COMPAQ CQ40-126AU - CPU Amd Turion X2 RM-70 - Display Radeon HD3200 - CASH Rm 1, 799

COMPAQ CQ40-152TU - CPU Intel Core Duo T3400 - Display Intel X4500 - CASH Rm 1, 799

which one of this is better? is the radeon HD3200 better than intel x4500 or they're both the same?

is there any differences in terms of performance and heat between these two models?

actually for autocad onboard GC is already enough.but of course with dedicated GC it would be better.GC is expendable for me.furthermore don't want that extra heat.been thinking of dell inspiron 1420.recommended?

Brand
anything goes but no acer, no benQ, no Compaq.
currently looking at HP DV4 series, toshiba m300 series, or xps 13 series, sony vaio cs16
or asus f6??

Budget
preferably below RM4k. MAX RM4.5k

Specs
ermm... C2D T8xxx or T9xxx (any Centrino2 at this budget??)
not a hardcore gamer, but would hope that the specs could provide moderate gaming capabilities?? looking at 9300M
2gb ram seems like a norm nowadays. 3gb would be nice. 4gb would be a bonus.
hdd capacity isnt a priority. 160gb will be enuf. 250gb will be a bonus.

Size
max 14' or below 2.5kg
min 13'

well... the main dilemma i'm having here is probably the branding choices. and hopping to get the best value vs spec out of my budget.
since the specs i have in mind is in a small range. while still hoping to get a centrino 2.

Some of the models i'm looking at:

Recommend me a laptop please.


Basically, I have a budget of around RM2,500 or less. Will be bringing it to Canada in the middle of this year to use during my 4 years there.

Anyway, I'll be using it for recording, regular web browsing, and college assignments. 2GB or more of RAM would be good, as well as a decent amount of storage and perhaps a DVD burners.

Any suggestions?

Not sure about other brands, but when it comes to Sony it's better to buy in the UK, thanks to the downward spiral of the pound sterling.
About 2 months back my friend bought a Sony VG.. VG something can't remember the exact model but I posted about this price difference in the Vaio thread. It's the one with 16.4 screen. Comes with blu-ray and Vista Ultimate. In Malaysia the same model (albeit with Vista Premium) was selling for RM8k+ but in the UK it's only RM4k+ after conversion.
