Does having a 2GB GPU makes the laptop more prone to overheating like the i7 processor?

A43Sj, i3-2310M, Nvidia GT520M is better (2 years free international warranty)
Aspire 4750, i5-2410M, Intel HD3000@RM1999, 2nd gen i5
if consider others
add some for
MSI FX420, i5-2410M + AMD HD6470@RM2099>>3 years warranty
Aspire 4750G, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT 520@RM2199[2.3kg], 3 years local limited warranty

Aspire 4750, i5-2410M, Intel HD3000, 4G Ram, free pen drive @ RM1899

You can try looking for these 2 models:
Asus A43Sj, i3-2310M + Nvidia GT520M@RM1999[2.44kg], Colors:Red/Blue/Pink/Green/Gold/Black
Lenovo G470, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM1999

Personally I would go for the G470, it has a better keyboard, and looks great as well
The Asus for the wide range of colors and the 2 years international warranty

guys help for my friend.

budget : rm1.5k (maximum)
usage : university works, engineering software, easy to carry.

tq. he want to buy on this sunday. i suggest him go for HP DM1z. got others?

This will be better, but he'll need to sacrifice abit in terms of portability... but the overall performance gain and the bigger screen would be good for his work :
Asus X42DE, AMD Phenom II N830 + ATI HD5470@RM1499[2.2kg], FreeDOS, Colors: Black/Blue/Red/White

freedos hard for him la TJ. he dont know about installing windows

so if go for HP DM1z , rugi ke?

1. BRAND
Any,except Dell & Acer

2. BUDGET
Below rm2600...lower is better

3. Specs
- Core:i7
- DVD-RW
- wifi
- free dos @ any OS
- high GPU
- need speed

4. Size
-any size...prefer larger
-currently have Sony Vaio VPCEA42EG (still lagging for certain software)

The HP DM1z surely won't be enough for engineering softwares haha
I think he should consider those cheap 14" instead... those are still way better than the DM1z

oh really? im also feel if doing autocad will lagg like hell. hehe
so go for that ASUS?

ASUS K43U or Acer 4253-E350
And yes HP dm1z will rugi because of the fan problem

so koki got others recommendations?

Those are the only ones I have Netbooks aren't really that famous in M'sia

With budget of 1.5k, would I be better off getting 12" netbook or 13" notebook?

thinking of asus X42DE

For the netbook, I'm thinking of Asus Eee PC 1215B.

For the notebook, haven't had any idea yet.

Which 13'' notebook under RM1.5K ?

so sifu lee what do you think?

Asus X42DE or HP DM1z?

usage : he needs portability, engineering software (autocad) but the amd e-350 seem lack of processing power?
