That one is GX640 which is 15.4'' ?

Standard size as in 14"?

Budget ?

even as a fan of vaio. i would not recomend current SB n C series, malaysian SB got seriously poor spec. n the C still got SBridge issues plus the material used look cheap. quite disapointed in sony actually as my SR55 easyly one of the best laptop experience i ever had. if u used lappy as powerful as 5750 , im afraid ur gonna puke on SB perfomance.

if ure seriously considering portability, then 14 is the way to go. 15 are just too huge to move around.

these model should be good enuf

if can wait ( or lucky for ready stock )
4830tg
n43sl
vostro 3550
msi cr640 with pwning hd5850 @ rm3499 at courts ( stock are running loose fast! )

if cannot
xps14
n43jm
dell 14r
4750g
a42sv

so there, ur 6428823rd recomendations reply

For your price range and requirement (lightweight), assuming less than RM2k:



If its me, I would go for the one underlined. Or any laptop with E-350 + AMD HD6310 (down to personal preferences) 

thanks a lot...
so which is better in terms of performance

i3-380UM+Intel® HD vs
U5400+Intel® HD vs
E-350+AMD HD6310

mainly for office work,surfing internet,watching movies and some games like racing games(NFS etc) and sport games(FIFA@NFL etc) 

13"???
price nearly like acer 5750g
but sony vaio did have very very nice design...

guys i forgot to ask. the dell 14r, how is the keyboard layout? to press the F1 F2 ... buttons  you need to press and hols the "Fn" button right? won't that be bad for games that needs fast F1 F2 tapping?

Based on the photo shown by Dell Malaysia here:


For F1, F2, you just need to press it. Fn keys are used only when you want to adjust things like the brightness, volume etc.
For Toshiba, you could map the function of each keys, I think you could probably do that as well for Dell 

Damn, I love the chiclet keyboards on the new Inspirons 

but sifu PF T.J i saw a video review on youtube and at 2:08 i can see that the F1  F2 keys are highlighted in blue which means you will have to press and hold the "Fn" button? or did i got the wrong laptop? 

Err... I have a very laggy connection here, can't finish watching the video.. but based on the sticker on the palm rest, the laptop is running on the old Core i i3 processor, meaning the laptop is probably the old Inspiron 14R... The new one is different    (another key difference would be the keyboard, the new one has chiclet keyboards)
For further clarification perhaps you could go and see the laptop in reality, or just give Dell a call 

P/S: The kid's hair is freaking me out 

Vaio usually sells based on the design 
And most of the buyers are usually girls 

As for 13 inchers, I guess you better wait for a while as SB 13" are even rarer than SB 14" 
What caught my eye is the Acer 3830T and 3830Tg in Singapork, damn nice 

but sony vaio did have very very nice design...

oh ,that make me look like sissy.... is that possible if i buy from singapore and take to malaysia? kastam will block?

Yep the new SB look cool, but i prefer older generation S with circular ring hinges. The new C also look nice but only on vids n pics, realife, the so called light reflex material look somekinda cheap plastic!  unacceptable for laptop that use "premium" as the marketing point.

Designs also actually on the top on my list on buying not only laptop but almost anything which strongly suggest my recent laptop purchase

i think this is the one...

i do hope the key layout is like that!!   

Nope, we have a cow with a gun who've personally did that before the Acer 3820Tg was announced here in Malaysia after a few hundred years 
But you may need to get international warranty lo... and who knows maybe Malaysia will get this laptop late... again

The TimelineX 4830Tg is more matured in terms of design, with a little bit of Mac in it 
I kind of like the fluorescence in them new Vaio units though, really sweet... not sure of the model though, are those Vaio Cs? 
BUt to me its abit too striking for my taste...Something like the Z series which is more conserved would be most welcomed 

Those are new Vaio C series, u gotta feel n see em real life to see how thier built n looks, I actually bargaining for a white Vaio C on last PC Expo, it was rm3299.00 n i show the seller rm3200 on his face but he can only give me rm9 discount so no deal lol. I think im gonna belanja him nasi lemak if i ever found that saleman again, if that was a deal, i never would even resting my palm on a supremely beautiful cool blue machinery right now

Hey guys, looking for a decent laptop, budget rm3000 +-.
