asus kb40ab wit AMD processor wil hot? any owner here?

ypu, hotter than Intel...

but when comes to gaming, GPU more plays a more impt role most of the time...

Thanks for the reply Astria
penang shop sell it RM 1999 with freedos, q interesting with the price and the spec..

is it suitable for doing some design & photoshop?

hot issue wil bring problem?

scared regret after bought it >.<
need some advise

for design and ps, GPU's acceleration is still pretty limited, i would rather put the money in CPU and RAM instead...

but rm2k a bit hard to get u an Intel laptop leh...

maybe try Compaq CQ40 instead la... either those with Pentium Dual Core and integrated graphic, or AMD Turion x2 with integrated HD3200... the turion option has HD3450 to choose as well...

if purely for ur work only, i prefer the Pentium choice, but if u do ve a little games after work, i would choose Turion x2 with HD3450 instead...

Thanks for your reply Astria,
but i no like the Compaq CQ40 design


Finally 3 to choose :

1 ) Dell Studio 1555, like it too.. after customize around 3.7K, but need wait nearly 3 weeks or 1 months to delivery =.= ~
no bag, no mouse.....

2) Gateway ID58, 15.6, P8600,DDR3 105M, like the design of the notebook, RM 3299
but only 105M ( Free Gateway bag )

3) K40AB, save more $ RM 1999 only , 4570 is ok for me, just scared the CPU performance & the temperature ( Free Asus Bag, Asus Mouse )


The note is use for design work ( photoshop & flash) and do some presentation when meet a client...
also use for online & play some game

@honghongnet....where are you located, between all the laptop that you listed, Dell Studio 15 have the best specs, maybe you can buy directly from any computer shop, it much more faster...

how abt Studio 14 instead???

up the CPU to at least T6400, then GPU get HD3450 instead of the integrated one... and cheaper than the Gateway as well...

seriously when comes to design work, it's good to get a better CPU...

3450 or g105m, which one better?

for design work, i would prefer ATi cards instead... conventionally, ATi gives better colour than Nvidia...

as for gaming performance, well, both are juz abt the same perormance...q

from butterworth, penang
i also think like this, buy from shop, but cant customize which i want ;(
like TOPO Black Style & Back light Keyboard.... and the default like rubber color surface will easy to scratch =.=

from dell website Dell Studio 14, 3 model for choose cant let us choose to customize the graphic card.. only X3100 to choose

That's nothing in the world that is guaranteed, you could get a Mac or Sony but they can phailed you anytime too....
Extend your warranty if you no confident....

About your laptop, since you have quite a budget there, get any laptop with discrete graphic card would do, just AVOID G8series.

thx for your feedback, appreciate it.

No prob But if you have the budget, maybe you can go for studio15 or f81se for better proc
