i'm buying new laptop...
got budget around 3400...
which model should i buy???
spec should be able for gaming...
appreciate ur help...
pm me pls

maybe can try hp compaq preseria F700 series.. there's one selling for around 1799 i think.. i got mine from pc fair 1.5k..

oh crapp.. just realised.. it's AMD. OMG. u wanted intel.. sorry sorry..

Added on June 12, 2008, 5:45 pmmaybe.... dell inspiron 1520? i think for 3.5k u can get nice specs.. suitable for gaming purposes..

Thanks for the quick reply. I actually posted the wrong specs. Was too tired last night

The actual specs:



And it only cost RM1799

Any comments on this?
I also took a look at the 4920G model you suggested. Just had a price drop to RM2999, with ATI HD 2400XT. Seems good too, but would I require the graphics processing power for photoshop, and some heavy Flash or powerpoint presentations?

Thanks in Advance.

NVIDIA GEFORCE 8400 GS with 128MB GDDR3 dedicated memory

VS

NVIDIA GEFORCE 8600 GT with 256MB GDDR2 dedicated memory

Which one is better? I heard DDR3 is better than DDR2 but GT is better than GS, how?

hi i dun realy know the difference between ddr2 and ddr3.
but the thing im sure is nvidia G 8600gt is way much beter ythan its 8600 gs or 8400 gt.

For a clearer information check this out http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphi...List.844.0.html

DDR3 running @ a higher speed as compare to DDR2,
but the other factors which affects the graphic performance is the graphic chipsets it's using and the totaly pipelines available in the chipsets.
1. the Bits it's running (128/256)
2. total Pipelines
3 core and ram speed.

these 3 components determine the performance of a 3D graphic card.
Both 8600 and 8400 uses 128bit chipsets. only 6800, 7800, 8800 above uses 256Bit graphic engine.
total pipelines depends on the pixel shaders and vertex shaders, last time they only use pipeline, now they divided into 2 components.
8600 running on 32, and 8400 running on 16.
another words, in the same settings, 8600 performance is actually doubles 8400.
then we look @ the core and mem speed.
8600 (475/700 in DDR3, 475/500 in DDR2) while 8400 (400/600)

now i'l show you the rough idea how we actually calculate the 3D performance based on these 3 markers, it's not very accurate, but it's one of the standard way to calculate the perfomance in overclocking in relative to another 3D card of the same model.

8600 (128 bits) 8400 ( 128 Bits) par
8600 ( 32 pipelines) 8400 (16 pipelines)- 8600 will double performance is vertex and pixel processing
8600 DDR2 ( 475/500) 8400GS DDR3 ( 400/600) means 8600 is about 18% faster in core speed performance, and 20% lost in terms of memory speed. overrall- i'll say both the chipset's core and mem speed par..

however since 8600 is 2 times faster in pixels and vertex processing as compare to 8400...

the conclusion is that, whatever 3D GRAPHIC which 8400GS is processing, 8600GT will double it's performance.

now we look back to 8600GT and 8600GS
8600GS DDR3( 600-650/700), 16 pipelines, 128bits.
8600GT DDR3 (450-475/700), 32 pipelines, 128bits.

by right 8600GT doubles the performance in pixel processing.
but 8600GS has a hgher corespeed about 26%-30% faster. Core speeds plays a more important role in determine the 3D processing speed as compare to memory speeds and total pipelines. there are other causes which affects the total performance such as bios configurations, types of memory it's using, the default core and mem speed set by manufacturers.
theoritically, 8600GT should be about 60% faster than GS, but due to the reasons i mentioned, you wont actually get those figures mentioned in theory calculations...

next we'll go over to 8600GT (475/700) and 8700GT (625/800)
both are 128 Bits, 32 pipelines, running on G84M chipset
in terms of core speed, 8700GT is 31% faster and 11% faster in memory clock speed.
what you'll expect is about 40% performance extra compare 8700GT to 8600GT
look at the 3Dmark06
8700GT- 4500-4700
8600GT- 3200-3400 (default)



NOT APPLICABle in ATI cards because the New cards using different system

1.)toshiba,dell,hp,asus,benq,compaq but not acer

2.)3k-3.5k

3.)at least -intel core 2 duo T7xxx processor ,ATI X2400 above , nvidia 8400GS above ,ram 2gb above(maximum upgrade to 4gb)

4.)normal size

maybe can try inspiron or vostro laptops from dell.. i think around 3.5k if u modify to ur specs.. i think la..

hey guys..i just came back from lowyat just now and theres this guy told me that there is an asus laptop that cost around 4.5k and with nvidia 9500 graphic card and processor T9100..what's the model of this laptop?

maybe it's this. found this on notebookreview.com
http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?...Home+Premium%29

it's from the m50 series, not sure what model you saw.

Thanks...

I just came back from Low Yat, I bought a Dell Inspiron 1420 for 2200 (I dont know whether I was ripped off or not), I dont need a better laptop cause I dont game a lot...

is there any dell centre around low yatt that sells laptop with the specs i want.

or its only possible through online

IIANM got shops selling dell there, but dunno authorised anot. i think in LYP there's so far only one authorised dell reseller. forgot the name of the shop already. midvalley got a dell center. maybe you can go there also.

sorry but what does iiam stands for. in dell centre mid valley is it possible to buy/order laptop with the specs i want

woh.. really??? plz let me know also..

IIANM = if i am not mistaken
sorry if it made u blur.

i think so, since dell lets you configure your specs based on your budget. not really sure coz i never gone in before to ask.

im looking for toshiba laptop as for my gaming laptop..and i saw it in Us website, the X205-S9810
http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/cmod.to?coid=-33936
does any1 knows how much it cost in malaysia?either this or of the same specs of it..thx

Hi guys,

I have a budget of around 3.8k

Can any of u advice what is the specs that i should get with that budget for laptop? thanks: )

dell inspiron perhaps? the specs u can go to their website and change..

Can anyone suggest me a very portable laptop. It has to be small and light but has really good ram/harddisk space/graphic cards.

I have no budget yet and I don't mind any brands.
