Anyone knows a good area in the Klang valley for me to check out some Asus laptops? Or perhaps even a Lowyat forum contact to purchase from?

Budget? Usage? Preferred screen size?

Oh right, sorry. I was thinking the Asus U41SV. Usage mostly for university work so I need something light and with a good battery life. Screen about 14 inch so it's just big enough for me to read notes from. Though with a bit of gaming capabilities for when I'm on the go. I'll be getting a new desktop PC for the more high end gaming so that part isn't really a huge issue.

Alright, so for now i'm deciding between the Asus U41SV and Acer 4830TG. I'm fine with the integrated battery thing. It's a bit hard for me to find specs for the Acer laptop though, does anyone know it's full spec and perhaps a reliable review?

Also, as an added note, I'm heading to the UK in a month so i'll need one with good international warranty! And, as usual, i'm open to any more recommendations

Oh man, thank you so much. I owe you one ice milo!

Warranty aside, any insight into any major differences between the two laptops?

Not sure if this is a stupid question but for the Asus U41SV, is it possible to upgrade the chipset to an i7? Also, for anyone who owns this, just wondering if the battery life claims of 10 hours is anywhere accurate.

Anyone has any idea if Asus will be announcing any new line laptops soon? Because if not i'm planning on getting the U41SV soon. Also, not sure where else to post this but does anyone has any quick tips on proper care for laptop batteries?

Ooh, yeah I'm interested in the U series in particular. When do you think the new U series specs will be announced?

Hi guys, need recommendation for a friend of mine. First off, the clause here is that she's living in Canada so it's going to have to be available there.

Brand: Any
Size: 15.6 inch or less. Preferably 14 inch.
Budget: Less than Canadian $500 (So about... RM1556) before tax
Uses/Specs: Basic use. Mostly for writing up reports and doing the usual like watching movies and listening to music. For her sake, preferably one that has good battery life, no heating problems and since she loves Skyping, a good webcam. Furthermore, something light so she can lug it around everywhere.

Yeah, she's there now and due to unforeseen circumstances, her old HP laptop died due to tea-based injuries. So she needs to buy a new one there and currently knows close to nothing about laptop purchasing.

Hmm, alright, I'll check it out, thanks.

Alright, any other options other than Asus? Also, any recommendation of anything a little lighter?
