thx 4 your recommendation..anyway

AutoCAD is a CAD (Computer Aided Design) software application for 2D and 3D design and drafting, developed and sold by Autodesk, Inc.

its for architecture thing..
so thats mean my future lappy need good graphics

hmm.if not mistaken, Nvidia Quadro is more suitable for 3d design and as such...so i think you should look out for lappies with it?not sure which lappie has Quadro GC..sorry

thx for the info..
i might consider it coz i checked the specs.. and ya the graphic is gud..
its time for me to do the price searching.. xD

Well it really depends on what type of games u play?No point having a high end GC when u play only Warcraft or Counter Strike right?

Well if you are into more demanding games such as Crysis,World in Conflict etc drool.gifi suggest topping up about a few hundred ringgit for the BenQ S57(better processor and GPU) which is about 4K.

If you just play light games,then better not go for S42 as there might be heat and temperature issues.Correct me if I'm wrong smile.gif

Cheers!

1. Brand- Any brand really thats reknowned. (why do so many people hate Acer?)
2.Looking for around 250GB space minimum
3. Minimum 2GB RAM
4. Preferable processer- core 2 duo
5. Looking for a graphics card that can play FIFA 09? (can an ATI Radeon 256mb handle that?)
6. 14-15" screen's fine
7. Budget is 3k

EDIT: Found a beautiful Studio 15 Dell laptop customizable.
Just wondering, will an 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 GC be able to play FIFA 09 well?
*
Studio 15 is a good choice mate but have u considered BenQ S42?It has a 9600M GT GC which is faster than the 4570.A letdown would be that its only 14".

About the 4570 being able to play well really depends on the resolution and the settings.U might wanna google benchmarks of the 4570 for that particular game.And i dunno whether FIFA 2009 is that demanding anyway.

What type of games?If just like Warcraft or CS,dont really need discrete GPU.GMA4500HD is enough for your needs.

IMO,for 2.5k the best would be the STUDIO 15 2GHZ and HD4570 if not mistaken smile.gif

for this one,i need clarification on this..i know some say Intel GC is enough for DOTA or CS..
but some intel performance are bad..
yes,both can run..and its playable..but what i'm seeking is

1.for Dota,does it lag when there are too many creeps or spells thrown around the screen?(default setting)
2.for CS,can it play CS Source (not 1.6)without any lag?(default setting also)

really appreciate feedback from who has tested this..Intel 4500MHD owners especially or other Intel integrated cards..

i know,but my budget is tight.for 3k max what do u recon astria?the most i can get..any other models beside studio 15?

Mate, i am using a Fujitsu S7110 with C2D 1.83 GHZ,GMA 950(128MB),1.5GB RAM.

Playing dota no lag,frames drop whatsoever.Dunno abt CS though tongue.gif

4500HD>>X3100>>GMA950

You can top up until 3.5k for an S42 with 9600GT

256 MB is sufficient because S42's screen resolution is only WXGA(1280X800).However, 512MB is normally needed for higher resolutions such as Full HD since the GPU can fully utilize its 512MB

Am i right or wrong? hmm.gif

guys i need some advice.

i've been spotting the Asus N50vc but after looking at the keyboard it seems that its quite pack and crowded.

so i was thinking of looking at other laptops. are there any laptops with similiar specs and price?

i'm working and use the laptop everyday at work and will be carrying it around when on audits (working in an audit firm).

so i was thinking of getting a lappy that can fulfill the working environment and yet act as an entertainment laptop after work.

i don't play high end graphic games and maybe want to try some mid or low graphic games.

any other laptop recommendations?

i spotted the white asus F8 laptop 14" prices around 3k too.

so confused now... which to get and which is more worthwhile.
