It gets hot when on load, most laptops do....
Constant web surfing is not considered as "load" to a laptop nowadays haha  smile.gif

Thanks for reminding bro  notworthy.gif
Anyway, are you asking or just suggesting? haha  laugh.gif

For your laptop, its either Asus U41sv or Acer TimelineX 4830Tg  nod.gif

Sorry about that man! haha! Anyway i took a look at the models you suggested, what if:
1. Brand - any
2. Budget - 1.5 - 2.5k
3. Specs - non-gaming, college use, long battery life
4. Size - 14 inch

Budget got tighter...>.< if 2k also ok...
One more thing, is i3 processor sufficient if it is not for gaming, only using it for college work, movies, and browsing?

If it's SB then it's a yes.
I'm on an i5 with internal graphics, runs everything pretty smoothly, same usage as you are

what is SB?

If want lightweight, then its Acer TimelineX 4830Tg... Others are relatively heavier nod.gif
Reasons? Good looks, light, and long battery lives laugh.gif

If weight and battery life is not an issue:
Asus
A43Sv, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M(1GB)@RM2349[2.44kg], [6-cell 4400mAH]
A43Sv, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M(2GB)@RM2599[2.44kg], [6-cell 5200mAH]
A43Sv, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT540M@RM2999[2.44kg]
N43SL, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2699[2.4kg][Bang & Olufsen] *No USB3.0
N43SL (Jay-Chou edition), i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2799[Bang & Olufsen], *USB3.0, Colors: Gold/Red

is it very hard to get a good battery life laptop?

Err... we only recommend laptops based on your budget?  tongue.gif
Iirc, your budget is RM2k right?
U series is around RM2.8k, whereas UL series is no longer available here in Malaysia  sad.gif

My vote goes to Asus as well because of the standard 2 years international warranty nod.gif
Either
Asus A42Jz, P6200 + AMD HD6470@RM1599[2.2kg]
Asus K43U, AMD E-350 + AMD HD6310@RM1399[2.6kg], W7S, [6-cell 5200mAH]

will do  nod.gif
*Do take note that in other countries, they're A series = K series vice versa  nod.gif

Wow so expensive ah that series...so with a budget of around 2k, my choices that little?
