Hey guys, I've been planning to purchase a new laptop for the past few months but couldn't decide which one to get.
Been doing research on both AMD Turion 64 and Intel C2D, only find out that Intel has more cache than AMD with the same processor speed.
I'm not sure if I multi-task alot, but I always have more than 10 tabs on my Firefox, clicking here and there.
Budget is around RM3500 and I'm currently located in Australia, found 2 target, but need your help to compare both of them, thanks.

I personally prefer larger screen and the looks on the Toshiba, but the HP offer better processor, "Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 2.5GHz".
Is it that much better?
And I also hope to do a little gaming like COD and some latest game, doesn't really care about how good they going to look like, as long as it can be run smoothly.

DELL Studio 1735 - T9300 2.5Ghz 800MHz / ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 / 4GB RAM / 500GB HDD / 17" - RM3700

ASUS M51VA - T9400 2.53Ghz 1066MHz / ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 / 4GB RAM / 320GB HDD / 15.4" - RM4200

Bonus for ASUS: 250Gb Leather Bound Portable Hard Disk + ASUS Carry Case & ASUS Optical Travel Mouse



Would just like to ask does RM500 extra worth paying on the Asus for better processor and the bonuses?
Any feedback on Asus laptop? I only know Dell is good worldwide, but not sure about Asus.

Asus seems to get low rating on NotebookCheck.

Would also appreciate if you can suggest any other laptop with similar Graphic and Processor. S42 is out as I can't get it from where I am at (Australia).

Thanks!

Another choice from Acer.

Acer Aspire Gemstone 6930G - P8600 2.40Ghz / nVidia GeForce 9600M GS 512Mb / 3GB RAM / 320GB HDD / 16" - RM3700
