with tat budget and 2GB RAM..
i think Dell Inspiron is ur perfect fit..
perhaps if u 1 a good gaming laptop..
Benq S73G is another option..
go find for john...he's selling it at RM3599..
*
ya, if not mind 14.1", S73G is a good choice since it got X1600 that Dell's X1400 cant compare...

Hi. New here.

Currently researching on suitable lappys to bring over when I head off overseas soon. I'm generally a heavy user, and my use mainly is for running design programmes like 3DS Max, Sketchup, AutoCAD, Photoshop, Illustrator, Macromedia, Premier Pro, etc (you get the picture yea?), net usage and rather mild downloading.

Models considered has so far been Dell 9400 or the XPS 1210 because well, packaged prices are quite affordable.

So specs looking for will be as below:

1. Processing glory
2. Lots of RAM (minimum 1GB) or at the very least, allocated room to upgrade RAM (currently looking at models with dual channel DDR2^2 which allows for that)
3. A reasonably good graphics card to process everything la.
4. Doesn't have to have to compact size or with large screen or ultra light, but at least be portable enough to not break my back!
5. International warranty ;P

I think for the specs I listed, I can expect a budget of at least RM5000 - RM6000. Meh.

Recommendations pwease!
*
from u req, 9400 not so suitable for since it so heavy.. but so u may aim for 14.1 or below.. but ur budget quite high, shud be no problem, find john la.. smile.gif

Around 3-4.5K i guess..Juz want u guyz opinion whther getting a vista Premium would be good and wat kind of graphic card should i choose for games like Dota..So hard le this laptop stuff.. tongue.gif
*
for ur budget can get a lappy with a dedicated GC already.. if can just get this kind of lappy.. sure help in vista and game.

so how about screen size..? and the size related to weight also..
u wan 14.1 Wide (around 2.4kg) or bigger..? or smaller..?

after decide that, u will be more easy to choose the lappy..
