Great budget you have there laugh.gif
Still, do take note that performance, weight and battery life don't really get along, you have to compromise abit nod.gif
15.6"

*prices in RRP, negotiable
*use remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years (except Asus since its very expensive and not worth it for the quality provided)
*Use remaininng budget to upgrade RAM to at least 8GB and also HDD to SSD (very important!). These will give you faster performance in terms of work and also gaming.

The AMD HD8850 and GT750M offer the best graphic performances among the lot.
My vote goes the to the Inspiron 15R, with remaining budget spent on warranty extension to 3 years

for eg:

1. Preferred Brand
2. Budget
3. Usage
4. Preferred laptop/screen size

so since you budget is 2k-2.5k,

I checked with Dell in low yat plaza last week. Apparently they can sell me a DOS version of the 5470 and install a Windows 7 OS which I purchase from them.
Warrenty wise is still the same.
Is the 4th gen Intel processor in the Dell much better than the 3rd gen processor on the Lenovo? Where can I get the E431 in low yat plaza?

I think its best to check whether there are drivers for W7 first oh before buying that 5470 nod.gif

For normal usage, you won't notice much differences between the two. But if you need to do something CPU intensive, then the one in the Lenovo is better since its a Mobile, non-ULV processor nod.gif

As for the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge, it might be better for you to search Garage Sales here since these business-line notebooks are pretty rare in shops nod.gif
Perhaps can try numbertwo, storm88, devour, hikari85 etc.? icon_rolleyes.gif
