I think ok ok only wo...what's your friends' and sisters' laptops' brand?

is a43sj worth the bucks ? i3-2310M (2 core)-2.1GHz 14" HD Color Shine(LED) 2GB DDR3 500GB-5400rpm NV GT520 1GB DDR3 6 Cell 5200mAH Win7 Premium (64-bit) for RM1999.. was considering getting A43SV but really tempted by A43SJ red color ! which is better choice? is there any big difference between i3 and i5 ?

Depends on your usage bro
If you use it to play some Flash games, surf on FB and such then an i5 or an i3 won't make any difference. Instead, an i5 would be overkill for your usage.
If you're a gamer then an i5 would be good.

oh.. maybe some games like L4D2, warcraft or online games?

Okay
Eying the Lenovo G470?

Curious, which laptop are you using now? harman/kardon powered?

Yeah, eyeing on something cheap
What if... running games with Portal 2-like graphics?
And hackintoshable? Wanna dual boot
Best if can run on vanilla kernel

The G470 would be a very good option due to the ergonomic keyboard (LOL, I dunno repeat how many times liao )
I think Portal 2 has rather demanding graphics? Dun think the Intel HD3000 can really handle the game, but I'm not too sure since I've never played before...
Can't comment on hackintosh as well, no experience, sorry

Portal 2 runs on a highly optimized Source engine. I could play HL2 with a GMA x3100. Portal 2 should be no sweat for the HD3000.

Seriously still wanna have a look at it though
As I know the graphics card are more on gaming and CPU is used more for rendering for AutoCAD, Photoshop and video editing right? Only hardcore stuff needs GC as a sidekick?
Please correct me if I'm wrong

@AlexLai Portal 2 somehow laggy if I got it to max graphics on my HD3870 Ultimate

From bruceleestore

And someone posted a problem about it. I use network transferring heavily, so this might be an issue for me.

I'm guessing it's all down to driver optimization. The then ATi HD3xxx times was still a bad time for ATi.

I hope so.
Some prices of the G470 i5 version without the graphic card is jumping so crazily
Prices range from RM1799 to RM2100
Any specific problems with this model?

If looking at other models with an i5 without dedicated graphic card, what would you guys recommend?
Budget as low as possible, 13/14 inch and also have dedicated multimedia keys with at least one USB 3.0 (if possible)
