just besides malaysia, singapore

standard is 14 inch right..?

Yeap, 13,14" are the standards:
Acer Aspire 4743ZG, P6200 + Nvidia GT520M@RM1749, 3 years local limited warranty
Asus A43Sj, i3-2310M + Nvidia GT520M@RM1999, 2 years international warranty
Dell Inspiron 14R, i3-2310M + Intel HD 3000@RM1949
HP Pavilion G4, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM1899, W7HB
Lenovo G470, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM1999
Toshiba Satellite L645-1163X, i3-380M + ATI HD5650@RM1999 (if can find)

I would go for the ones underlined... but which one to buy I think your sis should check out them models by herself to see which one suits her most

A43Sj, i3-2310M + Nvidia GT520M@RM1999

I think go for this one better since Asus offers international warranty..

LifeBook AH531, i7-2620QM + Nvidia GT525M@RM3999 versus Inspiron 15R, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT525M@RM2699, 2 years in-Home warranty

which one is better if I were to use for my studies abroad?

Shouldnt you get a laptop with international warranty like Asus instead if studying abroad?

I argue with my parents..they say Asus no good..I wanted to get Asus in the first place.. anyways..how is Dell's service overseas?

I think Dell warranty is only local?

There's an option to upgrade though I am not so sure..

ok ok I'll call tech support tommorow..tq

Tell ur parents Asus is the only brand that offers 2 years international warranty by default..
If not, just let you buy laptop at the country you're gonna study in..

but they dont want to listen..

hey, my dad has been using his ASUS for 8 years, finally died. haha.
Passing my ASUS to him and getting a new one for myself before going overseas.
I can say its pretty reliable.

Thanks for the reply, now can you pls pls recommend me a good seller in kl please.

Hmm, there's no such thing as a good seller I think.. Just survey and look for one which is the cheapest I guess? A forumer got his for RM1440, you can try asking him where he got it.. Check the dedicated HP-dm1z in Notebook specific discussion to find that forummer...

Get a Toshiba, and extend the warranty to 3 years international
Bet your parents won't say Toshiba is bad

Which blardy shop has N43SL??? Haven't seen it around....

Asus is quite reliable .. its reputation and blah blah XD

hi m15x seller ma?lol

hi all, it's me again. looks like my budget has increased from 2.5max to 2.8k-3k max. so.....

1. Brand - Acer, lenovo, asus
2. Budget - 2.8k-3k
3. Specs - i5 SB at least, 1gb discrete graphics, 4gb ram at least, 500 gb hdd at least, usb3.0, good battery life.
4. Size - 14 inch.

my usage will be mainly for work, surfing, watching movies, multitasking. I spend a fair amount of time on Photoshop, indesign and illustrator, and of course a little bit of gaming. i'm quite an audiophile so good audio is a plus. must have chiclet keyboard.

was seriously considering the acer aspire 4830tg. but since budget increase, what models would you guys recommend?

or should i spend my extra dough on a ram+warranty upgrade for the 4830tg? quite in love with that model actually.... halp!

Asus U41Sv, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2899
HP Dv4, i5-2410M + AMD HD6750@RM2899

And the usual:
