1. Preferred Brand (HP/DELL/SONY/ basically any brandswhich has good specs)
2. Budget (RM3000 and below) 3. Usage (photoshop, emails, some editing here and there) 4. Preferred laptop/screen size ( no preferred size, the better the performance, the better the laptop is |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Jul 12 2013, 10:59 AM) Definitely this one if performance is your top priority wow, that looks very promising... definately what i'm looking for... 14" Lenovo Y410p, i7-4700MQ + GT750M(GDDR5)@RM2899, 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, 120w psu, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty  but i have a few questions 1) is the warranty international? (as in i can go to australia, india, china, japan and still claim the warranty) 2) is the cooling system okay? (does it heat up a lot) 3) are you a seller? I'll also be doing some googling job on the model to read more, but appreciate if sifus and kind people to give opinion on this...  |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Jul 12 2013, 11:28 AM) More details on the Y series here: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2851949 thanks mate, will definitely have a look there and perhaps also ask some questions over there... cheers... and thanks again...Its a very comprehensive thread by ytlay sifu, I'm sure you will find eveything there  As for international warranty coverage, I'm not so sure anymore, and I didn't manage to find much info from their website, pretty confusing.. Better check with sellers or Lenovo itself As for the heat, the notebook will get hot since it packs quite a lot of punch  Just make sure you clean the fans regularly And if you are still worried, replace the HDD with an SSD, that will reduce heat by abit~ |

hye guys, its me again... i asked previously but now this friend of mind strictly wants a laptop with i5 and windows 7 original, hope i can get some help to suggest to this friend of mine...
1. Preferred Brand - Any (less problematic) 2. Budget - RM3k 3. Usage - Online, ms office, photoshop, coral, movies 4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14" and above 5. Prefered RAM - 4gb and above (better if have or can support more than 8gb) 6. OS - MUST be windows 7, not quite okay with windows 8 7. Processor - MUST BE i5 (the friend of mine do not want i7 even after trying to persuade him the whole day) 8. Optical drive - at least dvd (better if can read blue ray) Additional - If possible, want a good quality screen, if not possible within the price range, well, there's nothing i can say then... Hope i can find the best laptop with i5 at that price range |

QUOTE(nexus2238 @ Jul 14 2013, 08:01 PM) 14", freedos, i5, < RM3k? my personal preference would be Y400, i7-3630QM with free dos, install windows 7 on it, and upgradeto 8 gb ram... but well, its quite hard to find a place to buy both the laptop with windows 7 on it... If i had the luxury of time to go to lowyat, it would be a done deal...Not much choice. Dell Inspiron 14-3421, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT625M@RM1649[1.99kg], Ubuntu, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 6-cell; W8SL@RM1899 Inspiron 14R, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT625M@RM1699[2.33], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), Linux; W8SL@RM1999 Inspiron 14R, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT730M@RM2099[2.33kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), Linux; W8SL@RM2299 Vostro 5460, i5-3230M +Nvidia GT630M@RM1899[1.54kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu 12.04, 3 cell; W8SL@RM2099 MSI CX41, i5-3210M + AMD HD7670M@RM1799, 2GB,750GB, freedoms Lenovo G480, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT635M@RM1699, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS Prices are RSP, negotiable. For Photoshop and Corel suites, your friend need CPU+GPU. If there isn't much 3D stuff, the CPU is really important. If choosing from the list above, the G480 is the best combo. But seriously, look at this instead: Acer V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8 For the money, this is the laptop with the best screen around. 15" FHD, IPS, i7 CPU, plus a mid range GPU. Great machine for Photoshop & Corel suites. plus the friend for some reason unknown to human kind, insist on not wanting the i7... *sigh* |
