1. Preferred Brand: HP, Compaq, Lenovo, actually anything besides acer and asus

2. Budget: Below RM2400 (of cos cheaper will be better for my wallet)

3. Usage: Autocad, Presentations, Work

4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" and below

5. Criteria: must be reliable, MUST BE LIGHT (the lighter the better- will be travelling a lot)

If you want something light, can consider a 13" laptop:
Dell Vostro V131, i5-2430M + Intel HD3000@RM2299[1.82kg], W7HB

* Use the remaining money to extend warranty or upgrade to W7HP

If you don't mind older technology, you can consider this one as well:
Dell Inspiron 13R, i5-480M + Intel HD@RM1599

thx, but are there any others besides dell?

Imho, the Lenovo (all 3 units) are fine, but it'll be good if can extend the warranty to 3 years for peace of mind laugh.gif
The HP is kind of glossy, I don't really like it laugh.gif

If open to Asus,
Then definitely the:
N43SL, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2699[2.4kg][Bang & Olufsen] *No USB3.0
N43SL (Jay-Chou edition), i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M (2GB)@RM2799[Bang & Olufsen], *USB3.0, Colors: Gold/Red

...which one to choose depends on how much money you're willing to fork out hehe~
Asus N43Sl (normal version) can get at around RM2.3-2.4k

I need some help.. if lets say I use AutoCAD.. do I need a laptop with a dedicated graphic card or will the intergrated hd3000 suffice? Or would AutoCAD be more processor oriented?
