I’m actually looking for a 13 or 13.3” laptop that’s not too bulky, has a non-glossy surface & comes with built-in dvd rom. I’m torn between these 5 laptops. I think their specs are about the same. My budget is abt rm3.5k-4.5k. Can anyone suggest which is better?

1. dell inspiron 13z
2. dell vostro 1320
3. fujitsu s6421
4. sony vgn-sr55gf/b
5. toshiba portege m900

Btw, what’s the difference between a wxga tft screen & a wxga led screen?

usage? any specific weight? battery life?

led is supposed to have brighter screen with less power usage.

i'll be using it more for office applications, net surfing, music & a bit of download. it should come preloaded with windows 7, weight less than 2kg & have a 4- 6 cell batt i.e. long lasting, preferably.

non-glossy surface is kinda hard, even the dell vostro 1320 lid is glossy.
toshiba m900 is not that good in battery life also weighted at 2.2kg.
sony sr55 with hd4570, for your need you wouldn't need the dedicated gpu, since its just wasting battery life and produced more heat.
fujitsu, no comment. looks like it has glossy body.
inspiron 13z, have the best battery life out of those, but performance wise is weaker than all of them, but sufficient for office and net surfing.

for your need, any of those would do.
out of those, if interested in gaming, go with asus k40ab, it also got 2 years international warranty.
if still want better warranty, get dell inspiron and up the warranty.

Thanks Lee for your wonderful opinion..BenQ S42 is definately out of my range..haha..too expensive for me...

Dell Studio 15 is on my mind now for the affordable price with graphic card, 4gb ram and 2.0 megapixel camera at the price of RM2699..only think i dun like is they are heavy..

Dell Studio 14 might be on my list too if the price is lowered a little bit..

Anyway..PC Fair is just around the corner..so i will go there and have a look before making my final decision..

Thanks a lot once again..

you do realize that hp dv2 1003ax is using single core?
better stick with dual core when comes to photoshop.

Yeah this is a no brainer. You are unlikely to get a more powerful gaming laptop at that price. The fact it has a low native resolution means better frame rates for your games.

actually studio 15 is light considering its 15''.
if want similiar spec but less weight, Toshiba l510-s438, it *might* have the same performance as studio 15, but still no users confirming the vram being used on the hd4570.

gpu is for displaying image on the montior, but can be separated into dedicated and integrated gpu, which dedicated has better performance in gaming but eats more battery, on the other hand, integrated gpu is fine for everything except gaming.
