Hi fellow LYNetters

Waiting to get a new lappie from next months PC fair!

In search of a laptop of any brand with a few of the following requirements:

- 13" to 15" display
- Preferbably with a dedicated GPU for light gaming
-Engineering student. Will be running apps like programming compilers and MATLAB
- fairly durable hinge (remember my recent Asus Lappie with a terrible hinge problem. Hinge broke even after getting it replaced rclxub.gif )

My budget is RM2800 or less. Many thanks icon_rolleyes.gif

If wanted the one with better GPU, consider Asus A42Jv, i5 450M + Nvidia GT335M@RM2799....
Else, can consider Acer 4741G, i5 450M + Nvidia 310M, 3 years@RM2299 or those Vostro 3300/3400/3500 and upgrade its warranty to 3 years for peace of mind...

Saw the Acer 4741G in an add today. Looks very tempting. Purchased an Aspire 4720 (RM2800 blink.gif ) about 3 years back and everything is ok but somehow I feel its a little underpowered. LAgs whenever I multitask (pdf, browser, skype all at once) or play games

Will be on the lookout for the A42Jv. Thanks a bunch! notworthy.gif
