18.4 screen size is too big for me. I carry my laptop everywhere, so Toshiba Qosmio X505 is not my option. After looking through Toshiba Qosmio F60, i think this is a good laptop. Btw, purchasing online is my 2nd choice.

Any other laptops suggest?

Anyways, thanks for helping.

lee_what2004: Can you show me where did you get the information for Toshiba Qosmio F60? I would like to look details of it. I also found another great laptop which is TOSHIBA Satellite A505 same spec with F60 except it has better CPU.

To: lee_what2004

I think im attracted with the Aspire 5740G, but i found few articles stating that this laptop has certain heat issues. I cant clarify yet, but will later.

Btw, the Asus k52jr is also a good laptop

do you know what is the price for it?

I believe i have posted my requirement already on page 32. Check it out. Thanks.

I agree that acer 5740g is one of the best under 3k but i would prefer to choose asus A52JR if i have the choices.

Anyway, im living in Kuching which has lesser choice like semanjung. To get better deal, i would have choose online purchase.

I would recommend the other laptops, but not the HP DV6.

Since HP pavilion series all using almost the same structure, so just avoid it or choose other series one. I have very bad experience using the HP DV4 series + heard one of my senior who using HP DV3 also got a very bad experience.

If i didnt follow up this thread, probably i will just end up with acer 5740g lol.

Thx for sharing the news about dell laptop.

I think i gonna get the vostro 3700 as that series almost met all my requirements
