can, but dun expect very good performance even when used with 9600M GT...

i suggest u look for non-special model instead... they come with the latest 45nm C2D T9000s

or BenQ S42, pretty good price/performance ratio (C2D P8400 + 9600M GT)

Hi people..

I'm in the midst of buying a new laptop here..

1. Brand
I dont mind, but not Acer. Huhu.

2. Price
RM2-3.5k

3. Specs
Well, I'm not sure for this, but all I need is a laptop which can last for a few years, and heavy duty. Huhu, I've been using Toshiba for 4 years now, and ever since the first year, the fan rosak, and then second year, fan rosak again, third year, hard disk crash and cdrw rosak. Okay I admit I am using it kinda heavily, so maybe I need one which is very robust.

4. Size
I dont mind but not too small.

Anyone care to help?

Owh ya, I've asked some friends for a new laptop, without mentioning the specs I want, and a few recommended Macbook. Is Macbook good?

if u are well verse then yes... if u r not i would not recommend it. pricing wise it will be more than ur budget (a lot). from this price, ppl here would recommend u the benq s42. i suppose? but ur budget is too large... i mean range...

Hey ppl. I need help too...
Going to start college soon. Studying business stuff. Also like to surf web and play online games.

1) Brand
No idea. Dunno which brand is best.
2) Budget
Below RM2800...
3) Spec
High speed, good graphic
4)Size
A light as possible. 14' or 15'

Acer really that bad? Heard lots of complains before...

Oh ya. Would like to know which processor is the best now. Dual Core or Core2 Duo or Centrino?

Oh is it the price range too high? Well I think I'll put it 3 -3.5k. Hehe. One more thing, I'm an engineering student. So I will be using MATLAB or AutoCAD and some other softwares and also for playing games so I wish for a laptop that can handle these softwares. I've looked at Macbook, but dun think so would consider it. I think some of the softwares like the AutoCAD is not compatible with it, need to boot using windows pulak, kinda complicated, so anybody would recommend any laptop? BenQ is it good? I've never seen it closely before.

Centrino2 is the current king in terms of performance : battery life ratio And also full Wireless N support. I would get something from Dell with that budget. Acers ... generally have lousier build quality and bad heat dissipation.

I'm doing engineering also. You don't need anything high end for those programs. Yeap, the BenQ is a good buy.But if you can wait, try waiting for a month or so , since it's almost xmas... the time when product releases become much more frequent

ubikeledek, if this is the case, all ppl will recommend u the s42, as it has the best gc, 9600m gt. no other brand has this card with that pricing.

guys...i going to buy a labtop too, and i'm really interested in getting a gaming labtop. Those with 17" screens or so... any recomendations for the cheapest gaming labtop around? I am in love with dell M1730..but the $ is too omg...any labtops cheaper than that? oe all 17" labtops are at that price....

how is BenQ's S42 at the moment? WOw it really is cheap. My budget around 4k...anybody got beter recomendation worth the price? Benq S42...tempting~

Your specifications ?

any laptops can game, it's juz a mater of how smooth and high setting it is...

17"??? prepare to fork out at least 7k to get it.. not to mention building up some muscles if u need to carry it around often...

other choices are:

Asus G50V - 15.4", 9700M GT, approx. RM6k
BenQ S42 - 14.1", 9600M GT, approx. RM3.4k
Compaq CQ40 - 14.1", HD 3450, RM2k+

lol no nid 7k...M1730 only 6.9k on website and about 6k+ from the dealers in LYN....

i need a suggestion....

budget rm3000

good mobility & portability is a must (that mean screen must be not more than 13")

decent graphic card...

no heat problem...

long battery life..

if possible comes with 250GB harddisk...

last but not least, HDMI & VGA output (or s-video)...

that's 7k to me!

anyway, mayb u should give some spec for us to help u out?
