Hi guys, I have a budget of around RM3000 +/- 200. I use it for browsing and occasional gaming (COD, HoN etc)

Currently I've narrowed it down to the Asus N53SV-SD557V and Acer 5750G (the one with 8GB RAM).

Asus in general seem to have better reviews on durability than Acer laptops. But among these 2, the only gripe I have about the Asus is the 4GB RAM.

Do I really need 8GB of RAM? My current desktop has 4GB and running only windows vista, seems fine. Should I buy a laptop with more RAM than that for use in the future?

And is there any option to customize and add more RAM and top-up the price to get more RAM for the Asus?

EDIT: Don't mind about size, as long as it is below 3kg haha

Hey, thanks for the prompt replies

As far as I know, can only buy Asus laptops straight from resellers right? How do I upgrade the RAM then?
After purchase, get some memory modules and upgrade it myself? Isn't there a warranty sticker sealing the openings?

Just checked out the HP Pavillion dv6, but it starts at RM3699, which is out of budget for me. No mentions about RM3199 without beats headphones though (as stated in lowyat price catalog).

But the HD 6770M is better than the GT540m HMMMMM
Tough choices

One side-question: If a notebook has 4 RAM bays, I can put up to 4GB per memory bay on any notebook right?

Btw, anyone knows where I can get the HP Pavillion dv6 without the Beats headphones? HP Malaysia only sells it in a bundle

EDIT: Made new thread since I'm torn between two lappies
