quality wise?

Quality wise or if you mean durabilty definitely would go with rugged notebook, but then it would not be thin and light...

hard ware wise ba. i like the z's carbon fibre. bt it aint slot load. =(

Slot load could only bring problems later, once the disc stuck, you need to open the notebook just to get the disc out...

and since you mentioned its not slot load, means you are getting the SSD version, which means by default it would give "faster" feeling than the other two....
Games performance wise, the HP Envy 14 and Vaio Z wouldn't differ much, both comes with high resolution with somewhat similar power GPU (HP Envy 14's ATi HD5650 is underclocked, which brings its performance similar with GT330M, else, HD5650 > GT330M )..

no need recommendation, the most important issue in buying things is just money!!!

@haoyuan, what?

Anyways, if money is not a problem, I would go for the HP envy, (can still game on it mah) If you want portability and power, then its the mbp 13, if you want portability only, then mba.

1. Brand. Any
2. Budget. RM2000-2300
3. Specs. i3 and got GC
4. Size. prefer 14"..15" can get ar??

15'' closest is
Dell Inspiron 15R, i3 370M + ATi HD550v@RM2499

14''
Dell Inspiron 14R, i3 370M + ATi HD550v@RM2299

lee_what2004,how about this?

HP G42, i3 380M + ATi HD5470 (512mb), freeDOS@RM1999

HD550v > HD5470, so depends you want better GPU or better CPU

OK THX LEE..

which is better = Nvidia GT420M or ATi HD5650 because i saw this laptop
Acer 4820TG, i5 460M + ATi HD5650 n Acer 4741G, i5 460M + Nvidia GT420M
they have same cpu and price but different GPU which is better???

Don care just as long as its below 3kg or ranges around 2.5kg.
Max budget 3.8k

There's Acer 3820TG, i5 460M + ATi HD5650/Intel HD, 1.8KG@SGD 14xx
But if you want something with significantly better than GT335M, then no...
