Between Z510, asus s56cb, and acer m3...which one is better?

Lenovo Z510 for the win if you want higher performance, ASUS S56 if you want battery life.

can z510 upgrade to mSata?

double post..

Any else recommendation for good gaming, cheap and light weight?

no mSATA nor M.2 in Z510

or you may look at this :

Dell
Vostro 5470, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2249, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8, 3-cell

weighs only 1.62kg, processor maybe a little weaker but sufficient for med gaming.

Hi guys,

Wanted to find laptop with haswell processor, touchscreen, FHD 13"-14" screen.

Most importantly have to be available in Malaysia.

So far I only see Sony Vaio pro 13. Is there any other option ?

this is winner of the year :

Lenovo
Yoga 2 Pro, i7-4500U + Intel HD4400 + 256GB SSD + (3200x1800 IPS; touch)@RM4199[1.39kg], 8GB, W8.1, 2 yrs

other options :

Dell
XPS13, i5-4200U + Intel HD4400 + 128GB SSD + (1920x1080; Touch)@RM3999[1.37kg], 8GB, W8.1, backlit, 55Whr

ASUS
UX301LA-DE017H, i5-4200U + Intel HD4400 + 128GB SSD + (2560x1440; touch)@TBA[1.4kg], 4GB, W8.1 (might get to see it this weekend, at PC fair)

1. Preferred Brand : Any
2. Budget : 5k
3. Usage : Entertainment, primary for movies, mild gaming, heavy internet (lot of tab). The laptop will be on 24 hours torrenting, so i guess laptop with good cooling? i dn know
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 15" 1920x1080

I have consider these model
ASUS N550JV
LENOVO Y510P then found this
Inspiron 15R, i7-4500U + AMD HD8850M (GDDR5) + (1366x768, Touch)@RM2699[2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8.1L. It is really value for money man. If only it FHD

How about this one?
15.6"
Dell Inspiron 15 7000, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) + (1920x1080; Touch)@RM3599[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8SL, backlit keyboard, 58Whr

The GPU is not very high-end, but since you don't game, its not really a problem~

Or if you prefer more performance, then an illegear RE-15 will do justice~

prices are RRP and negotiable.

Thank you for your suggestion. XPS 13 kinda expensive compare to other, even to Vaio @rm3699

Yoga 2 Pro seem like the best deal. Is it available now in Malaysia?

UX301 is probably the sexiest ultrabook ever. However the price might be more/close to RM5k.(Amazon price 1.8k USD)

I plan to get the laptop by the end of December. Hopefully yoga 2 and ux301 will be available by that time. More choice to choose.

Both good cooling laptop? Btw, Illegear is really new to me. Any1 xperience?

Yoga 2 Pro is currently available. you might want to check with local resellers.

devour

1. Preferred Brand: Asus k551, lenovo y410p, Acer v5

In term of spec they are similiar, however need you guys recommendation on hand on experience, weight and long term performance, after sale service.

Both should have decent temps
Do check out this thread for more feedbacks on illegear: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2613184
So far their warranty support is very good

1. No acer
2. Light weight (below 2kg with battery), longer battery life, good cooling system
3. Minimum i5 haswell + GT 740, spec higher are welcome as well
4. Budget- Below 3k

Dell
Vostro 5470, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2249, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8, 3-cell

HP
Pavilion 14-N059TX, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099[2.03kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8; colors: silver/black

ASUS
K451LB-WX071H, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199, 4GB, 750GB, W8

but one thing you might need to concern, thin and lightweight laptops generally traps more heat than conventional laptops, so a good cooling system is out of your requirement if you are planning to choose a laptop which weighs less than 2kg.

Hi guys,

I need a laptop for a basic user like me. No gaming, just surf net and email checking.

Brand : Any

Budget : rm 1300

Please recommend. Thanks!
