Is there some one can tell me which of the comperformance computer Notebooks are the most people using and got a good performance?? note: middle price at about (RM4000~RM4999). Long life hardware and smooth software THANK FOR HELPING EVERYONE!!!
Well, with a budget of 5K there is quite a few notebooks out there within the range. Let's not talk about the locally assembled ones like FTEC or Targa, but name branded ones. it's quite important for support to be absolutely good as there's not much you can do yourself if the notebook goes dead. Anyways... if you need it to game well, make sure it comes with a discreet GPU from ATI or Nvidia, the integrated Intel graphics is good for 2D stuffs but it's a non performer for 3D apps/games.
...maybe this one should do the job more that PERFECT! Acer Ferrari 4000 Laptop Ooooooopppppssssssssss...sorry...wrong one...I thought we were talking about budget of RM40000-RM49999....
Since you are into gaming, you should definitely look for a notebook using discrete graphics chips from NVIDIA or ATI. Forget about the NVIDIA Go5xxx or ATI Rage series. Go for the better GPUs like the NVIDIA Go6600 or ATI X300 (the two more common mobile GPUs in Malaysia). As for processor, generally, any Intel Pentium M processor will do just fine. The local dealers like to call them Centrino, but really, it's the Pentium M processor. Go for more memory and a larger hard disk. Spring for 1GB of memory if you can. Get at least 60GB of hard disk space, if not 80GB. Stay away from 40GB if you can help it. Depending on your needs, you may want to consider an integrated DVD writer, instead of a CD/DVD combo drive. But honestly, getting a dual-layer DVD writer right now is overkill. It's hard to find affordable dual-layer media. But no matter what we tell you here, you have to personally inspect the notebook and get a feel for it. See if you like the weight, design, build quality. Also, you need to inspect the LCD display. See if you like the display quality and viewing angle.
Yeah... and Dell's specs are pretty good sometimes! especially when there's special promos like free upgrades to 512MB RAM or DVD burners.... they even come with 7200RPM hard disk nowadays
check out the MSI and gigabyte, especially the former.. you definitely wont disappoint with it.. Im so surprised they have gone this far... true display, fully equipped, respectable spec..
you may wanna take a llok at the acer aspire 1690 series, cause that's what i'll be getting myself next month. And with a X700 128mb video card, its a steal for less than RM5k.
The X700 on the aspire 1690 will satisfy your gaming needs, depending on your expectations..hehe I've used an asus with a x700 and played quake 4, doom3 and FEAR..although medium settings or less, it's quite playable and fun and for less than RM5k, it'll be worth your consideration but of course do check out the after sales service
