u can try google search for more detail idea , i can here provide u some rough thought .

SSD have faster write/read speed , no fan running (so laptop become more silent) , produce less heat thus longer battery life .
A SSD can boot Window 8 in 5 second or around that value (assume its not having very much program that ll having high impact on boot time installed)

S56CB-XX390H vs y410p which one is better to take?for assignment n light gaming,any more suggestion?

assignment ? uni usage ? go for s56cb , as its lighter (more portable) + maybe giving u a bit more battery life , but definitely vivobook dun have top class battery life if compare to zenbook .

1. Preferred Brand: Common brands in Malaysia
2. Budget: Around RM2,500, max RM3,000
3. Usage: MS office, work (accounting software), downloading, entertainment, itunes, moderate gaming.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15'

Mostly on for long hours and prefer comes with good cooling system.

is portability and battery life important ? u wish to set ur gaming detail at (low ? high?) ? screen resolution wanted ?

1. Preferred Brand : Anything with haswell processor
2. Budget : 2.5k
3. Usage : web surfing / dota 2 / programming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : at least 13"

I'm looking for free DOS version since I'm planning to upgrade to SSD and use my own windows key.

Dell Inspiron 14R, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM1999 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8 , 6 cell
Dell Inspiron 14R, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) @RM2499[2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), Ubuntu 12.04 , 6 cell; W8SL@RM2699

Btw do I really need i7 for my usage?

Nope u dun reli need I7 , btw there are many version of I7 too (ULV or QM,MQ) if u reli need to run intensive CPU tasks , better u go for normal I5 (I5-32xx) . performance even better than I7 ULV (15W)

I don't run cpu intensive program only do occasional dota 2 gaming and assignment stuff but
the price difference between those 2 models make me wonder should I top up RMM500 for
better graphic ( gt750m ) / better processor ( i7 )/ more RAM ( 8gb )

If u able to pay , i can say it worth it .

Battery life average, gaming details medium - high, screen resolution 1600 x 900 or lower a bit also acceptable.

was tying to order it but how do i choose the ubuntu version?

V5-573PG-74504G50r, i5-4500U + Nvidia GT750M + (1366x768; touch)@RM2899, 4GB, 500GB, W8

S550CB-CJ102H i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB + (1366x768; touch)@RM2599[2.3kg], 4GB, W8

Y510p, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080)@RM3099[2.7kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, swappable ODD, 120w psu, 2 yrs

dont think its coming with ubuntu version , let me know if i am wrong

1. Asus, dell
2. Below 2k
3. Easy to carry, paper work, and always working with comport to other device
4. 14"

For Y510p, may I know what's it different with Y500? And whether is it available in Malaysia as I can't find the model in the Lenovo Malaysia website.

omai for that price I rather top up RM200 for full performance i7 and get lenovo y410p

but my budget doesn't allow me to do that zzz

another solution is skip the ssd can get y410p then winrar

Y500 is the old model , we can conclude that Y510P is the successor of Y500 , which spotted Haswell refreshed I7 CPU and also The GT750M instead GT650M in Y500 , they both support SLI with corresponding extra GPU slot being installed . They both need a 170W adapter to provide juice for the SLI power .

Officially , Y510P hasnt released in MY yet , while there are many sellers in garage sell selling Y510P (US/AP) at cheaper price than expected retail of MY version of Y510P .

So how s ur decision bro ?

after raya only decide and order since courier not working also

most probably going for



meanwhile survey notebooks first

Maybe u can try search in garage sell see whether got seller selling cheap ??
