QUOTE(sheng291 @ Dec 17 2013, 03:47 AM) Dear fellow sifus, anyone is using dell inspiron 14R or 15R? How's the cooling system? I am quite satisfied with the spec, cell power and price of it...2.3kg is still acceptable for me, but I need a laptop that can be used without cooling system..Had some hard time with my old lappy that can heat up to 80/90'c Thanks Don't understand. All laptop models (except certain tablet / hybrid) has active cooling system (fan and heat sink), can't survive without them. Inspiron 14R and 15R is ok, not good, not bad, just ok.

QUOTE(profdra @ Dec 17 2013, 10:34 AM) is there vast difference between FHD & IPS display for photoshop? thanks. major benefit of an IPS display is its extremely wide viewing angles, meaning colors stay true no matter what angle you view it from. IPS has Better Color Gamut IPS has Better Color Accuracy - Blacks appear black, reds appear red, whites appear white. IPS has Better Viewing Angles – This is of course the feature most noticeable to the average eye and easy to demonstrate as the videos did previously. IPS displays can have viewing angles up to 178-degrees wide. As a photoshop user an IPS would be better

With the budget 2.5k, most the spec I found is i5-4200U/M with GT 740M,whille this is the only model I can get with higher spec in the price list. Thanks sifu

Inspiron 14R is the cheapest model with GT750M you will find in Malaysia.

That's the thing, with that budget most are i5-4200U with GT 740M, only 14R and 15R can give me 4500U with GT750M. I might need it for medium gaming (assn creed, cod in medium setting), and some engineering drawing, i afraid 4200U +740M might not be able to reach my needs

G400s never has a factory spec with 128GB SSD  In term of general responsiveness, the G400s spec win. In term of GPU (3D gaming) performance, the 5460 is better (GT630M vs HD4000).
