Geforce 940mx and AMD m430, which one is better?
I know 940mx is better on gaming, but how about movie?
*
majority games on market kinda favor to nvdia card. its much better invest in nvdia card.

movie? even intel hd can hande 4k movie well. graphic card nothing much to do with movie..

1. nice

2. Ah, I see. So you wouldn't recommend the 7820hk? I was thinking about it because the capability to oc might be useful in the future if I want it to last longer and be up-to-date.

3. Is the colour that bad compared to IPS? Or does the smoothness make up for the colour drop? And what about the thing about not being able to hit 120fps anyway

4. hmmm, I'll have to physically compare myself to make a decision. I have a 15.6" asus n550jv that weighs 2.6kg, and I thought that that's the biggest and heaviest laptop I'll ever go for. I'll have to see how much bigger and heavier a 17.3" laptop is

5. I've definitely seen that written somewhere else before, on a forum or something. Regardless, I think the point still stands, the price drop is due to the shorter battery life and smaller build which somehow leads to less performance or something like that, right?

I know about illegear, I've customized one too many laptops on their website, from 8k 1060 laptop to 11k i7-7820hk gtx 1070 laptop.

Anyway, thank you for your input!
GE62 (15.6" model) has gtx 1070; MSI Malaysia page, NCS online store, and 11street page lists it as having 1070, at only 8.8k compared to other brands/models that have 1070 laptop for considerably more.

Why would GT series cost so much more than GE? Quite weary about making a purchase on a GE for the same specs at lower price... Regardless of the weight, I think the asus isn't very aesthetically pleasing. Illegear with same size/weight however looks more sleek and not just for gaming. My personal opinion. Anyway thank you
*
2. well... its up to you. but performance not much different. OC might be useful? interesting.. explain futher, why laugh.gif and its kinda opposite with your expectation in reality.

3. erm, color not that bad for me but of cz... IPS > TN in terms of color. IPS is frequently preferred by graphics professionals because it has superior colour accuracy and contrast to TN (although VA has better contrast still). It frequently also has better color range (gamut) but much of this is because historically IPS has been used in more expensive, higher-end monitors, and are therefore paired with better components overall.

4. better performance = power hungry = less battery for day works. but, these days. what you needs and how you fully utilized it will makes the different. simple.

Hey there sifu,

1. Preferred brand : any
2. Budget : 4.5k+
3. Usage : programming, and gaming (only dota2 though)
4. Screen Size : 15.6" and above

Remarks:
Been asking around, Aver VX 15 seems like a good choice but a seller told me the second batch, screens are changing to TN panel rather than IPS panel. Dell has nice specs but crappy TN panel. Lenovo y520 seems like a good choice, with nice build quality mentioned by some and durability i guess. Illegear has some nice offer with free upgrade to 8gb ram on their q5 evo, but im paying 4.4k for i5 spec while for the same price, acer is offering i7 spec.

What say you?
*
vx was good.... and lenovo legion as well.... nod.gif
and value for money are these 2 so far... quite good... and can get i7 specs

Hi.  Sifus. Really need your recommendation:
1. Preferred brand :As long as can last long (Not Dell,Toshiba )
2. Budget : 2.5k 
3. Usage : heavy browsing, movies  download & streaming, word & excel
4. Screen Size : 15"

Most ppl  said Asus  is better but Asus  spec  doesn't seems to be that attractive. 😥😥

Please advise.

Thank you very much

Acer Aspire E5-575G-58CR 15.6"

Nanyang Polytechnic Notebook Roadshow 2017

Acer Laptop is good deal, best bang for bucks...

Retail price around $SGD 2.6k

**I'm afraid this only applicable only for Nanyang Polytechnic students**
if gt relatives/friends/children, can take a look.. and maybe need student id to purchase... and limit number of notebook per id... probably..

it doesn't matter. what matter is, your storage type for booting, read and write data. since intel processor have hyper threading do do lots of multi tasking
