Thank you so much! This is a great choice for me. I really appreciate your inputs, especially in regards to use the remaining budget to upgrade RAM and SSD. I was thinking of doing so but figured I'd do it later since I don't really have the budget to do both upgrade at the moment.

But under your suggestion, I might just be able to do both right away! So, thank you very much for your help

Hi, just heard that the Asus N550JK just launched with GTX 850m. Is the GPU RAM DDR3 or GDDR5?

Alright thanks for the suggestion...

u should be l33t

Most welcomed guys
Good hunting yo

Can someone tell me if the gtx 850m in the asus N550jk uses DDR3 ram or GDDR5 Ram?

Hi, need some recommendation on the upcoming 800 series

1. Preferred Brand - MSI, Asus
2. Budget - max 5.2k
3. Usage - alot of gaming [bf4, ffxiv, sc2, LoL]
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15.6 or 17

Im planning on getting the toshiba qosmio x75 earlier but after the announcement of the 800 series feel like switching over to the msi series, is there any model that i can get before april and has the similliar spec as the toshiba's but on 800 series? i can go with a lower ssd capacity and with or without blu-ray (if got is a plus)

Thanks

Not exactly very slim, but these are pretty powerful + you get very good warranty service if opted
14"
Dell
Inspiron 14R, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M + (1366x768, Touch) @RM2299 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W8 , 6 cell
Inspiron 14R, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) @RM2499[2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), Ubuntu 12.04 , 6 cell; W8SL@RM2699
*use remaining budget to get an SSD 256GB if possible

If you don't mind the weak WiFi and shorter battery life, can consider Dell Vostro 5470 as well

*prices in RRP
*extend warranty to 3 years on-site (highly recommended if warranty support is important to you)

Thanks for the suggestion. It is very much appreciated.

So far only MSI has released their next-gen lineups with Nvidia 800 series GPU.. even so, it will take some time for stocks to arrive..
Not sure about Asus

15.6"
MSI
GE60-2PE-096MY, i7-4700HQ + Nvidia GTX860M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) @RM4199[Dynaudio], 8GB, 1TB (7200rpm) HDD, W8.1, multi-coloured backlid

17.3"
MSI
GE70-2PE-095MY, i7-4700HQ + Nvidia GTX860M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) @RM4299[Dynaudio], 8GB, 1TB (7200rpm) HDD, W8.1, multi-coloured backlid



*Prices in RRP
Unfortunately those with GTX870M exceeded your budget
Use remainingb budget to opt for an SSD and RAM upgrade

**I would suggest you wait for other brands to offer their lineups of notebooks with the new GPU so that you will have more options, and that the prices will not be so expensive (new stuffs will always be more expensive)

Can anyone give me a laptop that has GTX 850M? Want 15.6 inch and budget is RM3.5K

Hi there, thanks for the swift reply well sadly i would wait if i could >< flying off oversea on early april so , hmm is it a huge difference between the gtx860m and gtx770m? if not i'll probably grab 1 of the above and throw in the ssd and ram upgrades

I totally have no idea about these. Why not you try to bug ASUS malaysia for more details? Not to mention, that gpu is just announced recently and only known manufacturer to feature GT8xx is MSI.

Definitely must buy in Malaysia?
Is the warranty valid over where you are heading to? These are some of the things to check if you are buying and flying overseas mate!

As for GTX860M vs GTX770M Since you have to buy in a hurry, no point letting you know haha, later you heartpain

Only one person would know about these yet-to-released stuffs
And its our God_leewhat2004 sifu haha, he's probably still stalking here and there

as per spec sheet that we have , it is 4GB DDR3.

My friend told me to grab them in Malaysia since its very expensive in land of the rising sun according to what ive checked on the net, its super expensive
buying there lol, tell me the difference ler xD if performance wise not much diff i might opt for the MSI since they offer newer series else mayb i go back to
the toshiba ones, for the gtx870 series the cost shoots up to 6k?

Thanks for the recommendation. I have been looking at 14R for some time. It has a great spec with cheap price, but it is quite bulky...I prefer to have some design like 5470, but of course better wifi and battery life. Is there any other alternative?Thank you.

But there is an option for 2 GB. Is that GDDR5?
