Guys, need your help on choosing a laptop mainly for online research, watching some movies (if can support HD media better) and not too heavy to lug around.

1. Brand.
Acer or Asus is preferred but open to suggestions

2. Budget.
around RM2000

3. Specs.
corei3 or anything better or equivalent to it (amd or intel)
Windows 7 premium (not sure whether I need 64 bit)
2GB Ram or more
250GB HDD
DVD burner
International warranty which includes Indonesia(going there soon)
long battery life if possible with 2 pin charger
bluetooth
Webcam

4. Size.
14' screen

well ,  you need international warranty.. so Asus is better choice.. it has 2 yrs international warranty.. and yes.. there are Asus Centre in Indonesia
while Acer also have.. but 1 year international warranty[depend on model]

2 pin charger is not possible.. usually there are 3 pin sweat.gif
about battery life.. hmm.. maybe around 4 hours sweat.gif
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.. sweat.gif

I just notice that there is no bluetooth for the majority of Asus laptops.

A bit disappointing.

Is 4741G Acer good?

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

I just checked Acer and Asus service centres in Indonesia.

Seems that only Acer has a service centre at the place I'm studying doh.gif

Really wanted to try Asus for onece though

There are a few around there although Lenovo laptops seem to have a higher price tag

How about I choose this Acer model?

ACER ASPIRE 4551-1799

RM1799

AMD Athlon™ II dual-core processor P320

ATI Radeon™ HD 4250 Graphics with 256 MB of dedicated system

2GB DDR2 RAM

320GB SATA HDD

8X DVD-Super Multi double-layer drive

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Got win 7 and less than RM2k, I feel like it's a steal although I wonder if there are any problems with this model.
