lets see, i'm slightly bad in lappy terms.

wanted to get something that is equivalent, or at least approximately up to the standards of my current Asus G1S, but since i heard few models, like K40AB and K50AB will fit my budget (budget 2-2.5k), wanted to know more about other models as well

will be playing some games in low/mid resolution will do, 14/15" will do, will only do RAW picture processing without using photoshop (slight tune of colors + other effects only), and... hmm... Must be able to Play FULL HD 1080P compressed MKV ones (my current G1S can't )

oh, last but not that important, do add till 3 years warranty (like acer + RM2xx for 3 years warranty) those terms , as i will be expecting at least 2 years, or 3 years warranty, 1 years one, still ok la, but still preferable to have more then that

approximately my Currently using Asus G1S specs
2.2ghz centrino duo
4gb DDR2 667mhz (Changed)
