Wow, we really need this!! good work TS
I've been having a headache finding out 13' options ^_____^
You made my life much easier

Does anyone have any experience with a DELL 13z ? Mind giving some comments? Thanks!

I LOLed!
Kinda missed the DELL Inspiron 13 which was sold for RM 1,399 (or 1,499) during the PC Fair, now wanna buy also dun have liao

Wow! That's insanely cheap for a Toshiba
Even the specs are more or less the same except for the size~
Thanks, Mr Lee What, good intro ^____^

Haha, not everyone uses their notebook for gaming
Notebooks with non- dedicated GC are generally cooler under normal usage, which explains why they often last longer than gaming machines T_____T

WOW, that's real cheap!

Yalo I wait for so long already LOL

Something interesting (to me) ,just searched the internet on the meaning of "Portégé"... Actually there's no such word at all, only "Protégé".... So dunno Toshiba spelled wrongly or what
For those who are curious, Protégé means "One whose welfare, training, or career is promoted by an influential person" cited from http://www.answers.com/topic/prot-g

After reading this article suggested by Mr_nobigdeal at http://forum.notebookreview.com/5982344-post1.html, I'm sure I will wait hehehe!

Toshiba claims the Portege can last up to 11 hours..
I don't think there's an i5 variant
Both the U5400 and i3-330UM should be better than the previous SU4100/SU7300.
But between U5400 and the i3, dunno which 1 is better

All running on 6-cell batteries
The "old" T110 and T130 battery life was claimed to be 11 hours, new ones not so sure, cannot find in the official Toshiba brochure

The Toshiba Portege T230 is not meant for gaming at all... its meant for battery life.. hence the ASUS would definitely be the better choice

Hehe, another one
Trouble you lo Mr. miahahaha

13 inch

Asus
U33Jc (Bamboo Edition) i5-450M + NVIDIA G310M@RM3899 (640GB+ 4GB RAM+ 2.0 MP webcam)

15 inch

Fujitsu
Lifebook AH550, i3-330M+ G310M@ RM3688

Toshiba
Toshiba Satellite L655-1005X, i5-450M+ ATI HD5145@RM3099
Toshiba Satellite A665-10013D, i7-740M+ NVIDIA GTS350M, BD-Writer @ RM6999 + 3D Vision Kit + 6GB RAM
Qosmio F60-BD533, i7-740QM+ NVIDIA GT330M+ BD-Writer@ RM4999

That's all for now hehe
Arigato!!

For those who are wondering about the "very ugly" statement... you guys should take a look at the material used for the T230
It looks something like this, but without the colors (something like the back of stickers )


OMG, I was like saying there can be nothing worse than Glossiness!!! Toshiba

Thanks again!

Yeah, Toshiba claimed that its the lightest 13.3 incher around
Comes with i3,i5 or i7.... Prices estimated around RM3,999
Very nice design though, unlike the hideous T210/230

Good choice using the GMA HD I think haha
People who buy this kind of laptop most probably won't even need a dedicated GPU

Well, there are i5 and i7 variants which should be able to handle most normal tasks without a problem~

Haha, definitely not gamers, probably girls only will buy ba because of the design? But still they might still fell for Vaios

The old DV 3 was very very hot (in terms of temperature)... wonder is there a change in the cooling system
The R700 boast of a specialized cooling system, dunno effective or not also haha

Yes, they sure will give 1.. Its Toshiba promotion.
If they don't give, or like last time PC Fair- give people Western Digital External HDD instead of Toshiba External HDD, you have the right to ask for the correct one.

DELL Inspiron 13z is not very famous... they don't even display those in DELL shops
