Hey ValityMental,

The Acer V Nitro is a pretty decent notebook but seems like it's rarer than hens teeth. Hard to get and limited stocks.
You should check the Acer specific thread on this forum for more info though cause it seems they raised the price and reduced one or two specs. (tried finding the article from Lowyat website but not there anymore)

In any case, the Nitro is retailing for RM4,599 with a 860M GPU but for that same price you can already get the MSI GE60 2QE with the newer 960M GPU.

RM4,499 for MSI GE60 2QE Apache Pro with 15'6in IPS screen or tambah another 100 bucks for a larger 17'3in screen, MSI GE70 2QE Apache Pro.

You can find the details here. http://bit.ly/mymsinb_booklet
I always visit their FB page for free stuff and the latest info.

Not to insult you or anything. But the MSI GE60/70 aint worth it because it still uses one fan and dual heatsink. If possible get the GE62/72.

As for 860 and 960, they are basically the same with the 960 slightly clock higher to gain some albeit small performance gain.

Oh boy, lets hope it is firmware problems. If not then try calling Acer whether they do onsite pickup (might incur some cost if they do)?

I'm not denying anything though. I'm interested in it cause I'm planning to switch to a different HDD if there is a HDD which is faster than 7200rpm. Not going for SSD though.

On consumer side max is 7200 rpm. Don't think there is anything higher. o.o, cant imagine the angular velocity in that thing. LOL

You can call the customer service ask whether they do pickup and courier. If you trust them enough.

If you can see past Asus after sale service then it is quite good.
For basic uses, the spec should be sufficient.

would direct you to this.
for your budget and requirements, ultimately it would come down to these 2.
HP worked with Microsoft closely for the whole laptop (except the trackpad) whereas Dell worked with Microsoft for the trackpad.

torn between XPS 15 and Zenbook UX305.

Can say XPS 15 the all rounder laptop. Powerful specs with sleek design and etc while the Asus zenbook is used mainly for basic usage such as browsing, word processing and etc.

Though the mass for XPS 15 is around 2KG++ while the Zenbook would be significantly lighter.

1.5k bro.heard HP stream x360 come out? I want to buy 2in 1 laptop for reading ebook before sleep.

Why not get a laptop and a tablet instead or just a tablet.

Anyways, best is that you yourself go and check out the product because one man poison is another man treasure (Something like that).

Moreover, I like 11.6inches and microsoft office presentation good with windows. I need to give presentation on pitch book

Like I said. Negative comment is one thing. It is best you go test the product. Cant get anything better with your budget.
Unless pandera999 has something up his sleeve.

EDIT : Can try to find second hand in the garage sales.

Regarding on the Acer V Nitro

The current one is selling for RM3709 inclusive of GST , should i get that or the refreshment variant where the GPU is upgraded to GTX960M , which cost RM3999 inclusive of GST , is it worth?
*
Ok, so the question is whether the performance increase from 860 to 960 worth the price? You be the judge since your the buyer.

From benchmarks, 960 give a ~8percent boost compared to 860. Happy hunting. biggrin.gif

Yeap the price is without GST tho, lots of complain on Asus after sales service . Compare between G55 and v nitro which one better for you?

Think of it this way. The extra from Acer is for the after sale service (if they are alot better than Asus). If not if you can look pass Asus after sale service, then go for Asus (Quality is good).

A quick search (I do mean quick search) about Acer after sale service wasn't pleasant. If i were to choose i go for the lesser evil. ASUS all the way (Quality is good), Acer do seem to have some (QC problem, I might be mistaken though.) Happy Hunting.

and the DOS is ? hmm.gif

Well, I would go for the Dell Inspiron 7447 14” - I7-4710 + 8GB+ 1TB + GTX850M 4GB + DOS : RM2680. Better CPU compared to the rest. Top up to get Windows.

EDIT : Some charts

DO note the model.
I.E

i7 4710 MQ/HQ and i7 5500U. If wanna game get the MQ/HQ rather than the U version.

Don't think you can get GTX860m with your budget though. AFAIK, GTX860M starts around RM3K and above
