They will just work pretty much the same, the difference is almost unnoticeable, except the MSI might have better performance in gaming.
Well, 1GB is enough if the user not picky, though I might prefer 2GB at least, for nowadays.
The CQ40 might have difficulties in installing Windows XP in it as drivers are a bit hard to found, well, if that's what you intend to use later on.

You can check latest pricelist from Thundermatch, got one offer
G450 59026247, T4300 2.1GHz, 1GB ram, 250GB hdd, GMA 4500M, no bluetooth though, RM 1399

Well, besides TOSHIBA L510-S4318B and Acer.
What other brands would you recommend lee? (:

MSI brand ok ?
how bout they part?
cons ?
TQ

Just realized got one notebook with price drop.
Asus U80V, 14'', p7450 + ATI HD4570, RM 2799, iinm with backlit keyboard, though it its older generation, but its quite thin and light (2.1kg)
or Asus A42JR (14'') or A52JR (15''), i3 350M + ATi HD5470 @RM2699, basically almost like Acer 5740G with downgrade on CPU, cheaper RM 300, but longer 1 year warranty.

cons would be bit hard to find service center...

omg intel website say it I5 ....if is that is best bang already 520m + 335m+ 4gb + 500GB...

Well, if it has that kind of spec, 6.5hours of battery life would be impossible... and also the heat generated...

If it were to be compared... the toshiba L510-S4318B's performance will be better or the Asus one..? and to service. which will be more convenient if I am from Perak?

compac cq40-627tu (rm1599) acer 4736(rm1599),inspiron 1440 RM1499

which one is better..in term of performance..

Hai..i just need some advice or recommendation or anything that can help me..i cannot choose rather HP Probook 4410s or Lenovo ThinkPad SL400..
please don't offer any laptops because i just focus on those two..

HP Probook because its HP and the specs is good but 1 day a guy from a shop show me this ThinkPad SL400 durability..so i don't know which one i wanted..so i hope u guys can help me...

i am an average user..wanted ram 3gb and above..hdd around 250gb and above..windows 7..and i also don't know whether matte or glossy screen is which more is good.
Thank u so much helping me...

both ur choices are quite business usage...
as a average user, what do you use a laptop for?
do you use it a lot while you traveling, meeting clients etc?

yes..traveling and meeting clients..showing project and videos and also using some for work also..
yup..searching for business usage...using photoshop cs3 also sometimes..any recommendation?
at first thinking to take HP but after looking the guy smashing here and there, put some water and shake here and there i got excited..

ur budget?
mmm...i would give u a comment that is a bit away from technical talk..
since you are using it to meet client,
i guess the design of the laptop would be a factor to consider~

yes thinkpad is good, is durable, engineered to take pressure
but other like dell adamo and hp probook might give you another edge,
as design wise is quite...i must say, eyes catcher

spec wise for both laptops you listed i cannot get a definite answer
both are customizable
so ur question is really lies at,
what design suit you the most?

i am really not sure..that's why im asking here..because i wanted to know more about thinkpad because i dont have lots of info about it...thanks

The toshiba would be better in term of performance.
Not really sure about the service center, sorry

almost the same. The inspiron would be a better deal though, at that price, you get original WIndows 7 and a good aftersales.
Though, just want to clarify, is the cq40-627tu comes with 320GB 7200rpm?
And also, you might not want to consider cq40 if you wanted to use windows XP.

Well, both are budget line business notebo0k, pretty much same build quality.
Just take the one you like and consider upgrade the warranty to onsite warranty.
Matte screen is good if you need to use your notebook outside under the sun, and also if you hate to see reflection on your screen.

acer aspire 4736z

@ajercrazy
From the list of laptops that you just posted, i think it would be best for you to take Dell Inspiron 14, which is by means a bit better than Acer 4736 & CQ40 ...one of the reason would be the aftersales service which Dell give the best out of the three ...

Well, from spec-wise it would be :

Aspire 4736=Inspiron 14 > CQ40

@ajercrazy
i pretty much agree on monza's comment
but if Acer price is no higher than dell by 100 or 200
u may instead want to try out both before you decide
Acer comes with win 7 hp while dell is basic
plus Acer has HDMI and integrated webcam

i would say is about ur brand & design & usage preference when coming down to Dell and Acer~
