wanna ask the a42jk ( i3 350m , 2GB DDR3, 500GB HDD, ATI 5145 1GB, Intel HM55,....) should be around how much and okay or not if around 2.1k-2.2k...

and hows the ATI 5145 since i cant find the score for it ..heard it had been replaced by a42jc but i hear many saying nvdia cards easily heated up and so i am looking back at the a42jk with an ATI..

HD5145 is basically HD4570...

Okay bad news.
She doesn't want Acer. Cos her parents has Acer aspire as well.
Always jam. And she has butter fingers, and Acer's built isn't that solid.

Any order recommendations?

hmm, not much I remember off, mostly just problem on the backlight shifting down/up due to the ambient light sensor which can be fixed by disable it, and the bios installer is kinda unusable...

Using photoshop I assumed? The extra ram on Toshiba would be a positive though ram is easily upgradeable, but it still add to the cost...
While bigger screen is better for those tasks...

Anyone got any suggestions for a sub RM1.5k (lower the better) notebook? My friend needs one for studies, web surfing and some light gaming.

Expecting something around the Fujitsu LH520 caliber if possible.

For now, HD5650 is better...
i5 540M and i5 460M basically almost the same except 540M has higher TurboBoost and some extra instruction,

The Y460 i5 540M not really value for it anymore, better get Asus A42ja...
