QUOTE(kae7 @ Jun 21 2010, 08:12 PM) well , you need international warranty.. so Asus is better choice.. it has 2 yrs international warranty.. and yes.. there are Asus Centre in Indonesia I just notice that there is no bluetooth for the majority of Asus laptops.while Acer also have.. but 1 year international warranty[depend on model] 2 pin charger is not possible.. usually there are 3 pin  about battery life.. hmm.. maybe around 4 hours Asus A42Dr, AMD P320 + ATi HD5470@RM2299 Asus K40Ae, AMD M320 + ATi HD4200@RM1849 Asus A42F, i3 350M + Intel GMA@RM2399, freedos@RM2099 Asus K40Ie, T6570 + Nvidia 310M@RM2199 if you want Acer... go for Acer 4740G, i3 330M + Nvidia 310M , 3 years local warranty [included 1 year international warranty]@RM2239 Acer 4810TZ, SU4100, freeDOS@RM1999 1 year warranty [local + international] .. but for acer.. it depends.. you need to ask the seller first.. A bit disappointing. Is 4741G Acer good? This post has been edited by lionelzc: Jun 21 2010, 08:50 PM |

Well, if its warranty concern, better take Asus....
The Acer is International Traveller's warranty... 4741G can just expect around 2-3 hours... |

Well, the main point is you want something with dedicated graphic card and as well long battery hours, the one fit your budget and has switchable graphic card is those two...
Asus wise, only comes with no switchable graphics under your budget, which translates to around max 2-3 hours battery life if you need dedicated graphics card for the games... This post has been edited by lee_what2004: Jun 22 2010, 01:45 AM |

Well, if the main point is CPU, then Vostro would be better...

QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Jun 22 2010, 02:09 AM) Well, if the main point is CPU, then Vostro would be better... but from the benchmark on passmark, i5-450m performs better than i5-520m, dunno whether its true or not...inspiron 13r wins on gpu i guess, but i nid more on cpu as i will b doing a lot of programming n video editing, less on playing games, i guess nvidia 310m is enuff oledi for me to play light mmorpg.. in terms of build, dell laptop good? i mean the durability n reliability, assuming i take good care of it.. bcoz i dun own dell b4, so i dunno much bout dell laptops.. i've owned toshiba n asus b4, n i can say i m satisfied with both, its juz toshiba looks dull n asus a bit pricey... |

Well, I wouldn't say it has a great build, but just average...
The Nvidia 310M is sufficient... reliability wise, well, it has the same hardware as others notebook, back to luck, though you have the dell service to back it up... The Asus a bit pricey due to its nvidia gt335m, one of the best available under 3K and also by default 2 years warranty... |
