The full spec ?

Going to play games ?

Yup, mainly is the GPU, if want to play games, better take the Asus..
The Inspiron 14 should have Intel HD, not GMA 4500MHD, but it still not enough for decent gaming..

Well, that his decision..

Same spec then same performance, no ?

Dell vostro with onsite warranty ?

Both will have the same performance, just down to details like screen size, weight, price, ports, warranty, etc....

Can consider
Dell Vostro 3400, i3 370M + GMA HD, Win 7 Pro@RM2269
HP ProBook 4420s, i3 350M + GMA HD, Win 7 Pro@RM2699
The rest budget can use for Office...

Acer 4820TG?

Not really if you just using it for Office, surfing, watching movies, etc...
Vostro need to order online..

Not mine, its kae7's

Can consider Asus U41Jf, i5 460M + nVidia GT425M@RM2999...

i7 > i5, but only if your apps can utilize all the core/thread available in i7 Quad..
There's also i7 Dual core, i7 620M and i7 740M 640M...
i7 Quad will produce more heat and also consume more energy, just keep in mind notebook with i7 Quad mostly would just last 2 hours with standard battery...

Typo, should be i7 640M

Smooth and fast experience in a laptop that would be SSD upgrade since HDD is the bottleneck...
While faster compiling,video encoding, etc is CPU limitation...
i5 is enough for most of the time, especially if concerning battery life as well...

i7 Quad = consume lot energy
Dedicated GPU consume lot energy
i7 Quad + Dedicated GPU = bye bye battery life...

^M11x is i7 dual core ULV and Optimus with Intel HD....

Most 12-13'' now dont have optical drive, you need to buy external, should be around RM150...
13'' can consider
Inspiron M301z, AMD K325 + ATi HD4225@RM1699

Well, those one is using Intel Atom which is weaker CPU if compared to AMD K325...
Intel Atom isn't really that enough for flash games..

If its just dvd quality movies, it will be fine,
but if its 720p or 1080p movies, not good...

Shouldn't have, Atom is really low power CPU...

No overheating..

But for better feedback ,better ask the user here

They are using similar notebook, just smaller 11.6'' but same specs...

Can consider Asus U41Jf, i5 460M + nVidia GT425M/Optimus@RM2999...
Though these notebook is not ULV anymore but it has big capacity battery...

video encoding, 3d rendering, etc...
games depends, GTA IV is optimized for quad cores, but SCII only dual cores...

Yup, if its QM, its a Quad...
