That is the thing, which is why I specifically say that its good to have when
i) you have the budget
ii) you are getting a >15.6" notebook (they have better cooling; and they are not really known for good battery life in the 1st place)

is that means 14" not really suitable for i7, but i though14" i7 power consumption and heat dissipation still the way better than core 2 duo right ?

Quad core i7 generates a lot more heat than i5 and core 2 duo
It all depends on whether you need the i7 or not (based on your requirements, you don't need it). If you insist on getting one, then getting a 15 incher would be better, especially so if you don't mind getting a 14 or 15" notebook

Thanks for replying, but i have more questions now...
1. what is OD??
2. Is the skullcandy speaker from dell better than ordinary laptop speaker (not those beats speaker for laptop), worth it to get?
3. I know dell special edition laptop comes with skullcandy speaker but how about The ultrabook inspiron 14z ?? Does normal inspiron 14 comes with skullcandy speaker too??

1. OD = Optical drive. The Inspiron 14z has it
2. Yeah it should be better than those standard ones, but not by a lot

Here's a review on the unit (specs may differ): http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/de...n-14z-2012.aspx

15" weight is my concern, and i need i7 but i do use lappy on non aircond room enviroment ....,..oh wat should i do

No you don't need i7
But if you insist, just go ahead with it, its your choice at the end of the day

What about Samsung Series 5 Ultra 14"?

That one is RM3.5k?

then which i5 prcessor should i looking for 3210M or 3370U, i doubt i'll regrete if i don't opt for i7 ....... should i wait for Ivy Bridge ......buying a new laptop hans been in my mind for nearly 1 year aldy

Not sure whether you know what you are talking about
Almost all processors in the market now are Ivy Bridge ones

As for the i5 processors, go for the normal ones (non-ULV); i5-3210M for your case.
Avoid ULV ones i.e. i5-3317U

The final choice is yours

Hi, anyone using Lenovo S300? Is it good?

I really wanted the S300, but stupid Lenovo Malaysia only brought in the lowest end model, which is pathetic considering there are even i5-3317U variants abroad
Anyway, you have a rough estimate on the performance based on this unit with the same processor: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo...ok.82831.0.html

14"
Asus
A45VD-VX053v, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT610M (2GB)@RM2099[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm); colors: white/red
A45Vm-VX113v, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M (2GB)@RM1999[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HP

The A45Vd has a much weaker graphic card..

In terms of GPU performance, GT630M = AMD HD7670M

15.6"
Asus
A55VD, i3-3110M + Nvidia GT610M@RM1599, 2GB, 500GB, freeDOS; colors: white/red/black
A55VD-VX260V/262V/286V, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT610M@RM2099, 2GB, 500GB, W7HP; colors: white/red/blue
A55VM-SX037, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM2399, 4GB, 750GB, W7HP
A55VM-SX038V, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT630M@RM3099, 6GB, 750GB, W7HP

Must be U310 i5 version still selling unfinish?
