I see heat issues.
What do you think about ASUS ROG 552?
Any heat issues? ROG 552 vs dell 7447, which better?
*
the only different is 15" vs 14"

dell have better warranty and service after sales. while asus kinda bad service after sales.. compare to those 2... i'm not sure if new price for latest 7447 with gtx950m or not. but that rog 552 have gtx950m... which is newer version of gtx850m on dell. but performance jz slightly improve.. not much different.

try check the review too..
Dell 7447

1. Preferred Brand: any
2. Budget: Rm2.5k
3. Usage: online, assignment and gaming(Fifa14)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14inch or 15 inch is better?

15" is good with heat disperse.. not much cramp inside. laugh.gif

but with that budget
Inspiron 7447-21452G 14” , i5-4210 , 4GB , 500GB , GTX850M 4GB , W8.1 : RM2699

try nego and buy w/o free gift.. might be within your budget...

Hello guys smile.gif I'm trying to buy a good gaming laptop to replace my old Alienware M15x model from 2010 - hopefully, cheaper than an AW this time though.

1. Preferred Brand
I don't have a particular preference for a brand. I don't like Acer though.

2. Budget
RM5500.

3. Usage
I'll mainly be playing MOBAs like League of Legends but I also like to play other more intensive games such as the Assassin's Creed series. I'd like a good gaming laptop as I plan to hopefully, use the laptop for 4 years or so. Therefore, I'd like it to be future proof and can handle games that come out in the future as well.

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
15" please.

Preferred specs:
At least 960m, preferably 965m or better although I understand that any higher will most likely not fit into my budget.
4th gen i7 - 5th gen would be preferred.
8GB RAM.
SSD is not a must.
A good 1080p display is all I need in terms of display - don't need 4k displays.

The laptop should also have good cooling - preferably dual vents and dual fans.

Since I'm an international student who would likely be moving after finishing my degree, I'd like the brand to have good support service/accessible service centers. I have considered Illegear but I don't know whether Gigabyte/Sager service centers abroad will accept Illegear notebooks.

Other notebooks I have considered include the MSI GE62 2QE and the Asus G551JW.

Please feel free to recommend any and all gaming laptops that fit these requirements. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you smile.gif
*
then get a beast...
asus is out of league. get a customised gaming notebook.

Illegear z5 is the best choice... 4.7k + windows OS 8.1
**currently promotion.. good deal too
CODE

FREE Toshiba 1TB SSHD Primary Drive Upgrade

FREE IC Diamond Thermal Compound

FREE Professional Color Calibration

Total Worth RM267

Promotion ends 10th August 2015.


Illegear z5
Dual-heatpipe, Dual-vent and Dual-fan Cooling

another is S5 with Triple-heatpipe, Triple-heatsink and Triple-fan Cooling.. but.. already can do well.

Latest 7447 is gtx 850m sad.gif, Just can't decide which. But like you mentioned in earlier post, a lot people buy asus, so sure got complains bad after sales service. The acer i used when i bought was 4 years ago, no probs at all. but that time people complain acer after sales service really bad as well.
Got any experience you can share with both of this?
*
based on my personal experience... i bought acer as my first notebook when i enter uni.. really use it in extreme condition (heavy games and rendering 3D) even low setting, dat time was gt310m sweat.gif few months later i bought my asus x42de, just came bek from shop, hdd dead sweat.gif wait 9 days to get new hdd.. fuck yeah.. my acer give to my bro dat time.. so i dont have any notebook.. so had to wait.. and my acer still kicking until now... but currently my bro use it play fifa most of the time... still can ply smoothly with fifa15. 6 years od.. my asus.. died early of this year.. around feb if not mistaken. 5 years lifespan...


even a forumer, my friend..if you refer to his first post in this topic. he is acer user before that.. he's regret change to lenovo. laugh.gif
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3623734

i still believe acer have their own QC.. and i think that acer still a reliable brand. just ppl still assume acer is bad. well.. certain notebook have their own problem.. just because of 1 notebook fail to meet their expectation, they blame the brand..

QUOTE(LokiD.d.G @ Jul 16 2015, 10:04 AM)
I'll concur that Acer has been improving steadily over the years. But IMHO, most of the distrust of the brand stems from their poor products from over a decade ago. My first computer was an Acer desktop purchased about 15 years ago and it was a continuous fountain of grief. Still, as you said, the durability of consumer electronics has as much to do with blind luck as with quality components. Though the better the latter, the less the former becomes a factor.
*
nod.gif yup.. they are improving. last time issue is always battery.. easily run out... no matter what notebook sweat.gif i'm not sure if its because of international product or what.. my acer is korean version. and my cousin bought 1 when visitting us last time. and battery easily flat.. same brand.. same model.. different suffix code..

Thanks for the recommendations.

My ideal will be like this
http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-linux/pd

however, it is not selling in M'sia.

My job basically heavy in CPU and Harddisk IO. I'm looking for alternative and open to other options. It is either to buy XPS from Malaysia or direct import from US (as it can be 1K cheaper).
*
the nearest is singapore.. try email singapore dell branch about it before you direct import from US.

Are there any MSI laptops that could compete with it? I'm assuming Asus is out because of their poor service quality?

Hi Sifus, I checked out the review pandera and searched on the website.
Both Dell 7447 and ROG GL552 have their own flaws. No idea which is more severe, any advice? OR any other laptop recommendation around the same price?

Thank you.

these 2 model seems to match my desired specification quite well.

is there any area which i should watch out for?  blink.gif  blink.gif  blink.gif

was cautioned by this line "please do some research for this notebook before you purchase it.."  laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

or maybe its juz myself being paranoid. tongue.gif

most likely would be picking up the second ones, since it has FHD 14inch screen and at the same time provide windows 8.1 (although i actually have my own windows 7, which i personally prefer compared to windows 8.1 smile.gif )
*
lol... not because being paranoid.. but.. its necessary for you to check and compare. issue that always arise is heat and display problem... if none of this 2 issue that occurs.. then, it should be ok.
