im fine with 3D. laugh.gif
just need the 3D screen to run games on 120Hz only, 90% is for that more than 3D.

just buy an Inspiron 15 7000 full spec, save your hassle. laugh.gif
or Inspiron 17 7000 if you like bigger screens.

Won't external monitors be better picks? hmm.gif
But up to you la haha, I'm just saying haha, not really familiar with 3D tech XD

Illegears are very tempting, but at up to RM8-10k, its not exactly very cheap also haha, for that price I would "subconsciously" expect them to last 8-10 years haha XD After all, RM1k for one year is pretty rational no? XD

Entering next stage of life haha, expectations and expenditures also need to change already as there are bigger things in life now sad.gif
I think I should try to find some ways to prolong the life of my m14x~

i wish i could get external monitors too. just the problem is, i might constantly travel in the future, so i would prefer a high performance laptop with 120Hz screen.

if you wanted to prolong your m14x life, just regularly service it like a car will do a good job. smile.gif

Yeah, I understand what you mean lol... go and [s]buy[/s[ bug Prince J for 3D screen brows.gif

I don't know how to service my m14x, too complicated for me haha laugh.gif
And I can't risk spoiling it, too much pending work @_@
My next notebook has to be more maintenance-friendly XD

Asus s551lb-cj120h and s550cb-cj120h.

And 500gb hdd + 24gb ssd VS 750gb hdd.

What is the function of hdd???

Or should I choose lenovo/dell.

1; budget 2.5k to 2.8k
2. 15.6inch
3. Ussage for internet/microsoft office/mv/song
4. Light weight cz carry to officr daily

The one with the SSD is alwats the better pick laugh.gif

HDD is the shortform for harddisk, the hardware in which you store your files.

The ones you mentioned are pretty good picks already nod.gif
Can consider this one as well if you would like a Lenovo:
15.6"
Lenovo Flex 15, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT720M + (1366x768; touch) + 8GB SSGD + 500GB HDD@RM2699, 4GB, W8

Hi,

I am helping my sister who plans to get a laptop. She's working as a teacher. Could you guys please help to recommend a laptop with the requirements below?

1. Preferred Brand: ASUS or Dell
2. Budget: Below RM3000 (prefers a laptop that can last for a few years without constant upgrade)
3. Usage:
a. Data entry (prefers a laptop with numeric keypad, or is it recommended to buy an external USB numeric keypad instead?)
b. Microsoft Office
c. Internet surfing, emails, Facebook
d. Photo editing software
e. Software for mathematics or data analysis (in case in future there's such software introduced)

4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15" (if getting an external USB numeric keypad is not recommended), else OK with 14".

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the recommendation, TJ  biggrin.gif

How about ASUS laptop? Any recommended ones?
I noticed that a lot of their "Everyday Computing" or A-series models are no longer featured under "Price List" section of the ASUS Product Guide (Sep - Oct 2013) but only available on ASUS website. Are those older models that are going to be obsolete soon?

For Asus, can consider this one:
15.6"
Asus S550CB-CJ102H i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB + (1366x768; touch)@RM2499[1.83kg], 4GB, W8

Well, larger capacity isn't always better. Its the reading speed that should be given priority.
If you need more space, external HDD are better alternatives haha laugh.gif

Hi, need opinions and/or reviews about this.

1. Preferred Brand : MSi
2. Budget : RM7,000 (RM8,000 max)
3. Usage : A-bit-lower-than-hardcore gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 15"

I actually want to buy MSi GT60-2OD with GeForce GTX780M as the GPU. But I just can't find it (at least online) in Malaysia. I have checked Illegear RS-15 with that GPU and it costs around RM7,500 in their website. Any opinion on this? How do you think playing games with a 15-incher? Will it overheat fast? Thanks beforehand. biggrin.gif
*
Wah, lower-than-hardcore-gaming also RM8k budget? laugh.gif
A 15 incher is the best balance in terms of performance and portability for a gamer who doesn't want a desktop nod.gif

And all dedicated gaming machines will have good cooling systems to support the powerful GPU inside nod.gif
You are right, I don't think we have any GTX780M-powered MSI here yet.
The Illegear RS-15 is thus one of the most viable picks for now~

15.6" http://www.illegear.com/
Illegear RS-15, i7-4700MQ + AMD 8970M + (1920x1080)@RM5799[3.1kg][Onkyo, SoundBlaster X-FI MB3], 8GB, 500GB(7200rpm), Multi-Color Programmable Backlit Keyboard, FreeDOS, [CPU Options: i5-4200M - i7-4930MX] [GPU Options: AMD 8970M, Nvidia GTX765M, Nvidia GTX770M, Nvidia GTX780M, Nvidia Quadro K1000M, Nvidia Quadro K3000M]

For a budget of around RM8k (RRP only, negotiable), you can get an RS-15 with:
- GX780M
- 120GB mSATA + 500GB (7200rpm)
- W7/W8
- 3 years warranty

Nego a bit with the friendly Illegear dealers to get more freebies/discounts brows.gif brows.gif

Yeah, the Lenovo Y400 (if you can still find it), is a very great choice, very powerful CPU and GPU, though not exactly necessary for your usage (CPU).

As for Dell, can consider these:
