Dell Inspiron 14 @RM 1499, Acer 4540 @RM 1699
if can wait, Asus N61JA
Asus k40ab/50ab use amd rm-75(new)/amd ql-65(old) and ati hd4570 ddr2 vram
lenovo g450 use t6600 and nvidia g210m ddr2 vram.

the lenovo g450 is using core 2 duo t6600
as for Dell, with that budget, at most you can get intel gma 4500M HD.

the price would be around rm 1999, freeDOS
Lenovo is the company.
Can't really comment much on its build quality, after all its value line from lenovo, the body quite sturdy, at least compared with my acer.

as for acer notebook and under 2k, only got either intel gma 4500m hd/intel HD or nvidia g105m (iinm), which both lose to nvidia g210m/ati hd4570 on previous notebook.

dell inspiron 14 @rm1499
acer 5740g@rm 2999
toshiba l510-s4318b@rm 2899

the acer is blue lid, black grey inside
toshiba one is black
should be sufficient, as long didn't open too much flash...

acer 4540@rm 1699, amd turion II m520 +hd4200
else asus k40ij @rm 1699, pretty much same spec with the dell inspiron 14 except freeDOS

K40IJ-VX146, RM 1699

about the bluetooth, better ask the seller.
as for which one better, all three of them is the same in performance wise, just different warranty and casing

I think this Laptop have a very good spec.
Suite for New U or College student who want to buy new laptop.
Good for minor to medium gaming. Because have a quite not bad GC.
Battery can last for +-3 Hours [depend on the user setting].
But the speaker is not Altec Lansing, but still ok.

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...
