Hi.. I would like to buy a laptop (budget about RM3k, but the lower the batter). I primarily wanna use it for surfing, office work, photoshop, and some heavy Flash or powerpoint presentations. Any reccomendation?

I'm currently looking at the Acer 4520, which is going at about RM2k with the following specs:

AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TK-53 1.70 GHz 256 KB L2 cache
Linux
1GB DDR2 667 MHz RAM
Nvidia GeForce 7000M (256 MB of system memory)
Nvidia nForce 610M (MCP67-MV)
Deatiled specs here (http://www.techtree.com/India/Reviews/Acer_Aspire_4520/551-84197-616.html)

Any comments or suggestions? Any other models I should consider?

Thanks in advance.

i would recommend you to use Intel processor...TK chip is slower as compare to TL, but generate less heat and energy saving.
as for graphic, go for dedicate graphic, Nvidia geforce is not really a good one,
at least a 8400Gs/8600GT, but @ your budget 3K, 8400GS is what you can get.
acer generally cheaper, get yourself at least a 4920G model...
as for dell, go for 1420/1520 with 8400GS...

Thanks for the quick reply. I actually posted the wrong specs. Was too tired last night sweat.gif

The actual specs:

And it only cost RM1799

Any comments on this?
I also took a look at the 4920G model you suggested. Just had a price drop to RM2999, with ATI HD 2400XT. Seems good too, but would I require the graphics processing power for photoshop, and some heavy Flash or powerpoint presentations?

Thanks in Advance.
