New models will definitely come in (all the time)....
3 weeks is quite long

We can't compare price differences between laptops merely based on specs
Some of the additional costs may be applied on materials, additional features, built, warranty etc.

SB processors generally have codes of i3-2xxxM, i5-2xxxM, i7-2xxxm, i7-2xxxQM

Err... A RM1.5k laptop can already support now?

Yeah, both uses the same CPU and GPU, so no worries there

What I can say is, good things need to wait 1

Any info on the latest price?

The flexes can be annoying if you're a hard typer
I've tried the keyboard on the smaller N43, and I like it very much, the large buttons can ensure very accurate and fast typing
Oh ya, you can always get an external keyboard if its too much

Which one?
The keyboard buttons on the N series are not chiclets
They're abit different. Typing feel is good, but the problem is flexes which are especially apparent on 15 inch models

As eugenechiuu mentioned, the A series keyboards are okay, not too good, not too bad
Personally I feel that the ones on the new A43Sv are abit too "shallow", they don't sink much during typing, not so good there compared to chiclets from Macs and Sonys

Acer Aspire 4750G, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT 520@RM2249, 3 years local limited warranty
Asus A43Sj, i3-2310M + Nvidia GT520M@RM1999
HP Pavilion G4, i3-2310M + AMD HD6470@RM1999
MSI FX420, i5-2410M + AMD HD6470@RM2299, 3 years warranty

Which one to choose depends on whether you emphasize more on photoshop or games

If you're into photoshopping, then its:
Acer Aspire 4750G, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT 520@RM2249, 3 years local limited warranty
MSI FX420, i5-2410M + AMD HD6470@RM2299, 3 years warranty
The 3 years warranty promotion is worth it
Yeah, stated are RRP prices, you might even get to bargain and still get around RM50+ off the price tag?

Not much options I fear:
Dell (Specs customizable)
Inspiron 15R, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM1999
Vostro 1015, T6670 + Intel GMA x4500@RM1579

MSI
CR650, AMD E350 + AMD HD6310@RM1399, W7S, McAfee (3 users)

I would go for the one underlined... it'll be good if you could extend the warranty

Thanks for the heads-up, just checked Dell Malaysia... the older version of the Inpiron 15/15R has been removed...
Replaced with the new version
Pricelist updated~

It has been coming up and down and up and down and up
I lazy update the pricelist liao

LOL, not for long, the M11x R3, M14x and M17x R3 will be out in a few days

Don't worry, I don't think there will be any more updates on the N53Sn, at least not yet...
I think more focus will be placed on the N43 instead...
Anyway, will let you know if there's anything new

You'd probably noticed that the prices of laptops sold during PC fairs are around RM100 more than usual price...
If you want the cheapest, deal in Garage Sales

14"
Acer 4830Tg@RM2499, Asus N43SL@RM2599, Asus A43Sv (i5@RM2399-2599/i7@RM2899), HP Dv4@RM2899, Inspiron 14R@RM2349, Asus U41Sv@RM2899~
I think the one underlined would be the best since the speakers will come in handy~
If you're going for looks, then the Acer 4830Tg will definitely be the pick~
Performance-wise (GPU), the HP Dv4 is so far the best at the moment, but since you only do light gaming, guess its not really needed...

For 15", its pretty much Acer 5750G, Asus N53Sn, and Lenovo Y560P
You can refer here for the prices of the Satellite E300 and Satellite L700: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1809427

Edited: Its N43SL, sorry bout that....
N43Sn don't exist in Malaysia

One forumer did see one during the PC fair.
Well, its up to Sasquatch to decide whether he wants a 14" or a 15"

+1, a forumer got this netbook + 3 years warranty during PC Fair, try to aim for that since netbooks are most of the time not meant to last long... warranty will be helpful

Yeah, I remembered HP used to offer 5 years warranty, not sure whether its still available now or not
But getting that on a netbook is not worth it as the technology will be obsoleted in no time
