hi, Pandera

as shopper told z400 3230M no more ? true ?

and told it replaced by below , any idea how it perform ?

Intel core i5-3337U/ 4G DDR3 500GB HDD/ W8 ATI Radeon HD7450M 1GB 14 HD multi Touch Screen
Rm2099

thx

If your main concern is gaming performance, then go with Y410P.
If you like good warranty support, then take the Inspiron 14R and use the remaining of your budget to extend warranty to 3 years ( ~ RM300).

For your budget, the best GPU you can get is GT740M.
Other than the HP you found, can also look at the following:

Dell
Inspiron 14R, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM1849 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Linux, 6 cell; W8@RM2049

HP
Pavilion 14-N059TX, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM1999[2.03kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8

And that's about it.
Prices are RSP, negotiable.

1. Preferred Brand- Any
2. Budget- The cheapest that reach the requirement
3. Usage- daily task
4. Preferred laptop/screen size- any
5. Requirement- minimum i5 4th, SSD, light and long battery if possible, no nid graphci card

thanks 4 ur recommendation

hey guys.. i need some help here in choosing one of these two laptops..mainly for gaming and watching movies..

first,
- Asus S550CB-CJ103H VivoBook 15.6"
- Intel® Core™ i7-3537U-2.0GHz
- 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB SATA HDD + 24GB SSD
- Nvidia® GeForce® GT740M
- Windows 8 64 bit

second is,
- Dell Inspiron 15R 5537-4500 15.6" Laptop/ Notebook
- Intel® Core™ i7-4500U-1.8GHz
- 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB SATA HDD
- AMD Radeon™ HD 8850M
- Windows 8 64-bit

for the dell laptop, would it be alright without integrated graphic to play some good graphic games?
is it an optional to choose whether it would have the touch screen or not? if it is, how much do i have to pay for that?

which of these has better audio performance? and what is the drawback of having non genuine windows 8?

i'm thinking of dell laptop because i could save some from it. but i still need opinion in this.

thanks, in advance

1. Preferred Brand - any except acer
2. Budget - below 2.5k
3. Usage - gaming (fifa, dota2) + working (autocad, engineering software)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - bigger is better

TQ

1. Preferred Brand:VAIO or any other brands except ACER
2. Budget:<Rm3000
3. Usage:Preparing for my future Architecture Degree
4. Preferred laptop/screen size:13,14,15inch

I don't know what is the price of Vaio Pro 13 , I wish you would tell me as well.

Thank you for your precious time for helping me.

RSP for Vaio Pro 13:
Vaio SVP13218PGB, i7-4500U + Intel HD4400 + 256GB SSD + (1920x1080)@RM4999[1.06kg], 4GB, W8SL, stylus

So it's out of your budget. In fact most 13" models are out of your budget

Do you mean you are starting your degree in Architecture?
You will use software to do 3D modelling, which mean you should look for laptop models with discrete GPU.

Since you mentioned Viao Pro 13, I supposed you prefer something lighter? Then forget about 15" (mostly > 2kg).
Look for something like these instead:

Acer
V5-473PG-54204G50, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M +(1366x768;touch)@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB,W8 *no OD

You need as powerful a CPU as you can afford, and reasonable mid range mobile GPU.

S550CB - more responsive due to the mSATA 24GB SSD caching.
15R - longer battery run time due to 4th (Haswell) gen CPU and larger battery (6 cells).
Gaming performance - GT740M and HD8850M is about on par, performance vary depending on game titles.

"for the dell laptop, would it be alright without integrated graphic to play some good graphic games?" - don't understand this question. The 15R has discrete GPU. All Intel CPU has integrated graphic (IGPU).

don't bother with touchscreen on 15" conventional laptop form factor.

Audio - both are pretty ok for laptop (laptop audio sucks anyway ). You will get better sound from cheap (~ RM100) external desktop speakers.

"drawback of having non genuine windows 8" - ???
If you mean the Linux spec, that mean you need to get and install OS yourself.
As for captain jack w8, not appropriate to discuss on LYN

Apple
MacBookAir 11", i5-4250U + Intel HD5000 + 128GB SSD@RM2999[1.08kg], 4GB, backlit keyboard, Mac OSX

1. Preferred Brand : Any
2. Budget : Max 2.8k
3. Usage : Solidworks, Matlab [Engineering software], Image Editing [PS, Lightroom]. AE video rendering
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: Any
5. Requirement : Multi-tasking capable and not so hot when on heavy load.

You need i7 quad core. More RAM is better (8GB at least) (also help your multi-tasking). 4GB RAM stick ~ RM100, 8GB ~ RM200. Also need discrete GPU.
For your budget, you can't get laptop that come with really good ventilation design So learn to make do with external cooling solution, e.g. cooling pad, table fan, ... (and it will get hot when you do rendering )
