I notice you guys budget for laptops a low, very low. Some at 2k or 3k for gaming laptop. And your only recourse is the benq 42. Personally i wouldnt go for it since build and the looks arent that good.

Hi guys....
Need to buy new notebooks

brand - anything other than acer

budget - less than 2.5k

spec - Good processor, can use for very long, use to do basic work, hdd 160GB and more.

size - not to heavy to carry around

what model can i get with budget around 2-2.5k?
for office work and playing media, if can play games is better.

ram must 2gb
hdd 120/160gb is ok, coz i already have 500gb external
clear webcam
bluetooth/wifi
not so bad speaker
good screen, 14/15inch
integrated gc is alright, but if can get a decent one would be better since game is not my priority
the most important thing, >1 year international warranty

seems like too much eh.. but i dunno bout laptop, still using pc now, but plan to change to laptop since i'll be going oversea soon..

Hi, I'm new here in LYN. I need to get a laptop/notebook but I'm all confused with the brands the specifications. Did some research around but it got me even more confuse.

Budget: Would be around RM3600, best if below RM4000 (the balance will be throw in for an external hdd either 1TB or 500GB) Can't afford a MacBook Pro

Brand: Not that particular, perhaps if u stream down to my requirements. Initially I am very interested with the Dell XPS M1530 due to the pricing which suits my budget. But after strolling around the forum, saw some review saying that the graphic card is a time bomb or equivalent, therefore, it's out of my list already.

Size: Anything above 14"inch. (14"inch is still acceptable). Weight as long as not heavier than 3KG.

Build/Appearance: Standard. Black is the standard color I suppose.

Specifications: Must have a graphic card. Processor must be 2.0Ghz above, HDD at least 160GB above (is this a standard size that come together with new notebook?), Webcam, Good Screen for graphics and video, Acceptable Sound and etc specs that comes along with the notebook.

Requirements: For graphics design purposes, adobe series, video editing, gaming that can support DOTA (this is why I write off the XPS due to the graphic card issue), Listen music, Watch drama, MSN, foruming and etc...

Please advice. Many thanks in advance.

Cheers.

Hi, i'm gonna upgrade a new laptop here~ Need help please.

1. Brand: Any would do
2. Budget: rm2,000-3,000
3. Specs: A good processor (Prefer dual Core or above), a good graphic card (able to play almost all latest game), a webcam, Vista Home (Premium/ Basic), Ram (1-2gb), Wi-Fi
4. Size: Doesn't really matter (Not too heavy though)

I'm a student, who needs a computer which is able to do work without lag and can play game too.

Best if the laptop is able to multitask without a problem. Thx!!!

1. i will choose dell because their warranty is good...since u student, dell warranty make u no worry.
2. if u wana play all the latest games etc, ur budget seems too low....if you can raise abit around rm3500 ....
3. look for dell xps, see which spec suit u since xps model all is nice
4. 12"-15" is more suitable, 17" is too big already.

if you wan cheaper gaming machine, can look for dell inspiron with graphic card.. it cheap too..XD

His budget is enough to buy a laptop that can play latest games albeit at low settings.

If the XPS comes with Nvidia 8 series gpu, forget it. XPS Studio is a better choice.

ya...better go for studio.. the xps nvidia 8 series gpu sucks big time...

Not suck in performance, have some quality issue with it.

the 8 series gpu just need to do some tweak and look for the correct driver then should be ok, but yet, if for newbie is quite hard to solve it.
dell studio design is quite nice too and they sell for rm2999 only which is also a good deal.

Mind elaborating on this? You mean there's a way (via software) to permanently fix the faulty hardware problem?

Hi all. I'm interested in getting a new laptop to replace my old faithful Dell 6400.

Anyone can recommend any model to me.

I wanted to buy Macbook at first but scared I have issue using it as the OS is very new to me. And scared can't install my current Microsoft office in it. TT.

But I have a look at the new Sony and fall in love with the new Sony 13.3 inch laptop. But cost almost same as Macbook aluminum version. Any suggestion on what should i get guys and girls

Thanks to all sifu for reading my post ^^

Specs.

Size.
not too heavy to be carry around.. a average weight will be accepted..

lately i go for the pc shop n found out tat BenQ Joybook Q41 look ok for me but the budget is a bit too high + no webcam(look so to me...)...
Any other suggestion can be given?

Thx All Pro for reading my post here..~

no..its just hard to find a good driver to come with it...alot of drivers also got problem with it...

Hi all, thx for helping me out awhile ago. Actually, i have done a survey on laptops. I have brought it down into few and would like your help please.

The following are:
(i)CQ40
AMD Turion 64bitX2 Dual 2.1ghz
250 SATA HDD
2gb Ram
HD ATI 3200 (1407mb)
Vista Starter
Price:Rm2899

(ii) X59SR
Core 2 Duo p8400 2.26ghz
250gb HDD
4gb Ram
Vista Premium
ATI Radeon 512mb
Price:Rm3299

Thank you alot~

I'd go with the X59SR because the heat generated is way lesser, battery life is longer and of course the cpu is more powerful. Not forgetting the better build quality.
