Same as previously recommended bro
The 14R SE has Skullcandy speakers, not exactly the best of its class, but still better than those with non-branded speakers

I'm considering the Dell 14R SE. But when i check the webpage, i see the first 2 same specs but different prices, 2049 vs 2268, why is that so?

One give you a instant cash rebate, one don't. So which one will you pick? Hint, hint

The RM 2268 version includes Microsoft® Office Home and Student 2010

How about lenovo or asus ....?cause still consider inter.warranty?

Asus notebooks come with international warranty (2 years), but the local warranty support is pretty bad.
Lenovo offers regional warranty service (2 years for certain models)... local warranty should be average.
Dell, if you opt for 3 years warranty, it will automatically become international

Preferred Brand = Asus or Acer
2. Budget - The lowest the better
3. Usage - Work, might be using Autocad Inventor.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15.6" or 14"( Battery Run Time +8 hrs)

Please advise. Thanks

Don't think there is a 14/15" notebook with 8 hours battery

This 1 good arr?

Thanks

Get Dell Latitude E6430 with 9-cell battery + 9 cell battery slice

TQ lee_what sifu

+1.
Yes, this combination give 10+ hours normal usage

Wow...nice price to for the dell latitude ee6430.
To high, company probably will not approve.
thank you.

M5-481PTG-53316G52, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT640M + 20GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2999, 10-point touch, W8

Pretty good. The i5 ULV is slightly slower than normal i5 M, but still ok. Autocad Inventor can utilise the GT640M.
Don't be "misled" by the 8 hour battery performance claimed by brands (you need to read the fine print at the bottom of the link you provided)
Expect 5 hour max under normal usage.

Do you need the touch screen feature? If not, you are paying for something that you don't use. Poking at screen across keyboard is not ergonomically sound and the 14" will tend to wobble over time as you repeatedly poke poke

Consider this:
Asus
K46CM-WX090H, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M@RM2199[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8, OD

Compare to the M5, you could buy RAM, swap the HDD with SSD (which improve battery performance among other benefits), buy another battery for spare (M5 battery has higher rated capacity compared to K46CM), with money left in your pocket.

Thank you very much for the help.

Last question, is Asus S56CM better then K46CM. Thank.

K46CM-WX090H, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M@RM2199[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8, OD
S56CM-XX090H i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB@RM2499[2.3kg], 2GB, W8; color: black

Diff is RM300. You are paying more for a larger screen (but same resolution, so the image you see is the same) which drain battery faster and a small mSATA SSD (factory default set for caching, which you don't need if you decide to go full SSD)
Also, since you stress battery performance, I sense mobility is important to you, and S56 is heavier.

I think you will be better off spending the money on K46CM and upgrades to full SSD

The advantage of S56CM is that the keyboard has a full size numpad (which is convenient if you need to punch in lots of number).
