QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Aug 20 2013, 11:13 PM) What is NAS? once I got my Synology 2-bay NAS running at RAID-1, I never look back  I mostly seed / torrent music files (lossy format since my ears really is not that good to need FLAC), so TB size HDD is sufficient. The NAS run rather quiet and cool, and I set it up so that I could even access it from office |

QUOTE(technosakai @ Aug 20 2013, 11:54 PM) wow thanks for the reply of choices of laptops Not that many models actually, some are just different specs for the same model. but so many to choose from. Any highly recommended one? also, whats RSP? you're a re-seller? Basically all of them are sufficient for you in terms of usage requirement. If you like longer battery running time, then go for U(LV/LT) rather than M(obile) CPU. Those Haswell ULT (ix-4xxxU) has even better battery running time (assume same battery capacity). The the rest is subjective and all up to you. Go out and look / touch / click / type / listen / carry the models to see which one you like best RSP - recommended selling price by brands. Re-sellers typically sell at lower than RSP. No, I'm NOT a re-seller If you want a very responsive laptop, may want to set aside some budget for SSD (128G ~ RM300, 256G ~ RM600). Swap the SSD with the HDD, install OS and apps on the SSD (keep the HDD as external HDD), normally will not void hardware warranty. This post has been edited by nexus2238: Aug 21 2013, 09:46 AM |

1. No preferred brand
2. Around 3.5k-4 3. Gaming, and normal stuffs 4. 15.6' minimum I'm not looking into mobility but rather a laptop which I can game and bring around at times instead needing to bring over the whole desktop. I'm actually looking into Lenovo 510 (Sli) and ILLEGEAR RE-15. I play games at 1080p and hope that I could get them at least on high settings. Any recommendations from you guys ? Any better models? Best buy? |
