Multimedia : 1) Asus A42Jv, 2) Lenovo Ideapad Y460, 3)Sony VAIO EA16

- Best GPU u can find for a 14", so it's down to personal preference of brands and warranty. A42Jv basically stunned everyone, stripping off the fancy stuff, and slash rm1000 from the price tag. Y460's price has been decreased time and again which still makes it a good buy. Vaio EA16 is still worth considering, especially if u love to choose the colour, but lacks features compared to Asus N82Jv, and given the price of the other 2 models, unless you are a Vaio lover, you probably won't be looking at it.

CULV : 1) Acer Aspire Timeline 4810TZ, 2) Asus UL80Vt, 3) Dell Inspiron 14z

- why not UL80Vt??? to me, a CULV with integrated graphic is more than enuf, since the most demanding it needs to do is probably HD movies only. Intel GMA is sufficient for such jobs. but why UL80Vt second? due to performance:price ratio... sure Inspiron 14z is cheaper, but 4810TZ offers the same spec as well... Basically no changes since we have yet to see the ULV CPU from Intel.

Value : 1) Acer Aspire 4551/Toshiba C640D-1004U, 2) Acer Aspire 4741G/Compaq CQ42-189TX, 3) Dell Inspiron 14

- this segment is pretty interesting, we have a number of ties here. Aspire 4551 and C640 are downright dirt cheap. Add Windows and upgrade to 2GB RAM, and they are still cheaper than the 2nd place machines. New 45nm AMD 25W CPU with Radeon graphic are decent enough for everyday computing, but take note C460D has only 2 USB ports. Aspire 4741G and CQ42 come with Core i3 and dedicated graphic card that will give better performance and allows for some light games. Inspiron 14 is backed by Dell's excellent warranty service at a low price, albeit using Pentium Dual Core which lacks HTT compared to Core i3.

Work : 1) Asus A42Dr, 2) Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG

- this is a new category, for those who are looking for a machine to do work like Photoshop, but still prefer 14", without breaking their wallet. A42Dr is a clear winner as it packs a AMD Phenom II x3 inside the chasis, better than the dual cores with HTT, but not as expensive as a quad core. TimelineX 4820TG is in the list as well as it's a light machine with great battery life, ideal for those who needs to move around often.

Lenovo Y460 [i5 540M + HD5650] , RM 3699 - better processor
Sony Vaio EA16 [i5 520M + HD5650] , RM 3999 - its VAIO !! , and has various color option[5 options to choose] , stylish looks

haha.. i see...guess have to think wisely =D
1 last question.. is gt 335 performs almost like 5650?

imo 5hour is enough for me, but the longer the better right? btw, im using it for college use. so it would be great if i wouldnt need to bring the charger around college.

i just need the laptop for assignment /web browsing usage. i already have a dekstop at home. And i need a decent spec la, because i might go aussie in a year time, so i dont have to change laptop by next year.

Added on May 31, 2010, 10:50 pmbtw, Inspiron 14R good?

gpu? whats that? and you referring to 14R?

DELL-1557-72455G-W7P-BLK  Intel Core i7-720, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB HDD, 512MB 4570 ATI, DVD-RW, W7 Home Premium
rm3999.00 studio 15
this is 15.6 inch

asus n82jv oni i5 520m but usb 3.0

so which do you recommend? the 14r, asus ul30a , or the  asus a42j

i just need good enough spec to last me for 2-3 years, portable (13-15') , good battery life (>5hours more or less) , good value, durable. Not interested to use it to game since i have a desktop at home 

and btw, if i buy the dell, can i skip all the hassle of buying it tru online and just go to the shop and buy it straight from the shelf?

future then will be more games using it haha.. just what i though ahah
