well, as for 4810TG, better take asus ul80vt, better spec and longer warranty for the similar price.
macbook is only worthy if you want to use mac os x.

as for sxps 16, the battery life... i'm expecting 2-3 hours depending power management

Not bad i must say...gonna check on the unit later..hehe

I suggest you call dell to order and request for 9-cell battery biggrin.gif Should give you at least 3 hours battery life based on the review I saw here exactly like your customised specs:

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-S...ok.21440.0.html

Acer4810TG (Core 2 Duo SU9400 1.4GHz, DDR3 1066MHz, ATi Mobility Radeon HD4330, Win7 HomePremium) RM2999 - 5-7 hours IIRC
Asus UL80Vt (Core 2 Duo SU7300 1.3GHz Asus Turbo33 Technology 1.73GHz, DDR3 1066MHz, Hybrid Graphics Nvidia GeForce G210M and Intel 4500MHD, Win7 HomePremium) RM2999 - review shown 8-9 hours WiFi Surfing smile.gif

The UL80Vt performs better than the 4810TG and Asus gives 2 years International Warranty biggrin.gif

for the same price only the battery life is different...tempting... hmm.gif

just got back from PC fair . I checked. Studio 15 is at 2699, Toshiba L510-s4314 at 2799. and U80v at 3499. im really keen on u80v but the price is abit out of my budget eh, unless can bargain till less for rm 800. XD. so its prolly either the toshiba or dell studio. oh. and there was no BenQ booth there.

anyway did my research on a few laptops(ignore the 5k budget...haha)

-acer 4540G
-asus UL80vt

-ati/nvidia 512 graphic card

with

ul80vt
