Thanks for your input. I'll check out those notebooks you mentioned.

Do u know what GPU Dell will use for upgrade? it'll be done soon?

Not really, though I would expect HD5650 or HD57xx....

most probably HD 5730 but not sure is DDR3 or DDR5... if it's DDR3 then HD 4670 will be slightly better in term of performance (DX11 excluded)

Asus K40AB/K50AB@RM1999,
Lenovo G450 with Nvidia G210M@RM1999,
The lenovo G450 will have better battery life that the Asus K40AB/K50AB but has a bit weaker GPU and stronger CPU compared to the Asus.

Thanks for the reply!

1 question though, is graphic card very important for cad, photoshop, 3dsmax, etc? Can Dell Studio 15's graphic card handle them? I think it's 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570, right?

Lenovo G450 and Asus K40/50AB?

seems like xps13 is not selling more, izzit?

Acer wise, Acer 4740@RM1999, though gaming performance wise, lose to those two.
2-3 hours battery life is pretty normal for notebook with dedicated GPU...
If you want more than that, then you need either get culv notebook or notebook with intel gma which sacrifice performance instead of battery life...

Lenovo G450 should be silver colour?

Acer 4530 is old model...

Brand : HP preferable.
Budget : RM4000 and below.
Specs : 4GB RAM, i3 processors, 500GB HDD, Graphics that support some med-level games like L4D, Light weight.
Size : Around 14'-15'

Nothing much from HP..

Consider Sony Vaio CW26@RM3999

my friend need a laptop.. budget <rm2500.. any brand also can as long as it is nt acer.. prefer processor i5... any good recommendation?
she's thinking of dell's new inspiron 14.. rm2499..

320GB SATA Hard Drive
512MB ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4330
2GB (1X2GB) 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM
Dell™ Wireless 1397 802.11b/g Half Mini Card
8X DVD+/-RW Drive with DVD+R double layer write capability

what do u guys think? thanx in advanced...

That would the only option if strictly i5, under 2.5k and non-acer....

Hopefully someone can give me an idea as to what model to choose.

Thanks in advance!

If you want a bit better performance in gaming, then take the Asus K40AB/K50AB, its also comes with 2 years warranty by default.

IF strictly HP... HP DV4-2120TX@RM4099
Though if want lightweight, Asus U80V@RM2799

Acer 4740G@RM2499, Dell Inspiron 14/15, Toshiba L510-S4316, Compaq CQ41-214TX (overbudget)
