QUOTE(mudkipryan94 @ Nov 8 2013, 12:01 PM) trololol... i know it is true that Gigabyte started laptop business in 2009 but my taste is that one company that does not start a laptop business more than 5 years is still considered new. Gigabyte made lappy since at 2009 already la    not necessary have to follow my taste though. |

QUOTE(nexus2238 @ Nov 9 2013, 12:57 AM) What do you mean "for mom so it doesnt matter"? At least tell us what you mom is going to use it for i think TS meant that just simply buy a laptop for her is enough, dont care what are her usage though. anyway, im still on your side that, usage need to have more details. |

QUOTE(nexus2238 @ Nov 9 2013, 09:58 AM) 40-50 fps. was about to say that. anyway, min fps for the GT750M DDR3 on battefield 4 is 37.i think this is because battlefield 4 is a well optimized game. a Y510P SLI barely hits lower than 40FPS under native resolution (full HD) with high settings. |

Not suppose to be this processor 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4700MQ Processor (3.40 GHz 400 MHz 6 MB)? the best i7 ULV you can get at the moment is i7-4500U. there is no such processor, i7-4702U in Haswell lineup. so it is confirmed either i7-4702HQ/MQ to add, i7-4702MQ/HQ is an undervolted version of i7-4700MQ/HQ |

QUOTE(mutt @ Nov 10 2013, 08:02 PM) Hi i dont really suggest your wife to get a touchscreen laptop. constant poking the screen across the desk is really tiring and may loosen the hinge, unless you are getting a convertible/hybrid laptop. frankly, touchscreen is just a marketing gimmick. anyway, i will suggest along 14 inch laptops as well, as there are more lightweight options on 14" with that pricing.My wife wanted a new laptop for his work. Need some recommendations from u guys 1. no acer, asus, msi and other unknown brands 2. RM2500 3. surfing, typing, online conferencing (gotomeeting) 4.

QUOTE(mutt @ Nov 10 2013, 11:32 PM) thanks for the reply. yeah I have been thinking of buying hybrid laptop. been searching and found Lenovo Yoga 11s will suit my wife's need. what do you think? do u have any other models in mind? Here's the yoga 11 specs that I'm interested in Windows 8 Intel® Core™ i3-3229Y (1.4GHz, 3MB L3 cache) 11.6" HD LED Multi-Touch 128GB SSD Integrated Graphics 4GB (1x4096) DDR3 SDRAM 1.3kg QUOTE(mutt @ Nov 10 2013, 11:34 PM) btw do u think 4th gen intel makes big difference in performance and battery life compare to 3rd gen? it really does makes a large difference in battery life and graphics performance.but for 3rd Gen ULV processors, they are quite battery saving too but not as much as haswell.

QUOTE(coolboy @ Nov 11 2013, 01:38 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 1st - Acer V7 - IPS technology 2nd - Dell Inspiron 15 7000 - Dell's Truelife technology, good viewing angle and colour quality 3rd - Lenovo Y510P - Average colour quality 4th - MSI GE60 - Below a little average colour quality, colours a little inaccurate and washed out. i saw this model in Dell's Store at LYP. so far, very nice speakers and screen colours, very solid hinge and beautiful macbook replica. i can confirm it is a full HD screen, as the model i tested comes with full HD. just make sure the price tag is RM3599 as this the only best spec that Dell Malaysia can offer. if you find the red keyboard on the Y510P is irritating, you can turn it off. backlit keyboards are designed to be able to turn on and off. as for MSI, i dont really recommend you to get it due to its screen's colour quality which is below average. FYI, the difference between i7-4700MQ and i7-4500U is the MQ is a quad core high performance processor and the U is an ultra-low voltage dual processor. the U is weaker than the MQ a lot but saves battery life more than the MQ. all the laptops you listed do come with Optimus but Optimus dont really help much IMO. they only save about 20% of the tested battery life on usages. |

QUOTE(briantwj @ Nov 11 2013, 09:20 AM) Meaning that Z510 i7 variant will mostly be i7-4702HQ/MQ... with HQ and MQ prefix it means at it is quad core right? Just maybe lower Ghz since it is undervolted. Am I right? Currently eyeing on Asus S551LB and Lenovo Z510. Design wise quiet similar. But Z510's variant of i7 is cheaper than S551LB's. yes, with the prefix it could be either one of the quad core varieties.but FYI, the S551LB comes with i7-4500U, extra 24GB mSATA and a touch screen. this laptop is more weaker than the Z510. |

QUOTE(D-Frog @ Nov 12 2013, 08:38 PM) Preferred brand :none what about a smaller one?Budget : 4.9k Usage: gaming. Requirement : if possible , slim and light weight like msi gs70. But if you have other recommendation but with better spec , do tell me Illegear RE-13 Pro, i5-4200M + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080 IPS)@RM3999[2kg][Onkyo, SoundBlaster Cinema], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), Backlit Keyboard, FreeDOS, [CPU Options: i5-4200M - i7-4900MQ] not so many gaming laptops are as thin as GS70. the other alternative to GS70 is the Gigabyte P35K but this model is rare in Malaysia, very hard to get it unless buy through foreign countries like XoticPC, GenTech PC. |
