Pretty much that Vostro 3350...

Faster revolutions per minute, the faster you load your programs/read your HDD

Thanks a lot. =]

Added on May 7, 2011, 8:23 pmErm Last question : is Intel HD 3000 enough for Photoshop & InDesign ? I don't do video editing and gaming a lot, but I use InDesign most of the time. Can it handle?

Thanks.

InDesign runs fine on the older Intel HD.

I assume you do a lot of design work?

Does anybody have idea how heavy is a Dell Vostro 3350?

2.0KG with 4-cell ?
2.2KG with 8-cell..

And 2.28kg with the 6-cell.

Alright, just wondering if with 8-cell?

Logic tells me, around 2.4kg?

2.2KG with 8-cell...
2.6KG with 8-cell and charger..

Thanks guys for the prompt reply.
Just wondering if this spec is good enough for photos editing (Photoshop, LightRoom), video editing, movie watching and Internet surfing? No gaming.

2.2kg? Now that's interesting... I thought it would be heavier.

That's enough~

wait, perhaps that's for 6-cell...

Thanks, just wondering if it is upgradeable to 8GB RAM? I might do it later when the warranty expires.
Dell allows customisation up to 6GB which I have no intention to upgrade to 6GB now.

Oh no. I'm supposed to carry my company laptop when I'm back to my hometown, now I'm not sure if I should.
Plus all my photography stuffs, I have to carry a backpack that weighs more than 10KG.

More than enough. I have a friend who's still doing video editing on his old Lenovo with a Core 2.

4GB is overkill in 32-bit OS. 32-bit OS only support about 3GB of RAM. you need change or upgrade to Home Premium 64-bit.

Actually not much. I write them because I think they will be the heaviest job for my future laptop to do. Not much gaming actually (just some mini games - eg Plant vs Zombie :S )

I just checked out the lowyat's price list and found no notebook with the specification was listed. Hope that I still can get it.

Thanks for the advice!

Erm, Home Premium 64-bit? Will need to consider that then.
What did you mean by overkill?

Any amount of RAM more than 4GB is useless on a 32-bit OS. You need to get a 64-bit OS and the hardware can support 8GB.

Well, if you want something lighter, you could get a 12" subnotebook.
