The Nvidia 310M is better than ATi HD4330 in the inspiron 1464, that's why.

As for the difference price, that's because its Toshiba? Similar spec doesn't really mean similar price...
We are not only paying merely for spec, there's other factor like the brand, build quality, after sales, etc...

I see some freezing issue on the acer 4740G ? is there any problem with that?

Performance wise, Asus A42Jr would be better, i5 520M + ATi HD5470@RM2999
Toshiba M500-S433 comes with i5.

Lenovo wise, still i3 for its G460 series,
Dell would be Dell Studio 14.

er.lee,i googled asus A42JR but it gives me an i3 core.Kinda prefer asus over acer.Is it really with i5 core@rm2999?

All notebook also don't come with MS Office, you need to buy it separately,
You can consider OpenOffice, its free or MS Office 2010 beta, its free as well.

Pirated one, well you never know what they put in it, virus or trojan, etc..

oh i see.thanks for the advice

oh i see,so 17" will have a better view?(my friend said that 14" has a better view)Then i don't see any problem with me already.2.9kg shouldn't be lot of burden to me.
Do you advice me to buy the vostro 3700 when it is still on promotional price now or wait for the promotion over?
