Usage : Surfing, Photo Editing, Gaming (Diablo III, Dota, NFS and etc) 4. Preferred laptop/screen size : not more than 14" currently in my mind is Dell XPS14z & XPS13, but i think XPS13 is not suitable for gaming. as for XPS14z the battery is build in, will that be okay if i use it for long hour? regards, arthur

It all depends on your usage, if your photo editing is quite intense, then choosing a laptop with an i7 processor would be a better pick, i.e. 14" Lenovo (not exactly your preferred brand but still can be considered) Y470, i7-2670QM + Nvidia GT550M (2GB)@RM2799[JBL], W7HP, 4GB, 750GB (5400rpm), Lenovo P350 headset OR 2 years warranty Y480, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT640M@2999[JBL] *upcoming If gaming is your top priority, then the AW m14x is pretty much your only choice Actually gaming not my top priority. But I will use it for gaming, I really not a fan of alienware. In my mind is xps14z -i7, 8gb ram, 256ssd. But the gpu is NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 520M 1GB graphics. Is it enough for games like diablo3, Nfs and etc?

Doubt it can handle d3 properly. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphi...List.844.0.html Added on April 14, 2012, 10:05 am If you can wait, please do Really weak it seems. It left me only AW. I like dell because of their after sale service. Let say I dun care the brand (but please exclude Acer/hp) any other model suit my requirement?

Usage is for college use, which mean assignment and document work and also light gaming, watching movie and a need do little design sometimes 4. Preferred screen size 13 and below and 1.5kg below,I need to bring it travel around, so I wishing it can be small and light based on your requirement, there are few of them that you can consider.. maybe top up another 500 to get dell ultrabook. Acer [Ultrabook] Aspire S3, i5-2467M + Intel HD3000@RM2599[1.35kg], 320GB HDD HP [Ultrabook] Pavilion dm3-1001TU (Folio 13), i5-2467M + Intel HD3000 + 128GB SSD@RM2999[1.49kg], W7HP Lenovo [Ultrabook] U300e, i5-2467M + Intel HD3000 + (500GB HDD + 32GB SSD)@RM2899 *upcoming Samsung [Ultrabook] 5 series 530U3B, i5-2467M + Intel HD3000 + (16GB SSD + 500GB [5400rpm])@RM2699[1.45kg], 4GB
