For editing work, its better to get a notebook with a better screen yo
Depending on your budget, you can opt for Dell Inspiron 15 7000, XPS 15, Precision M3800; Illegear notebook with screen upgrade; HP ZBook all the way up to MacBookPro 15 Retina Display

Dell precision m3800 starts RM6888 (rrp)

how about 13" Retina MacBook Pro?

MacBookPro 13" (Retina Display), i5-4288U + Intel Iris 5100 + 512GB SSD + (2560x1600)@RM5899[1.57kg], 8GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX

can configure the processor (to core i7), ram (to 16gb) or ssd (to 1TB SSD) to fullfil your budget...

Hello there, I am looking for advice of a laptop

with budget around RM4000

Less than or around 2KG

15.6 Inches

have a nice graphic card

1080P


Thanks in advance , really appreciated if someone helped me out

Hi guys,

Sorry to bother again...

After going through the huge list of bad experiences with Asus SC, decided against Asus. (Even though I am quite interested in the new N550jk...)

And also illegear takes too long for me to get one...

May I know is v7-582pg-74501225 from Acer recommended?

How is the after sales support of Acer( currently situated in JB)?

As a refresh:

1) no Mac, dell or hp (gen 4 Intel only)
2) <4k
3) 15.6" screen preferably 1920x1080 ips
4) good sound system
5)ssd
6) will be used for gaming, music, movies, and possibility of 3d engineering software...

Thanks and sorry for the trouble...

These perhaps?
Acer
15.6"
V7-582PG-74508G52k, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD + (1920x1080 IPS; touch)@RM3399[2.2kg], 8GB, W8
V7-582PG-74501225k, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M + 256GB SSD + (1920x1080 IPS; touch)@RM3999[2.2kg], 12GB, W8.1

15 inchers lower than 2kg are rare

If you are into heavy usage (gaming, 3D etc.), its best to sacrifice in terms of weight
Light and slim notebooks are not good in heat dissipation = hot, and hot notebooks won't last long

I would recommend this one instead (Not IPS; but not too heavy and bulky):
15"
Dell Inspiron 15 7000, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) + (1920x1080; Touch)@RM3599[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8SL, backlit keyboard, 58Whr

Again, look for bro Oscar here to get a better deal. He has ready stock imho: https://www.facebook.com/pages/DellAlienwar...1751731?fref=ts

Some of the new MSI systems are quite good also, but they will need some time to arrive

Hi, its me again.. Need advice for choosing a laptop
For budget around 4k, i will use the laptop mainly for

1) heavy gaming
2) movies(full hd)
3) animation, graphic design(adobe) and video production
4) screen size preferably 15.6 or larger than 15.6

Would you suggest me to get the GE70-2PE-095MY? or is there any recommendation? Because i heard that cooling is not so good for GE series
And can you please advice a bang for buck 128gb ssd for GE70-2PE and give me the quotation? Thanks in advance

If you don't mind getting a 17" notebook then yes, the MSI GE70 is a good pick
Larger notebooks tend to be cooler than smaller ones too, so its an advantage, as long as you are okay with the size
But do take note that these new MSI lineups might take some time to come. And I think with its large profile, there should be enough space for you to throw in the SSD without having to remove the original HDD (Better double-check; otherwise can consider getting an MSATA SSD).

I'm not a seller Cannot quote haha
Do refer to the pricelist on the main page of lowyat.net

Hmm, then can give you give me a suggestion for the msata ssd? or this is the wrong section for asking that

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion.

Is the hdd upgradable?
Just found out that the Acer model isn't, can't change the hdd to ssd... I wanted the laptop to have a ssd instead of hdd.

Is the screen matte or glossy? FHD? I think I am ok to sacrifice ips screen as long as the screen looks good.

How is the sound system?

Sorry if I am asking abit too much. Kinda noob to all this.
Had to do my research from scratch.

It crossed my mind before but i m more of a pc user rather than a mac supporter. I know i can always install office in it but to me it defeats the whole mac user experience.....

you get best of both world anyway (OS X & bootcamp Windows) ... just a suggestion based on your usage...

I also looking for this.
Currently consider this or Y510P

let me answer you

1.HDD unable upgrade except you change to new one.
2. Unable add SSD, except u remove primary HDD to SSD (lack or space)
3. Screen type, i still checking with Dell.
4. Full HD - Yes (not IPS IINM)
5. Sound - refer back Dell web information

hope this help.
Y510P able upgrade SSD by two option.
1. Add caddy drive and primary HDD to DVD drive
2. Add NGFF M2 SSD ( currently lack of this type in Msia) --> Google MydigitialSSD NGFF

Thanks Thanks, how about model with 15.6 inch or 17 inch screen and larger HDD? 500GB seem a bit low.Sorry for asking boob questiob that if I dun play games is the graphic card matters? Even for movie watching alone. THANKYOU VERY MUCH!

Just choose whichever that fits your budget
They are all good ~

Unfortunately the sifus here don't have the privilege of trying out each and every model out there
In short, we know as little as you do haha, have to research as well
Read review here (spec may differ): http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-I...k.104976.0.html
Yes the HDD should be upgradable. Speakers were reported to be pretty decent.
Screen is FullHD glossy, don't think our variant is IPS panel, have to check on that. But according to bro Oscar (MBP15 RD user), the screen is excellent

Got check with bro Oscar?
Definitely will save you a hell lot of trouble since he is familiar with Dell/Alienware upgrades

You don't need a dedicated GPU if you don't game or run 3D softwares
But mots 15 inchers come with a dGPU anyway
15"
Dell

Lenovo
Z500, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2299[2.2kg], 4GB, 1TB, backlit, W8; 2 years warranty

MSI
CX61-2PC, i5-4200M + Nvidia 820M@RM2199, 4GB, 750GB, anti-glare, W8.1

Satellite L50-A100X/XW, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[Onkyo], 4GB, 750GB, W8SL; 3 years local warranty; colors:silver/white


*Prices in RRP
Do take note that the performance of these machines will not be as snappy as the Flex 14 recommended earlier.
Personally I think the Toshiba L50 is a great choice because of its 3 years warranty standard. Of course, you could also upgrade to 3 years on-site for the Dell too

wtb a laptop , help sifus,

budget: < rm4K

purpose: work (VM hyper V ) + gaming to the max

+must be lighter also ( weight less)

thxthxthx
