Hey guys...im a student and i would like to have a laptop with good switchable graphics (to watch HD movies occasionally) and above average audio... preferably something with a second gen i3 or i5 processor...13 to 15 inch...not too heavy <2.5kg and island keyboard... USB 3.0 will be a plus =)
budget -- 3k at most
brand -- asus,dell,hp,samsung? im open to others though

so i've looked around in lowyat and on the web and found a few that really caught my eye
1 - Asus U41SV second gen i5 but bad audio n so so graphics RM2899
2 - samsung RC410 good audio good graphics but first gen i5 RM2299
3 - Asus N53SV 2nd gen i5..not sure abt graphics n audio RM2899
4 - Asus a42 series with 2nd gen i3 or i5 RM 2699?

im kinda in love with samsung rc410...n u41...can any1 advice me on this...or give suggestions? thanks =)

wow...thanks for the fast reply! =)
hmm icic....rc410 has the worst graphics...din see that coming....it looked pretty smooth n sharp while playing a HD vid (not sure 720p or 1080p)..and the sound system was amazing...tried it in lowyat yesterday...wayyy better than the u41 n few others that i was actually keen in. the only one that matched it's audio was the inspiron 14r.

as for the u41...i was quite taken by the design n all...but the flimsy keyboard (the whole thing sinks down when applied a little pressure) n the soft speaker was pretty much a turn off...=/ but those two negatives aside...is u41sv a good buy? performance n durability wise...=D and is samsung a good brand? or shud i go one of the asus mentioned? thanks again!

oh kk then...thanks so much every1!! =D
