hi sifus, i'm looking for laptop with portability and idk.. decent battery..? previously used Asus U41JF for 3 years no problems at all, then i tertolak jatuh bed-height meja, lands horizontally very badly and motherboard prob a little, send to repair sooooo bad service from problem at screen only terus kiok, so sad cause i really loved it, esp the metalic look and slimness  cry.gif

1. Preferred Brand - Asus / Lenovo / (Acer/Dell?)
2. Budget - 2.5k
3. Usage - can quite easily bring about, multimedia, medium gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14", i5 is enough for me i guess, not so thick, decent battery life smile.gif

i've looked, Asus K46CB, Y410P or S410P and Acer V5-473PG or Dell Vostro 5470 seems fine.. opinions, sifus? thanks in advance smile.gif

add these into the consideration list :

ASUS
K451LB-WX071H, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199, 4GB, 750GB, W8

HP
Pavilion 14-N059TX, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099[2.03kg], 4GB, 750GB, W8; colors: silver/black

Lenovo
Z400 touch, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M + (1366x768, touch)@RM2199, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty

best if you could choose Lenovo Y410P, as it has the best performance and approx light weight laptop you can get out there.

Dell

ASUS

i think a laptop that weighs around 2.3kg is okay for you. the lightest laptop recommended by me is the Dell Vostro 5470, with weight of 1.62kg. prices are RRP and negotiable.

1. Preferred Brand - Lenovo/Asus (any other brand is ok too)
2. Budget - RM 2000-3500
3. Usage - College work (Notes, assignments) , gaming with 60fps(League of Legends & Blackshot), movie watching, maybe live streaming my gameplays.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - not too thick and too heavy as I'll be bringing it around campus. Size around 13"-15" is ok.

-A good speaker isn't that important as I'll be getting my own earphones/headphones.
-Good battery life too (around 4-5 hours when browsing the web and typing)

are you a movie enthusiast? if you are, you should get a laptop with full HD screen and possible with IPS. by the way, thats a nice budget you have there, possible to get the specs.

Acer
V7-582PG-74508G52k, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD + (1920x1080 IPS; touch)@RM3399[2.2kg], 8GB, W8

or this :

Dell
Inspiron 15 7000, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) + (1920x1080; Touch)@RM3599[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8SL, backlit keyboard, 58Whr

i hope the Dell isnt too heavy for you but the build quality is amazing, almost looked like a Macbook. prices are RRP and negotiable.

Good morning,

Budget: less then 4k
Usage- Web surfing, normal work such as word / presentation . Games i would want to be able to play on the laptop - dota 2 / d3 (dont really need high settings)
But thinking back i'll rarely play games on the laptop (just only if im on the move)

preferred brand:any

preferred size: 15"

Im eyeing the Lenovo Y510p but wondering if its overkill for my usage smile.gif
Any others i should consider? Thank you very much
*
if you only pay dota 2, Lenovo Y510P is the best choice out there, strong enough to support future games.

however W8 needs a touchscreen monitor better right?

no. im currently using Windows 8 now and i dont find problems using it with the mouse. also, touchscreen monitor is just a marketing gimmick.

Voiding warranty? Quite a common misconception. The only way to void warranty if you temper/tear the sticker which says "void if tempered". HDDs and Ram usually do not have such stickers on them. It's usually on the motherboard itself iinm, do correct me if I'm wrong.
*
MSI is the cheapskate here for not letting people to upgrade their laptops; they simply stick the warranty void sticker at the middle of the gap point at the back cover.

That's gonna away much from budget..haha
btw, other than boot time for windows, does SSD makes much diff on launching software and etc?

Opps, can I request the dealer to do the installation?
*
yes, it does.

for installation, depends on the seller's experience and mood. some dont even bother to do it because they know this model is too difficult to tear and its not worth it for just to install a RAM.

Sir what are programs and softwares and latest title of games that do not support Dual GPUs??? Can you give examples? Planning to buy 755sli or it will be better to buy a laptop with gtx765 or gtx770?? sad.gif plz help it will help me decide on what will i buy

i'd say, single GPU is the clear winner. other than saving more juice, you dont need to trouble yourself to troubleshoot SLI issues.

Anyways, thank you T.J for your recommendations, you are truly the laptop specialist in LYN that my friends have been mentioning on and on again. And also thank you xproc for listing out the differences between a laptop and a tablet, as well as recommending me something new  rclxms.gif

Btw, do you 2 have shops in LYP? Or anywhere in KL/Subang/PJ? Maybe I can pay a visit to your shops some day?
*
T.J. is not a specialist, just like me, nexus, xproc, pandera666, we are all a laptop suggester based on our experience and knowledge.

by the way, T.J. is a biologist and photographer, so he dont own any IT shops.
