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?

Hi sifus any recommendation for cheapest intel i3 laptop..budget rm1200 possible or not? Or can recommend laptop around rm1200 budget thanksss!

Dell
Inspiron 14-3437, i3-4010U + Intel HD4400@RM1399[1.99kg], Ubuntu, 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), 4-cell; W8SL@RM1549

Acer
E1-470-33214G50s, i3-3217U + Intel HD4000@RM1399, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS

brand: asus / dell / acer / lenovo
budget : 2-2.5k
usage : watch movie / mmorpg (eve online, etc) / light photo editing / light video editing
screen size : 14 / 15.6 ( if can HD+ resulution )
p/s : want the hdd and ram easy to change...if can longer battery life and at least 4th gen i5.

already consider dell vostro 5470 but hear cant ssd, so if can model that can easy change to ssd...

thanks.

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.

1. Any reliable brand(toshiba etc.)
2. RM1800
3. Medium Gaming, Movies
4. 14"

1. Preferred Brand-
Any, build quality and service must be top notch
Apple might work as well.

2. Budget-
RM 2000-3000

3. Usage-
Photoediting, browsing, college work, light gaming (dota 2)

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
Light weight (if possible) , long battery life roughly 4-5 hours, mainly for college work and photoediting

I'm stuck on deciding which laptop is more suitable?
Inspiron 15" 7000
Lenovo Idealpad u430t

Inspiron 15" is off budget actually but i'm willing to top up to get it.
Or is there another better option other than these?

1. Preferred Brand - no mac/acer/samsung
2. Budget - 3-4k
3. Usage - will possibly be opening autocad/3dsmax and photoshop at the same time
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - dont really matter.

I need a good performance laptop and also a international warranty sort where i'll be travelling soon.

Another concern is the graphic card and also the need of ssd in the laptop(how does it work actually? does the laptop has an additional slot or something? been using desktop most of my life)

thanks alot ;D

Hi, im new here, wanna ask for the following specs of a laptop:

1. lenovo > dell > msi > others
2. budget < 3.2 k for i7 (benchmark of Lenovo Y510p), <2.2k for i5 (benchmark by lenovo G500s),can increase a bit lol, save money for getting a PC at home oso..
3. Usage:
a. advance gaming: dota2, HON, assasin creed, torchlight, Sims and other higher end game in future.
b. Some photoshop, video making, basic microsoft works etc.

4. Prefer screen 14/15.6 not more than 15.6. its too big and heavy for my bag to carry..=(
5. Other: weight <3kg
6. processor speed >2GHz.. i7 QM 3rd or 4th gen with quad core, i5 3rd or 4th gen with M, i dont like U , anti-U..haha
7. Good graphic card preferable better or similar to GT 750 or GT775 (around this is acceptable also larr..haha) choose nvidea coz i dont kow about AMD.. i dun think intel HD can play those games smoothly..
8. 4 GB or above,
9. 750GB or 1TB, if 500 also nevermind, i will change it later. =)
10. can add in SSD is a good option too~
11. DOS or windows are ok..can change if i dont like it~
12. Good cooling system. (my compaq now is heating up very easily, but luckily no overheat yet =)
13. Can stay to use in nex 3 years as i dun plan to buy lappy after this.

Prices are RSP, negotiable.

You need powerful CPU, and a reasonable discrete GPU.
International warranty - unless you tell us where you are going, wouldn't know if it cover in that country. Basic rule is this: Even if a models come with international warranty, if the brand does not sell that model in that country, you will have difficulty getting good service due to spare part issue.

SSD - Solid State Drive. Made from NAND (like USB drive, SD card, ... but much faster due to dedicated controller).
Can connect to laptop using the same interface like HDD, i.e. SATA port. For SATA SSD in laptop, need to pay attention to the z-height as well (5mm, 7mm, 9mm, otherwise may not fit the laptop skinniness).
Also has smaller form factor for mSATA interface.
Very fast / responsive.
Expensive compared to HDD, 256GB ~ RM600.
Can buy after-market, and install into laptop.
Stay with brand like Samsung, Intel, Plextor, Crucial, and you should be fine.
Normally come with 3/5 years warranty.
You can also use SSD in desktop, it is just a form of storage device.

Asus
N550JV-CN077H, i7-4700HQ + Nvidia GT750M + (1920x1080; IPS matte)@RM3699[2.7kg], 4GB, 1TB, W8, backlit keyboard

extend warranty to 3 years for ~ RM250, can do tag transfer online to transfer warranty support from 1 country to another (unlimited time)

HP
Envy Touchsmart 15-J053TX, i7-4702MQ + Nvidia GT750M + (1920x1080;touch)@RM3499[2.56kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8
Buy care pack to get International warranty. Get re-seller to help.

Lenovo

2 year warranty, cover in certain countries. Can extend / upgrade warranty. Check with re-seller.

Prices are RSP, negotiable.

Stay away from the G500s, the GT720M is too weak for your games.
You have listed down pretty much most of the models that tick your boxes.
As for re-sellers, search in garage sale section right her in LYN.

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?? 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.

Thanks... so sifus anyone? what is the best gaming laptop for 4k range? 5k range? 6k range? Any brand....

Can upgrade ssd, or can put ssd+hdd
Can upgrade gpu maybe after 2-3yrs?
Or upgrade components after maybe 2-3yrs?

I mean good upgreadability of the laptop. ..
Can play games smoothly like the witcher2/3, skyrim, mw3, need for speed title, sleeping dogs, far cry 3, crysis 3,,tomb raider, nba2k14, any other new titles.

Got bluetooth connection, FHD to IPS, will use wifi internet... good built in camera and mic, quality built in speakers is a plus,

15-17" FHD to IPS.

TiA sifus

thx bro for your information ... i might getting the N56JR .. in my area , they doesn't have the demo unit for me to try .. so i can only get information from lowyat.net .. is it heavy for the N56JR ? cause i might carrying in and out to campus ..

http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/N...#specifications

Check the weight: 2.7 kg (with 6 cell battery)

bro.. do you think the GE60 is better than the N56JR ? can i know what's the differences between 3rd gen & 4th gen i7 processor ?

Any recommendation gaming laptop around 3k good graphic and hopefully ultra book

4th gen is slightly improve in the performance compared with 3rd gen but normally user won't feel anything unless you digest deepest inside.


Actually, you are going to use in your Uni life right?
If you are hardcore gamer, then get a laptop with Full HD screen + better graphic card.
Or else get a normal laptop and pump SSD inside (just like me)
