The Portege's quality is not poor yo

Summore it comes with 3 years international warranty, will come in handy if you're always travelling abroad

Apart from the Portege, there's the Dell Vostro V131 [Not recommending Inspiron 13z due to the lack of a VGA port, which I assume you'll need for presentations]
Dell
Vostro V131, i3-2330M + Intel HD3000@RM2099[1.82kg], W7HB
Vostro V131, i5-2430M + Intel HD3000@RM2299[1.82kg], W7HB
* + warranty extension to 3 years, useful since warranty support is on-site

Others:
Sony Vaio VPCSB26FG, i5-2410M + AMD HD6470@RM3299[1.72kg], colors: White/Silver/Pink/Blue/Black
Asus U31Sd-RX146v, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT520M@RM2999[1.88kg], OD
Asus U36Sd-RX084v, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT520M@RM2999[1.78kg]; USB3.0 external OD, Asus optical mouse
Its the teledynamics support that concern me..
