im 1/2 towards this point. laugh.gif
through non-verbal conversation, its hard to judge the politeness and rudeness. for example, when we write an essay, people will think of us annoying and if we write something short, people will think that we are rude. rclxub.gif

haiz, nothing can be done because this is the world. laugh.gif

Which is why its important to learn how to type politely lo haha laugh.gif
No shortcuts unfortunately.. it really helps to learn~ I've managed to get along with VIPs in the field just by being polite laugh.gif

Sorry for off topic haha~


*Anyways, I wonder why we haven't really see any successful notebook that can be attached to a dock that will turn it into a performance machine? hmm.gif Sure nice to have the best of both worlds laugh.gif

i have thought about this concept a very long time, like how Lenovo Y510P's ultrabay does but this concept's impression may made someone laugh.

lets say the main unit is the tablet itself, with an ULV processor, decent amount of RAM and massive mSATA SSD storage inside. when we want performance for gaming, just simply dock in the tablet to the keyboard, which has a quad core CPU and a beasty GPU in the keyboard. no mSATA slot or RAM slot are present in the keyboard dock, as it will rip off the cooling parts.

just my future concept impression, you may laugh if you wanted to. laugh.gif

EDIT : aiks, back to topic. i smell warnhammer. laugh.gif

2. Budget : RM2k
3. Usage: microsoft office , some gaming(dota2, L4D2, hope can play) video/photo editing, surf and online movie.

I was looking at E1-472G. Does it come with Dos only?? Not a fan if W8. And also lower end of Flex 14 (GT820M card) RSP 1799 at Lenovo Web'

Its good to know that you have already did some research before asking notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Oh, we only recommend the Flex 14 if your budget is from RM1.7-2.3k AND you don't really play games haha.. since you do game, please consider these instead:
14"
Dell Inspiron 14R, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM1849 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Linux, 6 cell; W8@RM2049

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

*Prices in RRp ya

THe graphic cards in these are much better than the GT720M
Just pick the one you like more, since both are pretty equally spec-ed. If you are going for the Dell, it might be better to fork out a little bit more for the warranty ya icon_rolleyes.gif

Try to upgrade to at least 8GB RAM, it will help with your editing and multi-tasking nod.gif You can choose to upgrade later on when you have the budget icon_rolleyes.gif

Depending on how adventurous you are, you can actually get one of the cheapest ones, then throw in an SSD, that way you will get a much faster computing experience (even more than the expensive ones laugh.gif)

3. Usage : Word-processing, Internet-surfing. (No lag please)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 12"-13" maybe? As long as it's easy to carry around.

Thanks a lot.

You don't really need that much budget for normal usage hmm.gif
