Guys, really need help. Dilemma

- budget not more than RM2300
- 14" or 15.6"
- Light gaming, movie
- Good battery lifetime.
- Optional for better keyboard, speaker, and display screen.

Currently considering models:

- Dell 14R (RM2299)
- N53SV-SX256V or N53SV-SX255V, but over budget
- A43SV-VX073V

Which 1 to choose ?

N series is much more better with optimus feature, the battery life can be longer

Try to go for N43Sl and N53Sv instead... I believe with the proper amount of bargaining, getting them at RM2.3k is possible

im decided to quick overview with 3 model below...

any suggestion..
which one is better between 3 listed model?
budget : below 2.5k

Dell Inspiron 14R, i5-2410M + AMD HD6630 2.38kg
Acer TimelineX 4830TG, i5-2410M + GT540M 2.2kg
HP Pavilion G4-1112/1113TX, i5-2410M + AMD HD6470 2.1kg

What is the significant differences between N43Sl and the N 53SV?

Asus N43Sl is the better choice, might want to consider that one instead, price is around RM2.5k as well
i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M, Bang & Olufsen speakers *No USB3.0

apart from the screen size, nothing much, same configuration

They are basically similar in every way apart from the size
Do take note that both doesn't have USB 3.o (N43, N53S i5 variant)

Hi All, I'm new to laptop, as I'm going to oversea soon, not planning to "import" any desktop overthere. Would like to ask for recommendation.
- budget not more than RM3500
- 14" or 15.6"
- Heavy gaming (not necessary go for high setting but can play most of latest titles), movie, entertainment.
- Good/Average battery lifetime.
- Optional for webcam, better sound and display etc
- Not consider mobility as most of the time will use at home (So, weight is not major issue)

Currently in mind
Asus, HP and Lenovo.

Questions:
Is i5 enough for decent gaming or need to go for i7?
Thanks

im looking notebook weight below 2.4kg bro...

next month my sis will study abroad.. need lightweight lappy and gud performance..

Since portability is not really a problem, I would suggest you go for a 15" laptop
Can consider these:
Asus (2 years international warranty)
N55Sf-S2043v [black], i5-2410M + Nvidia GT555m (2GB)@RM2799[Bang & Olufsen]; USB3.0, Sonic Master subwoofer
N55Sf-SX047v, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT555m (2GB) + Bluray@RM3699[Bang & Olufsen]; USB3.0, Sonic Master subwoofer
G53Sx-SZ039v, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GTX560M (2GB)@RM3999, backlit keyboard, gaming backpack & mouse

HP (*Rm3.1k without beats)
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

MSI
GE620-DX, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT555M (2GB)@RM2999, 8GB RAM *Extend to international warranty

Suggested some slightly more expensive laptops for your consideration as well
CPU doesn't bring about much performance differences in games, so no worries there hehe~

The slight addition of weight will be well worth it imho~
Otherwise can consider Dell's Vostro 3450 too
Vostro 3450, i5-2410M + AMD HD6630@RM2577, backlit keyboard, Belkin HDMI cable, 1 year accidental warranty

May I know where can I find Acer TimelineX 3830TG at lowyat plaza?
By the way, i saw Garage Sale here Dell Vostro V131 wit 2nd generation Intel Core i5-2410M processor 2.30 GHz just selling at RM1900. Is it more worth buying compare to the Acer TimelineX 3830TG?

Well, do you need the nVidia GT540M ?
