THX so much()Y

you might want to wait for a refreshed surface pro.
that is the hottest windows tablet out there in the market, even the RT version also done a pretty good job.

Budget 2k
Preferred size 15"
Looking for one that has GT740M

budget = RM2.5k any brand hazzle free

Closest would be these two
15.6"

lenovo Z500, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2299[2.2kg], 4GB, 1TB, backlit, W8; 2 years warranty


Toshiba Satellite L50-A100X/XW, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[Onkyo], 4GB, 750GB, W8SL; 3 years local warranty; colors:silver/white

I would go for the Tosh since it comes with 3 years warranty standard

Assuming you are looking for something portable:
11.6"
Lenovo Yoga 11s, i3-3229Y + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1366x768, IPS touch)@RM2599, 4GB, W8, 2 years; colors: grey/orange

Does backlit give any difference on the display?

The backlit in the specs refers to the keyboard being backlit ya lol

not for gaming, buying for my sister's use.

wouldnt the power supply be huge considering it's using 760m? I dont think she'd want that.

How about 14"?Any recommendations?

Here you go, specs are pretty much the same throughout ~

Depending on what Autocad she will be dealing with, 3D ones will require a powerful graphic card. And when the specs are powerful, battery life will go down

How about these? Running on ULV processors and weaker GPUs

Hi all got queries

1. Preferred Brand:anything but apple
2. Budget:myr2k-3k
3. Usage:smooth photo editing...llghtroom and cs6..my current notebook always hang coz of these 2 sw...
4. Preferred laptop/screen size:15icnh

Just about any basic i5/i7 with lots of Ram would do the job well.

Optional: SSD to reduce picture loading/rendering speed.

Tips: Might want to look for better quality displays which feature higher colour gamut

Any good recommendation for better display? Currently i am projecting it from dell monitor...hehehe..thats why display not really matter to me..

Hi I need ur help...

amd 7670m 1gb vram or 8730m 2gb vram

Which one is better??

The dealer offer these 2 with same price...
I search in gpuboss.com cant really understand well... which would u prefer?

Since you already have a good Dell monitor; -kytz- is right, a notebook with a quad-core i7, lots of RAM (8-16GB) and an SSD will be good enough. That is what I am using now (although older generation tech lol) to process my D800's RAW files

Unfortunately most of the haswell-powered quad core mobile i7 notebooks costs more than RM3k. If you really want a Haswell powered one, then closest would be this one:

If you don't mind a 3rd generationed CPU, then these:
15.6"
Acer V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8

*Prices in RRP, negotiable
*Your budget doesn't allow SSD upgrade at this time. But the good thing is that you could always upgrade later
