I'm looking for a laptop for my friend.
Budget around RM2,500.
Preferably in the range of 14"

Usage:
Using the net
Games ( the SIMS and occasional Team Fortress 2)
Music
TV series/movies
mobility would be great

She was looking at MacBook Pro, but I told her she could get a good laptop for a cheaper price.
oh ya. she's a girl, so a laptop that isn't that 'guyish' would be good.

Done some research on the 4820TG. Competitor with the Asus A42Jv eyh?
I myself own the A42Jv. Just wanna ask, what are the pros and cons you know off for the 4820TG?
I might've missed something during my research.

Hmm, I've read complains on the keyboard. In the long term, dust trapped inside the keyboard may spoil it?
Cos my friend has Acer now, and well, it's not treating her well.

In terms of GC. Is it better than A42Jv GTX 335M (if not mistaken)

Then what's all the hoo haa about the Acer?
Hmmm.. which would you get lee?

You mean 4820TG?
haha
How about the laptops in this link?
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1555361

Why'd you recommended the 3820TG ah?
Just lighter than 4820TG?

Boo! Cannot order online also ah?
World's so unfair.
Now, all I need to do is to convince my friend to buy another Acer

More expensive than 4820TG?
Hmm, if I'm not mistaken. 4820TG is around RM2,500 right?

Do you think it will last a few years? Cos she'll be going to Melbourne, it would suck if suddenly the laptop break down.

What if she doesn't want Acer.
I've heard complains on the Dell Inspiron. Speakers won't work after a while. Two of my friends experienced this.

Thanks for the fast replies lee!
I'll have a talk with her later.

Doing more research than when I bought my own laptop.
Don't wanna be the one who recommends her a lousy laptop

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?

lee,
How about Lenovo Y460?
Around RM3,000 right?
Do you recommend it?

Hmm, any problems I should know of?

lee, I checked Lenovo Y460 in digital mall, and the GC is Nvidia GT 425M. If not mistaken.
I thought Y460 uses radeon 5650?

The older model is faster and has a better GC right?

It's also known as Asus K42Ja @RM3,600 right?
Those specs is quite good.
But for a light gamer, Nvidia GT 425M is sufficient yea?

If she gets the newer Y460, her laptop better than my a42jv. :oooo

Oh really? might as well get a42jv then?
cheaper as well.

Why ah? They stopped production?
Y460 battery life > a42jv battery life right?
My friend wants long batt life.

wa. some more she quite keen on buying a42jv.
and she is anti dell and acer cos of bad experiences.
