If you can push your budget a lil' the Dell SXPS 16 would make for a brilliant laptop. Otherwise, you may wanna consider the Benq s42 and Dell Studio 15 too. I'm a kinda paranoid with dell coz my m1530 which i bought 18months ago at 4.7k recently had a faulty motherboard prob. I was expecting it to last much longer that's why i invested a lot on it anyway.. Is there any official BenQ store in kl? Yeah vaio kinda overpriced but i believe their quality is really good. what'd you think? Another thing that;s bothering me is many laptops come with radeon 4570 graphics card. It isn't that good right? correct me if im wrong. I know s42 has the 9600m which is much better This post has been edited by KoNz3n: Oct 31 2009, 03:57 AM
