nah... that's juz driver issue on NV side... since 400 family is still new...

GT 420M/425M/435M has the same amount of SP as GTS 360M... wat u think???

doubt so... GTS 360M has 256-bit memory controller and GDDR5...

GT 420M/425M/435M are only 128-bit...

whoops, my bad...

A42Ja clear winner... u can google for K42Ja instead... the 2 are basically the same...

but if u can fork out rm4k, do give Asus N43Jq some thoughts too...

GT 425M should be better by quite a margin as the driver matures...

juz take a look at wat GTS 360M can do and u'll ve a rough idea...

that's y i said "rough" idea...

waiting for miahahaha to give me the green light then i can update...

mia: here u go...

Gaming : 1) Asus N43Jq/A42Ja, 2) Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG, 3)Acer Aspire 4741G

- Best GPU u can find for a 14", so it's down to personal preference of brands and warranty. By Gaming I dun mean playing at highest settings on the latest blockbuster games, rather, laptops in this category allows u to play at higher detail than others, expect mid-high in most cases. The list has been totally revamped thanks to GeForce 400M series. You can't go wrong with either of these.

CULV : 1) Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG, 2) Asus U45Jc/U43Jc

- "4820TG again?" u may ask. yes, 8hrs of battery life on vanilla Core i is juz unbeatable, couple with a decent GPU, it's an obvious choice.

Value : 1) Fujitsu LH520, 2) Lenovo G465/Compaq CQ42-205AU, 3) Acer Aspire 4551/Asus A42F

- LH520 top the list for a simple reason, having dedicated graphic card @ rm1.5k, no others can match that. G465 and CQ42 are tied as both have CPU at the same clock speed, both are decent choice, but pick CQ42 if u are concerned abt battery life.

Work : 1) Asus X42Ja/Dell Studio 14, 2) Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG

- this is for those who are looking for a machine to do work like Photoshop, but still prefer 14", without breaking their wallet. X42Ja and Studio 14 come with quad core, no question on performance. TimelineX 4820TG (again!) is in the list as well as it's a light machine with great battery life, ideal for those who needs to move around often.

lol, i typed X42Ja in the work category... can help me edit...
