Well, the SXPS 16 got good screen for watching movies and also got good after sales serivices from Dell... Unless don't want to maximize the budget 4K, then the inspiron 15R also good enough...
As for Vaio, did said if want something colourful....

need something within rm3.5k. screen size prefer 14" or 15". for multimedia and gaming usage(not that hardcore). anything good to suggest? was thinking of a42jv. but after looking at acer's price now thinking back. any brand would do.

Pretty much the alternative is the Lenovo Y460 or Acer 5745G or can try look for SXPS 16 with i5 430M on garage sales....

the inspiron 15r looks pretty decent. in your opinion is it worth it? and my dad says that dell after sales service isnt so good while im hearing from others that it is one of the best, do u have any experience with dell after sales service and if so can u give any comment?

what's the full spec for 5745 and xps 16? and if budget < 3k?

Well, if considering the onsite services provided by the Dell and also not really demanding in performance, the Inspiron 15 should be worth enough.
Personal experience with Dell services? Not yet, got one family member using SXPS 16 and still working fine...
As for other brands, you need to send your notebook to their service center....

5745G with i7 720QM + Nvidia GT330M, 4GB, 500GB, around RM3799...
SXPS 16 with i5 430M + ATi HD4670, last time got forumer sell it RM3599....

Budget <3K then its obvious, A42Jv...
unless want to step up to 17'' then Vostro 3700....

alrite. thanks. u helped alot.

thx for the help lee_what2004. appreciate it.

The believe the Acer would be the lightest and thinnest (correct me if I'm wrong), but will the CX420 difference a lot in terms of weight and thickness? If not much difference (not that we human can notice it), then I'll choose MSI since they have the same spec...

around 100gram difference, a lot for you?

100 gram i don't think I can personally notice it, how about the thickness? some notebook thickness can change when the battery is removed...

Not really noticeable for me....

ATI 5470 > Nvidia G310M, but there is a new ATI 545v and notebookcheck.com has not provided review and testing yet. Any user of 545v know where it stands ?

Ati 5470 > Nvidia G310M > 545v or

Ati 5470 > 545v > Nvidia G310M

hmm dell got maximum 16 inch screen, i am looking for something around 17 inch. for some reason i kind a dislike the bezel of xps 16, too thick i might say. Today i have check out some laptop shop in lowyat, but most of them are 15'4.
have any other idea?

thanks

Dell Vostro 3700...
