Oh I din't add products not stated in the brochure to prevent confusions haha
Yea, the Acer seemed to be the best at the moment 

Any idea how to get the thread pinned? 

well, Inspiron 14R is cheaper than A42Jp and has the latest hardware, thus i booted A42Jp out of the list...

in act, een 4830TG is cheaper than A42Jp...

CA15 is overpriced spec-wised in comparison. But then it's a VAIO. You more or less pay for it.

OMG, so fast already got people buy liao haha 
Thanks for the notification sifu, will update the pricelist

Added on March 27, 2011, 10:08 pmSeems like there's a contender for the Acer 4830TG from Asus - A43Sv 
Abit pricier, but comes with 2 years international warranty 
But in terms of quality maybe the Acer would still be better 

Just did a Google search, I think it comes with the newer design 
Just love the brownish-colored palm rest.... I think they're becoming a trend haha 

Not really just Apple. Dell, HP, Sony also sometimes does it e.g. Alienware M11x, Dell Adamo/Adamo XPS, Vaio SB.
Good or bad ah, pretty much can say good for me since I don't take mine out so doesn't make any difference to me.
Cons: of course the heat.
Apple try to reduce the heat by moving the battery to the palm rest area and the fan/heatsink at the back, but this sacrifice port arrangement since that means the half left and right side will be empty and with the hinge design, port at the back also impossible, leaving only the half right and left open.
While for Acer, they keep the normal arrangement, battery at the back and the heatsink/fan just beside it, might cause problem.
Pros: Can save some space from the mechanism to lock/unlock battery and tougher construction since can just make it one whole block case instead some space reserved by the battery.
