Asus k40ab, amd ql-65, ati hd4570, 2 years international warranty, rm 1999

means after the payment is cleared, they are ready to ship it, no need to wait 7-14 working days.

the spec
processor: amd ql-65 2.1ghz
video card: ati hd4570

it should be, but there's might have shop give excuse because of windows 7, they increase it by rm 100+ (for old stocks with windows vista)

well, I do recommend order directly form DELL if you can wait for the delivery time

it will be delivered next business day once the payment cleared

dell studio 15, use the rest budget to increase the warranty.
or benq s42, 14'' ,free dos, p8700 & nvidia 9600m gt

well, if you are more concern on aftersale, do consider dell notebook.
generally, benq services is good.

if you want to game, better take k40ab.

well, how you define light gaming?

well, even if its some time, still it is gaming.
and intel 4500mhd is not gaming-friendly

equivalent to nvidia 9700m gt or slightly below ati hd4650.

what are your usage? budget?

well, asus k40ab or lenovo g450 with g210m would give better overall performance

yup~

can't treat like that, no one can say for sure how long the product will stay how long.

DDR3 is definitely will be the future, but still need some time to be mainstream.

as for now, DDR3 and DDR2 doesn't give any significant improvement since its the fsb on core 2 duo that limit it.
DDR3 using 1.5v while DDR2 using 1.8v, which would mean battery saving, but in reality, it just around 5-10 minutes extra.

do note, UL80VT is more on battery life while U80V is more on performance side.

well, depends on your usage.
if your program is cpu-dependent, better get the one with 2.53ghz
else, for average usage, they should perform similar.

something like video editing, photoshop, rts games, etc... they love better processor.
or can simply said, task that always make your cpu usage 100%, then you better get faster one than the current one.

well, if its for that usage,
asus k40ab is also enough, rm 1999
but asus u80v also is a good choice, better design, backlit-keyboard, lighter, should have lower temperature and longer battery life than k40ab

what about it?

for average use, more than enough
want to game, got other better model

for gaming, consider benq s42, dell studio 15, toshiba l510-s4314
out of those three, benq s42 would be best performer while studio 15 and toshiba l510-s4314 would perform similar, just different screen size and after sales.
the samsung has basic gpu, not really gaming-friendly
