I'm looking for a laptop that can run games and softwares smoothly. That laptop must can run this game smoothly :
Minimum specification for the game :
Windows XP:
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.2 Ghz or AMD 2500+
System RAM: 1GB
Video Card NVIDIA 5200 or ATI Radeon 9600
Video RAM 128MB

Windows Vista / Windows 7:
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3.0Ghz or AMD 3400+
System RAM: 2GB
Video Card NVIDIA 5750 or ATI Radeon X300
Video RAM 128MB

Can any of the HP models I stated run this game? If all 3 can run, which is better if I used this laptop mainly for gaming and using softwares like Sony Vegas, Photoshop, Illustrator..Pretty much most designing softwares, video softwares and game softwares.

I went to the PC fair yesterday and today and the prices is similar only differences is what free items can get with the purchase. The 1113TX model came with free 8gb ram upgrade and 1205TX 6gb ram upgrade.

In terms of specs, which is better?
Will it be worth it if I choose 8gb ram or 6gb ram upgrade?

With the price range of RM2K, better get
Asus A43Sm-VX102v, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT630M@RM2099[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB (5400rpm)
If your really intend to game.

The AMD HD6470M on HP G4 is just entry level graphic card, which soon be weaker than Intel integrated GPU.

I googled, and its weight is 2.7kg blink.gif I'm looking for a lighter notebook.
And I'm not sure about this but my mom said someone told her to not buy Asus because they didnt maintain the quality since so many students are buying it. But my brother recommend Asus and we're now confused.
