If work is more important -> ThinkPad Edge 11
If game is more important -> HP DM1z

The fact that I'm not really sure if I'm gonna need it right away or not
Of course getting one now to prepare for college is good, but I'm afraid I might regret if Llano is MUCH more better than how AMD compared it to Intel's SB
Desperation magician!
I guess I'll give it some time till some news comes out for the Llano-based laptops
I read/saw a lot of reviews stating that the dm1z got an annoying fan issue

@Koki, you're right about the noisiness of the Dm1z, which shouldn't be there on a subnotebook....

@raymond-kyeow
Reviews on both units:
Edge 11- http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo...ok.40611.0.html



Dm1z- http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-HP-Pav...ok.49230.0.html



Based on the reviews, the ThinkPad Edge 11 is better

A similar spec for the dm1z will be the Thinkpad x120e
Though it's ugly
Check out the review

Oh, really thanks alot man. =) It helps alot

Guys, whats good with a budget of 4000 to 6000?

Acer G53 series / Sager NP8150.

dear sifus,

can pls help recommend a laptop...14" for studying...
but must hv microsoft power point for doing presentation ( is this microsoft students 2010 c/w excel, words & powerpoint? )
prefer intel....thks....budget preferably below 2k

thks

between the N43SL and A43SV , which has better battery life span ??

N43SL, it also has better build quality and speaker.

If N43SL has Nvidia Optimus, then it'll probably have better battery life...
We're not too sure whether it has it or not...
We're not too sure about the battery capacity as well due to the confusing details in brochures...
But I think A series has higher battery capacity, in which it'll offer more battery life
Updated: The N43SL says it probably have Nvidia Optimus since 2 GPUs are detected
