Hi guys,

I m looking for a gaming laptop to play 3 games which is Red Alert 3, Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 smoothly. Below are my requirements and budget.

Budget : Max RM 5k ++
GPU : Nvidia 9600GT DDR3
Monitor : 15.4 inch or above
RAM : At least 3 GB
Processor : Minimum Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor (2.0GHz)
Brand : Any brand except ACER

Please help me evaluate based on price / performance ratio based on my budget. I dun care abt the looks and etc. So far I m keeping an eye on Dell Studio XPS 16 , HP HDX 16t and MSI GX620. Is the gc for Dell Studio XPS 16 comparable with 9600 GT? And please let me know whether I will waste my money by getting a laptop with 9600 GT just to play these 3 games...

Thx..Any feedback will be appreciated.........

is there anyone here know about hyundai m-life laptop?

is this laptop good?suitable for a student?

xps studio gc slighty lousier than 9600gt..so i think u should go for MSI..

cheaper option for 9600 will be the infamous BenQ S42 for Rm3600 or so?But screen is only 14"

Can anyone tell that the latest proessor consumes much less power, how to know which procesor it is ? Which laptop offers ? Generally how many hours a decent laptop can last with word processing and wer surfing activity ? What about the latest that claims save power ? Really no eye deer. Getting my 1st laptop.

the first, the single most important thing, BUDGET. do state your budget.
then state your requirement. portability? gaming? size? weight? yada yada?

as for latest processor power consumption, lemme see.
there's the Intel Atom. the N2XX series has a max TDP of 2.5W. the N5XX series has 2W
the P series centrino2 has 35W TDP IIRC. the centrino2 SP series has a max TDP of 25W.

then there's the ULV, UL, SL, them low voltage series which i don't really recomend since the Atom is 1.6Ghz
battery time are mostly affected by screen size, backlighting, gc, and proc. varies from 1hour to 6-7 hours between models.
with just word and web surfing? again, between 1hour - 6/7 hours

Then what abt HP HDX16t? How is it compare to Dell Studio XPS 16 and MSI GX620 in terms of performance? This MSI brand is kinda new to me. Can anyone enlighten me abt whether this product is reliable? Very seldom hear ppl own MSI laptops..

Thx...

I heard HDX 16t using ddr2 gc? better comfirm first...

a DELL XPS or a TOSHIBA M800

i don't much about the specs but the price are RM2,999 and RM3,999 respectively.....

Hi, I'm planning to get a NEC6300 but I don't really know much about the brand.

Is NEC a good brand? I know they've been in this line for very long but in terms of laptops its pretty unheard of.

Does anyone know about the quality of NEC laptops?

can someone recomen me a laptop that use ati 3450 or 3470 256mb....
prefer compaq or asus..
budget is around 2.5K...
mayb can up the budget sikit, but cannot exceed 3K if posible

1. Brand - any that doesn't give me too much problems.

2. Budget - RM 2500

3. Specs - Eh.... I don't know. Can do regular stuff like download stuff, go online, watch videos, use Word and power point, maybe play some mmorpg games. Something along those lines?

4. Size - not too heavy? I might need to bring it to college.


Eh, just in case, can pm me personally so I know my q is answered? Sorry guys absolutely clueless person here.

hello

just wanna ask opinion.

i saw a HP laptop, with

intel core 2 duo 2.4
ram 2gb
320gb hdd
geforce 9200gs 512 dedicated

and the price is RM4k

high chances thatt im buying that laptop
just wanna ask is the laptop worth buying and the gcard, is it good enuff to play games? esp RA3, mayb fable2 if released for pc, fm, minesweeper..
is the gcard gud enuff to play new games coming out for the next couple of years?

thx

Honestly the GC is not good enough, or should i say it sucks in gaming? for new games they only can run on low setting, or worst, not playable at all. Its not a gaming laptop but more to a multimedia type. With that budget i would suggest you to get benq s42.

hey guys, wat is freedos?

reliability is the problem for MSI ...only if ur willing to take the risk..or not go for other brand...

Budget : Around 3k
GPU : /
Monitor : 15 inch or above
RAM : At least 3 GB
Processor : /
Brand : DELL studio 15 or DELL XPS m1530

I want it for gaming (dota, CS..), doing assignment (bring to school), watch movie, online

Go for Dell Studio, it a newer model compared to XPS and it is cheaper than XPS too. Peformance wise, Studio will suit your needs with its P8600 processor and 3gb ram, Hd4570 is a GC that can cater your gaming needs.

I think so too.. thanx for ur answer

thx for the recommendation..

been reading bout the benq s42 and im kinda like it.

how bout asus laptops?

radeon 3470 vs geforce 9600.. which one should i go for?

cheerios
