how about lenovo s410p?? isn't z410 available in msia?

The graphic card in the S410p is not as good as the ones recommended by nexus sifu
Nope, don't think we have the Z410 here

Older generations runs on Nvidia GT750M graphic card (the notebook should be RM2999 or lower). The most recent one runs on Nvidia GT755M

Now thinking lenovo , dell inspiron 14r i7 and acer recomended by nexus sifu!

What is ur opinion dai lou? Can't decide

Hi thank's for your recommendations. What if do not require fullHD anymore. Any other suggestion? TQ

a smaller, lighter and numpad excluded version of Y510P :

THX n CHEERS

hi,
current;y im looking for new laptop for my wife, currently she is using hp 10" netnook, problematic adapter & batery, so for new one, she prefer bigger one, not more than 14"

so far this is what i had done so far
1. Preferred Brand : lenovo in my mind / or any reliable brand
2. Budget : below rm1500
3. Usage : teacher usage. sometime me also use to download movie, watch HD movie
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 12" - 14". couldnt find any 13" within my budget.

thanks in advance.

For the Dell Inspiron 14R, warranty support is of top priority to me (otherwise no point getting Dell ), so I'd opt for the i5 variant suggested by nexus sifu instead, use remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years and upgrading the RAM Upgrade further to SSD after 1 year or 2 when the HDD slows down significantly

Same goes to the Lenovo Z400 touch

The Dell is better in terms of after sales service whereas the Lenovo has a better CPU

What other gaming laptops are recommended besides the Alienware 14? It's about RM4599.

Apple is better, since you could always bootcamp to get the best of both worlds + Apple is more efficient when it comes to Photo and video editing
But make sure you have lots of RAM and space (and money in your pocket)!

However, if you are not interested in using Mac OSX, then the XPS15 will suffice. Just swap the hybrid HDD with a 512GB SSD and you will still be spending less than on the Apple units aforementioned

Regardless of what you choose in the end, do make sure you extend warranty to 3 years.. machines like this will cost a bomb when they break down

For a 13" notebook:
Lenovo S300, 1007U + Intel HD @RM899[1.8kg], 2GB,500GB(5400rpm), freeDOS; W8@RM1099

*up to at least 4GB RAM, and if you are feeling adventurous, throw in a 128GB SSD

Otherwise, can consider these:
14"
Acer E1-432G-29552G50k, Intel 2955U + Nvidia GT720M@RM1399, 2GB, 500GB, W8

Dell Inspiron 14-3421, 1007U + Intel HD@RM999[1.99kg], Linux, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell; W8SL@RM1099
*use remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years + up to at least 4GB RAM

Lenovo
S400T, B987 + Intel HD4000 + (1366x768, touch)@RM1499[1.8kg], 4GB, 500GB, W8
G400s, i3-3110M + Intel HD4000@RM1349, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS; W8@RM1499

Toshiba Satellite C40-A103E, Pentium 2020M + Intel HD4000@RM1449, 2GB, 500GB, W8SL; 2 years local warranty; color: black

*Prices in RRP, negotiable

how poor is ur poor... if you said in terms of performance maybe you are correct...

i5-4200U is optimised for long battery performance... used in many ultrabooks....

U and M definitely different category la..

1. Preferred Brand
Any brand

2. Budget
Not more than 3300

3. Usage
Programming works, light and easier for me to carry for meeting
Must have 8gb ram

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
Smaller than 14'

Now I shortlisted Lenovo yoga 11s haswell version, any other model out there?

Thanks

512GB SSD = cost a bomb also la... lol....

anyway i would like to point out Intel Iris Pro 5200 is just 15% lower performance than nvidia 750m

All sifus,

Am looking to buy a laptop/ultra book

Budget is less than rm3k
No preferred brand yet, as still scouting for the best deal, as long as good spec with good price any brand. No apple plz
Usage wise work purposes and light gaming.

Size could be 14 or 15.4 either one not too small =).

Must have ssd hahaha I am used to having ssd on my desktop so this is a must have for my laptop too.

Thank you all sifus hope to hear your honest opinion

The current ULV processors are not "poor" in performance man
If you've read what the inquirer wanted, you will know that the i5-4200U is capable of what his asking for

Still not enough to surpass the price of the Rm8.5k Apple MBP 15 RD

Unfortunately most notebooks at this price range doesn't come together with SSD and a decent GPU
You will have to install the SSD separately (can ask for sellers to help )
