Hmm, scientific communication mostly involves Microsoft Office, so there's noneed for a very powerful laptop
Can consider these:
14"
Fujitsu LH531-MYEAJ10532/45/46, B960 + nVidia G410M@RM1460, W7HB, color:Black/Red/Pink

Lenovo G470, B960 + Intel HD3000@RM1499, 2GB, 500GB, W7HP

Prices are in RRP, you can still bargain, and a 4GB RAM will cost you around RM70 or so

I see. thanks for the feedback!

Hi Sifus, im looking for a casual laptop for normal usage like movie, music, web browsing, light gaming. Any recommendation?

1. Preferred Brand: Any, but NO Acer
2. Budget - below 2.5k
3. Usage - movie, music, web browsing, light gaming
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - any

Brand: Asus or Dell and not so familiar with lenovo

Price Range: <RM 2800

Usage: Microsoft office, Data Analaysis on excel, assignments, some research (need good screen to prevent eye sore), web surfing, music and movie.

Prefer 14 inch

* I love SSD

"Light gaming" is pretty general bro
If it involves FB games only, then there's no need for a laptop with dGPU at all...
But I'm assuming here that you are doing some actual gaming:
14"
Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2199[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm); backlit keyboard optional

Lenovo
Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm) W7HB, colors: grey/red/blue
Y480 (5934-1161), i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650(GDDR5)@RM2499[JBL], 4GB(1600mhz), 500GB(5400rpm), backlit keyboard, FreeDOS, 2 years international warranty

The Y480 tops in terms of performance, but do take note that it doesn't come with an OS (OS-version is RM2.7k)

Hi all.. going to buy lap for my Sis

1. Preferred Brand : Any That Good
2. Budget : Below RM 1.2K

Fujitsu
LH531-MYE0100348, i3-2350M + Intel HD 3000@RM1299, color: red, freeDOS
LH531-MYE0100585/6/9, B970 + Intel HD 3000@RM1170, freeDOS, color: Red/Pink/Black

Lenovo

plsss help

Budget-line laptops are not as reliable as premium-line laptops... but it can be easily made up with good warranty support, hence I'm recommending Dell and Lenovo to you:
14"
Dell Inspiron 14, i3-2370M + Intel HD3000@RM1299[2.1kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP
Lenovo G470, B960 + Intel HD3000@RM1499, 2GB, 500GB, W7HP

*The price for the G470 may be a little bit outdated, do check with shops for more recent pricing and specs
*For both models, use the remaining money to extend to 3 years onsite warranty, that'll save you a lot of hassle

I like your siggy. Big fan of OP huh?

*Pardon unrelated to Mobile Computing

1. Preferred Brand : Asus , Dell or Lenovo
2. Budget : around RM2500
3. Usage : Assignment , web browsing , light gaming , study use (accounting and finance)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : any size but I want a laptop that is light because I need to carry it everyday to university.

have a think on Hp envy 4..

if u wan white color, u could consider asus u36sg...

- if insist of lenovo.model nameas U310, and U410 will do

Light is pretty subjective
How light is your light?
Are 2.2-2.4kg laptops considered as heavy for you?

Can consider these:
14"
Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2199[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm); backlit keyboard optional
Lenovo Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm) W7HB, colors: grey/red/blue

If you prefer something lighter (but weaker), then:
14"
Dell
[Ultrabook]Inspiron 14z, i3-2367M + Intel HD3000 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2099[1.87kg], 4GB, W7HP
[Ultrabook]Inspiron 14z, i5-3317U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB SSD + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2599[1.87kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm) *no VGA port

*Use your remaining money to extend warranty to 3 years

how about asus zenbook compare to dell and sony?

You wanted something with good after sales support no?
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2337458

Well that sums up everything.
Sony not my preference as well because of after sales service issue i had with them previously.
Dell would be it and so happen i should be able to get discount out of it.
Thanks

maybe a little off topic but if anyone is willing to buy the dell inspiron 14r
have a look at this overview i made.
