Laptop buying guide

2 years ago i bought my first laptop for further studies
and i did a lot of research on all laptop
here to share with you guys :)

firstly, of course your budget
if budget is not your problem, then you may skip this

Choice for budget within range

< RM1500	netbook, normal word processing and web access
RM1501-RM2200	low end graphic card, light gaming, multimedia purpose
RM2201-RM3000	mid range spec, enough for gaming
RM3001-RM4000	more than enough for gamer or designer
>RM4001	for rich freak

second is the brand, everyone is asking which brand is better
in Malaysia there are few brands of laptop selling nationwide
click the brand name to access into their website

Acer - a lot of critise on this brand. for few years ago, yes! acer laptop is horrible. But recently they do improved a lot and quality better and low price to get a good spec. mostly 3 years warranty

Asus - well known brand. nice quality but a little over price. good choice for high budget buyer.

Dell - worry about after sales service? get dell. their after sales service is the best! but they only free 1 year and it's hell expensive to extend warranty.

Fujitsu - not really sure about this brand. but it offers middle range notebook.

HP - 2 lines of product. Compaq and Pavilion. Compaq is economic wise laptop. offer free DOS. Pavilion is more classy look laptop and higher spec. but of course much more expensive also

Lenovo - quite hot selling brand in west malaysia. not really know about this brand also. mid range laptop.

Sony - not recommended brand. they are good in look. but is way too pricey. within rm3000-rm4000 range, but it's spec you can get it for around rm2500 with other brand.

Toshiba nice brand either. a little pricey but can get nice spec.

For extreme gaming purpose, is better if you go for a clone desktop. email me if you need assistance :)
but 1 or 2 years ago, dell got the authorised reseller for alienware.
for gamer you can look for alienware at dell website.
but for 11" laptop will cost you almost rm4000.
another is Sager, also a well known gaming laptop brand, but it don't has reseller over malaysia.

oh ya, i left out an important brand. APPLE MACBOOK!
i dont know much about macbook. i just know it's a luxury stuff.
running with MAC OS. thats all.

the next thing is SIZE.
11", 13", 15", 17", 18"
these 5 sizes are more common size of laptop
and this is the diagonal screen size

which size you are more suitable with?
do the measurement and decide yourself!

following is the specification (spec),
is the main concern of buying laptop for myself.
bear in mind, there are only 2 hardware are upgradable for laptop.
harddisk and RAM.
processor, GPU, display, wifi, bluetooth all built in with motherboard.

processor -
i3, i5, i7 depend on yourself. i5 and i7 have turbo boost technology. which can boost your core speed higher like 2.0Ghz to 2.9Ghz. cache speed is the speed of transferring data with your system. 3MB, 4MB, 6MB and so on.

display -
HD screen display and FULL HD screen display. HD screen is common for mostly laptop and it's max resolution is 1366x768. FULL HD screen normally is used for high end laptop and the max resolution can be set as 1920x1080. Bluray movie required FULL HD screen to see the effect.

RAM -
2GB, 3GB, 4GB, 8GB. this can be upgrade even after few years. nowadays most of laptops are using DDR3. how many GB you need and how many GB your system can support. please refer here.

harddisk -
320GB, 500GB, 640GB. nothing much to concern about this one. if your space are not enough, there are a lot of external harddisk in the market. but there are few types of harddisk. the normal one, and SSD (Solid State Drive). SSD is getting hot in the market. but the price is damn expensive. when it's just release, is 1GB for RM10. which mean 64GB SSD will cost you RM640. But SSD drive has their advantage. Will explain this further next time. 7200rpm and 5400rpm. rpm is round-per-minute of the harddisk processing. 7200rpm can process data faster than the normal one.

GPU -
also known as graphic processing unit. simple saying is your graphic card. for gamers, you should know this very well. there are various of graphic card model in the market. if you not sure which graphic card is better. you may refer this link.

WIFI -
usually you will see 802.11b/g/n at your wifi card section. b/g/n refer to the signal strength. if your wifi card can support up to n will be better. but also need to check whether if your wireless router support N or not.

Window -
some laptop offer freeDOS. freeDOS is without install window inside. original window 7 cost around rm300-rm600. freeDOS laptop will become cheaper. no window how to run? no worries. you may request the shop to install a pirated window. no harm to your laptop, just that you cant update your window as usual.

that's all for the specification detail of laptop.
choose wisely because a laptop is not really a cheap stuff for most people.
dont get attracted by those FREE 10 MYSTERY GIFT! seller. those accessories are damn cheap and no quality.

How to determine performance of game at your system

There is a term called FPS in graphic performance.
FPS is known as Frame Per Second or Frame Rate.
Gamers can know how high-end that the system can support.
normally FPS of typical LCD monitor is locked at 60fps.
the higher the fps, the graphic of the game is better.
but the maximum is 60 for normal LCD monitor.
To know the fps value of a certain game.
you can use a software call FRAPS (DOWNLOAD)
after installing this program, run it and minimize it.
then open your game and play it.
a yellow color number will appear on top left corner.
that is your FPS value.

if the range is between 45-60, your video card can support it very well.
if the range is between 30-45, you still can play smoothly.
if the range is between 20-30, quite laggy game.
if the range is below 20, you may uninstall the game directly.

FRAPS not only can display the FPS when you are gaming,
it also can take screenshot or video from your game.
you have to make a shortcut key to record the screenshot on FRAPS.
try it! =)

Difference between HTTP and HTTPS

HTTP is stand for Hypertext Transfer Protocol.
You will always see HTTP in front of your link.
What is the S at behind?
It is stand for SECURE.
When you send an information to a web server,
and you are using HTTP,
your computer will send the information to
web server and hackers are possible
to get anything that you key in.
HTTPS let you directly connecting with the web server,
so no one can get the info in the middle of it.
So if you are trying to key in some important info like
credit cards number, online banking, etc.
PLEASE make sure that your web address is with HTTPS!
mostly website that have to entering password
is using HTTPS automatically.
Spread this around to avoid your friends get scammed!

Why can't copy file to external harddisk even with a lot of space?

your harddisk still got tons of space
but you are trying to copy a large file
it shows a error message
"The file is too large for the destination file system"
usually this happened when u trying to copy a ISO file or full HD movie file

see the format type is NTFS or FAT32
FAT32 format type is only allowed max file size with 4gb
if a single file that is larger than 4gb
it cannot be copy to the FAT32 harddisk

while if is NTFS harddisk,

How a gaming mouse affect your gaming experience?

Some people think that gaming mouse and normal mouse are the same
just depends on your skill, is it real?
recently i just found out that beside DPI (dots per inch)
is the speed of the mouse, the higher the number, the faster the mouse arrow moves
some high end gaming mouse DPI can be up to 6000dpi
if you are using a 50inch tv with hdmi connected to your computer,
yes u can use that
if you are just using a 14inch laptop, 1600-2000dpi is more than enough for you
a simply cheap mouse is only 800dpi

and one more thing you need to compare before buying a mouse
is the usb polling rate.
response time of the mouse,
mean how many times the device send back information to the system
for a normal mouse is 125hz..
which mean it will response 125 times in 1 second
or response once in 8ms
for gaming mouse the polling rate is 500hz-1000hz
mean response up to 1000 times in 1 second
some mouse are originally came with 125hz
but it can be overclock to higher polling rate
here is the way to overclock your mouse to a higher polling rate
GUIDE

so for heavy gamers, buy a better mouse for better gaming experience
