Looks is very subjective, its best that you check out each laptop by yourself and decide nod.gif

1. Preferred Brand-Nothing
2. Budget-2kish
3. Usage-A little bit of gaming, watching vids
4. Preferred laptop/screen size- None

As a side note, I have narrowed it down to the Inspiron 14/15R special edition. I'm open to other laptops though. smile.gif

This one looks really attractive but I've only heard bad things about Asus laptops. Can anyone comment on this laptop? Btw, does it have Nvidia 640 or 645? From my google search it looks like 640.
Also, is the Ideapad Z580 up-gradable to W8 and can perform well?

Based on sold units, the A45VS comes with GT645M nod.gif
Asus units are generally nicely designed and reliable. But if you happen to get a "bad apple", then you will have problems since Asus Malaysia's warranty is pretty bad  hmm.gif

Then this is the laptop for me I guess. GT 645 is way better than GT 640? Btw, when was this laptop released? Can't seem to find info about it.

Yeah GT645M is slightly better than the GT640M, the Asus was released around 1-2 months ago nod.gif

Nice! This does seem to cut it for me in terms of specs. Just disappointed with the webcam quality. And the RAM definitely needs an upgrade, right?
