spec

15.6" FULL HD Display /I7-4700/4G/1TB/GT 750 M -2VG/6X BLU RAY/W8/BAG,SUB-W

Can consider Toshiba Satellite Lifestyle Series S40T-

Intel® Core™ i5-3337U / 4GB / 750GB / NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 740M / W8 / 14"

roughly how much?

RM 2449

What's the cheapest price I can get ? It giving a 5200 RPM HDD

can anyone here tell me what is the difference of ventilation system between re-15 and rs-15?and i try to google both laptop review but cant find any

1) Mainly for internet, Microsoft Office, Youtube and Music
2) Prefer mobile type (smaller so can carry around), say maximum screen size I can tolerate is 14"
3) Reliable
4) Good service
5) Hybrid hard drive
6) Budget below RM3.3K

I drill down to Sony, HP, Asus or Toshiba... What you guys recommend?

RE-15 uses single fan solution, while RS-15 uses dedicated fan solutions for each processing unit. you can look at their back cover dismantle pictures.

if you are not 'brand locked', i would suggest you to take this :

Oh man, my turn to buy a new laptop, currently using CQ40 LCD screen like the horror movie "The Ring" TV splashing.
So I been watching this Asus model study around its spec, so is there still have any alternative brand for Lenovo/Acer similar to this spec?
ASUS K46CB-WX060H – 14” / i5-3337U / 2GB / 750GB / GT740 2G / W8 <-- Can upgrade RAM or not?
Any Sifu give me a Green Light for this model or other choices?

how about the new release laptops with amd richland processor?

iinm, nothing in Malaysia right now.

K46CB-WX060H, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[2kg], 2GB, 750GB, W8, 4-cell, OD

From Asus, pretty much only that one.

Lenovo
Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty

Another interesting choice is this:
Toshiba
Satellite L40-AS109Xb/G/W, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[Onkyo], 4GB, 750GB, 3 years local warranty

The Toshiba come with 3 year warranty, and both the Lenovo and Toshiba has ODD.
Lenovo and Toshiba warranty service is better than Asus
Both are ~ 2.2kg, not as light as the K46CB

Windows RT, not compatible with lots of window desktop apps
Have its usage and niche, but I strongly suspect WinRT is dead (Microsoft just took a huge write-down in its latest quarterly result on WinRT).
When 22nm Atom coming out later this year, tablets from Windows camp can run full W8(.1), defeating the whole purpose of WinRT

Btw, in case you didn't know, all the devices in the market running WinRT just have major price cut (>30%) lately Draw whatever conclusion you like

Check how many RAM slots are available in the laptop. If there are unoccupied slots, you could put more stick in.
Hard to say, most of the non-performance RAM work quite well together. The more "on the edge", the more fickle they become. Anyway, if all the sticks are not of the same timing, (and if they work), they will run at the slowest timing.

GT750M SLI run close to GTX765M for games that support SLI. (big difference between GTX765 vs GTX765M )
Y500 is still ivy bridge, Y510p (should be in Malaysia soon) is spec with Haswell just like Y410p.

I think I just stick with K46CB-WX060H since is lighter than the 2 model you mentioned. So is it possible to add RAM and then do this package bundle with Backpack?
