according to that, its 6-cell

with that kind of usage, better stick with regular c2d/ i5 series
consider studio 15 with i5 (rm 3.5k) or studio xps 16 (4k)

certainly the k50ij is faster, since both of them is different purposes notebook.
asus 1005 is more into word processing and light browsing with long battery life...

if you really need the long battery life, consider acer 1410T, at rm 1499, 6++ hours battery life, while still better performance than asus 1005, and the difference with the k50ij would be only slower processor, while still having the netbook size/weight.

but for main notebook, I would really suggest taking bigger notebook, k50ij, it will be easier on the eye in long term~

can consider asus ul50v

dell inspiron 14, just customize it to your liking
or toshiba L510-S4318B or L510-S4316B

lenovo y550, acer 5935g with gt240m, hp dv6

well, the different brand would mean different warranty policy, if not really tech person, consider dell, since if facing any problem, can just call them and they will their people to your house to fix it.

if pink preferable, do consider the inspiron 14, can customize it to pink lid.
or if want more than just lid color, consider sony vaio cw15, rm 3299.

well, lightweight/thin/long battery life doesn't fit much with gaming
unless light gaming and don't mind 14'', consider asus ul80vt, can last around 6++ hours and still manage to play cod:mw2 in low medium settings.
or compromise on lightweight/thin/long battery life consider dell studio 15

how long battery life? long one, consider Asus UL80VT
if not, consider Asus K40AB or K50AB for rm 1999.

its doesn't come with bag/mouse, only notebook and charger.

of course studio 15, if you are more interested in gaming.

should be ok with its i5 and hd4550.

at most 2.5 hours
the palm rest is cool, since the heat is diverted to the back of the notebook.
though with your budget, you can get better notebook,
you can't really hope to get away from heat with performance notebook.

5k at mucro asia, though gpu wise lose

you asking quite a lot for limited budget...
which one prioritize? spec or slim?
consider asus u80v, though overbudget
else acer 5740g, asus ul30vt

which is why Asus UL30VT is much better, it got overclockable cpu, 1.3ghz to 1.7ghz, switchable gpu, intel 4500mhd and nvidia g210m, weight at 1.7kg and still under rm 3k

though might come with newer spec, Asus UL30JT, using ULV i7, nvidia g310M.

well, most of slim type is more onto battery life rather than performance,
its still lose to 2.0ghz,
but in this kind of price range, there's thing you need to compromise on.

if you are really concern about cpu speed, consider hp probook 5310m, rm 3.2k, using SP9300 2.26ghz, the only downside, intel gma4500mhd and 1 slot of ram only.

as for ul30vt, there's benchmark of Asus UL80VT, which the exact same spec but with bigger screen, 14'', so performance wise should be similar.
refer here

benq s42 (though hard to find)
vaio cw16 (gt230m, variant of 9600m gt)
toshiba Qosmio F60-S530 (gt330m, variant of 9600m gt as well)
vaio Z (gt330m)

Added on January 20, 2010, 11:05 pmdell studio 15, iinm, is hot at the touchpad, due to the wifi located there.
sure it will be better than asus k40ab/50ab, but price difference is large as well.
at this price point, do consider asus 5740g, comes with latest i5 + ati hd5470 (similar with hd4570 DDR3 vram)

you can consider the big brother of ul30vt, Asus UL80VT, 14'' with exact same spec + dvd drive, similar price.

UL30JT

pretty much any notebook is sufficient, if want long battery life, consider acer timeline 4810TZ, rm 1999
else, inspiron series is also ok, considering the onsite warranty
or acer 4740.

Dell Studio 15 certainly.
The Asus UL30A is more into battery life rather than performance, and its using intel gma4500m hd which is not gaming friendly.
Studio 15 ranging from rm 2729 - 3999 depends configuration, with default specs.
consider as well acer 5740g at rm 2999, using i5 + ati hd5470.

should be around rm 2799

nope.
at best budget business notebook, hp probook, thinkpad sl400, dell vostro

well, if you really want to cut off gaming, ul30a is a good buy, considering the amount of battery life and its weight
do note that it doesn't have dvd drive.
