QUOTE(jojoes @ May 19 2014, 09:55 PM) Thanks . but i never heard of illegear brand before. . sorry im not from IT industry tough Illegear has started getting popular since 2012.  in the past, people's whom own Sager laptops mostly are brought in from other countries, mainly USA. in order to do that, Illegear was established and their role is to distribute Sager laptops in Malaysia. in 2012, after distributing Sager laptops for 2 years, now they evolved their business into a custom laptop building industry. |

QUOTE(Rin @ May 22 2014, 06:14 PM) Seriously man, not yet arrived in Malaysia??? mainstream brands normally dont bring 17" laptops into the local market. so far the companies that did it are Dell (their inspiron 17 7000) and MSI (GP70) AFAIK. QUOTE(ShumT @ May 23 2014, 12:21 AM) I suggest u to get MSI because Toshiba no more popular in market la.. U can get GE70 Apache Pro, it is within ur budget : RM4,299 only. And also come with 17” screen size ler… I can say this model can fulfill all ur requirements. stop your foolish attitude. people asked for an around 2k budget laptop and you recommended him/her a 4k budget laptonp. not to mention, your suggestion is overkilling.

QUOTE(therealtatata @ May 24 2014, 07:16 PM) Thanks guys. What about thin/light laptops that are lower-end (i.e. cheaper) but with same specs except for HDD which can be upgraded to SSD? Most of these machines have the same RAM and processor anyway; I was thinking I could save a bit of money by buying a cheaper computer and upgrading that myself. Vostro 5470 is out of your option because it doesnt support SSD. the rest are just overpriced. but why dont you consider this?Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 13, i5-4200U + Intel HD4400 + (1920x1080; IPS touch) + 16GB SSHD + 500GB HDD@RM2899, 8GB, 2 years; colors: grey/orange |

QUOTE(therealtatata @ May 27 2014, 03:58 AM) Thanks for the suggestion of Yoga 2 13. I prefer Yoga 2 Pro because of the weight. I'm pretty sure I can just pull out the whole HDD from the 5470 and replace with an SSD...http://lawyerz.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/vostro-5470-review-malaysia.html no, Dell gave a pretty doubting reason; the Vostro 5470 comes in 2 versions, one with SSD and one without SSD so you need to beware. |

QUOTE(choyawe @ May 28 2014, 10:45 AM) Thanks for advise. I was looking for lenovo Y series, since it has Nvidia Gt755 (which is betta than 740/840) And also laptop with dvd drive. if you can bump up your budget a little, you can go for it. the Lenovo Y510P is definitely a good buy.Wat i understand msi display have blue cast, color accuracy is not there, which is crucial for photo editing. |

So I can draw directly on the screen? so that means you need a touch screen laptop. only touch screen laptop has digitizers, so the Dell Inspiron 15 and 17 7000 is your only option.Sorry... should have made that clearer. |

QUOTE(choyawe @ May 28 2014, 08:29 PM) if compare between Y510P and Y410P, any difference other than screen size? screen resolution is smaller for the Y410P. performance is same but cooling system, Y510P will perform better due to more spaces in the laptop, allowing escape of hot air.how bout their performance? cooling system? |
