QUOTE(raymondtong94 @ Dec 8 2013, 05:20 PM) i think need to thanks to the massive screen resolution? Yalo  or maybe battery capacity not large enough.  I could use with a cheaper variant with ULV i5 and HD resolution haha Tried using FullHD on an XPS13, in the end cannot tahan, everything is too small and I kept on clicking the wrong things haha  Getting old liao T___T |

QUOTE(hmseen @ Dec 9 2013, 04:36 PM) Hi Gurus Can consider this one Need some recommendation for notebooks/laptops 1. Preferred Brand: Anything but Apple. Anything means reliable in terms of Support & Service as well as product. 2. Budget: 3k 3. Usage: Business with lots of application testing and productivity tools running - I need CPU speed. 4. Preferred laptop/screen size: min 14" Thanks y'all  14" Dell Inspiron 14 7000, i5-4200U + Intel HD4400 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2699[2.02kg], 6GB(soldered), , W8SL, backlit keyboard, 58Whr, No ODD *price in RRP, negotiable *the mSATA SSD will give you a much smoother computing experience than just having a lot of CPU performance *use remaining budget for warranty extension to 3 years |

QUOTE(soulmiyuki @ Dec 11 2013, 08:08 PM) Thanks a lot Sifu! Smaller gaming notebooks are not that good usually because of the small screen, crampier keyboard and also poorer cooling system- a compromise you have to make for the extra portability this lappy strictly for work only. Mind to recommend me another one for gaming? 13 inch or below too small for gaming? Brand: any Budget: around 5k Usage: Gaming + carry around Screen size: wanted a small one <13" but not sure is it hard for gaming Can consider these: 13" Configure Illegear units here: http://www.illegear.com/ 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] 14" MSI GE40-2OC, i7-4702MQ + Nvidia GTX760M + (1600x900; anti-glare)@RM3499[1.8kg], 4GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8 *Prices in RRP, negotiable *Only recommending slim and light models ya |

QUOTE(Prothero @ Dec 12 2013, 06:35 PM) Hey guys, I've posted my query on the first page. I think all these 3 notebooks are pretty similar in terms of performance, warranty, price etc. These are the three models I've narrowed down to: Asus N550JV-CN077H Lenovo Y510p MSI GE60-2OC Among these 3, I haven't found a review for the Asus. But after reviewing Lenovo and MSI, I'm keen into the Lenovo laptop. But are the specs different based on different sellers? Because the one I saw in the review is kinda different from what [PF] T.J. posted in the first page. In your sifu's opinion, which is the best among those 3? I'll put in detail my requirements and usage: 1. I'm a kind of person that rarely shuts down the laptop, most probably in sleep mode. 2. I also want a laptop that produce less heat. 3. Would like a laptop which has the best graphic capability, and international warranty (as I'll be using it in Australia). 4. Mostly gaming in World of Warcraft and Dota2. 5. Budget of RM3.5k +- 6. The bigger screen, the better. You can add other suggestion of laptop other than the three that I've posted. Thanks! Cooling is only average I suppose, its down to which one you like the most, go and check out the real thing, see which one appeals to you most |
