QUOTE(nexus2238 @ Sep 29 2013, 09:04 PM) For any laptop (be it ultrabook or not), leaving it on 24 hours is not the determining factor thx for your suggestion and advice~ watching movie is consider as doing intense rendering? It's what kind of workload it is on that matter. 24 hours idle, 24 hours bit-torrent (only stress HDD), 24 hours doing intense rendering (stretch CPU), generate vastly different amount of heat.ultrabook, being thin, has less space to dissipate heat. Generally, it is a good idea to get external cooling solution (eg. cooling pad, table fan ... ) if you game or doing anything that going to stretch CPU or GPU. Asus K46CB-WX060H, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[2kg], 2GB, 750GB, W8, 4-cell, OD Dell Vostro 5470, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2249, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8, 3-cell Prices are RSP, negotiable. Use the remaining of your budget to increase RAM (4G stick ~ RM100, 8G stick ~ RM200 (Asus). The 5470 only has 1 RAM slot, so you can only swap out the 4G with a 8G stick), extend warranty (Dell, to 3 years ~ RM300), get SSD (128G ~ RM300, 256G ~ RM600) to replace the HDD (keep as external HDD). |

QUOTE(xproc @ Oct 4 2013, 09:05 AM) go to those shop with good reputation... not those 'chap ba lang' shop... Ok....I get it.....thanks for your advice. ...anyway what i think may more concern is not original or not... is that the price you get is the true value or not... if you are price sensitive like most of the forumer here... survey the based price at here before you go buy... some of the shop they mark up the laptop quite high.... seen a lot of cases where laptop worth RM1000 but they selling it for RM1499 (50% mark up??)... then good luck for them... |
