Hey guys, I am doing some online shopping at senq/ Harvey Norman and came across this HP laptop
HP NB 15-N241TX at rm 2.7k
My choices are limited to those available at senq/Harvey Norman as I need their 36 months 0% interest installment plan via my citibank card. Is there any better model for me out there given my budget around 2.5 to 3k. I would need it to perform better towards gaming/entertainment (video/sound) thanks

Yeah, most of the time you can ask the shop ppl to put in SSD for you as long as you buy everything from them, otherwise they will charge
I have no idea about specific issues, so can't really comment..

We don't know what's available in Harvey Norman bro

http://www.harveynorman.com.my/computers-c...rs/laptops.html

I can only find limited choices there 😕

Please take note that most, if not all of the models there are old and outdated

If you really have to choose, its pretty much the HP and the Toshiba L50, they both have more or less the same specs
The Toshiba might have 3 years warranty, so please check with them

the processor also is a big deal i5-4210U is dual core with low clock speed meanwhile i7-4700MQ is a quad core with good clock speed. it will benefit you in multitasking and some games such as watch dogs, bf4 etc. however y410p have a 1366 x 768 resolution not full HD

The Y50 is winning much more right ? If I chooses this, where can I get an official windows 8.1 installation on it ?

sorry forgot. screen size, the bigger the better. Thanks

try looking for these:

recommending these because of the i7 quad core CPU, very useful for Adobe work

cool! thank you so much.

any advice on rams? 4gb sufficient? illustrator, photoshop, embroidery software usually runs simultaneously all the time.

currently using the y510. want to add another laptop for similar purposes.

Yeah Y50 is better. Original W8.1 can be purchased at any computer store

let say a 3.5k budget.

Go for at least 8GB RAM, it will help
Wah, the Y510 is already a very powerful notebook bro haha

Can consider its predecessors 1 and 2

I would recommend getting an SSD instead for much snappier performance (up to 7x faster)
Go for the MSI recommended to you earlier and put in either a 128GB/256GB SSD, depending on your budget

haha

ok done. will aim for the gp60 + ram upgrade to 8gb.

I need the space so the normal hd will do for now.

Thanks! this thread really helps a lot

Good hunting mate!
Can always consider to upgrade to SSD whenever the HDD starts to slow down due to age

Good day sirs,
I need a laptop recommendation/suggestions...
1. Preferred Brand: Now leaning towards Asus or Msi, but other brand also can
2. Budget: less or equal to RM3.5k
3. Usage: Gaming, I want to be able to play The Sims 3(complete set) in high setting without lag, or Skyrim in high setting without lag for that matter... and theres also that new Dragon origin game coming out soon...
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: around 15" or less, bigger laptop are hard for me to carry

So after a few surveying and a lot or review readings, I found that these two seemed like the laptop i can get,

1. Asus G56JR-CN260H, i5-4200H + Nvidia GTX760M
2. Msi GE60-2PL, i7-4700HQ + Nvidia GTX850M(DDR3)

but idk, any more suggestions with better specs that suit my needs and money restrain would be great... Thanks in advance <3

How about the FreeDOS version of the Y50?
You can get a GTX860M with that one, just have to be more hardworking in installing Windows and associated drivers yourself
