Hi Guys,

I am finding a new notebook, the spec will be:
1) I5 processor
2) mid range graphic card - performance around Nvdia 330M / ATI 5730/5650
3) display >= 14'
4) USB port at least 3
5) HD fully support +HDMI
6) budget : around 3K.

Any recommendation for this. This notebook will be mainly used for multimedia (HD movie)+ gaming (Warcraft/NFS/L4D) + programming (not a heavy programming).
Please advise and thanks for any feedback!

Edited: Extra note, cooling system is important also cause the heat generated from my old notebook is impressive

Thank you lee_what sifu

Hi lee_what2004, thx for the comment will search the detail spec for those that you have recommended.
For note 5, it not be a native resolution, as long as it can play back the 1080iHD video without any lag or video-sound not-sync.
(i know most of the recent notebook should already able to do it ).

Anyway in term of reliability, which 1 is the best choice?
My own opinion on the brand:
1) lenovo : no idea, none of my friend using this
2) Asus : very good comment among the user
3) Acer: I know that acer is famous with the lower price and better spec but i am the current acer user (core duo 2.6GHz travelmate) and the reliability isn't that good.
4) Dell : Not sure about this but ofter hear people send back for warranty. And i feel like the warranty from DELL is purposely make for this...

Pretty much on luck, since there is no brand without problem?

dell 14R with i3 HD550v probably ur only best choice

How much izit?

if you want something which is below rm2500 with 3 years warranty and come with the best spec,Acer AS4738G-464G50(RM2299) is the only choice.if you think u only need for basic usage,A42DR-VX032V(RM1799) is sufficient.do noted that definately you cant expect it to be same performance as Acer AS4738G-464G50.you can upgrade to 4gb ram for Asus to boost up the performance

no point for you to choose Dell Inspiron 14R(RM2199) seriously
