1. Brand: if possible toshiba, dell, acer, lenovo and asus. but im open to other brands too.
2. Budget: RM3,000 + RM100
3. *Usage: casual gaming, deal with assignments,( im a uni student)
4. Size: 13'~14' not too big maybe can accept 15' too( depend on the weight and design), mobility and weight comes to mind.

more to appearance than specs means i want a nice lappy to look at^^
if possible, the thinner the better.

***the price must be more than 3k but less than 3.1k***
(i got my reasons)

hope you guys can help out. thanks a bunch in advance.

2. Budget: RM3,000 and below
3. *Usage: research and matlab
4. Size: 14'~17'

if no game, hd3000 should do the job

14"
Pretty much Lenovo Y470, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT550M@RM2999[JBL]
Not a lot of laptops are priced at between RM3-3.1k haha

Added on August 4, 2011, 5:45 pmYeah, G470 is a good choice
Koki has bought one and clarified that there's no wifi problems iinm, do PM me for better feedbacks~
Other alternatives:
Acer Aspire 4750, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM1899[2.3kg]
Dell Inspiron 14, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM1999
Dell Vostro 1450, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM1949

Added on August 4, 2011, 5:48 pmIinm, Matlab may rely on both CPU and GPU, so its best to go for a laptop that's powerful in both, which pretty much leads to:
HP (15.6)
Dv6-6001TX, i7-2630QM + AMD HD6770@RM3499 [2.63kg]; Beats headphones
Dv6-6114TX, i7-2630QM + AMD HD6770 + BluRay@RM3799 [Beats][2.63kg], [4GB RAM] Beats headphones, HP optical mouse, HP 500GB external HDD
Dv6-6108TX, i7-2720QM + AMD HD6770 + BluRay@RM4721 [Beats][2.63kg], [8GB RAM] Beats headphones; HP optical mouse, HP AIO printer; 3 years onsite warranty

Some forumer managed to get one for RM2.9k without Beats headphones

miahaah.. the above laptops will pawn mine..

@[PF]T.J.
how about dell inspiron 14r?

This one I presume?
Dell Inspiron 14R, i7-2620M + AMD HD6630@RM3099

The CPU and GPU is not as good as that of Lenovo Y470's Speakers also not as good
Summore the Inspiron R series is very glossy...

14"
Toshiba
Tecra R840-2002U, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM3285(Hikari85), W7P
Tecra R840-2003X, i5-2410M + AMD HD6450@RM3750(Hikari85), W7P

15" (customize to W7P)
Dell
XPS 15, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM3299 [JBL], upgradeable to FullHD, backlit keyboard customizable
XPS 15, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT540M@RM3699 [JBL], upgradeable to FullHD, backlit keyboard customizable
XPS 15z, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT525M (1GB) + (1920x1080)@RM3799[2.51kg], backlit keyboard
XPS 15z, i7-2620M + Nvidia GT525M (2GB) + (1920x1080)@RM4599[2.51kg], backlit keyboard

The Y560 with HD6570 doesn't support switchable GPU, so Y470 has longer battery life....

ohh..that y470 really one bang for buck lappy.

thanks^^

XPS 15z dont have professional window version, any other choice beside Dell ?
Anyplace to get Toshiba in KL area ?

You can check with Dell online on whether there's any W7P customization for Dell XPS 15z (sometimes the upgrades are not shown on the web unfortunately [personal experience ]
As for Toshiba, you can find/ pre-order it at Lowyat Plaza or Digital Mall...
Or you could just PM garage sales members hikari85, devour, marcus20125 etc.

Do take note that the Dell XPS 15 is better in terms of performance than the Tosh

1. Brand= Toshiba, Asus, Dell
2. Budget= 4k+
3. Usage= Uni studies, some gaming and photoshop
4. Size= 15"
5. Spec= i5 or i7 sandy bridge, decent graphic card for gaming, usb 3.0, backlit keyboard(bonus) and if possible 1080p full HD
