1. Brand. Probably ASUS, Toshiba or Lenovo. (I heard laptop life is longer than other brands)
2. Budget. Probably around 1.8-2.5k
3. Specs. I don't understand computer parts so sorry cant provide info on this.
4. Size. probably 14" and above.

Err... if that's the budget range, then its not possible to get one which has a better GPU than the AMD 6570  sad.gif
The cheapest laptop with Nvidia GT540m is around RM2.3k

2.3k x.x.. If I run games like L4D on low specs, which GPU would suffice?

oh and, I heard about AMD 350 1.6Hz being value for money. any thoughts?

thank you for your opinions!

I think I'm gonna survey all laptops first tomorrow, then post it here again, then probably purchase the laptop on saturday.

Anything I should look out for when surveying at the pc fair?

sorry asking this twice.. buying another one, lol

1. brand :ASUS, Acer or HP (since the shop only offers these 3 =.=)
preferably not Acer, I hate their dolby speakers.

2. budget : under 2-2.5k. can increase to 3k, but dont wanna burden parents

3. specs
any core on par with Intel i5...
graphics- enough to play games like l4d2, LoL, dota and starcraft2
ram minimum of 2gb, but maybe gonna go for 4gb

4. size - doesnt matter
