QUOTE(Nidz @ May 23 2011, 12:33 AM) well, my main concern is based on these: 1) weight (priority) 2) SSD 3) Battery Life 4) proc 5) gc (will use for work, maybe some for hd multimedia) based on ur recommendation, it seems that MBA is cheaper than 9 series. r830, though same price with MBA, doesnt hav ssd... so MBA is a actually a good choice? The 9 series is more expensive but it packs more power in it. Also, if you're going for the new MBA... there might be a new one coming out in about June or July. (Speculations!)

Personally I'd go for ASUS Dell's price is just so high! They FORCE you to take their crapware like McAfee to name oneAs stated by PF TJ, the N53 series does have some flexing on the keyboard, but a mild one  My friend owns a N53SV This post has been edited by Koki: May 23 2011, 06:51 PM

QUOTE(Lance XIII @ May 23 2011, 07:18 PM) so if i want to use for gaming then i should get the A53SV ? coz i see the specs about the same only. just that N53SV has the B&O Speaker. Special speakers and different looks or whatnot, it's just all the nice features. If you don't need those, getting the A53SV is fine

QUOTE(telur @ May 23 2011, 10:21 PM) im looking for opinions . hope u guys can help . its hard to decide . budget : 3k plus minus usage : ALL IN ONE . ( abit of gaming , movies , works and internet ) REALIABILITY is the main concern . I assume ALL for sound quality and everything ASUS N43SL or ASUS N52SV (bulkier) or ASUS U-series (light weight) Dell Inspiron 14R and 15R Might want to wait for the Dell XPS 15z too This post has been edited by Koki: May 23 2011, 10:34 PM

QUOTE(mentos @ May 24 2011, 08:33 PM) Lenovo G470 i5-2410 and HP Pavilion dm4-1210tx See? Listing out the models are better  And yes, I did play with the G470 myself and it feels like I'm molesting a hot chick HP on the other hand is just very conventional with their ways of selling laptops and it's just not appealing yet expensive

QUOTE(telur @ May 25 2011, 01:53 AM) 14 inch . heard good reviews of asus and lenovo brand . any good models to recommand ? must be stable . it doesnt matter new or old . in terms of warranty which is better and faster ? thanks in advance Good models would be getting those brands that they advertise a lot on because it'll probably have more work done to make sure it's good (for reputation) For ASUS is the N-series ASUS N43SL - i5-2410M + GT540M 1GB + 4GB DDR3 + B&O speakers! I don't know about Lenovo's series  Added on May 25, 2011, 1:58 am^Agreed with lee_what This post has been edited by Koki: May 25 2011, 01:58 AM

Thanks to pandera999, (P.F) T.J, and lee_what2004 for their help in choosing a best notebook for me. Asus got no more warranty card, the seller told me to register online. Congrats on your purchase http://support.asus.com/ServiceHome.aspx?SLanguage=en Go register it
