Better take the newer model, 4741G

Well, if like that, take 4740G, since now its the matter of preference on the input devices...

not much lower...

None with backlit keyboard...
except importing refurbished Asus G51...

HD5650 would be slightly better, but that's for gaming/DirectX...
Quadro card has different driver which optimized for OpenGL..
FX1800M which based on Nvidia GT335M should have similar raw performance with HD5650...

Acer 4551, AMD P320 + ATi HD4250@RM1499

Don't forget 89K49RQP35L03T for the SXPS 16, cut another RM150 making total RM2849

More or less would be the same for those two cpu...

Yes, that one is coupon, but only works for Studio and Studio XPS
99C$JN0?2KCPTZ is for inspiron, RM50...

equivalent with HD4850 would be quite hard
You would need to get notebook with HD5870 to get that kind of performance...

Thin profile with best gpu available would be Acer 4820TG that available on Singapore, i7-620M + ATi HD5650@SGD$1898...
Though it still weaker than your desktop...

If want all-rounder with average 2-3 hours batery life,
1)LENOVO B450-T4400
5)TOSHIBA SATELLITE L510-B400

If want lightweight and long battery life,
2)DELL INSPIRON 11z (T510123MY)
4)HP MINI 5102 PC
3)ASUS Eee PC 1201T

Though if this is going to be your main computer, better take either lenovo B450 or Toshiba L510-B400...

Well, can consider Lenovo Y460, i5 540M + ATi HD5650@RM3599, thicker than the Acer though...

Inspiron 14R will be better or if still within budget, try to get with i5 and also up the RAM to 4GB...

The best you could get is Dell Vostro 3700, 17.3'', i5 430M + Nvidia GT330M@RM2849 or Lenovo Y460, 14'', i5 430M + ATi HD5650@RM3299....

10'' below usually would be not under 2K...
Size usually around 10'' - 11.6'' for under 2K...

13'':
Dell Inspiron 13R, i3 330M + ATi HD5470, Home Basic@RM2299

14'':
Acer 4745G, i5 430M + ATi HD5470/GMA HD@RM2699
Acer 4820TG, i5 430M + ATi HD5470@RM2999

15'':
Dell Studio XPS 16, P8700 + ATi HD4670, FullHD@RM2999

17'':
Dell Vostro 3700, i5 430M + Nvidia GT330M, HomeBasic@RM2849....

Best one would be either, you might need to lower the resolution for better performance though
15'':
Dell Studio XPS 16, P8700 + ATi HD4670, FullHD@RM2999

17'':
Dell Vostro 3700, i5 430M + Nvidia GT330M, HomeBasic@RM2849....
or if can up more, the Lenovo Y460 would give better performance than those two, 14'', i5 430M + ATi HD5650@RM3299...

You might want to consider Dell Studio XPS 16, with coupon, its RM2849 and this model has dropped alot since its original price...

M11x's user with SU7300 + Nvidia GT335M say can play StarCraft II in Ultra settings, ATi HD4670 is not that far weaker, so it should play fine, just need to lower down the resolution...

C2D P8700 refer to CPU,
HD4670 refer to the graphic card, from ATi
Screen is 15.6''
