yes... but acer v nitro is cheaper than illegear z5... 3.3k if not mistaken...

i was amd fanboys.. i love their techn.. but, past few years... im kinda disappointed wif amd... not much improvement.. thats why i say.. if u buy notebook.. its better invest in intel + nvdia.

talking about driver issue... u buy low end gpu card... but wanna ply games dat require mid end or high entry card and running it in low setting.... of cz sometimes compatibility problems

Hey guys, any recommendation for the following requirements?

1) Asus, MSI, Acer, Dell
2) Rm3K to RM4k
3) Casual to moderate gaming(able to play current games at high settings), daily usage for Microsoft words/excel/power point presentation
4)15.6inches, looking for I7 OS, at least 8GB RAM, SSD Storage and GPU at least NVidia GTX 860M and above.

Thanks!

Yes, the data is quite hard to get considering msia actually unlike western that has a lot of choices, but these choices also delivered by the storekeeper purposely limiting the option, for example desktop gpu I've been surveying a lot in msia is mostly asus, gigabyte, sapphire, but I used HIS last time starting around 2007 till 2013 where it died. Gotta say AMD mid end gpu is good and I'm able to play borderlands 2 in full quality that time too with full 1080p resolution on my 2007-2008 gaming rig equipment. Now it's dead due to bios and had to downgrade to geforce 8850 something, the old 4 figure geforce

What he meant was if you're going to use windows better use nvidia, if linux better use ati. Even with this 4820tg gpu, playing assassins creed up to black flag, I just have to update the driver and I'm good to go, while unity, with bad stutter but just the same, I just update the driver and basically I'm able to play. I never used nvidia so their driver support for old hardware is trivial to me especially on mobile gpu lines, not to mention average future games it can support for example can support up to games 5 years in the future but at that range the setting has to be low for fluid gameplay

Yes, another main reason why I tend to go mid to entry high gpu performance laptop in the first place, I might play games. Further more I also might do some other things requires intensive computing power.

Between both, v nitro and illegear z5, can you give me suggestion like pros and cons maybe? =)

no... if windows.. either use intel ready gpu or nvdia... both can... linux doesnt need graphic card... mostly.. doesnt need any... integrated gpu is good to go.. u not really wan play games on linux platform isnt it.. unless, you generating password cracking using gpu for security purpose. sometimes, driver cause games to crash a lot.. updating driver sometimes does not gv any significant different. it depends...


v nitro is much lighter than z5... and these 2 notebook have different class.. 1 is premium class, 1 is standard premier class...

if have budged more than 4k.. to be exact 4.3k.. for surely, illegear z5 is good for investment. good service after sales, best money value and its customised notebook. you might want ssd for the laptop.... so can be add on.. and many features can be added because it is customised. its comes with freeDos, so you can install OS on your own.. well, u know how isnt it save ma.... still, it is reliable notebook....

v nitro on the other hand is standard premier class cz its budged notebook... everything is fix.. cant customised it.. warranty support seems slightly improve... but not yet as good as illegear or dell. still pretty reliable somehow to me. as long as still under warranty.. i have no worries and wount spend $$ while snd for repair or wat.. as long as buying from authorize dealer. but it comes with OS.. so, kinda "plug and play" style...


since these 2 comes with great different in price... its up to your budget...

3. For uni usage
4. screen size 14" 15"

any good/reliable notebook can recommend?
thanks

Sigh, when I thought wanna go for z5, I just realised it's a freedos laptop and 4.4k is just for the hardware only. I could go with illegear z5 freedos like a refugee win7 users but the win10 upgrades are only for selective win7 only. And win7 soon will become like winxp that eventually dies out slowly.

Spec wise,

v17 nitro got 17" full hd display with optical drive, price is unknown for now, the optical bay can be changed to secondary sata but like you said, everything's fixed, windows os included

z5; somewhat customizable (practically new to me) and might get me using this one for long term but it's freedos, most likely gotta be a refugee in win7, uses ssd, no optical

It is so confusing which one

Dell 3443 DOS

but at least.. win7 is much stable than win8.. and better features than winxp which is totally absolute. yes... customization notebook will gives u better specs that you prefered. no optical, no prob.. can booting using usb... not a prob...

Yeah, windows 10 still doesn't attract me that much. Windows 7 is still the most stable atm.

1. Preferred Brand: Asus, Lenovo, Dell
2. Budget: Below 3000
3. Usage: University use and some high graphic gaming. Prefer i7
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: ~14 inch, good battery, min heat / no heat
5. Preferred: Optical drive so that I can modified to ssd

yes... exactly.. gonna wait for few patches... even now im using win8.1

dell 7447 with pure i7 quad core and gtx850m rm2999

Hopefully it will get better soon. The Edge browser sounds cool though. Hahaha I wonder if IE will remain exist in the future.

before this... they want to replace IE.. that namely spartans. but end up they use the name edge browser.. means... they actually fail to finish up the project.. so they extend the ability of IE then gv new name "the edge". better than ie but not meet spartans expectation. still The Edge is prototype for Spartans browser. its just forums assumptions. read it somewhere


spartans

edge

Have yet to try out the Edge but imho, people will still stick with chrome/safari. If the Spartan is a success, this will definitely be another story already.
