i would suggest you to go out and experience those laptops 1st before you make any purchasing moves. experiencing it is better than going on for recommendations.

Hi, alot of sifus here recommended me this model:

Asus N550JV-CN077H, i7-4700HQ + Nvidia GT750M + (1920x1080; IPS matte)@RM3699[2.7kg], 4GB, 1TB, W8, backlit keyboard...

My question is if compared with this model

Asus N550JV-CM041H ,i7-4700HQ + Nvidia Gt750M 4GB + (1920x1080-TOUCH SCREEN)@RM4899 , 8GB , 1TB, W8 , backlit keyboard

Does the difference alot?

I spotted that the latest one have more powerfull GPU, touch screen and more RAM..as for the touch screen I dont really looking for touch screen laptop and RAM wise can upgrade ownself..So i need opinions on which model to get..Really in need help on this..TIA
*
let me list down some points for you :

1. Touch screen on a multimedia laptop is a trash.
2. You spent extra RM1200 for 8GB RAM and a touch screen.
3. The GPU is still the same, a 4GB DDR3, albeit being a 2GB GDDR5.

so say no to that price tag. smile.gif

I personally also think the touch screen is just a gimmick..btw,the Asus N550JV-CN077H 2GB GPU is DDR5? The seller told me is 2GB DDR3..is there alot diff between gpu ddr5 and ddr3 vram? sorry for the noob question sad.gif  Thanks
*
they differ in the bandwith/texel transfer size.
GDDR5 : more bandwith = more performance
DDR3 : less bandwith = need higher clocks to achieve the same performance as GDDR5

to conclude, 2GB GDDR5 >/= 4GB DDR3
normally, we can choose to omit the 'G' alphabet but for most cases, it is included.

the Inspiron 15 7000 is the new and latest model of 'Macbook like' Dell Inspiron family. using a whole aluminium body design, thats why the pricing is different.

May I ask, the i7 4500U is 2 cores 4 threaded, is it enough for office multitasking? Such as multiple browser tabs( alot ), multiple documents (PDF, office), listening to music while at it, and maybe in between picture viewing..

And how does it performed in light gaming?
*
it is enough for office multitasking. with the 8GB RAM equipped in the Dell 15R, you are good to go as office usage requires at least 2GB, 4GB for some multitasking and 8GB for intensive multitasking. 16GB is for rendering and Autocad purposes + multitasking.

the dual core i7 is enough for light gaming. most of your gaming workhorse is relied on the GPU, that is the HD8850M.

Please help me!

I'm going to buy the new Macbook Pro 13. I want to use it for my study, loads of Office, watching movies (I love the screen), and most of the time internet browsing. Basically, I do a lot of multitasking. I plan to use it for 3-5 years. Is it worth to buy the 256GB with 8GB of RAM or just get the 128GB with 4GB of RAM? Will it make huge difference in terms of performance over time?
*
it is recommended for you to go for 8GB and a larger storage cuz this is a 'one time purchase'. the new macbook pro 13's RAM is soldered to the board, so in the future, upgrades are not possible. even Apple SSDs are available genuinely by Apple, which the repair cost can be very costly if there are defects.

Exactly I think it's too thick, I wanted something thinner, but the dimension I really dont care for de width and depth, just the height
My notebook is an Asus K50IJ, it is old. And in January I will have the opportunity to buy a new one, so I think that if the notebook is approximately the same size, it is ok.
*
IMO, if you have a better deal than Clevo laptops, then it is okay for you to go with it. with the remaining budget, you can even invest on something better, like a laser mouse (approx USD50).

or, you can even look at the Gigabyte P35K.

PS, seems like you are living in the states, so 1 of my consideration is that you need to work more on your vocabulary. the rule of thumb living in the states, English 1st. icon_rolleyes.gif

not so intense as i have my desktop  for that.
just need to use it when im at college.
im thinking of getting a laptop without a gpu so that i can save on the cost and upgrade the ram to 8gb and add a ssd.
and dos also would be fine as my college have msdn which i can get w8 for free for the period of my study.

i suggested a free DOS lenovo with haswell processor. maybe you will like it.
i can suggest along another but it comes with i3. not as strong as i5 but cheaper, more room for SSD and 8GB RAM.

I am in doubt between:
Samsung Ativ book 8 - thin, less powerful, cheaper
Msi GS70 - thin, powerful, more expensive, big screen(I prefer 15,6)
Gigabyte P35K - thin, powerful, a little bit expensive, but I dont know about this brand...

CNET is another one of my favourites.

Gigabyte also makes GPUs, Mobos, accessories and etc. they are just new into the laptop market.
