Dear all,

I need some recomendation to get my first laptop. The following are my several criterias.

Most important criteria:
1. Prefer less than 2kg, including battery (not so prefer but can also consider up to 2.5kg)
2. Updated and fast processor, such as Intel Core 2 duo (don't want AMD, atom or something similar)
3. Laptop, not netbook.

Brand: Preference for Dell, HP (not HPcompaq), Fujitsu and Toshiba as these few are mostly recomended. Whereas, acer, asus and HPcompaq are not recomended.

Budget: RM2.5K to 4K (preferably around RM3k). Therefore i cannot afford any iMac. If any Sony can meet all my objectives, but below RM4k do list it out also.

Size: 12inch to 15inch.

Specs:
-Hard disk: at least 80GB
-RAM: at least 2GB
-Battery: not less than 3.5hrs (after fully charged).

Usage: Surfing, online trading and watching movies.

I don't need great sound card or graphic cards for playing games.

Thank you all in advance
