Thank You for all of u help me~

13 inch Toshiba Portege T230 (U5400 + Intel HD@~RM1.8k) seems to fit the description... Its light and offers decent battery life
Or if you prefer more processing power and less battery life and higher weight, then can consider Dell Inspirons 13R...

Asus 1215b would be good as well for daily computing but it runs on AMD

Added on March 15, 2011, 6:42 pmI doubt the U41Jf can hit the 10 hours battery mark haha
Anyway, other alternatives include Asus U36Jc (i5-480M + G310M@RM3k; 13 inch, 1.7kg), Acer 3820TG/4820TG (i5-480M + ATI 6550@RM2.2k-2.4k), Lenovo V470 (i7-2630QM + Intel HD graphics 3000@RM2699)... its either more processing power, or longer battery lives... Do take note that these laptop won't last 10 hours as well since they're 13/14 inchers...

i have a shell shocker for you dell launched new inspiron 14r
at rm 2349 online price you can get a i5 2410m+ radeon 6630m (480sps+gddr3)

now gt 540m/gt 550m they are on par or have the same caliber of radeon 5650/5730/6550/6570 gddr3

so graphic wise 6630 will beat gt 550m or will be equal to it so xps 15 have weaker gc than inspiron 14r btw 6630m is heavily downclocked @485 mhz you guys can easily oc to 600mhz~650 mhz.

also i want to some recommend about 13 inch light laptops within 2k with mid graphics like 6550 in it

only model i see is acer 3820tg with i3 380m+6550 is there any other brands? like this spec from asus/hp/dell/toshiba/msi/lenovo etc?

i really prefer a i5+6550 with a 13 inch.

ThinkPad Edge 13 doesnt come with Intel Core i3 or Core i5 model

ThinkPad Edge 14(0578K6A) Intel Core i3-380M/2GB/320GB/14"/Intel HD/W7P@RM2599
ThinkPad Edge 14(0578Q7A) Intel Core i5-480M/2GB/500GB/14"/Intel HD/W7P@RM2799

extend warranty from 1 year carry-in to 3 years carry-in will be RM580

Dell has good after sales services.
Might want to try Dell XPS L401X - 74452G (RRP RM3,399), will be a bit flashy tho
1.73GHZ Intel Core i7 Q740M
4GB DDR3 1333 MHz Memory
500GB 7200-rpm hard drive
Nvidia GeForce GT425 - 2GB

Which one? LOL. xD

So dayum expensive laaaa their warranty.

Yup, there are new models from Dell:
14 inch Dell Inspiron 14R (i5-2410M+AMD HD 6630@~RM2.4k)
15 inch Dell Inspiron 15R (i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT525@RM2.7k)
and a lot of SB Latitude laptops
The AMD HD 6630 should be around the same level as ATI 6550? Need to wait for benchmarks...

13 inch with i5 + 6550? Acer 3820TG only as you've mentioned haha
Perhaps you should wait for the new Acer 3830?
Nothing comparable from other brands at the moment I think

Total war series , COD and SCII
14" or 15"
battery life as long as possible~
Thank you~

They're expensive for a reason haha
Which one to choose depends on your requirements and budget?

Added on March 15, 2011, 6:54 pmN53SN (i7-2630QM + GT550M@RM3499)
N53SV (i5-2410M + GT540@RM2799)
Acer 5750G (i7-2630QM + GT540M@~RM2.8k)
HP Dv6 (i7-2630QM + ATI 5670@~RM3.2k)
Lenovo Y560P (i7-2630QM + ATI5670@~RM3k)
Dell XPS 15 (i5-2410M+ GT540@~RM3.3k)
Dell XPS 15 (i7-2630QM + GT540M@~RM3.7k)

Virtually no gaming 14 inch in the market at the moment haha... do take note that the ones above are 15 inchers, they will be heavy
Not sure which one has the longest battery life though, battery life generally would be around 3-4 hours+ if the laptop supports GPU switching...

I posted you a reply on page 2
I guess you can go for ThinkPad X120e, for your usage I'm still thinking the E-350 processor will handle very well

Guys is Lenovo Y560P good?

Without GPU switching, its not as good as its rivals in terms of battery life...

Are the new Dell Inspiron 15R out?

who is its rival?

so asus n53sn is a better pick?

HD6570M vs GT550M

14" for gaming will announce this few weeks?
i will take note and compare for this few model
thank you for ur help~

yes

Dell Inspiron 15R Intel Core i7-2630QM/4GB RAM/500GB/15.6"/Geforce GT525M(1GB)/W7HP@RM2699
come with two USB 3.0

my sis is the one want to use
because i saw the red colour edge 13/14 (not sure ) with i3, 2099
quite solid
so i think quite suits her


but so far thinkpad x200 still my favourite
i always borrow my friend's x200
my friend didnt take care of it, roll all around in the car, fold it to flat during presentation(use it as a note), squeeze it into backpack full with stuffs , almost 3 years liao, still tough yo
