do you know how heavy is this laptop? The website says it's 2kg but usually they weight it without the battery, so I wish to confirm with someone who touched this laptop before.

Added on July 9, 2010, 9:09 pmNo need, preferably with HDMI port.

Got a question though, if I want to stream Full HD through HDMI to my TV, the processor plays more role or the graphic card?

I ask this because currently Dell Mini 10 / HP 311 can have HDMI port, but the movie is less than 12 fps (unacceptable to watch smoothly), but they have weak processor and graphic accelerator, so I'm not sure which is the bottleneck.

If I want to stream Full HD, can Intel GMA 4500 MHD stream it smoothly over HDMI port to TV?

CPU or GPU, it depends on your codec settings...

MSI CX420 Core i5 , 2GB , 500GB , win7 home premium 64bit, ATI 5470 1GB DDR3 @ RM2299 at LYP , Imbi & Time Square

so this is cheaper compared to the dell inspiron 14R?

CPU wise, yes the MSI is better than Dell...GPU is the same, but as we all know that Dell gives the best warranty service (after sales service), not saying that MSI service is no good ...

i'm currently in dilemma. planning to get dell xps 16, which i think is the best choice for now. but seems that, you can get other laptops with better specs at the same price. what do you suggest? the laptop has to be able to play games and support graphic programs (photoshop, autocad, etc.)

and comparing with xps 16 duo core and core i5, which is better in what way?

iirc, Dell SXPS16 with C2D is no more..only got the i5 variant the least ...well, with SXPS16 you can get FullHD (1080p) which a lot of 15.6" laptop don't have

need a laptop before end of august. budget 3k. brand dell, asus or toshiba. i5 processor, 512 graphic, best display possible (1080p?), 4 gb ram.
windows 7. for gaming and movies. i want a model which is reliable since i'm studying in moscow.

Asus A42Jv, i5 450M + Nvidia GT335M@RM2799
If wanted 1080p, you just missed out the SXPS 16 deal @RM2999....

talking about deals. is there any more deals before august? should i buy it now?

Still no news about next deals yet...
Though the A42Jv just drop price recently from RM2999, its a good deal for now....

I bought mine for RM2980 upgraded to 4GB DDR3 with 9 freebies! Pretty damn satisfied!

Bought at where If I may ask?

Digital mall. Computer zone if not mistaken. I can double check if you want the 100% correct shop name. Haha

No need to double check

any 15 inch laptops u many suggest?

None, if you want something similar/better than A42Jv performance in gaming under RM3K....
Next step up is RM4K for SXPS 16...

if i am buying a dell studio 15. i7-740QM. 6gb ram 1080p display, ati hd5470 1gb. for 4243 is it a good deal?
can i gt any better specs from asus or toshiba for that price?

Do you really need i7?? Because with the budget that you have, its better to go for Dell SXPS 16 ...

Can i know what are you looking for in a laptop??

because dell sxps offers 1080p which i can gt from a studio 15 display upgrade. for that price i rather gt i7 processor. i'm looking for a durable com that can last me 4 years and keep up with the tech development. for gaming and movies.
