I also wish to know new Asus ROG G501JW & Asus ROG GL552JX in Malaysia market is TN or IPS screen

I checked everywhere it says both Y50 and V Nitro uses 4th Gen Intel. Is that true?

Yup, 5th gen is still using the U model which is not recommended if you game. The 4th gen HQ/MQ version still beats the crap out of 5th gen U model buddy.

I see, thank you for your comment!

Until now I'm undecided on which to pick haha between Y50 and V nitro. V nitro latest version only has 8GB RAM, and more exp because of the better screen.

Well, if you use the laptop to design stuff that requires good colour i suggest the IPS of Acer if not Lenovo. Best is to test the product at the shop. Some may say TN panel suck this and that but it depends on individual preferences.

Guys if i can get omen maxed out specs (512 ssd and 16gb ram with gtx 860 4g) for 5k should i get it instead of asus 501jw with 2nd specs 128 ssd n 1TB hdd with gtx 960m 2gb..same price

If both are the same price and you really don't want to opt for better gpu laptop with that price range, I will go for omen cause of its larger SSD and 16gb. 860m vs 960m not much different in performance.
But do note, IIRC omen only have 1 storage option, you can't add in other SSD or HDD so you will be tied to 512gb SSD forever except you swap it with larger SSD.

Today i went to lowyat to buy the lenovo y50, but unfortunately there was no stock!
only Lenovo official shop was selling it and they are asking for RM 3899.

And what surprised me was i got the same laptop with the same specs and warranty for RM 3450. but unluckily there was no stock ( in all the shops except lenovo shop)

can someone explain to me why there is that much different in the price? is there any differences in both machines or what ?

thanks

Im not a seller
Pls check in garage sales or shop.
1. Pls check with seller, normally its bundling in box.
2. 3. With OS & no free DOS.

Where can I find the 960M GC for VNitro at lowyat? All selling this mode only : Asus vn7591g744n @ RM3600

Y50 also all 860M GC, so how did u find the 960M?

Anyone know what is the max ram supported by acer v nitro? 860m version.. Currently 8gb,thinking of maxing it,but will it void warranty if i send to the shop where i brought it to upgrade? Or need send to highpoint?

Most likely 16GB max.
Don't think it will void warranty if you add in yourself

i see, thanks anyway..
it's hassle to access to the ram section on this laptop so i better leave it to the shop to open it up rather than me screwing up anything inside(maybe).
so if i replace the thermal by myself it should not be a problem right ?

Replacing the thermal paste would be more hard than replacing RAM. i think you let the shop fellow do it when adding RAM but do it in front of you.

alright.. thanks

am very tempted to get the ROG G501JW to replace my work laptop. Will go for the 2nd spec, 1tb +128gb ssd and full hd monitor.

Anyone know what's the battery type for this spec? asus website shows 4 cell and 6 cell but doesn't specifically say it's for which model.

You sure about it? ROG are way too expensive if compare with others with similar spec. It is not worth it. Get the clevo barebone from illegear (z5, Q5) or cyberforge (sm-15) and you will not regret it. And pls bear in mind that the after sales service for asus in malaysia is . I owned ROG laptop before and tons of problem came out after 1-1.5 year of usage...curently using barebone from clevo and there is no quality issue at all.
