I think it is a good offer because the retail price for this model is Rm2149 before.

When buying a laptop it is crucial to understand the reason you are buying it for and what function you want. If you are thinking about presentation, we all know Apple is the best. But as for gaming and compatibility with other software getting others is more beneficial.
I, myself use a very powerful laptop, this is because of entertainment, high end gaming, and also I like the mobility. If you are looking for performance laptop always check the temperature. Now the new graphic card gtx980 is cooler compare to the previous one. You only need one of it, but if you are more adventurous you can have sli gtx980, basically 2 of it. Most important is still the heat. Find one that it doesn't get hot easierly as we know it will reduce the performance. But of course the price is also very expensive. Cheers. |

I ve read tht changing wifi card doesnt solve the prob.. It is design flaw... Rm1550 is actually for new one.. Not used.. The main advantage using TN panel is that it provides the shortest response times, making them good for gaming. In combination with LED back-lighting, offer high brightness and draw less power.Then can u suggest me the cheapest i5 laptop tht meet my requiremnts above? How about lenovo s410.. Is it a good model? Z40 70 with tn panel.. Is tn panel really looks bad? There is no single type of LCD that is good at everything. What panel type you choose must be a compromise based on how you use the monitor. Gamers will generally be happy with TN panels and their exceptional response time. Photographers and graphic designers should buy an IPS monitor instead... and usually TN is cheaper than IPS. |
