QUOTE(fleur_cherie @ Jan 22 2016, 04:26 PM) Hi, I am getting a new laptop. i hope u could recommend a few laptops to consider. I don't need super hi-performance and fancy laptop. Was considering Lenovo Z5070, but can't find them in lowyat plaza. 1. Preferred Brand:Any brand. 2. Budget: 3K MAX... 3. Usage: Massive downloading, watching movies and play game like dota 2, GTA 4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14 or larger.. 5. Personal preference: Good screen, lightweight and won't overheat. Thanks. GTA 5? that game need a good graphic card to play smoothly though can try consider Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-572G-57N0 price at 3k this laptop using Full HD IPS panel for their screen so the picture quality much nicer than others laptop that using TN panel |

QUOTE(LadyQ @ Jan 23 2016, 01:50 AM) Hello bro, in Acer website and latest catalogue, that V Nitro model is priced at 3199. can get 3k or below at lowyat if still cant find at 3k price, can consider Asus A555LB-XX410T price at 2.9k and HP Pavilion 15-ab543TX price at 2.8k both using decent graphic card gt 940m which still can play that game in low-med setting |

QUOTE(blackbox14 @ Jan 24 2016, 01:54 AM) Hi. Not sure if right place to ask this, but I've been looking at Dell 7447 or 7559 because I heard customer service is good, and gaming performance is okay. Been surveying for months before deciding on these two, but which is better for a mix of MMO gaming and net browsing/watching shows? Most importantly, I DON'T want Windows 10. Can I get a 7447 or 7559 with Win 8.1 instead? Another thing is, I know the mid RM3000 ASUS ROG machine (GL552JX-DM014H) used to come with Win 8.1, but I think now they've changed to 10 already? Was originally aiming for this one. both are pretty sufficient for MMO gaming i dont think you can find 7559 with win 8.1, all ready come with win 10 only 7447 comes with win 8.1 |

QUOTE(ionStorm @ Jan 24 2016, 01:24 AM) Hi guys. Need a recommendation for the following criteria. 1. Preferred Brand: Any. 2. Budget: None. 3. Usage: Work. Lots of tabs open and running at least 2 VM's. 4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 14 inch is fine. 5. Weight: Up to 2kg 6. RAM: Min 16GB7. Battery life: Preferably 8 hoursit's hard to find laptops with those combination, mostly laptop that comes with 16gb are gaming laptop where we knew that gaming laptop rarely to achieve 8 hours on battery the only gaming laptop i can find that can last nearly 8 hours are Dell Alienware 15 price at 8.5k where it can last 7.5 hours on battery but the weight of this laptop are heavy 3.2kg  for others recommendation can try take a look at Dell Latitude 14 E7450 price at 5k which their battery can last up to 8 hours but it only comes with 8gb only, you have to add another 8gb ram by yourself another recommendation for a very long lasting battery from me is Lenovo ThinkPad T450s price at 6.8k which it can last up to 15 hours IF you change the rear battery from 24wh to 72wh but the ram are not upgradable only have 12gb This post has been edited by X_F@cT0R: Jan 24 2016, 06:55 AM |

QUOTE(blackbox14 @ Jan 24 2016, 04:19 PM) Thanks for answering. 7447 is hard to find now though right? Also if I see a OS: DOS for 7559 what does it mean? still can find it in lowyat plaza DOS = no OS, u have to install the OS by yourself |

QUOTE(blackbox14 @ Jan 24 2016, 07:28 PM) Does that mean DOS is the best if the user wants full control then? Basically being able to install Win 7 or 8.1 depending on driver compatibility for the laptop? yeah can install any OS you want including install pirate OS  |

QUOTE(MapleSyrup77 @ Jan 24 2016, 08:41 PM) Preferred Brand: HP / Acer / Dell (but any will do) Budget: 2k and lower (incl. GST?) Usage: Studying, video/audio editing, gaming (mostly those old specs games and MMO) Preferred laptop/screen size: If possible, the bigger the better. I had Inspiron before (and somehow dunked it in water), so I am looking forward to other suggestion. And, how cheap one can make their med-spec desktop? Asus X554LJ price at 2k -intel i5-5200U -nvidia gt 920m -4gb ram -15.6" HD -DOS or you can add another 200 for Asus A455LF that comes with nvidia gt 930m which is a better graphic card than 920m |

QUOTE(avengers88 @ Jan 24 2016, 10:24 PM) Part gaming part work .. work probably using alot of vmware and application tools .. Games that are play are like dota 2 ( frequent ) , assasin's creed and all those .. My priority is the screen must be clear and nice , some sort like macbook pro , or the dell xps 13 .. Dell Inspiron 15 7559 is the best bang of buck laptop with a nice spec price at 3.4k -intel i5-6300HQ -nvidia gtx 960m -4gb ram -DOS since you mentioned about clear and nice screen, i would recommend illegear q5 starting price from 4.5k where you can opted to IPS/AHVA sRGB 100% display This post has been edited by X_F@cT0R: Jan 24 2016, 11:05 PM |
