Hi,

I've got a stupid question here, is a wide screen laptop suitable to play games. Will the graphics be streched out due to the wide screen.

Cheers

Yes. Actually I think widescreen notebook is not practical. Unless you always want to view document side by side (like when doing programming) and want to always watch DVD. Else, a lot of application will look weirdo.

guess wat...
b4 i started on wide screen.. i hv the same opinion..
but after i got used to it... looking at normal screen seems weird... the horizontal view space seems "not enough"...

if i remember correctly, there's a thread in Gamers Hideout which provides a link to some sites to get fix/work-around for playing games under wide screen....

wide screen is fun... the horizontal view space is wide n that saves u a few line to scroll..

though, i hvnt done any programming, screen design especially, on wide screen yet... not sure if the output will be weird...
normal applications might feels a bit "weird" if u r picky about extra space around the usuall type area in Microsoft Word, for example. Lowyat.net seems a bit wide as well... haha....

but... all depends on personal preference... nvr know if u didnt try...

Aris mobile notebook

list of note book they sell.. some model quit nice also..

but the price not sure..


i prefer to have a iBook also.. is really nice.. and worth..

aris is a local brand?

went to lowyat few days ago ask for notebook thing .....
notice most of the shops are recommeding asus , benq , and essential ,aris ... are these brands getting lower cost so they can mark up more than other brand ?? hmm .... some really quite attractive ..but the problem i scare they are from taiwan and not famous well known brand ..got problem then die ....afterall i'm paying quite a lot of money wohhhh


actually ..just thinkin of getting 1 around 4k .... centrino other thing is ok lo ...if got udner 4k then best ...not for gaming also ... just online for quite a long time .... hmmm anyone ... how ?

yea...mee to...but my budget only around RM3500 - 3700 max....

at least with centrino...any idea....? pleazzzzzz......

maybe got ..... not branded lo ....
but hard la centrino around 4k ++ sure got lo

well, FYI most of the ODMs/OEMS are from taiwan & China. xcept fujitsu and sony are made in japan IIRC.

and wat do u mean Asus, Benq getting lower cost in order to mark up more?
price vary becoz of configuration/specifications and also the built/design.

Asus, HP, Fujitsu, Benq and some other are well known brand.
Aris, Essential are quite new to the market, estabalished locally IIRC.

Looking for a Centrino below rm4k? try ur luck with Aris, Essential, Prestigio, Hyundai M-Life, Techdos (if i left out any brand...sorry la, can't remember all)
Twinhead AMD based laptop also got.

or how bout Celeron M based notebooks, basically it's a crippled Pentium M Banias core, with 1/2 of the L2 cache and also advance power saving feauter. Acer has some, price vary from rm3.6k~rm4.4k

cheers. just my 2cents.

thanks man !
maybe i'll still go to better well known brand name ? dell or compaq kuah .. maybe asus !
hmm ..

Thanks guys.....coz I'm interested in a laptop with a 15.4 screen which I think I am getting a good price. Was hoping to play some occasional games on it. Worried if the wide screen will cause the graphics to be streched. The shop said that it will not but wanted some comments from actual users just to be sure.

Cheers

hope u will satisfied with ur choice thenlater on

What? Dont get it

i m looking for 1 laptop .....budget is rm4.3k below.....must be ringan (ard 2.5kg below)...must got international warranty(cos going to bring it to UK)....what brand recommended le?

hey, im a new a noob compared to most in the laptop world, i was just wondering, if i were to look for a laptop, not caring bout size or weigt, just using to save space on my desk, what else should i be looking for, not really intrested in gaming, but wanting to watch movie, good sound and fast speed, what would the price range be?? and what laptops are recommended?
