Such requirements ....there are a lot of laptop that can run the spec above as you mentioned, and also laptops nowadays all capable of 64-bit OS ....Budget still what we want ..and like the post above me already stated, just go to Dell website and configure it with the most high-tech spec and see if the price is reasonable or not ...

None mentioned about the warranty..thought the machine does looks nice but need to confirm about the warranty part ..take a look at Lenovo Y460 also

Where is Sony VAIO EA16, i5 520M + HD5650 @RM3999

Well, read from the review from the Net, U45Jc claimed to be able to last for 10 hours ..but this just a mere review, my guess i would last for 8 hours and so ..well, it got the Optimus technology (which you can google ) which means can switch to Integrated GC and Dedicated GC (G310M)..with Integrated GC, guess it can last for more than 7 hours

Acer 4820TG = 8 hours
Acer 4740G = 3~5 hours
Lenovo G460 = 3~4 hours
Compaq CQ41/CQ42 = 2~3 hours

All come with Win7 HP

Some that you might want to take a look at :

Compaq CQ41-217AU, AMD M320 + ATi HD4200@RM1599
Compaq CQ42-188TX, i3 330M + ATi HD5430@RM2049

Added on June 28, 2010, 1:22 pmOr, are you referring to this one :

Compaq CQ36-336TX, T6600 + Nvidia G105M@RM1899 + Win7HP & 3 years warranty, seems like a good buy

This post has been edited by miahahaha: Jun 28 2010, 01:22 PM

Compaq is on par with Acer but i can tell you that Acer is improving a lot now..rarely heard any defective unit from Acer anymore now ..Compaq also the same ..

Compaq CQ33, never heard of one ..sorry cannot help you about that one, if you can list down the detail spec then maybe i can give some feedback, but from the looks of it, seems like a good buy that CQ33

One thing, HD5650 is DX11 card while GT335M is DX10.1 ..and just like lee said, its either ATi or Nvidia, both in similar performance

Sure :

Asus A42Jv, i5 450M + Nvidia GT335M @RM2999...well, some shops sell it quite higher but then again can always nego with them ...some that you want to take a look also :

Dell SXPS16, P8700 + HD4670 @RM2999
