I need a recommendation on laptops to run my engineering softwares (solidworks, ansys, autocad etc) and I'm mid range gamer (HoN, still HoN). My budget is around 2500 and I prefer Asus laptops. Just wonder, is Asus laptop quality built one of the best?

Preferable brand: Asus
Budget: RM2500
LCD: 14 - 15"
Others: thin and lightweight
Usage: solidworks, ansys, mid range games.

ur advices will be much appreciated. thanks

I'm making comparison between a43sv-vx073v and a43v-vx053v.
Both same spec except for:
1. HDD 640gb vs 500gb
2. Graphic GT540M 2gb VRAM vs GT540M 1gb VRAM.

I wanna ask if the graphic ram really make the big difference? btw, i'm going to use my laptop for paper works, engineering simulation, and medium gaming. If graphic ram doesn't really matter i'll go for 1gb VRAM.. need advice thanks!

ok thanks. i've made up my mind.
btw, 14" or 15.6"? what's the weight difference? anyone knows?
because both laptops stated at same price..

thanks ivan and T.J for being so helpful in giving advices. cheers!
