Solid chasis, powerful performance and lightweight and at that budget = Dell XPS 13' around 3.6k for std unit. Otherwise, fujitsu is probably ur nxt pick but comes at a higher price.

any idea what fujitsu model i should be looking for? their website is not very search/compare friendly

Hello to all..

Im having trouble to find suitable laptop for my 3D animation and visualization work..Im looking at quadro graphic and not gaming one..so anyone here could help me with my problem?

1. Brand - Any as long it can last long and dont give me minor or major problem..
2. Budget - RM5000 - RM6500
3. Specs - Good processor, Quadro graphic and 17 inch screen with high resolution
4. Size - I dont mind since I want to replace my desktop.

for that budget go for XPS bro...

I dont think so XPS come with quadro graphic card..XPS is for gaming user..im not looking for gaming but for 3D application such as 3Ds Max..

hi!

i wanna ask, for RM 2k-2.5k wat kinda specs can i expect to get on a new laptop? can i have decent, mid range laptop for playing games like crysis, cod 4, etc2 with medium or high setting?

U again? How many time have 2 tell you. No such laptop at 2k can play crysis or COD at med. Aduh, even powerful desktop got problems playing crysis you want laptop somemore.

For 2k you can forget playing any of those games, play dota and maple no problem. Dont even think of trying 2008 games since 2k laptop sure tak boleh.

You want 2 play crysis at med to high, you need at least 5k for good gaming laptop.

benqs42 can crysis or not? no need hgih setting..can r?

impossible to play at high setting on benq42, it will lag so much u will be looking at picture rather then moving object. Benq42 low, maybe med but will still lag. Plus screen resolution have to put very low as well.

Absolutely NO big time.

Lol, liked how u phrased that.
You're right, coz even some 4k laptops are not able to runCOD n crysis smoothly. However for those who are lil tight on budget n game really hard, thrs this acer notebook that i saw in pc fair last month around RM2999.00. It comes with 4gb ram, & a 512 mb dedicated memory gforce smtg graphic card so on n so forth. That shd allow you to play crysis at full spec. Frm what i rmb, the full range XPS only came with a 256 dedicated memory gforce 9300 or smtg, which will enable u to play crysis but prob only on mid settings.

I heard that Acer has alot of problems ?

Like quality problems and so on so for

i can only think of Lenovo... think Dell have some workstation laptops as well...

ya thats the kind of perception we all got from customer complaints. However, i had a fair share of positive comments and many ppl that i know off who use acer computers said they themselves surprisingly had no problems whatsoever after 2-3 years of usage. Long story short, i think acer is definitely not reputable for its quality compared to Fujitsu n so on, but they seem to be improving and many have got away fine with an acer laptop.
ps: [acer, u shd pay me]

dont mind low or med settings but is it playable with ben42? sometimes play with low or med means click one time and wait 1 minute for something to happen and when walk until places with enemy will just stand there then next thing u see is game over.. thats what happen with neverwinter nights 2 last time... so i mean is it playable on ben42 with low or med settings?

On a 9600gt the game is playable at low graphic setting with low resolution. Goto medium then become quite laggy.

But at low it looks terrible. You have 2 play at least med or high to appreciate the game, if not better you play cs source.

1. Brand : Any brand.
2. Budget : 2k below, but if can make it 1.8k and below would be alottt better
3. Specs : If it is possible, C2D. Else Atom also would be okay.
4. Size : Any size. Small, Big, Medium, Fat etc

Have my eyes on the HP Mini-Note, but would like all your expert advice first.

Basically, normal usage. Word processing, surfing etc.

Might be running some website editing programs and coding programs ( which I think won't be a biggy ).

Thanks in advance.

Nope, not possible. One look at the price and I can tell.
If you wanna play Crysis at high settings smoothly on a notebook, this will work:

Hey guys, I read some pages back and still couldn't make any choices. I'm posting this on behalf of my friend here, I'm more on the desktop side, not laptop and would really appreciate if you guys can suggest me some models. So here's some requirements and budget

Budget: RM2.5k or below
Requirement: Decent one, able to handle basic tasks, more on entertainment and no gaming.

Thanks in advance! *Happy CNY*

Compaq CQ40

thanks.
so I was thinking of this. What do you think?
