Actually I am a IT newbie lol~~  do you mean that AMD's CPU performance is slightly slower than Intel's CPU or slower by a decent amount?
Or do you mean the durability of AMD's CPU is shorter than Intel's CPU?
If it is slightly slower maybe i can tolerate with that  blink.gif  blink.gif

Oh, was referring to CPU performance... and its not only slightly laugh.gif

Hi, thanks for the recommendations. That is quite a long list I must say.

To be frank I have been a Sony vaio user for the past 12 years, and I may be biased towards Sony but I am keeping my option opened.

How about the SVF13N17PGB? What is your take on this?
*
The Vaio Fit 13 is a pretty great choice nod.gif
Decent specs though a bit on the expensive, which is normal for a Sony
Here's a review: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/10/rev...-thousand-cuts/

There were concerns on whether the hinge can last or not nod.gif

Dear fellow Sifus,

Wanted to buy a laptop after using a Toshiba for 6 years spoiled,

1. Preferred Brand - Lenovo, Toshiba, Asus
2. Budget - about 2k
3. Usage - surfing internet, mostly downloading & watch HD movie, music, Microsoft office & project, very minor to no gaming. ( Hopefully multi-tasking without lack)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14" and above. (personally like larger screen)

Thank you in advance!

What I dont like Y410P is the screen... the color seen dull compare to Dell...
And only highest brightness level is acceptable. sweat.gif

i worry Y510P will having same issue as 410P

p/s : This new laptop will replace my current for editing photo.
Major usage
- Photoshop CS6
- Adope Premier Pro - Video editing


Any good suggest for above usage?

For editing work, its better to get a notebook with a better screen yo hmm.gif
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 nod.gif

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...
*
If you are into heavy usage (gaming, 3D etc.), its best to sacrifice in terms of weight nod.gif
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..  sweat.gif 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  biggrin.gif
*
If you don't mind getting a 17" notebook then yes, the MSI GE70 is a good pick nod.gif
Larger notebooks tend to be cooler than smaller ones too, so its an advantage, as long as you are okay with the size nod.gif
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 laugh.gif Cannot quote haha
Do refer to the pricelist on the main page of lowyat.net icon_rolleyes.gif

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.
*
Unfortunately the sifus here don't have the privilege of trying out each and every model out there laugh.gif
In short, we know as little as you do haha, have to research as well nod.gif
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 icon_rolleyes.gif

*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 icon_rolleyes.gif

I'm back, but this time is with a twist. My budget is not fixed anymore, it's the lower the price the better.

1. Preferred Brand: Any brand that is reliable and have good customer service/after sales support/warranty. This is very important!
2. Budget: Lower the better.
3. Usage: Student usage, word processing, presentation, watching videos, skype, internet browsing
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14"
5. Other requirements: Again, I need it to be reliable and lasting. Need to test before using mainly the keyboard and touchpad to see if it feels right. Also I need a Windows based laptop.

Are laptops with i3-3217U any good ?  hmm.gif IGP will do since not gaming, I've a desktop for that anyway  laugh.gif

Hi guys, so i'm thorn between getting a 14" or 15.6" laptop. If i am getting a 14", i will buy an extra monitor to be used at home. worth it?

1. any but mac, having international warranty helps too
2. 4k or so
3. Heavy gaming occasionally, coding

If you are going to bring your notebook around alot, then definitely a 14 incher. But do take note that you are going to have to compensate in terms of performance nod.gif

If performance is your main priority, then 15" notebooks are better, can consider these:
15.6"
