so apa beza the 14r and this dell studio?

can explain

for gaming ke for photoshop purposes ke

or 14r is better?

The studio has better CPU but weaker GPU, ATi HD545v is basically ATi HD4570 while the 14R has ATi HD550v which is ATi HD4650..
GPU helps more for better gaming than CPU...
So, if your priority is gaming, 14R is better...

and HD5650 from Acer 4820TG, better than those two...

can you recommend me a laptop, with a budget of less than RM2k, i thinking whether to go for 13" or 14". i have a 15.4" and it seems pretty big for me.

@dlwl, usage?

13'' can consider
Dell Inspiron 13R, i3 370M + ATi HD5470, Home Basic@RM1999
Dell Inspiron M301z, AMD K325 + ATi HD4225@RM1699

if you want sandy bridge have to wait for jan 2011 too see.

it's actually for my dad. just normal office work. maybe some light multimedia stuff like watching movies, a bit of picture touching up with picasa, that's all.
want a smaller one for mobility's sake.

Dell's offering seems ok, how about other brands? Would you recommend a 14"? because prices of some 14" seem to be cheaper

Performance is not really an issue here, so i guess sandy bridge is out of the picture for now.

14'' is cheaper, but lower sepc as well...
Some option.
Acer 4552, AMD P340 + ATi HD4250, freeDOS@RM1499
Fujitsu LH520, AMD P320 + ATi HD5430, freeDos@RM1499
Toshiba C640D-1005U, P6000 + GMA HD, freeDOS@RM1549
Toshiba C640D-1004U, AMD P320 + ATi HD4250, freeDOS@RM1449

As for other brand 13'', its more expensive...

Sifus, which 1 is better if base on my requirement as below:

~ Mainly for Microsoft Office, some simple Photoshops, movies, simple games (not 3D), web surfing.
~ Light weight + portability
~ Long battery life.
~ Let's just assume both of them are same price.

Thanks

But I thought NVIDIA graphics cards is better than Intel one?

Its better, but consume more energy, produce more heat, less battery life as well, so.. ?
