Its not going to be light in terms of weight though haha  Not much options at the moment for SB equipped laptops.. need to wait ah im not going to buy it by latest at the end of this year, need more time to do research on suitable laptop have check on asus n43, not liking the design though

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Jan 24 2011, 03:47 PM) ULV processors are very weak, even for SB ones... performance difference is very big I think if you prioritize in performance, you will need to either top up your budget, or let go of the cool factor  gonna have to prioritize performance then. budget is stil max 4k spec : good performance, multitasking, heavy downloading, good linux support, nvidia graphic. and light gaming of course. fullhd is a bonus any laptop in mind?
