Hi, I'm new here in LYN. I need to get a laptop/notebook but I'm all confused with the brands the specifications. Did some research around but it got me even more confuse.

Budget: Would be around RM3600, best if below RM4000 (the balance will be throw in for an external hdd either 1TB or 500GB) Can't afford a MacBook Pro

Brand: Not that particular, perhaps if u stream down to my requirements. Initially I am very interested with the Dell XPS M1530 due to the pricing which suits my budget. But after strolling around the forum, saw some review saying that the graphic card is a time bomb or equivalent, therefore, it's out of my list already.

Size: Anything above 14"inch. (14"inch is still acceptable). Weight as long as not heavier than 3KG.

Build/Appearance: Standard. Black is the standard color I suppose.

Specifications: Must have a graphic card. Processor must be 2.0Ghz above, HDD at least 160GB above (is this a standard size that come together with new notebook?), Webcam, Good Screen for graphics and video, Acceptable Sound and etc specs that comes along with the notebook.

Requirements: For graphics design purposes, adobe series, video editing, gaming that can support DOTA (this is why I write off the XPS due to the graphic card issue), Listen music, Watch drama, MSN, foruming and etc...

Please advice. Many thanks in advance.

Cheers.
