Usage: Moderate Gaming (Fifa, S2, HON...), Photo editing (Adobe Photoshop), media  and practically everything else (surfing, etc.)
Size: Nothing too small or too big. 15-17''

Note:

1) i5/i7
2) USB 3.0 port
3) At least 4GB RAM
4) Nothing weighing more than 3kg!
I had in mind Dell XPS 15. More suggestion so that I can visit Lowyat 1 day and try out all those laptop one shot myself!  biggrin.gif

go for xps 15 without doubt..go for full hd ..upgrade ram to 8gb ..upgrade to full hd..upgrade warranty to 3 years ..and backlit keyboard..also upgrade to 256gb ssd..that should work out best for you


Added on September 2, 2011, 2:00 ami just tried a asus n55..it looks really heavy..3kg for a 15 inches is very very heavy..in 1 year it will feel like a heavy rock...it will feel boring to carry a rock or a stone with you...dont buy any 15 inches more than 2.5 kg..

LightScribe SuperMulti DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support & Blu-ray ROM
- LightScribe means you can make images directly on the disc cover, need special disc for this.
- Can read Bluray disc, which usually means FullHD movies.
- Can do everything SuperMulti DVD±R/RW Double Layer can do, read/write dvd/cd

How about Acer Aspire One Happy Netbook?

I've seen Toshiba NB520, it is being sold at a nearby PC fair for RM999. Worth the price?

Closest would be:
Asus A53Sv, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M (1GB)@RM2349, USB3.0

or

Dell Inspiron 15R, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM2299
