
I think the most suitable one for me is this

Guys thanks for the reply on my last post.. really appreciate it..

For now i want to know if anyone has the knowledge about the Samsung Series 7 gamer?
About the specs and price??? i'm looking for it here but seems i can't find any???

and guys have visited dell ground floor at lowyat yesterday and they already have an alienware laptop m14 i guess. costs something about 5k ringgit.

That Vostro 5460 fit you to a tee
Slap in a SSD (128G ~ RM300) to replace the HDD for a really satisfying user experience

This was in Malaysia for a while last year. Samsung don't bring in too many Series 7 into Malaysia

Thanks. Currently reviewing this ultrabooks.

By the way, what is your personal opinion on macbook air?

personally i dun use mac air unless ur work reli need their OS (like some engineering or drawing software) , otherwise stick to Windows as u can get conventional programme easier and more options =)

And also lower price for same specs build actually price count into their build quality , so u can see around this kind of price in zenbook and samsung ultrabook coz they both uses same top notch build quality , screen in Samsung and Zenbook would easily blew mac air off

Coming back to the MBA that I mentioned earlier eh?

Good stuff. If you want best battery running time, this is the ONE right now.
Haswell, spec with HD5000 (best IGPU for ultrabook without discrete GPU). The SSD also is the fastest in the market right now (proprietary but very similar to m.2 port)
Within your budget.
As I mentioned, if you need win OS, just run bootcamp (it is fully supported by Apple).

haha
i'm actually asking for a friend of mine, i suggested the MBA too but she just idk dont like apple or something
She can wait so if you say Haswell is worth the wait i think i'll ask her to wait then
Thanks btw

What a rarity, a girl who don't like Apple
Yes, come back in 3 months (around October). W8.1 will be out for a month by then. Haswell production will be in full swing, brands will push out all models to position for western holidays season.
And we will have ample time to know how good the other brands are packaging Haswell. Choices galore

Hi Guys, gonna need some help here.

1. Any Brand Will Do,
2. Budget 2k-2.5k , max 5k if really worth the money
3. Gaming and Uni Study with high fps.
4. 14/15 inch light and long lasting.

My work require a lot of video editing, in which I found very handy in using mac software (love how they compress HD file). The price of Zenbook and Samsung I think is a more or less of a mac air I think..

It's not wrong to have more option right?

I think there is no reason to buy that price for mac, just to use win OS. I read through reviews and mac air probably the one suits me well for now.

Any other opinions are welcomed.

One of the flaw in which the screen is not matte and low resolution . Also , too simple design forgive me to say so , they just use the same design every year .

so you are basically saying that you are bored with apple's design. am i right?

yup , quite , its elegance and nice , BUT , there no creative , ppl just cant differ whether this is 2011 version ? 2012 ? or 2013 ?

U mean glossy (not matte?). Yeap, the design is at simplest as it is, but I prefer 'minimalist' design to keep things simple and clean.

How about Dell and HP? Hear lot bad news for HP before but I am not sure on their ultrabook market..

Hey guys, the local Malaysia Sony VAIO Pro not yet launching?

still way long to wait , 3 month to half a year maybe .
