1. Preferred Brand: Asus and Lenovo. I normally use computer for a long duration of time. I had good experience with Asus laptop because they don't heat up easily.
2. Budget: 1.5-1.8k. 3. Usage: I am buying this laptop for my college life. Studying business so I guess it's all the normal office work. I play FIFA 14 and FIFA Online only. Watching videos, and download/torrent. 4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14 inches. 5. Extra: -HDMI port -Support 1080p videos -DOS is better as I can save some money  This post has been edited by ericling: Mar 28 2014, 04:53 PM |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Mar 28 2014, 05:38 PM) Asus Malaysia's warranty support is not really good man: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2337458 Wow, that's actually the first time hearing that. Will take note of that.And unfortunately there are no suitable Asus notebooks for your budget  Consider the Flex 14 instead  Lenovo Ideapad Flex 14, i3-4010U + Nvidia GT720M +(1366x768; touch) + 8GB SSHD + 500GB HDD@RM1799, 4GB, W8, 2 yrs; color: black  Flex 14 got FreeDOS? I am actually not a big fan of Windows 8 and touch screen, maybe I can save some money from there. I saw GT720M is being mentioned here a lot, what's the heaviest game that it can afford?

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Mar 28 2014, 06:24 PM) Yeah, many people are not aware of Asus Malaysia's notoriety until they experienced it themselves Thanks for the detailed information!  Unfortunately no... if you really want FreeDOS, then these: 14" Lenovo G400s, i3-3110M + Nvidia GT720M@RM1449, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS S410p, i5-4200U + Intel HD4400M@RM1699[2.1kg], 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS 15.6" Lenovo S510p, i3-4010U + Nvidia GT720M@RM1699[2.4kg], 4GB, 500GB, DOS S510p, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT720M@RM1849[2.4kg], 4GB, 500GB, DOS Nvidia GT720M is the lowest end of the range, we only recommend it when you have a budget of less than ~Rm1.9k Its not very powerful  You will get a rough picture of how powerful it is here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Game...ds.13849.0.html *just look for the GPU model  I might consider G400s. It looks really good in that budget. I saw G500S, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT720M@RM1699, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS in few pages back. I wonder how much difference will the i5 make? Is it worth to top up RM250 for the i5? |

Lenovo G500S, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT720M@RM1699, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS is currently on top of the list. What's the Asus alternative to this? Would like to compare the design.

QUOTE(raymondtong94 @ May 10 2014, 12:57 PM) both are more or same. just that i5-4200U is an ULV processor, so its more power efficient that the G500S. Umm, any Lenovo with Nvidia GT820M and i5-4200U?And does Asus X552LD has HDMI port? Might need to go for Lenovo due to the complaints of Asus warranty.
