Hi, i'm wanting to buy a laptop for assignment, research and play some computer games such as fifa and 2k13. My budget is RM2000 to RM3000.

1) any asus or lenovo laptop to be recommanded??

2) any comment on lenovo Z500 no touch screen and lenovo Y500??

bro, u can ask recommendation here

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2873123/+200

much better there

Of course Lenovo lah. Buy ASUS...you will cry if your lappy got problem...ASUS is legendary with sucky service. When buy laptop, only 3 brands...DELL, LENOVO, HP.

DELL quality is so-so, but best service. Lenovo has great build quality (best lappy keyboard in the market...DNA from IBM thinkpad) and great services ( i was online with their support at 10:30pm and they reply and fix my issue the next day).

Asus laptops are actually the most reliable, along with that of Toshiba's, so they're not really all that bad. Mine hasn't had any issues in the 3 years I've had it so I can't comment on the service though. It's still chugging along playing Skyrim, Dead Island and Starcraft II. But if I were going for a new gaming laptop, I'd go with Lenovo since they've got the best specs for their prices, and that's pretty much what matters most in gaming.

The SquareTrade reliability survey saying Asus and Toshiba are the most reliable was done ages ago, its not applicable to what we have now anymore unfortunately

And most of the recent surveys are done by asking people one-by-one, which is a useless statistics if you ask me
Would be nice if we have another statistics from SquareTrade

asus reliability give better in record, but once u get into problem, their customer service in malaysia is worst, lenovo is very worth in term of price, but the quality still not yet know

Bro , asus is always the best.

wait until you send-in your notebook.
10-14 working days for repairs(component replacement).
Only repair what user complained.
What ever problem/s that user didn't complain or notice is/are ignored.

Aiyo , my uncle working at Asus . He RMA my lappie for like 6 days only bro @@.

Not everyone here has an Uncle working at Asus. Those that don't be prepared to cry cry cry if your laptop got problem, and you need to have a run in with Asus Malaysia's now Legendary services.

Keep in touch with me la , more better.
I'll help out Asus user out here.
Justice will be served !

Keyword: YOUR UNCLE.

Lenovo Y400, Y410p, Y500 and Y510p all very cheap already..just buy and upgraded to maximum...and enjoy ur lappy...:-D

KEYWORD : Join me !

funny....!

I offer help mah to asus user since i kinda like asus product and their recent ROG.

KEYWORD: No thanks. Already have enough with ASUS Service. Banned all ASUS product forever.

Then what brand you're using @@?

Looks like you have not encounter with Acer service center yet. Asus service center in Malaysia so far so good for me as it only provide standard service.

Now most of the brand start to have on site service. Asus commerical desktops have on site service also.

However, recently i heard their new product still need some improvement.

yeap..!

Never said Acer is any better. Like i said earliear, only 3 brands can consider for lappy. Rest can throw.

So scary.. almost sounds like he's asking you to marry him... HAHAHA...

No la , i ask him if need help tell me la.

nearly fall for ASUS G750 damn cheap offer on sunday.
im about to take out my wallet and after i recall that ASUS has legendary service, i rejected.

sorry for interrupting. im using HP Elitebook 6930p., the legendary business laptop that rarely breaks down with amazing build quality.
and thanks for your help offer. i will never ever consider about ASUS, no matter how many peoples whom their relatives are working with ASUS.

take lenovo la..quite good spec and cheap price also...

i prefer lenovo for now because of it design ,performance and price is much better than asus.

For the quality issue is depend on luck based on my opinion

wow I thought the bad warranty service (Asus) only happened in Singapore (heard from my friend), didn't know the service here is equally bad

lenovo price are much affordable right now in the market.

What to do? A lot of people i see is "good price = good product".

Product quality is a factor that is always overlooked if the item does not break down easily. For normal user, it is sufficient for the quality part if it don't break down easily.

Realy? why not in my case? I have y500. Issue happens. I waited about two weeks already. The laptop is still at the service center, seremban. Where is your place? Where does u send you laptop? at what service center???? PLeaseeeee, i really need to know the place which is the best for my lenovo laptop

True man. I'm using Mac Book Boot Camp with my friends Lonovo laptop. specs is the same but mine is faster when doing 3ds exportation file...

Multimedia laptop is YES for mac. Apple has the best LionOS in order to do any multimedia things even the laptop specs is not so high end like windows. The optimization in Apple OS is too good in a sense of 3ds eg autocad or others multimedia software.

But if u end up with gaming, Mac is not the best since the specs is not quite good for gaming. Even u take macbook pro (rm6k) the specs is likely rm32++ of other brands(laptops)

Note that bro

i knew that but i was in WIndow 7 boot camp when me and my friend export a 33mb google 3d sketch up file

lenovo same spec as mac book ?

hmmm , but apple generally use higher quality hardware , in those other hardware which is not stated in spec ....

while lenovo skim a bit to keep the price low i guess , like the network card and others. Doesn't impact much , it will be slow in some part , but not till the point of unbearable.

Haha actually all brand have a good and bad service center..not all perfect meh...even the dell also sometimes have a bad services, btw it depend on management of the service center..

For example if service center at kuala lumpur give the best services in the world in term of any brand maybe asus or lenovo, is it cannot be same to other state or place because they do not have the same people handle the sc..haha

Sorey I'm just give my opinion and I'm not bias to any brand hehe

What do you mean by export? is it file transfering?

No mate. Like in sketch up. Export to 3ds file and autocad file that part lagging

yup, need to consider the design. Maybe the mac is cooler. That makes everything run smoother. (Y)
