Hey there, planning to get a new laptop soon, currently shopping around so will need some ideas and recommendations.

Brand: Along the lines of Dell and HP/Compaq. Not Acer (Some say quality kinda sucks, not long lasting). Not Sony (I think the extra costs for style and design isn't necessary).

Use: Typical work (eg: internet surfing, emailing, downloading, work, assignments, etc), and also to properly run games (no lagging or hang) like Sims 2 and DotA.

Size: Hopefully not too heavy (Less than 2.8 kg). and not too big (Less than 15')

Budget: Max RM 2.6k

Really need your help and suggestions, need recommendations on:
- Brand and model
- Specs

Hehe thanks thanks =)

Alright, then how about the specs?

- Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, would 1.8GHz be enough, or more than enough?
- Memory: Would 2G RAM be enough, or more than enough?
- Graphic Card: Would the NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS be necessary?

Thanks for d insight =)
