I am in the market for that kinda budget as well, mainly looking at netbook for the missus to use. At the same time I do not want it to be darn slow like the atom units out there.

I have shortlisted to these 2 - lenovo s205 & hp dm1-4200.

My dilemma is that the hp have the latest processor but the design is known to produce heat at places... i probably go for the lenovo based on that, what a waste, i would've liked the slight improvement by the new cpu power

Good to have you back

The Inspiron 14R SE with GT640m would be the best pick in terms of overall performance and also after sales support

Is there such a laptop? Please advice, and thank you!

I see.. A few days ago I went to a shop(in Kelantan) and they recommended me Asus N56 and HP dv4, both RM2699. N56 is quite big and heavy for me, and I would like to ask how do you see N46?

Oh, and a friend of mine suggest me to buy Lenovo Y480(around RM2.5k), said although it's built for gaming, it has a better spec : price ratio compared to Asus.

Now I'm clueless of which to choose (I don't know much about laptops, but I like one built for entertainment)

Please help!

I don't think we have the N46 yet?
Go for the laptop that you need and like, not the laptop with the highest specs..
The Y480 does offer very good specs for the price, but since you're not exactly into gaming, then there's no real need to get such a high end GPU

Really? I asked the shop, they said they didn't order the N46 as they think the price is not quite reasonable, it's more or less the same as N56, so I assume that there is N46 here.

Aww~ that's why I came here to asked for advices. Well, it seems to be a bit clear for me now, thanks. But I still need to do some homework in this...

Hi bro, need some recommendation.

Brand : Asus, Lenovo
Budget : RM 2 - 2.5k
Usage : Mainly for gaming
Screen : 14"
