hey everybody..few months ago i asked for suggestions and you all said that the dell inspiron 14r would be great.
I bought it from lowyat plaza on 11th of june.
Now im thinking of giving my laptop away to my sister, not that it isnt good, but she needs one. so i thought i would probably buy a new one
so uh
1.preferred brand: any
2.budget: under or around 2500 RM
3.usage: web browsing, photo/video editing, audio production,little to no gaming
4. screen size: 13-15
5.now, i do require portability. i will be moving around with the laptop. so an ultrabook-ish kinda profile is better for me and also i do need daily battery life for over a minimum of 6 hours of web browsing with wifi. need a good keyboard, and a good /touch/click pad
looking for a more rigid kind of a laptop like uh, say carbon fiber or maybe like a metal unibody chassis.

sidenote: i like almost everything about my current inspiron 14r. except for the battery life. in terms of build quality, its ok.
it produces MASSIVE amount of heat while gaming so i have to keep over a plain surface. touch pad is nice. so is the keyboard. display is ok. have 8 gigs of ram so quite fast but not when booting.takes over a minute for booting

had the new vaio t, vaio s, xps 14 and few others in mind, turns out they are either too expensive or doesnt that good of a battery life or not enough horsepower.
thanks in advance guys..sorry for the long post!

You won't get any carbon fibre for RM2.5k man  laugh.gif 
You need at least RM3.4k for that one

Anyway, can consider these instead:
14"
Dell [Ultrabook]Inspiron 14z, i5-3317U + AMD HD7570M + 32GB SSD + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2599[1.87kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm) *no VGA port
HP [Ultrabook] Envy4-1043TX/1053TX, i5-3317U + AMD HD7670M + [32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)]@RM2599[Beats][1.75kg], 4GB, W7HP
Lenovo [Ultrabook]U410, i5-3317U + Nvidia G610M + 32GBSSD + 320GB(5400rpm)@RM2599,W7HP, colors: grey/pink, 2 years international warranty

uughh!! what if i increased the budget a little bit? about 3k maybe? will take me a while to stack the money..but if its worth it..im up for it..

envy 4 : quite pretty, but way too many complaints about the touch pad,keyboard and the screen..
so no deal

lenovo u410 : pretty,complaints about screen, not enough horsepower from the graphics department.
also kinda no deal sad.gif

inspiron 14z : just had a laptop almost same as that, only lighter and and better battery life. its a better deal than the rest..but uh..im not too sure i want This.

i am sooo sorry guys for being too picky..really, forgive me..but what else would i get for 3k
must have good screen,keyboard,touchpad. discreet graphics is a huge plus.
need/want a good battery life.

i asked here because i just cant find 'the' laptop..
