1. Preferred Brand: ASUS
2. Budget: Below RM 2,500 3. Usage: Gaming, programming 4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" First of all, I need it to have good mobility that support decent gaming experience. I am using Matlab for programming, so I need graphic that has NVIDIA CUDA. If possible, I would like to have touch screen. |

QUOTE(raymondtong94 @ Jul 27 2013, 02:21 AM) guys, both of you can consider these (can omit if not applicable) : ASUS A55VJ-SX093H, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT635M@RM2499[2.52kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8; color: black Lenovo Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS, 120wPSU, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty Z480, i7-3632M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm) W8 G480, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT635M@RM1899, 4GB, 1TB (5400rpm), W8, 2 yrs warranty Z500, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2299[2.2kg], 4GB, 1TB, backlit, W8; 2 years warranty Toshiba Toshiba Satellite L50-A100X/XW, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[Onkyo], 4GB, 750GB, W8SL; 3 years local warranty; colors:silver/white Dark Lord touch screen is too gimmicky for your pick. a programmer does not rely on touch screens but a good keyboard. investing a bit less for laptop and get a good mechanical keyboard (priced around RM3xx) is a better pick for you. your coding experience will been so good after you get a mechanical keyboard. tengzt if you want a good cooling, its possible to avoid the laptops that you mentioned. the thinness of the laptops are not good for heat spread and hence, it can increase your temperature. so, it is preferable for you to choose something thick (Z500 is thin too but the heat is not too serious, compared to K46 and A550C)  QUOTE(devour @ Jul 27 2013, 02:25 AM) can consider Thanks for the recommendation. The specs for them looks nice. -Toshiba Satellite Lifestyle Series S40T- Intel® Core™ i5-3337U / 4GB / 750GB / NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 740M / W8 / 14" I have done some research on my own and found this model: ASUS K46CB. What do you think of this one? Btw, I never use toshiba and lenovo before. Actually, are there any differences between ASUS, Toshiba, and Lenovo in terms of quality?

QUOTE(devour @ Jul 27 2013, 08:57 PM) toshiba s40t have 3 year warranty , while asus have 2 year warranty, in term of build quality + material, Asus K46cm win . in term of mobility , toshiba s40t and Asus k46cb win . Lenovo build to be more bulky  QUOTE(raymondtong94 @ Jul 27 2013, 11:21 PM) the spec is ok for me. Thanks for the replies. about quality terms, we cant guarantee that all electronic products are 100% working fine, so thats why warranty support is important. haha, so it doesnt? my bad.  Now, I will decide between ASUS K46CB and Lenovo Z500. Got to go to the shop and take a look at myself before I decide. Anyway, based on the specs, most probably will go for lenovo. |

QUOTE(martian7793 @ Jul 28 2013, 11:35 PM) well..hmm..it looks cool! If you dont mind getting 15", lenovo Z500 looks good. 2.2kg isn't that much heavier compare to 2kg. i just check the weight of k46cb,Acer V5-473PG-54204G50 and Toshiba Satellite S40t-AS102X..3 of them also 2kg  both k46cb and toshiba s40t have ODD..but acer v5 also 2kg  |
